Dr. Kendall Haynes is a successful family practitioner specializing in allergies and asthma. She has everything she's ever wanted, except a husband and family. It is hard to watch her friends find love and marry, while she is still waiting. In Catch a Falling Star, two new gentlemen enter her life: Dr. Heath Parker and Colonel Griffin Walker. One is sure to be the man of her dreams, but the other is sure to bring only troubles. The problem is determining which is which!
This was a fun read, a sweet romance with Christian worldview. The characters are interesting and the story moves along quickly. I enjoyed this book and would recommend it.

I enjoyed reading this sweet story. Things are not always as they appear. We are with Dr Kendall Hayes who is thirty-six, and not married. She thought she could have it all...a medical career, a husband, and children. She is at that point in life where it doesn't look like it is going to happen. She is again going to be a bridesmaid in her friends wedding.
There is so much going on in Dr Hayes life, busy, busy. Her chance meeting with an old friend Dr Heath Parker, may put romance in the picture. He seems to be all that Kendall would want!
She also stumbles upon, really, when she is at the restaurant with her friends, Ian Walker as he collapses and nearly dies. He is there with his brother Colonel Griffin Walker.
We deal with some tough subject here, but God is in their lives. All they need to do is trust. There is also a side story here with one of Dr Kendall's office workers. She is trying to adopt a child, and things are not going well, but help comes from an unlikely source.
We find things are not always as they appear, and we will root for hopefully the right people to come out on top! This is a great, fast, page turning read, and the only part I was disappointed in was....I wanted more!

I received this book through Litfuse Bloggers Tour, and was not required to give a positive review.

Thank you to Litfuse Publicity for providing this in exchange for my honest review.



Love. Love. Love. This book just hit home for me. It touched on so many tough and deep things but was still a fun and enjoyable novel. I felt like it was written for my friends. A professional, 36 year old woman who is single but hoping not to be forever. A mom struggling to connect to an adopted son. Loss. Trouble connecting/letting people in. A book that includes the Air Force (After working for them for 4.5 years, I have a soft spot for them!). These are reality for people I know. As it is a novel, clearly their struggles are cut short or we only see a glimpse of them. We join them at the end of years of struggle just as the hope they've longed for arrives. That is the part that keeps it fun and enjoyable and not just the mundane struggle of daily life.



I seriously read this book in two days. I could not put it down. Beth Vogt is going to be a new favorite for me. I am on the hunt for more books by her. I will probably go back and reread this one. It felt like a Susan May Warren (very high praise from me) book, I was rushing to see what would happen. I was so caught up in the story. Now, I need to go back and savor the book. I honestly fell in love with these characters. I want Kendall's office/loft. I have a huge soft spot for Griffin and Ian--I could see people I know in each of them. I just wanted to hug them. I love that they are not teenagers or young 20's. When I was younger, I hated reading books about people so much older than me. In the same vein, I find it refreshing to read books with people in my current age group with struggles that reflect mine and those of the other people in my life. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to be exposed to this author.



Put this book on your summer reading list. It will be a lovely summer afternoon read.

A competently told romance by a favourite voice in CBA fiction.

What stood out for me about this romance was the age of the heroine---36 (Which in Christian romance dog years might as well be 80 what with the usual mid-20s heroines gracing the pages). To add, she a smart independent career woman who knew that she didn't NEED a change of life plan by way of husband and family but desired it.

Griffin, too, was a welcome change to the usual alpha males populating the contemporary romance sphere. Sure, he was independent, but his characterization and vulnerabilities made him believable and approachable.

An endearing romance that sets itself apart by featuring a mature hero and heroine-- not so much in age but in personality and career progression.
