For anyone who’s ever dared to follow their dreams, May Leave Stars proves nothing is out of reach! Catherine C. Heywood’s Paris burns hotter and shines brighter — her prose clever and banter sharp — making the reader feel as though they are walking through the city's streets. A story sure to capture your imagination and tug at your heart! -- Author A.R. Hadley

I loved Jasper and Amelie as a couple. Their chemistry was tangible... But it's the backdrop and setting that makes the intense romance stand out. -- Raya's Reads

For me, this book certainly exceeded all expectations. Not only it was classic with all the terms used in that period, the author took care of great details while writing this. It was different from all the books in similar genre. This one was really special. -- Bookreviewer_98

This book certainly creates a vivid world of the late 1800s; the world of the female and society's judgements and expectations. Of power, control, passion, troubles and hardships....I enjoyed the writer’s descriptions of 1880s Paris, the performance halls and the start of the Moulin Rouge...Recommended for readers looking for a different kind of historical love story. -- Books, Tea, and Me
