In a literary romance world of rock stars, Terri’s focus on country music is refreshing. I’ve been looking forward to this coming out (so much that is was in my planner). Jesse and Ash have history. Tragic history. As their paths cross again in the business, they find they need each other. Business leads to pleasure and their own second chance. I love getting updates on characters in previous books and seeing the groundwork laid for the next book in the series.
I really enjoyed this second chance romance. This is also the first book I’ve read in this series & I cannot wait to catch up with Book One & Two!
Wishing on a Star the 3rd book in A Shooting Stars Novel-

However when Ash Shepherd her high school sweetheart and successful songwriter steps in the picture things might go her way. The only thing is it may not, because they have a history.
See what happens and buy the book.
Ms. Osburn never disappoints.
I have never been a fan of country music but really enjoyed the author’s Rising Star, so I decided to give this one a try.
Once again, the author managed to engage me in the story from the beginning.
This story belongs Jesse Gold and Ash Shepherd. Jesse, is a young country singer who after a breakup with her singing partner, is trying to overcome the obstacles and stories saying she is a difficult diva to work with. All false accusations, but the entertainment business is hard enough to succeed in, even without these rumors.
Ash Shepherd, now a music producer, is the boy she loved in her youth , but also the one that left her when she needed him most after a tragedy that affected them both. Now it seems destiny has put them back together.
Will the truth of why he left help heal them? Will new rumors keep them apart? Will they be able to help each other professionally or will they lose out on their HEA?
Aside from a good story, it’s also a reminder that how our parents treat us as well as past experiences, will in fact affect us the rest of our lives. Paraphrasing the author, you can’t change your parents or the past, but you might be able to get a second chance at life and love and find your HEA.
I was entrusted a copy of this book. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
Clay Benedict has signed Jesse Gold to a solo record deal after the breakup of the duo Honkytonk Daisies and hired Ash Shepherd, an experience songwriter and new producer, to produce the album. They have different opinions on the perfect songs to include in the album. Now the questions is, will Jesse be able to work with Ash and will Ash be able to produce an album that puts Jesse on the road to stardom.
This is the third book in the Shooting Stars series by Terri Osburn. Terri loves the city of Nashville and knows the music business and it comes through in her writing. The characters are high spirited, strong willed and have heart. A good read!
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this novel.
A second chance romance between Jesse and Ash, they were high school sweethearts, now fast forward ten years. Jesse is a new recording artist for Shooting Stars Records and is known to be difficult to work with. Ash is anxious to turn from song writing to producing, so the this will be the perfect opportunity. Now can they work together and not deny the sparks that are reigniting between them again
Loved these characters!! Ash was my favorite,such a big heart. This is a story that I did not want to see end! This book is part of a series but can be read as a stand alone.
After enjoying the first two books in the ‘Shooting Stars’ series very much, I was really looking forward to reading the next book in the series, ‘Wishing on a star’. (You don’t have to really read the previous books first to read this one but I would recommend that you read them too because I really liked them.)
Shooting Stars Record is always on the lookout for talented singers to work with. This time they want to give female country singer Jesse Gold the chance to make it to the top. But first they have to find a producer who is prepared to work with her and that isn’t as easy as it sounds. When they finally found someone, it’s the last person that Jesse wants to work with is but she doesn’t have a lot of choice if she wants to make it as a solo artist. Jesse and Ash Shepherd share a past together, a painful one, but the more time they spend together the more they come to the conclusion that they don’t know everything about what really happened in the past.
And that isn’t the only thing that they discover when working together. The chemistry between them is still there. But does their love deserve a second chance or is it better to leave those feelings in the past?
‘Wishing on a star’ is a good second chance romance story. I especially liked Ash character, he’s a good man with a big heart. Jesse’s character was also likeable but she was a bit more unsecure about herself. But that’s understandable, in the showbiz world there is a lot of pressure to be perfect. The story is told from both POV’s. I loved the interaction between Ash and Jesse and I was glad to see the other characters from the previous stories back. I only found the end of the story, for me personally, a bit too sweet. Suddenly everything was alright with everyone?! I don’t know how to feel about it but it’s certainly not something bad. I’m just not sure if I would have forgiving everyone so easily.
The writer Terri Osburn created an interesting world, with this series about a record label in Nashville. I really love all the characters in it and I’m already looking forward to the next book.
