This book is everything you want love, deceit, some amazing scenes, the writing is absolutely beautiful. It continues on from book one where the story of where jewels has been for the past six years. You will love and dislike Fernando and Jewels at one stage of the book but you have to understand why they do what they do. You get introduced to Aida (who I cannot wait to explore more of my god). The love between these two is beautiful but nothing will ever replace the love jewels and Rome have. It flows so well her writing is immaculate. I never wanted to put this book down even when I needed to sleep. This book.. well this series is brilliant and I cannot highly recommend another.
This book is based around Romeo and Juliet. You need to read the first book in the series before you read this book for it to make sense.

Wow, just freaking WOW!!
Calling all Shakespearean lovers and all romance readers who love a retelling… my heart is fractured into jagged pieces and it’s bleeding out into slow immeasurable amounts- I feel so much love and heartbreak wrapped into one.
The retelling inspired by All Well That Ends Well by Isla Cristeon took my heart and my limits into a journey that I did not anticipate.
I fell in love, I felt my heart breaking, I questioned my loyalties and even my sanity at times. Still, I found myself swooning, laughing and bursting with so much excitement.
A Bright Particular Star is book two in the continuation of the Verona saga. This story was very much Fernando and Jewel’s side of the story, and I fell so deeply madly in love- in blinding foolish love, not once or twice, but three times- wishing against all the greatest Shakespearean tales that something so heart wrenchingly beautiful couldn’t be so tragic.

It’s not the end END… but my heart is desperate to feel that connection for Jewel and Rome again and I want to see Nando finding his lady love too… but my heart is so torn, so divided… and it’s tearing me to pieces as much as I am tearing myself apart.
Fair warning as with all things Shakespeare, this story will culminate into a beautiful tragedy, for now… I cannot wait for the next instalment!
5 Bright and Very Particular Stars
A Bright Particular Star was everything and more. I thought the first book was spectacular but this one blew me away.
Fernando I loved him from the very first book. He had a special place in my heart, I was glad we saw his side of his feeling. Everything he did to protect and love a women that technically wasn’t even his. I applaud his strength and his noble ness. Everything he is still doing to help them to bring the together just shows you so much character.
Jewel with no reconciliation of the past after her car accident. She wakes up to a husband who she has had a crush on as a child. She doesn’t remember her true love Roman. How they’re love is epic and forbidden. Doesn’t understand why her husband isn’t loving her how a really husband should his wife.
She wants a real marriage with Fernando but he denies her. Because once her memory returns he knows they won’t be married for long.

Wow. Wow, wow, wow. I was not expecting this book to turn out how it did at all. ‘A Bright Particular Star’ was full of surprises and I’m begging for more.
Book 2 in the Verona Saga focuses on Fernando and Jewel. She has woken up from her coma with no recollection of the previous 3 years of her life. What she does know, she’s married to the boy she had a crush on when she was younger, and she wants him more with every passing day.
Fernando is trying to keep his promise to Roman. With every day that goes by, Jewel makes it harder and harder to keep his promise. He’s always wanted her, but for the first time, she wants him back. In a moment of Jewel induced weakness, he lets her know there is only one way he will ever allow her to share his bed. He thinks he’s come up with something that is utterly impossible, but he was so very wrong.
This book was amazing! I was so upset when I got to the end for 2 reasons. Reason 1, I could have read more about Jewel and Fernando for days. Reason 2, I wasn’t paying attention and didn’t realize how close to the end of the book I was. I wasn’t prepared for it to be over, but this book has me chomping at the bit for book 3. From beginning to end, I couldn’t put this book down. There were twists and turns that I never saw coming, and certain parts that broke my heart. Absolutely amazing story, and I can’t wait for book 3!
