Thoroughly enjoyed the story.
Damn this was a great read!! Roderick and Ellie had a tough start but when they found each other again in an unexpected way you have to believe in such things as fate!!!! Captivating from the start. A must read!!!
Absolutely amazing and steamy
First book in the Written in the Stars series; a second chance romance that is emotionally deep and full of secrets, ups and downs, and drama. Likeable characters; the chemistry between them is intense and off the charts. A well written riveting read that will keep you on the edge of your seat through out. Definitely recommended!

Hmm, this is different. If you like astrology you will love this book. The characters and storyline are base on astrological signs.
Definitely fun! Do I believe? Not sure..
There is just enough push and pull to keep the pages turning

Rebecca did a fantastic job with the characters in this book! I blew through this story in one sitting and was sad when it was over. PS- that’s how you know it’s a good book!
Loved the book it was great to see, the story was well written and the characters were interesting. Roderick and Ellie have chemistry but also secrets they once had some time together. They both bump into each other, and all the feelings started with emotions that run wild will they sort it out or will they go their own way.
Thank you for you allowing me to review your book.

Is your future “Written in the Stars”
Reluctant to Love is the first book in the multi author series Written in the Stars. I have read a couple other short stories by Rebecca Gallo which she has written as part the Flirt Club. So with this book I was not sure what to expect as the book description looked like it might be a bit heavier yet the series concept is each book is based on one of the astrology signs.
This is a second chance romance story between Eleanor (Ellie) and Roderick. This story is interesting with a nicely developed story-line and good characters. I did want to kick Roderick’s butt from here to the moon and back initially but eventually he sort of redeemed himself. I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more in the series.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
Loved this story with writers Ellie and Roderick. She was his ghostwriter until they fell in love and she finds out he is married but never told her. She leaves and doesn’t see him for four years until they meet at a writers convention. They where meant to be together if he can just convince her of that but she has a little surprise for him by the name of Izzy. What will the future hold for Roderick, Ellie and Izzy?

This is book one in the Written in the Stars series. A second chance story? Eleanor, Ellie has been brokenhearted for the last time, she has a steel fortress built around her heart and she is good with that. Roderick is a man that lives with bad choices but has no regrets in life. Except for maybe one that he didn’t realize until five years later and he sees Ellie again. Can these two sort out the secrets and mistakes of the past for a second chance for a future? I loved reading Ellie and Roderick’s story. I cannot wait to read more in this series. Enjoy!

When Ellie’s heart was broken by Roderick years before she never wanted to see him again. But as in real life, fate has a way of bringing two people meant for each other back together again. This is a second chance love story between Roderick and Ellie and I loved that the series is based on the Zodiac Signs. Great writing, entertaining storyline and believable characters make this a good read.

Reluctant to Love by Rebecca Gallo is an awesome book. This is the first book that I have read by Rebecca Gallo and she didn’t disappoint me. This is the 1st book in the Written in the Stars Series. This series is based on horoscopes and this is a fantastic concept. I couldn’t put my kindle down until I finished reading it.
Reluctant to Love tells the second chance at romance between Ellie Jessup and Roderick Payne. The book begins with the pair seeing each other again after so many years at the World of Books convention.

Will Ellie and Roderick rekindle their romance? Will the pair give in to the sizzling chemistry that is between them? Will Ellie tell Roderick the secret and have their happy ever after? You will have to read Reluctant to Love by Rebecca Gallo to find out!
I enjoyed reading Reluctant to Love so much! It was a quick and fast-paced read. I love how the horoscopes played a role in this book as well as the series. I can’t wait to read the rest of them. This book has plenty of romance and steamy, hot love scenes.

We meet Eleanor Jessup who’s trying to promote her book at World of Books and meets a friend, Rodney Payne whose the keynote speaker at the convention. Ellie was Famke’s intern as her husband Roderick was trying to write his debut novel. Famke was the president of a very prestigious book publishing company. Ellie was Roderick’s ghostwriter on his first two books and they ended up having an affair.
I absolutely loved this book. I loved Ellie, Roderick, and their daughter. Izzy. Famke got what she deserved. I’m so happy that Ellie got her fairytale ending. Can’t wait for the next book.
Relucatant is Love is an enjoyable and delightful read. I truly enjoyed reading about these two characters Roderick and Ellie. I thought it was a well written and a good storyline. Its a page turner and heartfelt story. I look forward to reading more stories by this author .

4.6 stars
This is the first book in the Written in the Stars series which brings together twelve authors penning stories around each of the zodiac signs. Up first is Aquarius and it is Eleanor’s story of a second chance at romance with her lost love Roderick, a Leo. The attraction between these two opposite signs combines to form a fountain of creativity that allows each person to deepen their relationship while they learn to let go and give each other the space to lead. I loved the writing style that this author brings to the table. It is well paced and you cannot seem to put it down once started. Grab a cup of your favorite drink, curl up in your favorite reading place and dive in! I volunteered to read an advance copy of this book.
