Seeing Stars
Arizona astronomer Claire Welland is anything but starry-eyed when it comes to romance. She knows her home on an isolated mountaintop observatory makes marriage to most men impossible, but that doesn’t mean she can’t have a little romantic fun. The last thing she expects when she comes home to Port Townsend, Washington, for her high school reunion is to be swept off her feet by blake McKenzie.
Once the town bad boy, Blake is now a prominent shipbuilder dedicated to helping local teens. When he asks Claire to talk to one of his boys about astronomy, he’s only thinking she might give direction to a troubled kid. He certainly never dreamed she’d inspire him - to fall in love. Now Blake is determined to show Claire that their future together is in the stars…if she’ll only open her eyes.

About the author
Vanessa Grant
88 books43 followers"I love writing fiction - it's the perfect occupation for someone who can't decide what they want to be when they grow up. With each new story, I get to explore a new world."
Vanessa Grant's love affair with writing fiction began during a protracted illness at the age of 12 when she decided to write a novel of her own, sitting up in bed using the typewriter she'd been given for her birthday. Not a computer, not an electric typewriter, but a then-state-of-the-art manual typewriter. The story ground to a halt on page 50 but Vanessa never forgot the excitement of bringing her own characters to life.
In 1985 Vanessa's novel Pacific Disturbance was published in hardcover by Mills and Boon. She now has over 10 million books sold and has been translated into 15 languages. She also has written what one critic described as, "by far the best writing book I've ever read." Writing Romance, published by Self Counsel Press, won the Under the Covers Best Writing Book Award, and is currently in its third edition.
Over the years her love of storytelling and curiosity about people led Vanessa to study psychology, volunteer on a crisis line, complete individual and relationship counselor training, volunteer as a peer counselor for a family life organization, and tell stories about life, love, and secrets. Vanessa is also a university professor, a publisher of educational materials and eBooks, and has given workshops to writers' groups in Australia, New Zealand, the USA and Canada.
Vanessa and her husband live on Vancouver Island in the Pacific Northwest with their two Australian Shepherd dogs.

Let's combine 2 tropes I hate: manipulative "friends" who exist to move the plot along and women giving up high profile awesome careers that they love for a man.
Heroine: I'm a highly successful astronomer who just had a comet named after me. I am about to interview for the job of my dreams but first my best friend has forced me to go to my high school reunion because she thinks I need to get laid.
So I do get laid. And don't use protection. On a whim I decide to keep the baby if I am pregnant even though Plan B is readily available. I believe that this shouldn't impact my career very much at all.
The man I slept with has fallen in love with me despite a firm 1 week time limit to our affair. He declares his love for me after 4 days and wants me to give up my job to marry him. I say no and leave. I find out I'm pregnant and I got the job. I decide to give up my job so we can be a family. Instead of a job as a researcher at an internationally funded telescope I will books for children about astronomy! After all, he can't possible build boats anywhere else in the world.

I really enjoyed it up until the end. Then it went downhill very fast. So, overall, it was OK - 2 stars.
I enjoyed the set-up, even with the annoying friend who put it all in motion. The whole life after high school, seeing everyone with new eyes can make for a good premise. I didn't like the best friend who pushed Claire into attending the reunion in the first place. Hate that whole "your life would be oh-so-much more fulfilling if you got laid and/or had kids" attitude. That character model has irritated me in a number of books now.
I enjoyed the chemistry building between Claire and Blake, including all the interactions with the kids. I really enjoyed having an intelligent, science-minded, career-driven woman as a h. I mean, she has a comet named after her, PhD studies, and it doesn't seem out of character (sometimes characters who are supposed to have such higher levels of training/education can sound so very forced). All pluses.
Where did it go kaput for me? When Claire started going all baby crazy.
Alternating 3rd person POV. Some annoying OW drama with an old ex of his, but it's not a super huge plot line. Really enjoyable and relatable character until getting towards the end, then it goes downhill fast and hard (if you're curious for more, see the spoiler above). HEA and no cliffhangers. A free find on Kindle at the time.

*3.5 STARS*
Cute story of un-requited love/lust in high school revisited in adulthood. Reminded me of One Reckless Summer in some ways.
One thing that kept me from really liking this one was the fact that Claire did something unforgivable in my eyes when she . That's just not something I can EVER justify, and it just makes me loathe to call that person a woman.
Ok, off my soapbox now. I was enjoying it up until that point and then afterward I was perseverating on it throughout the rest of the story and it just dwindled my enjoyment.
I thought Blake's response to that awful behavior was a bit unrealistic as well.

I liked this story, I liked the concept, I liked the characters. I didn't like the editing.
Whether it was the actual editor, proof-reader, or a problem with a conversion to Kindle format I'm not sure. There are way too many stupid little mistakes throughout the book that just drove me crazy. For example, there is a section of the book where a character named Grace was referred to as Grade. And that's just one minor problem. It would take me right out of the story and drove me nuts!
I also had a problem with the heroine, Claire, right about the time she made a really selfish/stupid decision to tell a lie. I always hate spoilers so I'll just say that I feel that the way Claire came about a decision later redeemed her in my eyes.
I would have liked more of what I call "warm-fuzzies", but I did get some. And I adored the hero, Blake and his "boys".
Overall, I liked it enough to give the author another shot and hope it's edited better.

Liar liar pants on fire. This heroine lied. Additionally she had a Phd and basically quit her job. Disgusting. I really think that a woman walking out on a stellar career for a man is a terrible ending for a book. How she could she lie about something as elemental and important as birth control was disgusting and I could not find a reason to like her after that. The "hero" was barely tolerable-- that he would let/ask her to end her career path was enough to make him seem less than desirable.
This book got 2 stars because the author finished it and had some quippy dialog.

DNF
Nope. The description sounded intriguing, but I couldn't get past the second/third chapter. Both of the main characters kind of freaked me out from the beginning mainly because they both seemed obsessive/stalkerish in the way they were interacting with each other, but it was also to the point of utter ridiculousness.

This review is of “Seeing Stars” by Vanessa Grant.
The book begins on a mountaintop in Arizona. It is here that Claire Welland, PhD, the heroine of the book, works as an astronomer. Claire has just received an invitation to her 15th year high school reunion in her birth state of Washington. Claire doesn’t want to go; she didn’t enjoy high school very much, and she doesn’t want to run into her high-school crush, Blake “Mac” McKenzie, again.
With a little nudging from a friend, Claire goes to her reunion. There, she meets up with people she doesn’t remember, people she doesn’t want to see and…Blake, the hero of the book. Blake is a shipbuilder, and Claire is stunned to discover that he reciprocates her feelings. Claire agrees to have a one-week affair with Blake, and then they go their own separate ways, at least that’s the plan.
In addition to his shipbuilding business, Blake helps turn around the lives of at-risk teenage boys, and he asks Claire to help him with some of his current charges.
As Claire and Blake’s relationship deepens and they become lovers, there are issues they have to deal with. First, the disapproval of Blake’s sister, Lydia-who later warms to Claire-and the fact that Claire has a potential job offer which would take her to Chile.
As their week together comes to an end, Blake and Claire have a big argument, with Blake basically calling her a coward who is too afraid to love someone, which is kind of true. After thinking about the reaming she received from Blake-plus the fact that she is pregnant with his child, Claire reassesses her plans, gives up the chance to go to Chile to marry Blake and have a Happily Ever After.
Upside: There is clearly chemistry between Claire and Blake.
Downside: While they may have chemistry with each other, I didn’t feel any chemistry between them and me as a reader. I never felt like they were truly real people instead of words on a screen on my Kindle. The characters are woefully underdeveloped.
Sex; A few scenes which are barely lukewarm.
Violence: None.
Bottom Line: “Seeing Stars” had potential, but Ms. Grant never unlocked it.

Interesting and enjoyable
An interesting female character interested in the stars a rarely seen field in romance books and a welcome insight . Claire was an interesting character.
The same can be said for Blake. I liked the way that claire and Blake interacted.
I didn't enjoy the pregnancy element to this story that a strong female character would want a baby and to do this underhand the way that she did.
Other than this is was an interesting, enjoyable story.

First crush
Claire worked as an Astronomer at telescope in AZ. She didn't want to go back for her class reunion. Blake built boats and mentored boys who needed the help. She had a mad crush on him in high school. He thinks she's great, even back in school. He would like her to talk to one of his boys. Will it end up being more.

I downloaded this book when it was available as a freebie and just popped it into my "To be read" folder. I finally got round to starting it yesterday and well now it's finished.
I liked the idea of the book, and having finished it yes it was ok. I found Claire (the FC) to be rather annoying at times, as well as being extremely self-centred. Mac/Blake (the MC), depending on what you want to call him is not the boy she knew at school, he's given up a lot of his personal life to ensure the well being of others, firstly his step-father's young family and latterly working with troubled teenage boys. The 2 meet up 15 years after leaving school at a reunion and the story goes from there.
It's a fairly standard story really, nothing particularly offensive about it, reminded me of the old Mills and Boon romances my mum used to read, but it just lacked something. Admittedly it was first published in 2001 and the lack of references to what we consider everyday technology is telling and it ended rather too abruptly for my liking but if you want a easy, cheap, read then yes it's worth the money you pay for it.

This book was just ok for me. You have Claire, the astronomer and Blake the ship maker / keep boys out of trouble, man. They make a deal. Claire will help one of Blake's kids, Jake, but in return Blake makes all of Claire's highschool fantasies come true. I believe Claire told herself not once, not twice but so many times "but Jenn said to have an affair with the flaming bad boy from her class."
The story had potential but it was just boring. I felt myself skimming just to get to the end.
I didn't feel a connection with Claire. I am thinking it was her character that made it boring. She just got to repetitive. Not to mention her "little white lie". That just seemed out of the water, and another reason to not feel the connection.
Blake was a well rounded great guy. and loved his character.
The story was dual POV and thank goodness b/c if i had to be in Claire's head the whole time I wouldn't have even skimmed the book.. I would have just stop reading all together.
I wouldn't recommend this book being a top priority on any ebook reader's list.

Claire was happy with how her world is currently. She is content and doesn't see a need for a change. An invitation to a high school reunion makes her re-think things. Her best friend Jennifer talks her into enjoying an affair. Blake Mackenzie has no time for any one else in his life. His family, the boys he helps, and his shipbuilding take up all his time. Both of them just want physicality and nothing more. Can they keep their bargain?
Ms. Grant knows how to write heat. The pages sizzled and I found myself fanning my face. It wasn't too much. I am impressed. The emotions were real and raw. She writes characters that you care about, you cheer for and hope they get their happily ever after. I also loved the minor characters and loved seeing them change a little too. I will definitely check out more of her work.

This book is about Claire Welland going back home for her high school reunion. She meets up with Blake the old school bad boy, and he offers her a deal. She wants one week of romance, and he gets help with troubled teenagers.
Along the way they both realize they have feelings for each other, and can't be sure they can let the other go.
Overall this book was okay. I had a major dislike for Claire, I couldn't stand her. I thought she was a jerk, selfish, and very uncaring. I couldn't believe a lot of the things she did, it was just horrible. I did like Blake, and the rest of the characters in the book. And I liked the plot, that is the only reason this book is a three star and not a two.

I quite enjoyed the first two thirds of this book but then something happened that changed the dynamic of the story and spoilt it for me. This was something of an old-fashioned romance, and in some ways seemed more dated than 14 years old! The leading female character, Claire was very self-absorbed and quite emotionally stunted. The leading man was much more appealing as a person and far more adult.
The ending was too abrupt and as so much of the last part of the book was about problems left too much unresolved to feel that their HEA was secured.
Overall an okay read, with some nice touches but I won't be seeking out other books by this author, although if I picked something else up that she has written I might give it a go.

The good: Better than average character development for this genre and the plot was almost believable, which is rare in contemporary romance. The tension between what each character wanted in life (mountain v. ocean) was well done, too.
The bad: Rushed ending. She was frustrating at times, but then so are real people, so it was somewhat realistic in that vein.
Also, it's important to note that this book was originally written in 2001, which explains why she had to ask teenagers if they are "on the Net" and no one has smartphones.

Claire is an astronomer. She returns to Port Washington for a class reunion. She is not as skilled with social interactions as star gazing. She has a brief affair and it turns into a relationship she can not handle. The story is about the week of a brief affair. Claire and Mac also work on restoring a sail boat and Claire helps some at risk teenagers build a telescope. It is a fun read with sexual descriptions that may be over done for a lot of readers. They didn't add that much to story and imagination might have been enough.

The idea of a fling with an old crush is the start of a great story, but the scientific side of the main character and her determination to be independent make the story a bit of a rollercoaster ride. Some wonderful moments with troubled teenagers really pull the story back into focus. Fun & quick paced as you get into it. My mom used to say that some people were so smart that they were stupid. I couldn't help thinking about that during the whole birth control dilemma.
February 25, 2013
Looks like I'm in the minority here -- I wanted to like this book better, and I hate writing negative reviews because I wouldn't want someone to write a negative review of my stuff. I just couldn't get into the story or the characters. I loved the heroine's occupation, and that the hero was the town bad boy. I didn't see anything special about the secondary characters either.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
July 14, 2013
I got this as a freebie and I loved it. Claire was forward when she asked for a week of romance from former bad boy Blake. It might have started off as a low risk affair but with the chemistry between them it wasn't going to stay that way. This a good read without too much drama in the form of former exes and family members trying to step in.
July 20, 2013
A sweet story with interesting characters tha were absorbing. Claire is a shy astronomer who hasn't really lived life, wrapped up in her work. Blake, an old crush from high school is just as she remembers when she meets him at a reunion. The affair that ensues is much more than either expected. Thoroughly enjoyable.
August 20, 2015
Four point five
I enjoyed this book thoroughly. The characters have depth and nuance in ways the reader wouldn't expect, as does the story. My one criticism is that I thought the ending was a bit too abrupt. While I am not a fan of sappy epilogues, I thought there was too much lead up for such a sudden finish.

This book needs some editing work!! I liked the story and characters, but an editor really needs to go through and edit the book not only for misspellings, but also the author gives the main characters of Claire two different ages and also two different ages for the other main character, Blake.
Otherwise the book was a decent romance read.

I really enjoyed this book. It was an easy going read. A really cute love story and the chracters was easy to like. Claire was a bit irritating. She was such a coward at times and you just wanted to shake her!
It was an enjoyable and quick read that was easy to like

Free iBook. Not sure how I feel about this one. It had great potential but fell short. It was all too rushed to be "believable" even for a book. I did like how she was able to learn about herself in it though.
February 1, 2014
I felt like this started out as a standard romance novel. It then suddenly took a turn when Claire decided to lie to Blake and trick him into getting her pregnant. Then it turned back into your standard romance novel, where everything turns out happily ever after.

Let's face it; when you choose a romance story, you aren't looking for a challenging read. It started out fine, but that changed quickly. The characters are the biggest problem in the story. Blake is more upstanding citizen than bad boy. Claire can't decide on a personality; she tried on many.
