Stranded in the Stars
High above the snowy peaks of Chamonix, a stalled cable car traps two strangers—Luca, a dedicated engineer with a heart as warm as the Italian sun, and Ali, a grieving writer seeking comfort in her grandmother’s final wish. What begins as a night of survival, warmed by shared stories and French truffles, sparks a connection neither expected. But when an elevator breakdown causes a heart-wrenching misunderstanding, Luca must chase Ali across the Alps to prove their love is worth fighting for. From the glittering shores of Lake Geneva to the bustling piazzas of Italy, their journey is a testament to fate, forgiveness, and the magic of second chances. Will they conquer the mountains and find their forever?
A heartwarming tale of love born from chaos, Stranded in the Stars will sweep you away with its vivid settings, tender romance, and the promise that sometimes the best stories begin where the path seems to end.

Excellent book
From the characters, to the story line set in magnificent locations it fast becomes a book hard to put down. Congratulations to Kelly Franklin on her first hands down five star novel.

Sooooo good!!! A perfect rom com... loved all the challenges that they had. It took a minute to lock in, but once I did I fell in love with the characters- and not just the main ones- the side characters were so likeable and relatable, but also so important in the storyline. A great debut novel :)

A delightful, breezy weekend page-turner that effortlessly captures your attention.
This is a delightful, lazy Saturday read. Ali's story made me laugh. I am looking forward to hearing Brenda's story.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Story That Stays With You
I am beyond proud to share how much I loved Stranded in the Stars by Kelly Franklin. From the very first page, this story pulled me in and took me on an unforgettable journey — one filled with heart, hope, adventure, and so much emotion. The characters are layered and real, the world-building is breathtaking, and the writing is absolutely beautiful.
But more than that, this book felt special. There were moments that made me laugh, scenes that made me tear up, and passages I went back to reread just because they were so powerful. It’s the kind of story that lingers in your mind and heart long after you finish the last page.
Knowing the incredible person behind these words makes me love it even more — but even if I didn’t, I’d still be shouting from the rooftops that Stranded in the Stars is a must-read. I’m so proud of you, Kelly, and I can’t wait for the world to discover this beautiful story you’ve created.
