Blurb
Stars die in one of two ways.
So slowly that each layer burning out feels like agony … or suddenly, exploding into a million pieces before the universe even has a grasp of what is happening.
When Paxton Shaw left Demi Rosen without so much as a goodbye, he stole her shine in both manners.
Now, eight years later, he’s trying to pull her back into his orbit. The nation’s most beloved football player, a tight end with a seriously tight end, has finally realized Demi is the one who got away.
But she’s a different woman than the weak girl who used to come running whenever he called in the middle of the night. Strong, successful, her life’s mission being to grant the wishes of children whose flames have all but been extinguished.
And untouchable, as dark and cold as a midnight sky with no moon in sight.
When one special child forces their star-crossed paths to collide, it’s impossible to keep the feelings of their past buried. Paxton had been her Halley’s Comet; the once in a lifetime love that scorched Demi’s heart in the most spectacular of fashions.
She promised herself she would never make that mistake again. But, how can she forget the dreams of love she once had, when Paxton wants to make them come true?

REVIEW
Rating: 5 Groupie Stars
Another novel by Carrie Aarons...another 5 Star read for me. I always find second chance romances hit or miss and this one was a definite hit! Very little drama and a great storyline to enjoy along the way.
Demi and Paxton were....ok Paxton was a football god and Demi was his booty call. She wanted more and he just wanted to enjoy the benefits of regular action. The NFL Draft and 2 unanswered text messages cause an abrupt ending to their situation and 8 years later Demi and Paxton are reunited. Time changes everyone and Demi has become a successful woman running her own nonprofit and has a stellar reputation. Paxton is trying to make it one more season in the NFL after an injury and a trade had people speculating that he wouldn't make it at all.

Now, to get more of the story you'll just have to pick up When Stars Burn Out and read it for yourself. Carrie has done a wonderful job creating the backstory in this standalone second chance romance. There are flashbacks and the story is told in dual point of view. There are parts where you will feel disgust for Paxton and pity for Demi. You might laugh a little too but by the end, you will find yourself loving the evolution of the characters from the college-age Pax and Demi to the mature 30 somethings that manage to fall in love despite a rocky history. I really enjoyed this one from Carrie Aarons.
