I liked “Fractured Jewel” as it explored the arrival of new Martian emigrants to town, her family’s reception of her role as Mars’ Sovereign, and the ongoing struggle to have M’s relationship with Rigel accepted, but wished it had been longer. Her books (so far) include sweet and spicy historical romance, time travel romance, and young adult science fiction romance. Fast-paced as M and Rigel’s secret power diverts another crisis, the plot flows smoothly to an explosive confrontation near the end. Brenda Hiatt is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of more than two dozen novels of sparkling romantic adventure. Hoping that her relationship with Rigel will be accepted after he helps her put down the Grentl attack, it becomes apparent that there are still hostile feelings towards him after the Council sends out a statement that doesn’t include his part in the ordeal and his family receives threatening notes.Ĭentering around themes of friendship, romance and family the plot heats up with her Uncle Louie’s bragging to friends at a bar that sparks an attack on M and her Aunt Theresa. Orphaned as an infant and reluctantly raised by an overly-strict aunt, she’s not even sure who she is. Readers who enjoyed Starstruck by Brenda Hiatt also liked the following books featuring the same tropes, story themes, relationship dynamics and character. “Fractured Jewel” the well-written but short novella in the “Starstruck” series opens with the truth about M’s past and her role in saving the Earth being shared with her Aunt Theresa, as well as the development of a company on farmland around Jewel that brings several new Martian emigrant families to the small community. Interview: Starstruck by Brenda Hiatt Nerdy astronomy geek Marsha, M to her few friends, has never been anybody special.
