    Beth Vogt is a consummate story-teller. I lost myself in her characters, the setting and the story. Kendall's issues with her mom really hit home and I fell in love with Griffin, the hero. Even Kendall's receptionist, Evie, and her adopted son, Javan, broke my heart. Vogt pulls all these compelling characters together in a truly satisfying happily-ever-after. Sigh.

    Many thanks to Howard Books for providing a copy in exchange for my honest opinion. But I still ordered another copy to give to my friend because I marked up mine. That's how much I loved this book.

    The story of Dr. Kendall Haynes, and Air Force pilot Griffin Walker, grabs you and never lets go !

    I'm a guy whose wife is an author, who often hands me a book and says "Read this".

    Often these books are enjoyable, but "Catch a Falling Star" made me miss at least one meal, stay up late, and hurry through my chores so I could get back to reading !

    Just as in her first book "Wish You Were Here" Beth Vogt tells a modern day story of two people dealing with disappointment, missed opportunities, and regrets that create obstacles to fulfilling relationships with others and God .

    I enjoyed the way the story was set in Colorado Springs with real locations. in addition, Beth did a good job of showing the challenges a pediatrician faces, and the mindset and dedication of a military pilot as well.

    Finally, in "Catch a Falling A Star", just as in "Wish You Were Here" , Vogt does an excellent job of portraying how a real guy thinks, talks, and relates to others in his life. It's rare to see men portrayed as flesh and blood characters who love, laugh, sin, struggle, and try to do whats right.

    For this reason alone I've recommended her books to several other people.

    Is life about accomplishing plans . . . or wishes coming true . . . or something more?

    Dr. Kendall Haynes's plans to have it all–a career, a husband, a family–are eluding her. Now that she's thirty-six, she needs to stop wishing upon a star and face reality: Some dreams just never come true.

    Air Force pilot Griffin Walker prefers flying solo in the air and on the ground–until a dangerous choice ejects him from the cockpit. His life becomes even more complicated after the sudden death of his parents makes him the guardian of his sixteen-year-old brother. There's no way his life will ever get back on course now.

    When their lives collide during a near tragedy, Kendall and Griffin must decide if they can embrace the unexpected changes God has waiting for them.

    CATCH A FALLING STAR is Ms. Vogt's second novel. I thoroughly loved her debut novel, Wish You Were Here so I was anxious to read this one. This book wasn't quite so exciting as the debut, but it was still good.

    I didn't exactly connect to the characters the way I wanted, but the story was filled with enough conflict I had to keep reading to see how they resolved their issues. Kendall and Griffin both wanted totally opposite things in life–so it was interesting seeing which one would give the most.

    If you like contemporary romance and can't get enough of it, then CATCH A FALLING STAR is a great book to choice. Discussion questions are included at the end of the book.

    I'd never read any of Beth Vogt's book before this one, but now, after reading To Catch a Falling Star, she is a favorite author of mine.

    Kendall Haynes is a 36 year old doctor in Colorado Spring, CO. Eating out with her friends one evening, she notices a young teenager choking after eating something he was allergic to. She administers treatment to him and meets his much older brother, Griffin Walker.

    Griffin is an Air Force pilot who's been taking off duty because of vertigo, and now he's been saddled with his adopted brother after both his parents are killed in an accident.

    Both Kendall and Griffin has issues in their lives that they have been struggling with, pain in their lives that just won't seem to go away. Their lives have not gone like they planned and now at their ages, 36 and 38, they don't know which route to take.

    God has plans for all His children, but how many times do we want to go our own way instead of allowing Him to take the lead? This book explores that premise.

    I laughed out loud, I bawled and I rejoice during the reading of this book. It blessed me so very much and I can't wait to read more of this author's books. I am a forever fan now. Do yourself a favor and get this book.

    I was provided with a copy of this book for free, which is no way influenced my review.

    A delightful tale

    Kendall Haynes is a successful family doctor most especially helping kids with severe allergies. But at thirty-six she thought she would have not only her career but a husband and kids as well. Her life isn't turning out like the fairy-tales her grandmother used to read her. She knows God has a plan for her but she just can't figure out what that is. She's growing tired of the 'wish-I-may-wish-I-might' dreams. Griffin Walker is an Air Force pilot whose been grounded because of health. On top of that, he finds himself guardian of his teenage brother, Ian, because of the death of their parents. Griffin is overwhelmed with all that's going on in his life. To make matters worse, Griffin finds himself intrigued by the good Dr. Kendall. She's strong yet tenderhearted and different from any other woman he's ever known. But he sure isn't looking for love. He's planning on remaining single. Will Griffin and Kendall both learn that they may plan their way, but the Lord directs their steps.

    What do you do when your life isn't what you thought it would be? The author does a wonderful job of exploring that question in Catch a Falling Star. The title and the cover are great and perfectly depict the essence of the story. You are drawn into this delightful tale from the very first page and it holds you there until you find out how it ends. And I've got to tell you, it had an ending that I absolutely adored! You'll meet lots of great characters who will stay with you long after you close the book. I thoroughly enjoy Beth Vogt's writing style. It's clean and fresh like a springtime morning. I appreciated the reminder that sometimes we need to let go of what 'we' want to see what 'God' has for us. That's not always easy. So, grab a cup of coffee, have a seat on the back porch and Catch a Falling Star! You'll be glad you did!
