Recently, IW’s Samantha had an interview with Margaret Hastings-James, the author of the fun and romantic “Star Crossed.” We have decided to make this our next selection of the IW book club and hope you will join us in reading this entertaining and adventurous book!
Here is a brief recap of the plot:
The only complicated things in Teddy’s life are cocktails…until Nick Chandler is added to the mix. Left at the altar, Teddy Richmond goes on her honeymoon alone to an exclusive Greek island resort. After a week of revenge-induced spending, the phantom groom cancels her credit card and Teddy moves out of the bridal suite into a room at the back of the hotel. When her retirement savings run out, Teddy decides to stay in Greece and rebuild a perfect life in which she has no responsibilities, no commitments, no heartbreak. Teddy rents a room with a view from a crabby old Greek woman and finds a job in a local taverna. She hangs out with her coworker, Chloe, the owner’s American-Greek niece who loves celebrity gossip and complicated cocktails. Life is just the way Teddy wants it…until Nick Chandler arrives with his kids. All of a sudden, life becomes complicated, committed and downright scary.
Star Crossed is the Bronze Winner of the 2009 Independent Publisher (IPPY) Award for Best Romance!!
Please join us in reading. Book club questions will be posted soon. As always, this selection is available from the IW Bookstore.

This sounds like a great book. Are you ordering it from your local book stores?
Started reading yesterday.
I’ve started it too. So far, a good, light read.
So, has anyone but me finished it yet?
I finished today.
I better get going Paula. I will read some more tonight.
You guys are quick.
I am about 1/2 through.
I want to throttle the teenage daughter!
Star Crossed was inviting, captivating and effortless to read. It’s one of these books that are a breath of fresh air to let in.
Teddy was imperfect but likable and I found that I could identify with her many times throughout the book.
The characters that I seemed to get wrapped up in the most were Teddy and Nick’s kids, Sam and Josh.
