A romance at sea, a romance at land, but a romance that never really blooms before the end. Oh people, you got issues.
May is hiding something, little by little we do get what she is hiding and from whom. And then she gets on the boat with Bill and can't help it, she fancies him.
Bill, I mean he was nice and all. But I do think he jumped to conclusions way too fast, and way too much. Itwas like, do not give him any more chances! I did want them together, I just wished he had talked to her before accusing her or walking away. Men! Yes they are idiots aren't they?
This is book two in a series, but trust me, you can read it as a stand alone. It's about two people meeting, slowly falling in love and learning to trust each other. She has baggage, he does not know what to think.
A romance that builds. And romance should take time, and not be rushed.

What a wonderful book this was to get stuck into. I love the books that Choc Lit publish and this was another one to add to my growing love of their books. I also need to express my love for this cover! It's so striking; the colours really stand out and I want to be where the girl on the front is looking at that star. This is the second book in the Little Spitmarsh series, but like I have done, you do not need to read the first book to enjoy this.
Follow a Star centers around May Starling who responds to a crew-wanted ad to help to deliver a boat to Little Spitmarsh. We are aware that May is trying to escape from something so there is a little mystery surrounding this as she makes the journey aboard the Lucille.
This story had a great abundance of characters and a great love interest, although I did want to knock Bill Blythe on the head sometimes with his constant judgements and assumptions of May! I particularly had a fondness for Harry who you meet later in the book and has made me want to read their story in Turning The Tide. I also thought the villain of this story was brilliantly developed, a truly loathsome character that really added to the plot development.
I loved how Christine really managed to transport me onboard the Lucille and out to sea. I very rarely go on boats in real life and yet reading this it really was like I was there. I also have a real hankering to go somewhere like Little Spitmarsh (if only it was a real place). It just sounded so idyllic.
A wonderful story to really get lost in. I am looking forward to going back to Little Spitmarsh.
