My cheeks heat under the delicious scrutiny of his bold, vivid green irises, but I don't dar look away. If he wants to call me out, let him. I'd love to hear the words leave his lips. I'd love to hear him ask me if I was checking him out.
Will I confess if he asks? Doubtful. Not because I'm scared of Oliver knowing how I feel about him. More like it'd do neither of us any good for me to share my truth.

Blurb:
From the start, all I wanted was you. From the start, little did I know, you wanted me too.
An underlying current has always existed between us. An undeniable bond that keeps me tethered to my best friend. My person.
The man I have loved in secret for years.
I've wanted to tell him how I feel. Countless times, I've considered crossing the line but have resisted.
I'd rather love him in secret than lose him forever.
Over the years, we've avoided relationship conversations. Kept our rendezvous to ourselves.
But now, the subject is inescapable.
As his family pressures him to find a suitable match, he concocts a plan to appease them. Fake date the wealthy woman his parents set him up with… who happens to be in love with someone else.
When he relays the news, my hurt is written all over my face. Over and over, he promises me it's not real.
Regardless, seeing them together twists my insides.
…until he pins me against my car and shows me where his heart truly lies.
As our love story begins, one test after another is thrown at us. As we fall deeper in love, our world becomes a living, breathing nightmare.
My 5*Review:
Fallen Stars is book three in the Stone Bay series by Persephone Autumn. We've had the girls stories, now we get the emotional and heartbreaking MM romance between Oliver Moss and Levi West. It is a beautifully written friends to lovers, opposites attract love story that will make you swoon one minute and cry the next. Be prepared to feel everything these guys go through as you follow them on their journey. The anguish and pain, hope and love, desperation and desolation, family drama and friendship. There are some traumatic and dark subject matters covered so please read the trigger warnings. This story made me want to climb into the book and hug the main characters to reassure them it will be right in the end!!
"I'd live forever in the dark to keep you at my side. My best kept secret. My reason. My life."
Oliver has loving parents, fantastic friends and is proud to be gay. He is adorable and funny but suffers from his unrequited love for his best friend Levi. He plays the drums in Hailey's Fire and writes songs about Levi but can never tell him his true feelings. He is scared he'd risk their friendship and ruin the strong connection they have. He has loved him in secret for years because he'd rather have Levi as his friend than not at all. Levi occasionally gives him signs he might feel the same but Oliver won't get his hopes up.
Levi is extremely intelligent and a wiz on computers. With his other friend Tymber, they own Tymber Woulf Security and Investigative Services. He is a complex guy who wants to live his life by his own rules and choose his own future. His father constantly reminds him of his obligations to his family and tries to control him. He has hidden his love for Oliver for years due to the severe repercussions for admitting his sexuality.
Can either be brave enough to surrender to the desires they have hidden for so long. I was so happy it wasn't as unrequited as Oliver thought but it was heartbreaking how these two couldn't find a way to be together.
When Levi's family interfere and he has to take some drastic action with a fake relationship, my heart went out to Oliver and I felt all the hurt and pain he did. Thankfully it produces a light bulb moment for Levi and everything changes but will he ever find the courage to embrace who he is and show everyone who he really is.
Levi is stressed with all the secrets he is having to keep. The fake dating and now his relationship with Oliver. His new case is confidential so he can't tell anyone how he's struggling with what he is finding. It builds and builds as he battles everything going on in his life until it suddenly turns quite dark. There is a great plot twist which leads to some emotional and heartbreaking chapters before this couple get their HEA.
It was great catching up with Kirsten, Skylar and Delilah, and their partners Lawrence, Travis and Phoebe. They were all so supportive and understanding. Oliver was an absolute star throughout and I thought his lyrics and journal entries were amazing.
This author just keeps getting better and better, creating wonderful characters and producing stories which have captivated and enthralled me.
