Austen battles her attraction to her new ice queen boss in this light-hearted lesbian workplace romance. Falling stars are supposed to be a lucky sign, but not for Austen. Her new job as a secretary in an international games company isn’t off to a good start. Her first assignment—decorating the Christmas tree in the lobby—results in a trip to the ER after Dee, the company’s second-in-command, gets hit by the star-shaped tree topper.Dee blames her instant attraction to Austen on her head wound, not the magic of the falling star. She’s determined not to act on it, especially since Austen has no idea that Dee is practically her boss .

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Jae is the author of twenty-three award-winning lesbian romances. She lives in the sunniest city of Germany, near the French and Swiss borders. The writing bug bit her at the age of eleven.

She used to work as a psychologist but gave up her day job in 2013 to become a full-time writer and a part-time editor. As far as she’s concerned, it’s the best job in the world.

When she’s not writing, she is an avid reader of lesbian books, indulges her ice cream and stationery addictions, and watches way too many crime shows.

F/F romance

Well, I liked pieces of it. The opening 20-30% or so was very amusing and had me the most engaged. There is a bit of a goofy and childish tone to the whole story, actually. I'm not sure if I mean that in a bad way, lol... but I have to be in a certain mood to appreciate this kind of lesfic. I associate Jae's style with innocence and virgins and unicorns and rainbows and there's a certain audience for that. Overall, I found this to be lighthearted fluff that veered into junior high dynamics.

So it's not surprising this one is set at the company Kudos Entertainment, a Fortune 500 company that produces toys for children, lol. All the employees gossip worse than junior high and they fear and despise second-in-command Ms. Dee Saunders like an evil headmistress who paddles their behind.

Enter Austen Brooks, the new administrative assistant to Dee's brother, first-in-charge. Austen doesn't know Dee at all and is soon involved in a Christmas tree mishap that has them both spending a long night together in the ER. Austen isn't bright enough not to badmouth this crazy boss lady Ms. Saunders she's already heard so much about, and Dee isn't professional enough to come clean with her actual identity.... because she's rather enjoying bossy little Austen's company and caretaking. So they bond under this 'sin of omission' and then the book goes on forever and ever trying to resolve this conflict until it's a mere nub. ack. There are cute parts and the book does move on from the initial conflict, but at nearly 400 pages, you could easily cut 100+ pages out of this book and nothing would be missed. It was much too long.

I actually enjoy most simple, easy-reading lesfic... but struggled to like or even believe in these characters (as well as their attraction). They're just not very grown up. Dee is not very boss-like. I don't think we ever got much evidence to justify her "Attila" rep. And Austen is like a bossy little girl dragging Dee around by the nose. They seem more like two dweebs who work in a pet store. Throw in Dee's man-centered sexist family and she seems that much more like a child.

meh. I think this would have been more interesting if the author just ran with the toy company and juvenile characterizations and *consciously* gave us a dose of the likes of Big (the movie)... because adults who behave like children in a company that produces toys had a lot more potential for humor here.

I was mildly engaged.

Cute Christmas Office Romance

Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2020

Verified Purchase

A cute story of an office romance that starts as an innocent attraction and then turns into forbidden love. A Christmas ornament mishap brought two women together. Only problem is one is the COO and the other is a secretary in the marketing department for the very same company. I like that both characters are just kind people who are respectful towards and protective of each other. In addition, I enjoy how throughout this story both MCs help each other through their journey of personal growth. By the end, you are convinced this couple is meant to live happily ever after. This is a slow burn romane which takes place over the course of a year. Just a few love scenes. Some cute banter which made me chuckle. Definitely a nice Christmas read, if you need to sit back this holiday season and relax to a nice book. I was excited to find Jae wrote a book which features two supporting characters. Their storyline def peaked my interest. Really like it when authors are able to nicely make some of their characters cross-over.

SO GOOD!

Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2021

This is my favorite book by Jae thus far! I started reading, and I couldn’t put it down. I started reading around 9 am this morning, and now it’s 11:49 pm. This isn’t your typical smutty lesbian romance novel. This story actually has a plot, and you can see the trials and tribulations Dee and Austen go through. The typical office story of boss and employee was given new life. I honestly felt like I was reading a Hallmark romance movie! Granted, there were some steamy scenes, so maybe not a family friendly Hallmark movie, but still! I will be reading this again soon!

Mean boss lady finds love

Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2015

Verified Purchase

Under a Falling Star can be best described as a cross between Jericho (for the slightly corny and quirky humor), and Tropical Storm (because of the tough boss and sweet co-worker-falling-in-love-scenario). I say that to mean that the premise is not very original. There are dozens of romances about the mean boss meeting her match and falling in love with the secretary/admin assistant.

Even though we're not being wowed by anything new here, there is something about Jae's writing that just feels good, when she hits the mark. This story is very light, and very basic. It's funny, kind of sexy, and leaves you with a warm and fuzzy feeling. The ending was abrupt to me, with all the issues the characters faced culminating all at once and then the resolution, and then the end. A little rushed in my opinion. You'll get maybe 2 or 3 love scenes, and some laughs. If you're looking for a nice rainy day book to pass the time, or just something easy pick this one up if you can live with the price. Not bad at all.

Now I have to say I am not surprised that I love this book being as though I personally love this author. Her writing style is just so interesting to read and she always seems to get the chemistry between the characters just right. I fell in love with the characters right away. I was so in love with this book that I couldn't put it down until the end. The tension and that nice satisfying slow build-up was amazing and on point! The personal growth and development of the characters was interesting and amazingly written. There was that traditional perfect use of occasional witty humor that I have come to love about Jae's works. There was love and passion. The bottom line is you need to give this book a try.

When love falls in your lap when you least expect it, the world can fade away...But that isn't what is portrayed in this wonderful story. This couple do their jobs, have family issues, take care of pets, and live their normal lives and discover that they are in love. It is a beautiful slow burn with a HEA.

Love it and definitely recommend! Getting the next book as well.

Les Rêveur

Another great novel from Jae

Reviewed in Australia on December 12, 2016

Verified Purchase

Accidents happen... but this accident leads to a connection nearer protagonist expects. First day of Austen’s new job and she is put to task by decorating the Christmas tree. When the tree topper falls and hit’s Dee on the head Austen doesn’t know that Dee is intact the infamous COO of the company who has the nickname Attila the Hun! But Austen gets to know the person behind the facade and begins to fall deeply for her! But how can a relationship with the boss work?

Jae writing once again was done beautifully. Great story and actually a lot of fun to read! Jae has a way of drawing you into the story and making you feel like your living it. The main protagonists Austen and Dee where realistic and true to what I imagine would be a difficult situation.

One scene I felt could have had a little more was when Austen and Dee are in the office late one night working... I felt that it had the potential of being a rather sexy scene but I wasn't to upset because it was still written beautifully and the characters had a heart felt moment.

I'll need to download Jae’s other novel conflict of interest as the main protagonists from that novel play a cameo role in under a falling star. Under a falling star is a stand-alone novel but it would be beneficial to read Conflict of interest first and let be honest it’s no hard ship to read something else by Jae.

The women and their love felt real

Reviewed in Canada on November 1, 2014

Verified Purchase

This novel is another example of Jae's exceptional storytelling skills. You've probably read this before: Dragonlady boss meets new assistant who befriends her, seeing through her hard façade. Although it sounds familiar, when Jae tells this story, it takes a life of its own. I was completely spellbound by this book. The women and their love felt real.

I always enjoy Jae books. Even if her stories are varied, they all have a je ne sais quoi in common. It must be the author's personality seeping through, which has me more than a little smitten. Being French-Canadian, I am also impressed by her mastery of English, her second language. The team at Ylva should be commended for the excellent editing.

先が気になって。。

Reviewed in Japan on July 19, 2015

この作者の作品は個人的に好みなので順番に読んでいます。
家族経営的な会社で社員の嫌われ者の役員と新しく入社したアシスタントが、ふとした事故をきっかけに交流を持つようになります。やがて二人ともお互いを意識するようになり。。。役員の女性は仕事一筋だったため、深い付き合いをした経験がありません。好きな相手の為なら社員を解雇してしまうほど一生懸命になってしまう等、かわいい一面もあります。アシスタントの女性は常識的で気が利くタイプ。ところが叔父であるCEOが交際禁止令をだし。。。普通の恋愛小説なのですが、結構はまりました。

話の半ばまでとある理由で先がどんどん読みたくなるはずです。ネタバレになるので言わないでおきますが。

この本、映画にしたら面白いだろうなあと思います。スピンオフストーリーもあるし（Conflict of Interest, Next of Kin)　合計3本は制作出来ます！
