The Stars We Steal

by Alexa Donne

A gripping story of a young girl's quest to save her family from ruin set in a dazzling world of royal intrigue and lost love. Perfect for fans of Katharine McGee and Kiera Cass.

Engagement season is in the air. Eighteen-year-old Princess Leonie “Leo” Kolburg, heir to a faded European spaceship, has only one thing on her mind: which lucky bachelor can save her family from financial ruin?

But when Leo’s childhood friend and first love, Elliot, returns as the captain of a successful whiskey ship, everything changes. Elliot was the one who got away, the boy Leo’s family deemed to be unsuitable for marriage. Now he’s the biggest catch of the season and he seems determined to make Leo’s life miserable. But old habits die hard, and as Leo navigates the glittering balls of the Valg Season, she finds herself falling for her first love in a game of love, lies, and past regrets.

- Quick read.
- Really fun and enjoyable. Definitely felt like The Bachelorette in space or something.
- Interesting plot.
- Great mix of characters.
- Ace rep — I loved it.
- My only complaint is that the end was a little rushed for me in some places. There were a few plot points that I would have liked to see wrapped up differently, or at least had more time closing them up. There were a few things that felt significant but in the end, I don't even really know what happened to them.
