Book review: Falling Stars: The Story of Chaos & Mercy

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is one of the most unconventional love stories I have ever read.

A match made where? In the Psych Ward?
It can happen, at least for Mercy and Chaos, it might.


Dr. Chase Ostin - aka Chaos - lives for his work.
Rounds. Meds. Therapy. Paperwork. Rinse. Repeat. All day, every day.
He lives it and loves it. Especially since the arrival of the newest patient at his Psychiatric Centre - Mercy Marie Ellis. She is by far the strangest - entirely unconventional and bizarrely energetic - patient Chaos has ever come across.
Mercy is more encompassing than the night sky during a thunderstorm and chances are that her kind of wild has probably never before been chronicled. She's tiny, but it doesn’t stop her from calling on every single person around.

Despite of, or perhaps because of, her 13 years of medicated existence, Mercy doesn’t think she’s crazy. In fact, she plans to prove it, especially to her doctor, who seems to be raising all sorts of contradictory feelings within her.
'He's like a f*cking underwear model, showing off his best features and cocky as hell, and for just a split second I want nothing more than to slap his smug face and kiss it at the same time. It's a fatal attraction for me though, I always f*ck things up with my doctors, but this f*cker seems different somehow. ...'

As Chaos is concerned, let's just say the little sexy whirlwind makes it hard for him to not get hard. :D

How she ties him up in knots, I'll leave that for you to find out. But it's one hell of a tale. Mercy’s outlandish behavior is either outrageous or downright hilarious and the pint-size troublemaker is bound to twist the good doctor into knots. And then there is the doctor-patient ethic, as well as a whole load of emotion!
The heat crackling up between the two is literally eighty shades of f*cked-up. FABULOUS!

Dark humor, strong language, and spicy sex scenes, you'll find all of these within this mile-a-minute romance. But Falling Stars also deals with very sensitive issues including mental health. So it may not quite be a read for everyone.

The writing is pleasant and the tale practically unputdownable. I found myself constantly turning pages wanting to know what happens next.

Beautifully wild, complicated and full of feeling, Falling Stars is a pleasure to read.
If you're looking for a good romance that's unconventional and different, go for this one here.
