4 out of 5 stars

Unpredictable Stars by GM Katz is an urban fantasy romance novella that grabs ahold of the reader’s heartstrings and doesn’t let go.

Dr. Mora Keneally and Dr. Owen Lang are two astrophysicists who live on opposite sides of the United States. Neither scientist has really made time or room in their hearts for love. Both wistfully wish upon a shooting star that they may find their one true love someday. Someday happens to be a chance meeting months later.

Attracted to each other from the beginning, Mora and Owen long to turn a one-night stand into a long-distance relationship and maybe something more. Forces beyond their control prevent them from seeing each other as much as they would like. Do they finally get a chance to be together in the same place at the same time for a substantial amount of time or does the universe find a way to keep them apart permanently?

Katz weaves the fantasy and mystical worlds into a romantic adventure for the ages. Her world-building and character descriptions lend to a believable story of what it means to find your soulmate even when you don’t believe that you are worthy. There were a few moments where more description would have helped round out the story a little more, but overall, a wonderful novella.
