Can love be measured in percentages?

After her girlfriend leaves her for a man, broken-hearted novelist Charlie Cross moves from New York to Los Angeles to work on a TV show based on her books. Charlie vows to never date any woman who isn't a hundred percent certain of being a lesbian.

When Charlie is seduced by gorgeous bisexual cooking show host Ava Castaneda, whom she's had a celebrity crush on for ages, she's forced to review her belief in percentages... because true love could very well be on the line.

Release the Stars is a contemporary lesbian romance novel set in the glitzy world of Hollywood.

★★★★★ "I loved this precious romance." - Curve Magazine

★★★★★ "The writing is just as hot as you'd expect from Harper Bliss." - The Lesbian Review

5.0 out of 5 stars Really Good!

Harper Bliss really knows how to spin the yarns! I thought it was going to be a simple celebrity romance, but it went a little deeper than that. Charlie and Ava are sizzling couple, but Charlie is still recovering from a heartbreak. Again, not as simple as an evil ex. Charlie has some self-discovery and healing to go through to be what Ava needs. And bless Ava with her patient, assertive, not-afraid-to-go-after-what-she-wants heart....sexy!!

Harper is a beautiful, emotional writer who really draws you into her stories and characters. The build up in this book between the ladies was persistent and scorching hot, but I found myself tiring of all of Charlie's insecurities and whining throughout the book. It just lingered too long for my taste. I'm sure I'm in the minority here! However, I really enjoyed Ava and the secondary characters very much. I loved the humor, the sensitivity and the frankness!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sometimes our hearts knows reasons we are not ready for, but still hit us the same…
Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2015

Another great story that captivates and brings an amalgam of emotions to those readers who can become part of the story. Release the Stars will make you laugh with the quirky comments and actions of the characters, but their broken hearts will also make you sad. I’m sure other readers will be able to identify themselves, as well as their friends, with the character influencing Charlie’s life. Who hasn’t experienced a broken heart? This book offers several opportunities to say “yeah, been there, done that”. Charlie got her heart broken by Jo, who felt she had her heart broken by Charlie, who almost broke Ava’s heart, twice! In the mean time, Charlie sabotages herself by going on a date with Josie, who instead of a broken heart gets seriously disappointed! Eric also gets his sad story- but since he pissed me off, you’ll have to read the book to get his tale… Also, who doesn’t have a gay friend that sometimes makes you wonder if he loves you or hates you instead? Or friends like Liz, who becomes the voice of reason, but always with a gentle enough perspectives? Charlie is a lucky girl who is loved by others, but broken enough to endanger the love she wants to give. In order to offer the unconditional love that will change her life, Charlie will have to learn to love herself. Happy reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars Worst Enemy
Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2020

Sometimes we are all our own worst enemy and this book handles that theme with the expert deftness with which Harper Bliss handles any story. It's a good read. Two days since I finished it and these characters are still with me, joining most of the other Harper characters. They're so likeable and relatable they stick with you. Thankfully they also "work stuff out" so you imagine lots of happy things for them.
I loved it.

Did not feel this book was a dramatic and touching as some of the others by this author. It was well written and flowed along nicely. It just didn't contain much angst or excitement. Just an ok book.

5.0 out of 5 stars You cant love someone else without first loving yourself
Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2018

I just read this book and realized I had read it a couple years ago but didn't write a review for it back then. I really liked the story, which wasn't a surprise because all HB books have been very good. I enjoyed the build up between the main characters, how patient/persistent Ava was, and the fact that Charlie did recognize her own faults and paranoia even if she didn't know how to change them. The conclusion to the story was nicely done, with Charlie getting back to being happy with herself, with help from her ex of all people, which allowed her to move forward in her relationship with Ava. Definitely read this book! You'll love the supporting cast of characters as much as the main characters.

This is my favorite Harper Bliss by far. The flawed lead is expertly written, and the epiphanies she experiences are very believable. Just enough angst to make you appreciate the happy ending. And don't we all wish for our own Ava or actually know a few men like Eric? Very worth the read.

I absolutely love everything Harper writes, that I have read to date.
The character's in the book make you want to scream and tell them to put their heads on 'straight'.
But this book spoke to me in other ways, as I could relate to Charlie and her ability to screw up new relationships because of previous experiences, just wished I could have gotten out of my own head. Thank you Harper

Release the Stars by Harper Bliss

I have just reread this book again for the fifth time if not more and just realised that i hadn't actually put into words how much i enjoyed it the first time i read it.

Charlie is coming out of the worst break ups imaginable... Not only has her girlfriend left her but she's left her for a man..... The ultimate betrayal in Charlie's eyes. As a writer she is given the opportunity to move from NY to LA and work on a TV series that is based on her books. When in LA she meets the beautiful and charismatic Ava. Ava is a television star and one that Charlie has had a major crush on for years watching her cooking show. Both woman are attracted to one another from there introduction however Ava is Bisexual and Charlie can't be with another woman who could possibly leave her again for a man...... But love always finds a way right?
If you want to know more i highly suggest you read the Novel. Not only Read the novel but clear your schedule and grab a nice bottle of vino because once you start Release the Stars you will struggle to put it down.

Once again with a Harper Bliss Novel i am left wanting more.....
