Stars die in one of two ways.
So slowly that each layer burning out feels like agony … or suddenly, exploding into a million pieces before the universe even has a grasp of what is happening.
When Paxton Shaw left Demi Rosen without so much as a goodbye, he stole her shine in both manners.
Now, eight years later, he’s trying to pull her back into his orbit. The nation’s most beloved football player, a tight end with a seriously tight end, has finally realized Demi is the one who got away.
But she’s a different woman than the weak girl who used to come running whenever he called in the middle of the night. Strong, successful, her life’s mission being to grant the wishes of children whose flames have all but been extinguished.
And untouchable, as dark and cold as a midnight sky with no moon in sight.
When one special child forces their star-crossed paths to collide, it’s impossible to keep the feelings of their past buried. Paxton had been her Halley’s Comet; the once in a lifetime love that scorched Demi’s heart in the most spectacular of fashions.
She promised herself she would never make that mistake again. But, how can she forget the dreams of love she once had, when Paxton wants to make them come true?

Review
When Stars Burn Out is a fabulous tale of second chance romance. Paxton and Demi's journey is full of heavy emotions, a lasting love, and forgiveness. More than that it's the story of a man who's discovered what he wants in life and what he's missed out o, a man who wants to make things right, not just for himself.
When Paxton left Demi years ago, he did it abruptly, without care but he's never forgotten her nor what he did. He never expected to cross paths with her again, never expected to see the hurt in her eyes, to know how deeply he scarred her with his past actions. Now that he's grown and changed his ways, he's realized what he missed out on in leaving her behind and he wants a second chance. He's determined to prove how he's changed and how worthy he is at winning her heart again.
Demi knows what a broken heart is, she knows the many causes of such, and it's not always just the a man leaving you. In fact, she's centered her whole life around heart breaking things - or doing her best to ease them. Demi works with sick children - the ones who are hopeless, the ones who may not live long - and in her work, she hopes to give them amazing memories, to ease their path in some way and allow their families the support lended by herself and those she pulls in to cover wishes. When her work forces her back in the life of Paxton, she's not sure how to react - what she saw as continuous rejection has jaded her.
This story really socked me in the feels, pulling me not only into the relationship, both past and present, of Paxton and Demi, but also into their individual characters. With each scene detailing Demi's work, my heart was involved and I fell in love with the heart of this characer and I wanted so deeply for her to find her own happiness. I wanted for Paxton to win her over and give her the love she deserves.
