Sunrise Over Apollotia (Starlight Dreamers, #2) / Starlight Dreamers (ePub)

Having settled into her new life on planet Aida, Isla meets an energetic and bubbly girl called Millie Bright during a hard but enjoyable camp for rookie idols. While there, they get acquainted with gothic model Evangeline le Fay, and together the three girls help each other through the gruelling camp, while sparks of something beyond friendship come to the surface for two of them.

While Isla is being run ragged at her camp, Lisa takes Anise on a weekend trip to the neighbouring city of Slogh to meet some useful contacts, and for Anise to complete her minor acting role. Enjoying a day at the picturesque city's annual flower parade, they hook up with Lisa's other best friend, a high class lady from the lush colony world of Gran Manillo.

Over the same weekend as Isla and Anise are away, a directionless girl called Ema Campbell struggles with issues Isla is only too familiar with. She wants to leave home, but to do so she needs a job, and her overbearing mother isn't making life any easier for her.

But when Ema's best friend Jun takes her to see Cassiopeia Luna's latest live event, an old love is rekindled in her stoic heart, and a chance meeting with Isla sends Ema's life careening down a new path. Now she just needs to ensure her idol-hating mother doesn't discover this exciting new direction...

This series will appeal to fans of slice of life shows, Japanese idol lovers, and anyone in search of low-conflict, feel-good stories where cute lesbian relationships are developed alongside the girls' professional lives as inspirational idols. This is an ensemble cast story and all major characters are between 18-23 years old.

Heat Level: The entire Starlight Dreamers series can be considered erotic romance in that it features descriptive sex, but always as a result of story, and rarely more than 5-10% of each book. They are sometimes quite spicy, however.
