Review: When Sparks Fly

✩✩✩

Avery Spark is living her best life. Between her friends, her sisters, and Spark House, the event hotel her family owns, she doesn’t have much time for anything else, especially relationships. She’d rather hang out with her best friend and roommate, Declan McCormick, than deal with the dating scene. But everything changes when she is in a car accident and needs someone to care for her as she heals.

Declan avoids relationships, giving him a playboy reputation that he lives up to when he puts a one-night stand ahead of a promise he made to Avery. While he may not have been the one driving the car, he feels responsible for Avery’s injuries and is determined to make it up to her by stepping into the role of caretaker.

Little did they know that the more time they spend in compromising positions, the attraction they’ve been refusing to acknowledge becomes impossible to ignore. When they finally give in to the spark between them, neither is prepared for the consequences. Their love is fragile and all it will take is a blow from the past to shatter it all.

Review: I was a bit disappointed with When Sparks Fly. The first part of the book was more or less ok. Declan helping Avery after her accident was sweet - right up to the point where he offers to help her with her sexual needs as well. The killed the story - and the romance - for me. I knew they would eventually get involved, but I didn't expect that clinically made decision, as if it were just another medical need of her being addressed.

From then onwards I lost interest in the story which is sad because, all things considered, I think the ending was rather good. But the romance had lost its spark (pass the pun) by then. Three stars.  

 

Happy readings!
