Starry-Eyed Love by Helena Hunting | Book 2 (Spark House Series)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
As I started this book, I got a feel of a cross between how the main characters met in Fifty Shades Of Grey and The American President. That wonderful "spark" that flares between characters upon a first meeting — and although the "power balance" might appear off — the strong female lead confidently steps into her own… Sometimes even surprising herself in the process.
Loved the story... Loved the characters... Loved it, loved it, loved it!
If you read Book 1 of this series, When Sparks Fly, expect sister number two of the Spark Sisters Trio to take the focus in Book 2. But, as the focus shifts amongst the sisters, we still learn more about each sister as the storyline continues to support a strong sister dynamic. Both professionally (as they run a business together) and as they try to balance their own personal interests as well.
And... I am very happy to report... it also supports a strong sisterhood dynamic amongst women overall. Without giving away any spoilers, I will just say that I am always a big fan of stories that encourage women to treat each other with the highest respect and with integrity.
For the record, ladies... It is absolutely stunning whenever we draw the line at any action that diminishes each other as sisters. Whether sisters by blood or simply by gender... Draw the line, ladies.
Perfect for readers looking for a book series that features strong female character leads who are discovering their strength together as sisters... and individually on their own... ✨😎✨

SYNOPSIS | BOOK 1
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.
Will it only take a blow from the past to shatter it all? And if so… both their friendship and love could be at stake…
SYNOPSIS | BOOK 2
Having just broken up with her boyfriend, London Spark is not in the mood to be hit on…
Especially not when she’s out celebrating her single status with her sisters. So when a very attractive man pays for their drinks and then slips her his number, she passes it right back to him with a ‘thanks, but no thanks’.
As the business administrator for their family’s event hotel, the Spark House, London has more important things to worry about, like bringing in new clientele.
As luck would have it, a multi-million-dollar company calls a few months later asking for a meeting to discuss a potential partnership, and London is eager to prove to her sisters, and herself, that she can land this deal.
Just when she thinks she has nailed her presentation, the company’s CEO, Jackson Holt, walks in and inserts himself into the meeting. Not only that, but he also happens to be the same guy she turned down at the bar a few months ago.
As they begin to spend more time together, their working relationship blossoms into something more. It isn’t until their professional entanglements are finally over, that London and Jackson are finally ready to take the next step in their relationship.
But between Jackson’s secretive past and London’s struggle with her sisters, London must question where she really stands - not just with Jackson, but with the Spark House, too.
