I really love this series. Jackson and London’s chemistry is on fire as well as their banter. I enjoyed how they developed a friendship and how that evolves into something more. This one will grab you from the beginning and have you rooting for the until the end.

London and her sisters run the family-owned Spark house. Things are looking up for their business, which might seem like a good thing, but the sisters are already spread thin. London can barely find the time to fulfill the orders for her Etsy shop because there aren't enough hours in the day. But this new deal brings Jackson, and he's something pretty special. But dating would add a whole new layer that requires her time, which she just doesn't have.

I didn't read book one, but I don't feel like I missed out on anything. In fact, I'm glad I didn't because I didn't like Avery and cannot picture an entire book that puts her as the main character. But aside from Avery, the rest of the characters work well together. I really liked Jackson and how he brought out the best in London. Overall, this is a quick and easy read with close-knit sisters who only want the best for each other. Thank you, St. Martin's, for sending this along.

The Spark House sisters are finding their footing even more in this second book than in the first.

Avery, London and Harley Spark are not only sisters but full time third generation business owners and partners running a unique venue event hotel, The Spark House.

This time London takes her turn at not only making a bigger success of their family business but also finding love for herself as well with an almost perfect man.

Since last time I met these very talented women the oldest sister Avery has started planning her wedding to Declan, long time best friend and finally realized love of her life.

This has resulted in middle sister London taking on more and more of hands on client relationship aspect work rather than her more comfortable role as main person coming up with the creations used during events.

Not only that but thanks to a new client the business itself has started taking off in a big way.

As work load increases London finds herself in the midst of an unexpected romance at which time conflict with her sisters ensues which makes her life even more stressful.

Work and love London learns make life pretty hectic, even more than usual, especially while trying to balance both.

With one thing and another it can honestly be said book two combines perfect examples of why working closely with family has to be harder, and also easier than working with people you are not related to.

Add that with a very nicely setup and executed combination showing day to day workings of what it takes to make Spark House special along with a nice relationship angle for London, that of course has its own added complications, and book two takes the series to its next level.

Can hardly wait for what is in store for the future of this series and hopefully Harleys chance at love.

Low-angst romance with a side of chick-lit

I loved the first story in this series of standalone romances, but this second one doesn't quite measure up. It's more of a chick-lit story of the three sisters who are running their family's boutique hotel and event venue; middle sister London's budding relationship with media mogul Jackson was very sweet and expectedly steamy, but it definitely took a back seat to the sisters' interactions as they struggle to find their own work/life balance while the business is growing by leaps and bounds.

It was nice to see Avery and Declan again, though I was a little put off by the change in Avery's personality that saw her providing most of the external conflict for her sister, London. The solution was too long in coming; the showdown could have (and should have) been addressed much earlier but was saved in order to coincide with the resolution of the romance.

London's relationship with Jackson started off as friends who worked together, transitioning to a deeply emotional romance just as soon as it was appropriate. The "breakup before the makeup" felt a little contrived, as the reasons for the breakup were superficial at best, relying entirely on the word of a third party whose own motives weren't even slightly hidden. The course of true love never did run smooth, but in this case neither London nor Jackson wanted to pursue a reconciliation until this third party came forward with a different attitude. One should have had enough faith in the other to talk things out rather than letting the third party blow it all up before putting it all back together again. Makes it kinda hard to believe in the strength of their feelings for each other if they're both willing to let the third party have the final say.

We do get a nice HEA for London and Jackson as well as for the three sisters and their working relationships. I loved being able to "attend" Avery and Declan's wedding, and I really appreciated getting to know Harley a lot better in this book. I hope her story is next. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

I want to like this book more than I do. And I will probably read the next one in the series because I am invested in these 3 sisters. I love their relationship and the way they support each other and have each other's backs. This book is fast-paced, with a mix of fun plot points and serious issues being addressed. However, just like in the first book, I am disappointed in the hero.
-SPOILERS-
While he attempted to draw a line because of their working relationship, he didn't stick to it. Therefore a power dynamic was in play, and he used his power without even realizing he did so. No woman has to agree to go anywhere with a man. Not even if it's a surprise. Not even on a private jet to an amazing business opportunity halfway across the country. Not even if her sisters were in on the plan. Even though in the end she agreed to it - just no. In addition, when a woman breaks up with a man and requests that he not contact her, it is not romantic for him to send gift after gift after gift. To declare that he will not give up until she comes back to him. This storyline is not romantic anymore. It's what happens when a woman is harassed, threatened, gaslit, and stalked. Love means you do what's best for the other person, not what's best for you. In the end, our 2 lovers get their HEA, I just wish it had come about with more equality in the relationship. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the eARC to read and review.

I loved London's story! The chemistry and build up was perfect. The sisters' relationship was so real - coming from 1 of 3 girls myself, I could totally relate! Can't wait for Harley's story next!

Thanks to NetGalley and publisher for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

I thought I enjoyed Avery’s story last year, but to me nothing stood out about Starry-eyed love. It was just a basic romance story that felt bland and lacked chemistry between the characters. But if you need something quick and easy to read, it will get the job done.

This is a great continuation of the Spark sisters' stories. Last book was focused on Avery & this one is about London. London is currently working in a role for Spark House that doesn't fit her strengths but it's the one that was left for her to take on while her sisters fulfilled roles made for them. She is a bit frustrated & wants to focus on creative aspects rather than business ones. Also, she is intrigued when she meets Jackson Holt (for the second time, the first being at a bar where he asked her out & she said no) & wants time to see if there is anything to the sparks flying between them. This book is well worth picking up & not getting sleep because you won't want to put it down. I look forward to Harley's story.

“Sometimes we have to make sacrifices for the people we love.”

Starry Eyed Love is the second book in the Spark House series and revolves around London and Jackson. This workplace romance was such a charming addition to this series. The character development was superb and I really felt like I got to know the characters.

London was a workaholic who was always afraid of disappointing her sisters so she never took a moment for herself. She was all work and no play. Jackson is instantly drawn to her when he spots her in a restaurant, but she declines his advances. When their paths cross again, Jackson is determined to grab ahold of this second chance to get to know London.

“I’ve never had someone to look at me the way Jackson is right now.”

This was truly a slow burn romance, but it allowed Jackson and London to really get to know each other. Their bond blossomed through the time they spent together and the chemistry that simmered below the surface added to their working relationship.

“There’s nothing ordinary about you, London.”

I loved how Jackson encouraged London to begin living for herself and to find balance in her life. He helped push her out of her comfort zone but was also a soft place for her to land. London was also a positive influence in Jackson’s life and caused him to realize what he truly wanted out of life.

I’m enjoying this series and these sisters so much. Full of heart, humor, and heat, this story was so much fun and delightfully entertaining and I can’t wait for Harley’s story.

I really enjoyed this book. London and Jackson were really interesting characters and their romance was fun (until it wasn't of course). Helena Hunting always gives her characters a rough patch. The one thing that really bothered me was Avery's character in this book. She was such a buttface in this book. To the point where I think it has ruined her book for me. I will read the next book though. Harley is pretty much the best sister so I am waiting impatiently.

This is the second book in the Spark House series about three sisters: Avery, London, and Harley. I had a little problem with book one and Avery and Declan's relationship which kept me from really enjoying it. I'm happy to say that London and Jackson Holt's story worked so much better for me. From the cute opening where Jackson asks London out and she turns him down to months later and him reappearing in her business life, this was so enjoyable.

This is a slow burn romance since they are in a business relationship together. They don't even kiss until 65% into the book. Besides the blossoming relationship between London and Jackson, I really enjoyed the sister relationship in this story and the drama that goes with it. Avery is trying to plan her wedding to Declan AND manage Spark House with just the three of them. It's just too much for all of the sisters.

This did start out just a tad too slow for me. There was a lot of business talk between Jackson and London with him showing how "green" he and his company is. I sorta skimmed a bit. Get to the romance!

Thank you to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for my advance readers copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I loved When Sparks Fly and was very excited to get more from the Spark Sisters when I picked up Starry-Eyed Love. Book 2 is London’s story and it starts with London out with her sisters after just being dumped. When an attractive man approaches her she turns him down, never expecting to run into him a few months later at a meeting with a multi-million-dollar company she wants to partner with. Even more surprising, he’s the CEO of that company. As they spend more time together, the lines become blurry between work and a more personal relationship.

First of all, I love the family relationships in this series. The Spark sisters and seeing them run their business together is so fun. Their interactions and their issues are so realistic, but also the way they support each other is so great.

In this particular book I adored London. She is such a relatable main character. Her romance with Jackson was also fun to watch develop. I particularly loved how they communicated through a Google Doc at the beginning. I enjoyed seeing them navigate their business relationship along with their feelings, and really enjoyed seeing London’s success in her business!

I switched between audio and ebook on this one, and LOVED the audiobook which was narrated by Jason Clarke and Stella Bloom. Both narrators were phenomenal, but I particularly loved Jason’s voice, I thought he was perfect for Jackson!

Thank you to SMP Romance, Macmillan Audio, and NetGalley for the advanced copies.

Helena Hunting writes one heck of a novel, and “Starry-Eyed love”, her newest in the Spark House series is no exception. She has an understated ability to write binge-worthy novels and readers won’t know what hit them.

The Beginning
In “When Sparks Fly” we met the Spark sisters and followed along with oldest sister Avery as she navigates a new side of her relationship with her roommate, Declan. Best friends since college, Avery and Declan were each other’s person, but after Avery has an accident, their relationship moves further from roommate and best friend to Friends With Benefits.

All’s well that ends well in book 1, with the promise that each subsequent book will focus on another sister. (Check out Amanda’s five star review of When Sparks Fly here!)

London’s story

I wish someone would offer to take me on a hot air balloon date. I could seriously see myself reenacting the scene from The Ugly Truth, especially if my date looked like Katherine Heigl or Gerard Butler. Either one. I’m not picky.
During a night out with her sisters, after a not-horrible break up, a handsome and bearded stranger makes eyes at her across the bar. Unable to leave without shooting his shot, the bearded stranger comes over and slips London his business card, begging to take her for dinner, drinks or a hot air balloon ride.

London politely declines, lying and saying she’s in a relationship. Not wanting to incur bad karma, he takes back his business card and hopes that they’ll run into each other again in the future, and leaves her with only, “thank you for existing.”

Swoon.

Naturally, the bearded stranger turns out to be the CEO of a company that partners small businesses with each other. His name is Jackson Holt and while he’s the head honcho and probably has minions to deal with London, he remembers her from that night in the bar and makes it his first priority to partner with her in their mutually beneficial business endeavors.

Helena Hunting’s novels range from sports romance with major steam to sweet and contemporary rom-coms. She is one of those authors who I know provides an enjoyable reading experience no matter which title I pick up. I jumped at the chance to read ‘Starry-Eyed Love’ and if I’m being honest I’m going to continue to jump for her future releases, too. Hunting is a reliable author in that I know what I can expect from her stories, but she’s not predictable, either. I can expect a laugh, a swoon, and some blood rushing to my… cheeks.

Thoughts
When I sat down to write my thoughts on paper about this book, it turned out to be a pro/con list with the good majorly outweighing the bad. Hunting gives excellent depth to the Spark sisters, who we’ve already started to love through the first book in the series. The sisters’ interactions are some of my favorite scenes, especially with Avery, as seeing her again was like a little treat. I also delighted in the fact that London and Jackson acknowledge that they have to work together and keep their relationship platonic, but they end up building a relationship through their shared Google Doc. Nerd love is the best.

The one small criticism that I’d mention about this novel is that the dialogue between London and Jackson at times felt really disjointed and unnatural. The words were correct. They made sense in the sentence, but sometimes they didn’t quite feel like the way someone would typically speak in everyday life. That being said, the dialogue wasn’t a deterrent.

Overall Opinion
‘Starry-Eyed Love’ is a little bit nerdy, a little bit sweet, and a whole lot of slow burn. Adding the developing family dynamics and the budding relationship between business associates, the drama and tension is real.

You’re not going to want to miss this one.

London and Jackson’s story was a sweet slow burn romance. While out with her sisters after breaking up with her boyfriend London is approached and asked out on a date. She turns him down not ready to date again. London and her sisters run their family bed and breakfast. They are approached by a huge firm wanting to collaborate. While in the meeting the ceo Jackson steps in and as the meeting continues London realizes that he is the same guy who asked her out a few months previously. They start a working relationship. But Jackson isn’t willing to ask London out until they get through their big event they are working on together. With that being a ways out that turns out harder for Jackson to do then he thought. While London is getting whiplash from Jackson’s actions and doesn’t know where he stands. This was a sweet low angst read.

This was a good sequel to the first book! I enjoyed the romance and the continuation of the sister's hotel dilemmas.

Starry-Eyed Love is the second book in the Spark House series by Helena Hunting. The Spark House is a family owned hotel run by the three Spark sisters.

London, the middle sister, recently broke up with her boyfriend and is out with her sisters when she is approached by a handsome stranger. The handsome stranger has too smooth of lines and London refused to take his phone number.

Fast-forward a few months, the Spark House has been invited to make a proposal to a multi-million dollar business for a potential partnership. As the business administrator of the event hotel, London is mid presentation when the handsome stranger from before walks in and sits down. London comes to find out this man, who she rejected months earlier, is the owner of the multi-million dollar business.

3.5 stars rounded up to 4.

4.5 stars
London Spark is a busy woman. She owns and runs Spark House with her two sisters and deals with business, financials, and creative aspects while also trying to keep up with her side hustle of her Etsy store. She is anxious, organized, overwhelmed, and burning out.

Jackson Holt felt a spark with her the first time he laid eyes on her. And the second time was unexpected, so he dove headfirst into a business opportunity with her only realizing in retrospect that it will allow him to spend time with her but it would be totally inappropriate to date her as a business associate. He is a charismatic, altruistic, wealthy CEO and work-a-holic who is not emotionally available.

They are two people wildly attracted to each other who actually connect on a deeper level, but have to try to keep their true feelings hidden in order to be professionals. Jackson's company and networking can help make all of her and her sisters' dreams come true for Spark House so they can't make mistakes that could set them back.

This is a witty, passionate, forbidden-due-to-circumstances romance. London and Jackson are so perfect together. They tend to both be more serious and work-oriented, but they bring out the fun and challenge the other. He is a rich and successful man but does not come off as a bossy alpha hero. He is charming, thoughtful, kind, supportive, generous, and vulnerable regarding relationships. And she puts on a strong front but is also self-sacrificing and full of self-doubt. They complement and need each other in ways that are scary to them. There is some drama and angst, but overall if it is a swoony love story between two people who truly work well together in all aspects of life.

Her sisters are back for this one. I honestly was annoyed most of the time with Avery from the first book. She was a hot mess during this one and caused some of the issues for her sisters with her selfish behavior. I still love Avery's fiance' Declan, and am looking forward to seeing who younger sister Harley might be paired with.

The Spark sisters are back and this time it is London's chance to get her HEA.

London meets Jackson Holt, CEO of Holt Media and Consulting, as she's making a pitch to align her family business, the Spark House, with his empire. But it is not the first time they've met. That actually was the night Jackson asked her out two months prior . . . and she turned him down.
Ouch!
It wasn't due to a lack of attraction, which has only grown now that Jackson is sans lumberjack beard. Instead, London didn't feel ready given that she was fresh off a breakup. So was this their second chance? Not so fast.

I always love a story with a smart forward-thinking woman, who doesn't have to rely on a man for her success. And the business that London and her sisters have managed with a green initiative, is something that appeals to Jackson. Instead of putting his feelings first, he decides to partner with London to help both of their businesses, and then see where things lead. So yes, in a way, Jackson is contributing to London's success, but it is clear she is still earning the work, which I admired.

The relationship between Jackson and London was basically inevitable, they just had to come to a place where it didn't jeopardize their business relationship. Something that is key when some drama comes to play. While there is some angst in this book, I really liked how it was resolved, showing a level of maturity many books miss. Overall, this installment was a sweet and sexy treat.

So now it is Hailey's turn. Having read of her endless support for her sisters through two books, she definitely deserves her own HEA and I'm looking forward to seeing it all play out.

Recently broken up with her boyfriend, London and her sisters were approached by a bearded stranger who showed interest in London. But, she shot him down. Fast forward a few months later, when the sisters’ event hotel Spark House gets invited to collaborate with a large media company that could put them on the map, and the CEO is none other than the bearded stranger from the bar—Jackson. Could their meeting be just by chance or fate? How will London and Jackson navigate their budding relationship in the public eye?

As a fan of Hunting’s standalones, I didn’t quite connect with this one as much. I didn’t really like the chemistry between London and Jackson, and Jackson reminded me so much of a very polite Christian Grey minus the complicated past and issues. While their relationship was sweet and all, the incredible amount of work details bogged me down. And, Avery’s stubbornness (even though I enjoyed WHEN SPARKS FLY a bit more) totally irked me in this one, lol. Overall, an easy romance read if you’re in the mood for an office slash millionaire slash forbidden romance.
