I have read all of Helena Hunting’s work, but I have not enjoyed either book in this series, although for different reasons. In the first book, I hated Avery. This was confirmed in this book as well. Still hate her. But in book 2, I didn’t feel the chemistry between the two characters. This has never been a problem with HH characters; I always feel the heat.

I didn’t care for the miscommunication/lack of details over Selene, and felt London was overreacting and immature about the situation. This had me rolling my eyes quite a bit.

I think I’m ready to say goodbye to the Sparks sisters and just await HH next series/stand-alone.


I received an advanced audio and digital copy. All thoughts are my own.

This is book 2 of the Spark House series. Book 1 introduces us to the Spark's sisters Avery, London and Harley. Book 2 is London's story.
London has spent much of her adult life avoiding relationship where she could fall in love. Out with her sisters marking the end of her most recent relationship, an attractive man flirts with her, paying for their drinks & passing London his number.
A few months later life is as hectic as always for London at Spark House. When a multimillion dollar company reaches for a meeting about a potential partnership. Turns out the man from the bar is the CEO of this company. As attracted as they are to each other mixing business and pleasure is not smart. So they agree to be friends!
As they start spending time together, business related obviously! It is plain for everyone to see that London and Jackson have feelings for each other. Though neither London or Jackson seem to realise what is going on. At least not initial. When they do figure out their deal, they decide that once the event is over they will give their relationship a chance.
Jackson is secretive about his past and a lie off omission puts their fledging relationship in jeopardy. While London is struggling with finding a balance in her life, business pressure from her sisters & no time for her passions.
This is a beautfully written, slow burn romance with plenty going on around our couple to give the story body without over shadowing London & Jackson. All the characters are well developed, we even have Avery turning into a bit of a bridezilla.

I will probably be in the minority here, but I just couldn't love this, it's fun, a little over the top and a little romance with likeable cute characters everything that a contemporary romance reader and it will tick all of the boxes for any other reader and yet I couldn't get into.
It felt as though there was something missing, I can't explain what but something missing. There was passion and chemistry, laughter and fun and yet it didn't quite hit the mark which is very disappointing, maybe it's just me and when I read it I wasn't in the right mood for this story at the time? Who knows, I really wanted to love it, it honestly had all the ingredients I usually love about this genre, but it felt a little off to me.
It's a real shame, but it won't put me off reading more about this author though.

This was charming, with Gilmore Girls meets Hallmark movie meets typical billionaire romance vibes. Would recommend for poolside or picnic-side reading. It's light and fluffy, though I found the third act conflict to be overwrought and a little absurd.

Reading this made me want to read the first book about this sister trio, however, and I hope to read the inevitable book about the third sister, too!

This book was SO much better than the first in the series - I ver nearly didn’t read it because I was so disappointed with Avery’s book. However, London was much more likable than Avery (something that continued in this book!). It was better written and the plot was more fully formed than the previous. I’d recommend this to friends!

After a recent breakup, London Spark threw herself into Spark House, the boutique hotel she and her sisters Avery and Harley owned and operated. In an effort to attract new business, the sisters decided to become more eco-friendly, and towards that end, wanted to involve larger corporations as sponsors. London was presenting a pitch to a new organization, and to everyone’s surprise, the CEO, Jackson Holt, sat in on her presentation and decided to become more involved with the event planned at Spark House.

Jackson Holt wasn’t used to being turned down, and when he saw the beautiful woman who had rejected him at the bar several months earlier standing in the conference room, he just had to see what was going on. As Jackson believed in sustainability and curtailing waste, he decided to schedule an event at Spark House, in an effort to spend more time getting to know London. Soon he realized he had made an error, that becoming involved with London during the planning of the event was mixing business with his personal life, so he quickly backed off from anything romantic.

This second book in the series is easily read as a stand-alone, as the past is referenced so the reader is aware of the sisters’ circumstances. The Spark sisters might argue between themselves, but they present a united front to the world. The characters are well-developed and realistic, and I loved the loyalty and close bond of the sisters. This is a fun book to read, and I enjoyed the descriptions of the Spark House events, both the glamour of the event itself and the hard work behind the scenes.

I’m trying to catch up on my NetGalley reviews that I’m behind on, and I’m starting with this one.

I’m going to keep it simple: I’m calling it quits on Helena Hunting books now. I think this is the fifth of her books I’ve read and I’ve only really enjoyed one of them 😅.

I think this book was slightly better than the first in the series, When Sparks Fly. I found I didn’t really care about the two MCs and then there was very out of left field, third act sister drama that was unnecessary and just put me over the edge on my decision.

This is the second book in the Spark House series, but can be read as a standalone. Following the developing romance between down-to-earth London and multimillionaire CEO Jackson, this is quick and fun read. Pick this one up if you’re looking for a charming contemporary romance with a bit of humor.

Helena Hunting writes stories that just warm my heart, make me laugh, and feel joy all at once. This was a simple story that used a trope I am mush for: a millionaire sweeps the girl off her feet. Every character had heart and it was nice to revisit the Spark House world again. I am looking forward to the next book!

Helena Hunting does it again! I loved Jackson and London’s story so much. It was coworkers to lovers and I just loved how they grew together. The book had little tidbits From previous books so it was great to see characters from other series. I am so looking forward to the last book in this series!

I loved this book so much. This is the second book in the Spark House series. This book was just as good as the first one! Helena Hunting is my go to author whenever I am looking for a good romance to read. I seriously love all her books.

I love the billionaire romance trope in this book. I haven’t read many from that trope, but it was so good! I enjoyed the romance between London and Jackson. It felt very real and believable. It is a slow burn romance, but it picks up in the end! I also really liked the bond between the sisters in this book. It reminded me of my own sisters. Overall, I thought it was such a good book and I loved continuing the series. If you’re looking for just a good and easy romance book to read, I highly recommend checking this series out!

Thank you Netgalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I freaking loved this book. What a beautiful and sweet story. I honestly have never gone wrong reading a book by Helena Hunting. I love the ways these characters developed together but also on their own.

I think I need to take a break from Helena Hunting books. I really enjoyed her earliest books, but lately I find myself not enjoying her newest books. Something is missing. Don't know what, but something is. And don't get me started on the characters in the books. I don't like them at all. I find them irritating and annoying how they act with each other.

I definitely like this one more than book 1, and it gave me total Shacking Up Series vibes. Which was kismet, because we get a guest appearance from the Mills boys! I loved that. I enjoyed the relationship between London & Jackson. This was a sloooow burn and I kind of wanted to shake both of them, but they finally got there! This was a cute read and I'm glad I picked it up.

When I think of romance, I think of books just like this one, that gives all the feels and satisfies every romance junkies' heart. This is a perfect book to snuggle up with on any day.

The 2nd book in the Spark House series (could definitely be read as a stand alone, but would spoil the first if you haven’t read it), is an easy, charming read.

Starry-Eyed Love was exactly what my “end-of-school-year” brain needed- a good, well-written predictable rom com. I loved getting to learn more about London and her sisters. As someone with two sisters, I can relate to the complicated dynamics with that type of relationship. Looking forward to future books about the Sparks sisters.

Thank you to Helena Hunting, St. Martin’s Press, St. Martin’s Press-Griffin, and NetGalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This story was so sweet. It made me swoon and fall in love. It left me starry-eyed just as the title suggests. I loved every minute of reading it and the characters were so charming and genuine. I loved their journey and seeing their relationship grow throughout the story. I love this series so far and I can't wait to see what Helena has in store for us next.

I thoroughly enjoyed the second book as much as I enjoyed the first one. London and Jack have a fun romance complicated by outside forces, outside forces they both have to contend with. It has Helena Hunting's witty dialogue, great character arcs, and spicy romance. It's one you might have a hard time putting down.

I was so excited to continue on with this series! I'm a big fan of this author and the characters they have come up with. Helena has a great talent for including so many aspects into what ends up being a great romance book. I love the serious tones, the sisterly love, and all of the rest that came along.

The Spark sisters are so wonderful to follow. London may be my favorite so far, even though Avery was an excellent start to the series. Jackson made me have a smile on my face throughout the whole book.

I'm so happy to see there is another book coming out in this series. I'm sure it will be even more loved by me than the two before. I will be adding Helena Hunting as an auto buy author. I have to add this series always makes me want to visit Colorado, because the descriptions sound stunning.
