BLURB
Charming, hilarious, and emotional, Starry-Eyed Love is Helena Hunting at her very best!
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.
I realize that this is the spark I’ve been missing all along. And now that I’ve found it, I want to nurture it and turn it into a flame that will never extinguish.
ARC REVIEW
I love London. She is the business side of the Spark House that she owns and runs with her sisters, however, that isn’t her dream. London is also extremely creative and crafty and you can feel the passion she has for creating. Jackson is a millionaire, but he is also pretty down to earth and doesn’t love to flaunt his wealth unless it is to help someone. London and Jackson cross paths shortly after a break up for London and she turns down Jackson. Neither of them thought their paths would cross again….
While this was a slow burn, I loved the build up. I love that you could feel the chemistry between London and Jackson and seeing them connect the more and more time they spent together and just got to talking about their lives. However, also the fact that they are working together kind of puts a damper on taking things further.
There were a lot of ups and downs when it came to London and Jackson and a whole lot of misunderstandings. You could feel the emotions and the pain that these two were feeling throughout the story and also the joy.
I love the bond that London has with her sisters, Avery and Harley. Besides their grandma they are all the family they have. They may not always see eye to eye, but they are protective of each other and will always be there for each other.
