BLURB ➞
Before I even met Donovan Decker, I knew his shoe size.
You see, I’d gone away for a few days, and in my haste to get out of the airport, I’d grabbed the wrong suitcase.
After checking out the expensive footwear and tailored clothes, I dialed the number on the luggage tag hoping maybe Mister Big Spender might have my bag. A deep, velvety voice answered, and as luck would have it, he had my suitcase, too.
Donovan and I met at a coffee shop to do the exchange. Turned out, it wasn’t just his voice that was sexy. The man holding my luggage was absolutely gorgeous, and we had an immediate spark.
He got me to admit that I’d snooped in his bag and then convinced me to make it up to him by letting him buy me coffee. Coffee led to dinner, dinner led to dessert, and dessert led to spending an entire weekend together. Donovan wasn’t just handsome with a panty-dropping voice. He was also funny, smart, and surprisingly down to earth for a man who wore seven-hundred-dollar shoes.
Did I mention he also did my laundry while I slept?
Definitely too good to be true.
So what did I do to repay him for his kindness?
I waited until he was in the shower, then ghosted him.
My life was too complicated for such a great guy.
In the months that passed, I thought about Donovan often. But New York City had eight million people, so what were the chances I’d run into him? Then again, what were the chances I’d run into him a year later…when I’d just started dating his boss?
What’s between us might not be simple, but it’s also not over.
ARC REVIEW ➞
The Spark was unexpected in a good way. From grabbing the wrong luggage and meeting to exchange it that led to a weekend neither one forgot to 10 months later running into each other at the most unlikely of places.
I absolutely loved Autumn and Donovan. There are so many layers to each of these characters and I loved getting to know more about them and their pasts throughout the story. Autumn is caring, loving, hardworking and you can see how much she loves helping people but she is also broken and closed off. I loved the growth of her throughout this book. By the end I was proud of her for standing up and for getting the justice that was well deserved. Donovan is the exact opposite of what you’d expect. He had to work hard for everything in his life, he had to overcome obstacles that many people didn’t have to. He is caring, sweet and genuinely just wants to help.
I loved the instant spark between Autumn and Donovan and I loved seeing that spark grow, despite the fact that Autumn kept him firmly in the friendzone. While everything may have started with a spark, these two are a burning wildfire by the end. I loved their friendship, their relationship, their quirks. While Autumn passed all of Donovan’s test, he gave her faith and hope and a safe place.
If you’re looking for a strangers to friends to lovers, slow burn romance this is one to check out.
