Fun feel good book. Characters are conversational, quirky, quick witted and likeable. A few detailed episodes that were a little more than I was expecting but fairly tolerable. All girls want to find this guy. Fun quick read. I read an advanced reader copy by was under no obligation to write a review. The opinions expressed are my own. Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book.

Cute story, great characters. I love Helena Hunting. This was a great read. Would definitely recommend. Thank you to Netgally and the publisher for the opportunity.

I adored this book. Helena Hunting is one of my go to authors and When Sparks Fly is a favourite of mine!

From best friends to lovers.
Avery and Declan were college friends who decided to buy condo together become roommates. They were best friends and kept their true feelings to themselves until Avery was in a car accident and injured. Avery was injured enough she couldn't move freely by herself so Declan decided to help her out. Things were strictly friends zone until one thing lead to another. Once they were together it was everything both hoped and imagined and more. It suppose to be friends with benefit situation but nothing ever ends that way. They had to really reevaluate if they could still be friends or more.
This was much better friends to lovers story I have read in awhile. I really liked Declan and Avery and their chemistry. It was well done story. I can't wait to read rest of Avery's sisters.

A good book with a cute couple. Their story has a great building, and it is nice to meet all the side characters.

When Sparks Fly by Helena Hunting is a fun, heartwarming romance filled with humor, chemistry, and emotional depth. The story follows Parker, a woman who is focused on her career but finds herself unexpectedly drawn to the irresistible and charming Brendan.

With a perfect balance of steam and heart, Hunting delivers a delightful, feel-good read ideal for fans of contemporary romance with witty banter and slow-burn tension.

Absolutely love!!! I loved Avery and Declan!! This was such a great romance. I love a good friends to lovers trope!! So glad I finally picked this one up!!

"When Sparks Fly" offers an engaging blend of romance and humor. The characters have charming moments, creating a relatable connection for readers, but some may find their development a bit predictable and the plot line somewhat clichéd. The chemistry between the protagonists is palpable, and several witty exchanges bring light to the story. However, the pacing occasionally drags, especially in the middle chapters, which can detract from the overall enjoyment.
While it's a pleasant read for those looking for a light-hearted romance, it may not leave a lasting impression. Fans of the genre will likely appreciate the familiarity of the narrative, with a friends-to-lovers trope... making it a solid choice for a leisurely afternoon read, but don’t expect it to break new ground in the romance category. Overall, "When Sparks Fly" is entertaining, but it falls just short of being truly memorable.

This is a perfect fit for readers who adore lighthearted, emotional, and humorous romances that explore the ups and downs of friends-to-lovers relationships, caregiver dynamics, and the thrill of forbidden attraction, all set against a backdrop of forced proximity and second chances.

Did I think this was Helena's best book she wrote? No I didn't. Did I still enjoy it? Yes I did! When reading a friends to lovers book, it always seems a little predictable to me and unfortunately that is exactly what I felt when reading this book. I still thought it was an enjoyable and cute read.

This was a fun book, rather predictable but had alot of fun elements to it. I would like to read the other books in this series.

Thank you for a review copy of this book. This book was amazing!!!! I loved me a good friends-to-lovers story and this one checked very box for me! I loved how the author explored the concepts around a friend group as well as how those dynamics change when some of the friends become more. I enjoyed the development of their relationship from friends-to-lovers. It was slow and angsty. I also liked how it was not a smooth transition, but had some bumps along the way. I believe that made it more realistic for the reader. The pacing and writing were well done. I just flew through this book and finished it in less than a day! Overall, I would recommend this book and I will be looking forward to more books to this series!

I loved this book! A best friends to lovers story is always so fun to read because there’s so much love and history to build on. Declan’s character development was exciting to see and I loved his care-taking personality.

When Sparks Fly by Helena Hunting is Avery and Declan story and when they meet Sparks definitely fly. They friendship turns to so much more and they are in for unforgettable journey.
A Must Must read for all readers.

Look, I don't like hurt-comfort or groveling, but this was bad. Avery's not like other girls, and spends almost the whole book disparaging and insulting the hero. There was no emotion

This was such a fun read but I also felt it brought a lot of other emotions in the story as well. It tugged at my heartstrings, made me laugh out loud and i really enjoyed the witty banter.

I am sorry for the inconvenience but I don’t have the time to read this anymore and have lost interest in the concept. I believe that it would benefit your book more if I did not skim your book and write a rushed review. Again, I am sorry for the inconvenience. Note: I ended up purchasing a final copy to read in the future.

When Sparks Fly is the first book in the Spark House series. This book is about Avery and Declan, and is told from both of their points of view. Avery and Declan are best friends and roommates.
Something happens and Declan feels like it is his fault, and he wants to be there to help Avery. As Declan is helping Avery sparks start to fly between the two.
After Avery is better what will happen to their relationship? If their relationship doesn't work out how will it effect their living situation? Will Avery and Declan get their happy ending, or will they realize they are better off as friends?

I thought the premise of this book was so cute. I love a good caretaking romance, and this started so promising. Their relationship development was pretty cute. However I hated the third act breakup and the way Declan reacted so much, that I wasn’t even rooting for them at that point. I do appreciate him going to therapy and working on his issues. Overall I didn’t love this one.

I enjoyed this book. TI haven’t read a lot from this author butmi surely will now. This book just about had me laughing so hard I almost fell off my treadmill. Hilarious. It’s got humour, sarcasm and romance. What more could you ask for? Loved it
