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.

I read the first book in the series when it came out and was excited to read this one. I am generally not a romance reader but this author is slowly converting me. I loved the book and hope the author plans to add a few installments. The story is a pretty much a rags to riches fairytale but it’s original and fresh in how the story unfolds. Truly enjoyable and I have been telling everyone to read the book. It’s that good!the only beef I had with the book was the ridiculous obsession with centerpieces. I guess that’s pretty minor and easily overlooked. A big thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the ARC.

LOVED IT! The love story was so organic, the 11th hour complication was surprisingly and maturely handled, and the familial relationship was not all smooth sailing, but was also dealt with realistically and maturely. I can’t wait to see what’s next with Harley’s story.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

Too slow 🐢 & not very emotionally engaging for me!

2.5-3 🌟 stars
I had great hope for this romance but, in the end, it just was not fulfilled. I found it too long, it did not engage me in the couple's romantic journey and it tried to cram too many elements into the plot.

Jackson, the billionaire male lead, was a problem for me.
He was always flaunting his connections and wealth for London Spark, the woman he wanted. Why? when he and his friends feared London might be attracted to him only for his wealth and influence. If he was testing her, he went to extremes. He also repeatedly manipulated situations, withheld information, and passed them off as surprises for London's benefit. And, buddy, is a present of fancy lingerie to your new lover REALLY a gift for her pleasure? London's just a pushover for his charm and justifications for his behavior. And it was never clear to me how this orphan from a regular family with depleted resources due to illness and medical bills made his fortune so quickly; inquiring minds want to know!

There were weird and inconsistent elements in the story (who carries a clutch in their own wedding?). London's age at the time of her parents' death changes from a junior in high school to fourteen.

And the romantic relationship was very slow build (first kiss well past the middle of the story and their dates were a bit ho-hum, notwithstanding the intimate scenes). I like a romance that has more focus on the romance, not business, meetings and social events. And the whole Selene subplot just did not work for me, from the social media firestorm after she first visits the Spark sisters' hotel/event venue right down to the neat bow tied on her situation in the epilogue.

Overall, this was a miss for me.

Thanks to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for sharing a complimentary advance copy of the book; this is my voluntary and honest opinion.

I loved it! Funny, sweet and spicy! This is a great read to take you away from everything! London and Jackson are wonderful characters and mesh so well. I absolutely adore them. It gave me all the feels and left me happy and content! I couldn't have asked for a better read!

4/5 ⭐️

Helena has solidly stamped herself as a one click author for me. I kid you not I have read every single one of her books and they almost never disappoint!

This book was really no different, it was good! It has Huntings typical writing
full of charm and an easy plot to follow. I do have to say that the middle of this book dragged and the relationship between Jackson and London was a little odd and was missing some spark - pun intended - that book one had (I”m literally obsessed with book one). Clearly that did not deter me in the least because I am a Helena Hunting die hard fan, but I can see how this might deter someone who is new to this author.

I think my other big thing about this book is that Jackson’s POV (male MC) was not in this book as much as I would have liked! It would have levelled up this book for sure! Yes, I know this book is definitely supposed to be London’s book but like there are so many moments that I was like “I wonder what Jackson is thinking/doing right now”

All and all I still liked this book! Please pick this one up when it comes out! I know I’ll be running to get myself a physical copy!

Big thank you to NetGalley and St Martin’s Griffin for giving me this ARC in exchange for my honest review!

Always love to support my Canadian authors 🇨🇦

London and Jackson's story was heartwarming and sweet. These two were attracted to each other from the very beginning but timing was bad - they couldn't mix business with pleasure. But, of course, their romance was undeniable. I loved watching them figure out how to make their relationship work and I enjoyed seeing them come to terms with the fact that they couldn't live without each other. This story made me happy - a strong, creative woman who loves her family and has big dreams for her future and a sexy CEO with a kind heart, a charming smile and a love for the planet...sigh! This book had a bit of family drama and some obstacles for London and Jackson to overcome but it was also fun, sweet and a quick read. This is the second book in this series and it's my favorite so far. I'm definitely looking forward to the next installment!

This book is the second in a series and I definitely liked it better than the first. London’s anxiety and challenges with her work resonated with me. I liked how prominent a role the family business and sisterly dynamics played in the book. As far as heroes go, Jackson was fairly good. Did he need some major improvements in communication skills? Absolutely. But enough else was good to keep me from being too annoyed.

Helena Hunting does it again, I'm so in love with this story. Starry-Eyed Love is the second installment of the Spark House series, and I loved it, it is sexy and cute, I swooned so hard, a slow burn romance that will fascinate you from start to finish.

London is fresh out of a relationship and now wants to be alone for a while, but when she runs into Jackson again, a guy who once asked her out and she refused, sparks fly between them, however they decide not to act on it because they have a professional relationship now, but the more time they spend together the harder it is to resist the attraction. I loved the chemistry between them so much, it jumps off the pages, it's epic, their scenes together made my heart skip a beat, and the slow burn, gahhh almost set my tablet on fire.

This story is so good, the perfect combination of steamy chemistry,funny and sweet, it made me laugh, cry and sigh, highly recommended for fans of slow burn romances

4.5 stars

This book was so hard to put down!!

I loved how London and Jackson initially met, and everything that followed. They had such amazing chemistry! Sparks were definitely there 😉 and the way they interacted in every little way was just wonderful.

I loved getting both POV’s. The problems that build and the way they are handled was great and frustrating (which is meant to happen 😆)

London is crafty and lovely and I totally sympathised with her on some of her struggles and I loved how Jackson helped as well, he was seriously such a sweetie.

It was a sweet read and I loved reading every bit of it.

Starry-Eyed Love is a delightful, slow burn romance. Helena Hunting does a great job creating realistic characters who readers want to hang out with again and again.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jackson and London first meet at a bar, when London turns down Jackson’s dinner date. She’s fresh off a meh relationship and isn’t ready for anything else. Months later, she headlines a sponsorship presentation for Spark House, the family event hotel she runs with her sisters. Only, it turns out it’s with Jackson’s company. The two have an immediate connection, but can they act on it if they are working together?

I really enjoyed this story, much more than the first one in this series. I identified with London’s anxiety, and her inability to say no to to her sisters’ demands. Her sister Avery isn’t particularly likable in this book, but her motivations seemed realistic.

It was nice that Jackson and London take their time getting to know each other too. Clearly they have chemistry that’s visible to everyone around them, but both take their work too seriously to mess with their professional relationship. They are adorable together, and I was thrilled when they finally acted on their feelings. And, if you are a longtime Helena Hunting reader, there are plenty of entertaining cameos too.

Starry-Eyed Love was a great slow burn romance that I didn’t want to put down. I’m ready to go back to Spark House for Harley’s story!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Starry-Eyed Love follows middle sister London as she struggles to find a work life balance once the Spark House takes off after Jackson Holt and his company’s partnership. London loves her sisters and the Spark House but her role there is not fulfilling her and draining her creativeness which is something she absolutely loves. The complication that is Jackson has London wanting more for herself and their relationship but is it too many changes happening all at once?

I really like the gradual evolution of London and Jackson’s relationships. They started out with a strictly business partnership that evolved into a friendship that lead to their romantic relationship. London and Jackson have both suffered great losses that have effected their outlook on relationships whether they realized it or not. Seeing them grow and open up to each other was really well done.

This is the second book in the Spark House series by @helenahunting following the Spark sisters and each of the books so far have had really well developed characters and real struggles that make them so relatable.
