Starry-eyed Love is such a wonderful, entertaining, heartwarming read that put my heart through the ringer.
This is London Sparks story and it really packs a punch, I loved everything about it and read it in one sitting!
There is something special about a book that grabs you from the start to the end and makes you want so much more.
London is a creative, caring, heart on her sleeves woman, shes sassy, fiery and a talker. She does her utmost to help her sisters with running Spark House. When an exciting opportunity comes their way, she jumps at the opportunity, albeit until she sees the CEO. Needless to say this book is nothing short of entertaining and I just thoroughly enjoyed every word.
A book to put high on your tbr list for sure!

I enjoyed reading ‘When Sparks Fly’, so when I recognised the characters and saw this book was London’s story, I was excited to read it.

Focusing on London, the middle sister, this book felt like a modern day fairytale story.

Having just got out of a relationship, London is enjoying an evening out with her sisters, when a handsome and generous guy picks up their tab, and offers his number. Not being in the right head space, London politely declines.

As, London is trying to juggle working at Spark House while trying to balance her personal interests. So when a multi-million-dollar company calls a few months later asking for a meeting to discuss a potential partnership, London is eager to prove to her sisters, and herself, that she can land this deal.

Poised and ready to go, London feels great and fully capable until the CEO Jackson decides to sit in on the meeting. Not recognising him straightaway, Jackson turns out to be the handsome and generous guy from a few months ago, the guy who asked London out.

The more time they spend in each other’s company, London and Jackson attempt to remain professional, all the while their undeniable chemistry crackles and is ever present.

When Jackson’s secretive past and London’s struggle with juggling the relationship between her sisters and Spark House becoming more and more busy, it leaves London questioning how to make it all work.

Second book in the Spark House series and I thought it was as enjoyable as the first but this one is definitely a slow burn romance, so it might take some time for some readers to get hooked into the story.
As I said this is a slow burn but I liked reading how London and Jackson's relationship develops, how their feelings start to change and grow, there is also quite a bit of humor is great.
I think Helena does a great job writing characters that feel authentical and that are easy to relate to. It's a bit more emotional and not as funny as the first book I'd say but still this is a well written and entertaining contemporary romance and I'd recommend it. I'm really hoping we get Harley's book next!

When I got the ARC, I had no idea this was the second book in a series. But it doesn't seem like it when I read this story, which is super cute and charming by the way! The plot keep me reading because I wanted to see London succeed in a career and love. I needed a lovely book to enjoy during the winter and this was it for me!

I really love the Spark sisters, and after reading and enjoying When Sparks Fly I was looking forward to reading Starry-Eyed Love. This book focuses on the middle sister London Spark and her love story with the handsome billionaire Jackson Holt. I could really relate to London and liked her personality a lot. The same goes for Jackson, I thought he was a very nice guy.

However, the main reason I rated this book 3 stars is because it was lacking passion. I was waiting for the sparks to fly off the pages. I liked London and Jackson together, but it wasn't like I needed them to stay together forever. Their romance felt like a subplot. What I did love was the bond between the sisters. Also even if I didn't love this book it still kept me interested enough to finish it. It also had a lot of great moments. I am definitely looking forward to seeing who the youngest sister Harley ends up with.

Loved this book! I think I liked it better than the first one actually. I love getting to see London's story. This series is so good but what do you expect when it's by the great Helena Hunting! I can't wait for the youngest sisters story!

Second in series about the Spark House and the sisters.
London meets stranger while at a bar with her sisters.
Jacksons ask fer out but she turned him down.
At a meeting to meet a potential client she meet the stranger again.
They have a somewhat of a attraction to each other.
There is some drama, miss understandings and sweet romance.
A good romance story.
Enjoyed reading.
Voluntarily Reviewed.

I enjoyed the beginning of this book with the slow burn and how they maintained their business relationship. But once they got together it fell apart for me. The hero became a bit too annoying with throwing all his money around. And the sister relationship got so frustrating with them burning themselves out. The Cinderella tropes went a bit far too. Overall I like this book for the first two thirds

Stress, misunderstandings and family issues all keep you turning the pages to see where they story is going to go. The women characters are all.strong willed and have strong personalities.

I am loving these Spark sisters. After meeting the Spark sisters in the first book and following the eldest, Avery Spark and her love story with Declan, we finally come to the middle Spark sister ,London. You get a small taste of London in the first book so when I came into this second book I wasn't sure what to expect. She seemed a little uptight in the first book but I didn't know enough about her to really make a judgement on who she was.

Cut to Starry-Eyed Love. London is just post break-up and spending time with her sisters at a bar. She is approached by a rugged guy who pays for her table's tab and asks for her number. London being just a few weeks shy of her last break-up says that she has a boyfriend, not bring ready to jump into the dating pool just yet. Fast forward a few months. London is in charge of most of the business aspects of the Spark House, the B&B and Event hotel that she and her sisters run. They are 3rd generation Sparks who run this business. And while Avery thrives in her job of event planning and love the Spark House with all her heart, London is happy to use her creative side to do decor and centerpieces but running the business side gives her a lot of anxiety. It's not something that is natural to her.

When a giant tech company is starting a new initiative looking to help smaller companies who are doing great things with green technology and matching them up with larger corporations to help sponsor them, they contact the Spark House and want to bring them into the fold. London jumps at the chance and takes days working on a presentation. What she doesn't expect at the presentation is to be confronted by the rugged man who asked for her number long ago, except now he's clean-up and the CEO of the giant tech firm.

Jackson Holt had just come out from camping in the woods for several weeks when he first laid eyes on London Sparks in that bar. He remembered her smile and laugh and couldn't take his eyes off her. So when he walks by a meeting some of his employees are having and sees London in the room. He stops what he's doing, cancels his next meeting and is drawn into the room to listen to her. What he didn't expect was the sparks and the sass that were coming from her. He couldn't help himself and while he never does this, invested himself into her business. The downside is that now he can't date her. He would never mix his business with dating. So until their project is over, he is keeping her close but not crossing the line.

Jackson and London have serious chemistry. They have an ease to their relationship, even while trying to keep it all business. But they slip into a casualness between them that shows how comfortable they are around each other. They open themselves up to the other in ways they never do with other people. And while both agree that they can't cross the line while doing business, they definitely are attracted to the other.

And with any good romance, there's the twist! A lot of misunderstandings and miscommunication, not just between Jackson and London, but with a few other people, create a rift that neither seems to know how to cross. But the happy ever after is always there and the banter, steam and great storytelling you're used to with Hunting is present in this story as well. I love the relationship with not just Jackson and London but also between the sisters. It's a love story and a sister story, all in one. And I can't wait to get to Harley's story. She's been one of my favorite characters so far in these books and I know Hunting has a great story for her ready to go.

This second book in the Spark House series was a good read but one that took me a while to get into. When I read the first book of this series, I was hooked from the start but this second book had a super slow burn to it that took me longer to get into. I will admit that once I started to get into this story, I became hooked on this story too.

In this addition to this series, we get to know more about middle sister London all while remaining in the loop a little with oldest sister Avery Spark. London is the creative sister and one that is not too happy with her part of the business administration end of the family legacy since it is not one of her strong points. She is super anxious when having to pitch the business to others but will do anything to help the business grow especially when she finds herself presenting for a sponsorship with Teamology with the last man that she expects to.

Jackson Holt is a millionaire businessman that at first meets London by chance in a bar but at the wrong time. Later, Jackson meets London again when he has the opportunity to have a business partnership with her and her sisters and he jumps in with both feet. He tries his hardest to keep the growing attraction between the two of them and their relationship professional until their business arrangement has ended but as the more time the pair spend together the harder it is for Jackson to maintain his professional boundaries.

This was a good read that I enjoyed throughout but it was a slow burn, slow build up read. At times, I found this frustrating as you could taste and feel the chemistry between London and Jackson. I enjoyed watching the feelings between the pair grow while learning more about each of them as well as getting a see into them as people - their fears and what makes them tick. I also enjoyed the cameo appearances from some of the Mills and the Mooreheads from the Shacking up series.

Overall, this was a good read that I enjoyed as an addition to this series. I look forward to seeing what is in store for the last Spark sister and will anxiously await the answer to that! I also recommend this book and this series to others.

What You'll Find:
✔️Contemporary Romance
✔️Billionaire Workplace
✔️Forced Proximity
✔️Slow Burn
✔️Open Door Steam
✔️Dual POV

London is out with her sisters (and business partners of their event hotel Spark House) for a drink when a charming man hits on her. She turns him down, having just broke up with her ex and no room in her busy life. When fate reunites them in a way that will bring not only business and much needed revenue to Spark House, but also this charming man into her life, things blossom quickly. But he's got secrets and she's not sure where she stands with him, or even Spark House.

Starry-Eyed Love is an enjoyable romance with super likable MC's. London I adored. She's real. Strong. Selfless. There was much I could relate to in her. And Jackson. He's sophisticated sexy. He has this charming air to him that is sexy. And he pays attention. He sees her. These two have an instant attraction and great chemistry but they move in more of a friends to lovers slow burn. And I mean slow... a little too slow in the middle for me personally.

But there was much to enjoy. Some great steam in the end. Laugh out loud humor. And plenty of heart. I did not love the drama in the end, but did love how it was resolved. Avery drove me bonkers. But there's always one sibling, am I right? Overall I enjoyed this one, more so that the first. And am looking forward to sweet Harley's story!

THANKS TO NETGALLEY AND THE PUBLISHER FOR THIS REVIEW COPY IN EXCHANGE FOR AN HONEST REVIEW.

I didn't know it was part of a series. however, it didn't feel like I was missing something.

London is an owner of Spark House along with her two sisters. She is career-oriented and works really hard, although she is not natural in that work and had to put more effort. Her work life doesn't give her time to date someone until She met Jackson. CEO of a huge multi-millionaire company who is looking for potential partnerships with small businesses that are environmentally friendly.

Usually, I don't read much romance and whenever I do, I cringe a lot. This book was totally on the opposite spectrum, it was mostly sweet and cute ( and a bit cringy). I love the sisters' dynamic, how siblings can be different from each other but still make everything work. Jackson and London's plot was a bit cliche but I really like when the MCs are mature enough to communicate rather than listen to others. I also like the fact that work-life and business were always the focus of the story, unlike so many other books. All of the characters were flawed which made them relatable. Overall, it was a cute read.

4.5 stars - Helena Hunting does it again! In Starry Eyed Love another Spark sister finds her HEA. It’s another yummy romance and this time the hero is a billionaire, instead of a best friend. The read is sexy, honest and full of heart. What’s not to like?!

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

Wow loved this story. Loved the instant connection London and Jackson had. Loved the back and fourth between them. They were great at making each other feel things they didn’t know they needed. Could not put this book down. Had to see where the story was going. Did not except the twist. A must read.

Witty and emotional, Starry Eyed Love is an absolute delight! I adored being back in the Spark House world, and loved the chemistry between Jackson and London. The story flowed beautifully and was a joy to read.

5/5 stars
Thank you to the publisher for the early review copy!
Starry-Eyed Love is the second book in the Spark House series. They are interconnected standalone romances. I haven't actually read the first book, but I loved this one I likely will go back and read it. This romance was really cute and made me fall hard for them very quickly. I rarely cry when reading and I was so immersed in the story and the characters that I definitely ugly cried for a chapter or two. The romance was a pretty slow burn which tend to be the ones I like best and once it was full swing I was here for it.

Definitely recommend this book!

I really enjoyed this book - even more so than the first book in the series. Equally enjoyable as the romance between London and Jackson was the conflict between London and her sisters Harley and Avery regarding the state of Sparks House, and the resolution of both were very satisfying. It took me a bit to warm up to Jackson because I found him (his dialogue?) very formal and business-like even with London. But he turned out to be pretty swoon-worthy! I just wish we saw more of the grandmother throughout. I assume the next installment will be Harley's story and I am all for it!

“Starry-Eyed Love" is the second in this series by Helena Hunting. I truly enjoyed the first and was glad to get the opportunity to read tis story of the Spark House again. This was such an engaging story and was filled with humor and romance. It is the story of London Spark who is out celebrating her freedom after a breakup with her sisters. During their night on the town, a handsome man pays for their meals and who she finds out later it is millionaire Jackson Holt, CEO of the company that wants to include her family business into their company.

Both London and Jackson are likeable individuals who are written in the pages as realistic people…flaws and all. I thought they were well-developed characters and I loved how their romantic relationship took its time to bloom and was not rushed. This story shows the dedication of London who is caring and works hard for her family’s business. Although there one hiccup of the hero, Jackson’s not liking office romance but finding himself entangled in one is ironic. There is sweet banter between the two but also both characters learning to deal with issues of their past. . Not quite as enjoyable than the first but was truly a delightful romantic comedy and workplace romance trope. Recommend the read and looking forward to the next in the series. A 3.5-Stars rounded to 4-Stars.

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin’s Griffin for this ARC in exchange for my fair and honest review. All opinions are my own.

Starry-Eyed Love is a wonderful and a beautiful contemporary romance. Though this novel is the second book of the series it can be read as a standalone as well.
This novel is a very sweet but at the same time an emotional love story of London and Jackson. I loved both the characters who were so imperfectly perfect. It's hard not to fall in love with all the characters of this book. The bond between the sisters is so heartwarming and I am definitely going to be reading the first book of the series. Witty, humorous, emotional, romantic and at the same time grounded with family relations this is a perfect novel which will warm your heart.
