Starry Eyed Love takes place in the Spark House world and is book 2 in the series. Though it is a stand alone, if you haven't read When Sparks Fly, I highly recommend you read that first.

This is the story of London and and Jackson as they both learn to open themselves up to love. Both have managed to stay detached in their personal lives and highly involved in their work, but after meeting twice, they cannot deny their spark, no matter how hard they try to at first. I could not put this book down and loved every second of it. I highly recommend it!

I really enjoyed it, the blurb was really intriguing and made me want to read it.
Jackson Came over as a very confident Alpha, but upon further inspection it wasn't really that case.
Avery wasn't my favorite character in this book, she actually came over as a very selfish woman who took her sisters for granted. But with some explanation toward the end I get where it came from.
What I found a bit irritating was the fight near the end, because I didn't felt like London had a hard point. But when explained I could see where she was coming from, but I didn't feel like that.

The Spark sisters are back:) Starry-Eyed love is London’s story and it is sweet & written in the stars;)

London & Jackson meet but chance at a local bar shortly after her latest breakup but it wasn’t their time. A few months later though is another story❤️ Jackson sees London -by chance- at a presentation for his company and he is determined to get the girl this time💕

There are a few hiccups along the way but London & Jackson manage to maintain their businesses, some cool friendships and a long distance relationship🙂

Fave scene:
“You haven’t made me uncomfortable.” “Good. That’s very good.” His tongue drags across his bottom lip. “I just needed to tell you that from across the room, you were beyond stunning, but up close.” He lets out a low whistle. “You are an absolute work of art.” I fight with my eyebrows not to rise. This guy has all the lines. “Oh, really?” I lace my fingers together and set my chin on them. “The kind of art you might hang in your living room?” “Bedroom, actually.”—-ahh smooth💕

I loved this book, even more than the first! Largely for Jackson, the handsome and charming and caring and intelligent Jackson!
I loved the funny and intense first meeting, with Jackson who only has eyes for London, and London who refuses his invitation. Starting a story with a refusal, what a great idea!
I loved the second meeting with Jackson still so intense and London embarrassed but who manages to keep a cool head when it comes to work.
I loved that she invited him back and Jackson's response.
I loved that despite the tensions, the attraction, they remain professional, they become friends and partners. They get to know each other gently, Jackson can not help initiating meetings and discussions that are not always so professional.
Our heroes are afraid to love and then lose their loved one, so the fact that they spend time together professionally and get to know each other gently is what is best for them.
I loved London's relationship with her sisters even if it's not always perfect (therefore realistic), and Jackson's relationship with his best friend.
I loved the passion of our heroes for their work, ecology (except that our hero has a private jet...), mutual aid...
Jackson is particularly very rich but humble and not capricious. Money is not a concern between them.
London is amazing, she works very hard with her sisters but also for her sales on Etsy.
The author shows us that professional success is important and fulfilling when you are passionate, but that life is not limited to that. Family, friends and love must have a privileged place in our lives. We must savor the presence of our loved ones and not take it for granted.
The past of our protagonists, especially their losses, is very touching. We never fall into pathos but the subject is approached with sensitivity and accuracy.
Of course, there are a few secrets, imperfect communication. All this to spice up the plot. But Jackson and London's love for each other is very strong and deep.
What a pleasure to find the heroes of the first book but also of another series of the author.
In short, you have understood, I loved this novel and can only recommend it to you.

I'm so happy I get to read an advance copy of this book. So this is part of a series but can totally be read as a standalone but really ... why wouldn't you read everything Helena Hunting writes!
I really enjoy reading a story where both leads don't have everything going for them. I mean they deal with grief and anxiety but still we get to see them grow.
I will post another review when this book gets closer to publishing. But for now I want to encourage all the romance readers to PRE ORDER this book cause you will not be disappointed!

This was a great book! The story flowed throughout and the characters were well written. I liked the storyline, however, I think it talked too much about environmentally green. I would recommend reading this book.

With a unique storyline, I enjoyed this book. There was quite a bit of graphic material that I ignored and turned the past and quite a few expletives. I tend to shy away from books that are very graphic and did not realize this one would be that way. Regardless, the story was great and kept me wondering what would happen in the end. I thought the flight was unique and the characters were developed well.

Fun, light and enjoyable. A quick read, perfect for a book club.

I received an ARC, of Starry-Eyed Love, by Helena Hunting. I liked the characters of London and Jackson, and all the traveling they do.

"Starry-Eyed Love" was not as enjoyable for me as the first book in the series, "When Sparks Fly". There is no one thing I can point to about the story that made it not resonate as much. There were aspects of the plot that I did not particularly care for and specific incidents in the story that I did not care for, but the plot was well-crafted, and it made sense for the characters (London and Jackson) and their situation. London and Jackson were both interesting characters, and how they met the first and second time was creative. The story has a good mix of drama, humor, and steam. I enjoyed getting to spend more time in the world of the Spark sisters, and I look forward to seeing what Ms. Hunting has in store for the third Spark sister, Harley, in a future book.

I received a copy of the e-book via NetGalley in exchange for a review.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for sending me an ARC of this book; I really enjoyed getting an early look at this new book.

Every once in a while, the perfect book comes along at the perfect time in your life and this was one of those books for me. I loved the story, the main characters, the supporting characters; heck, I just loved everything !! I don't want to give any part of the story away, so I'll just say: Go read this one. You'll be glad you did.

Enjoyed this slow burn romance! I loved these flawed characters and enjoyed their sweet story. Filled with love and lots of laughter! Great little rom com read!

I swear, with each book Helena Hunting writes, her work gets better and better...and I'm not even sure how that's possible because she's one of the most talented authors out there already! Starry-Eyed Love is a funny, emotional story involving a pseudo-office, forbidden love romance and you will absolutely fall in love with Jackson and London. I certainly did and I could not get enough of these two incredible characters! Starry-Eyed Love is a standalone read but is the second book in the Spark sisters series. There are some spoilers but you can certainly jump right in and enjoy this story without prior reading of When Sparks Fly.

I just loved London! She was creative and smart and so much fun. Her relationship with her sisters is beautiful and I love her dedication and love for her family and their business, Spark House. Jackson was delicious! This billionaire CEO is hot, sexy, smart and witty. These two have a not-so-meet-cute initially and when they come face to face the next time, sparks definitely ignite. Their relationship develops slowly as they share a business relationship first. As they spend more time together, I couldn't help falling in love right alongside them. London and Jackson's relationship took a long time to truly develop and I loved every second of their slow-burn spark. Hunting knows exactly how to build a love story and this one was perfectly executed.

With fun characters and a beautiful setting, Starry-Eyed Love is exactly what I needed. It made me laugh and it made me feel. I loved everything about it and I cannot wait for Harley's story! 5 stars

4.5 Stars

Starry-Eyed Love was a cute read. Here's what I loved about it:

*It was a slow burn romance with little drama.
*I loved getting to know London, the middle Spark sister. She was a nice person. All of the things she was going through with her job, hobby, and sisters could happen in real life.
*I wasn't really expecting anything from Jackson going in, but I loved his character. He was rich, but he was also a good guy who seemed really down to Earth for having so much money and notoriety.
*The way Jackson and London kept things business appropriate was cool. I liked that Hunting didn't make this book about sneaking around or keeping things quiet since Jackson and London had a highly publicized working relationship. 
*I loved seeing Jackson and London's connection and attraction build throughout the work interactions they had. It made their romance even sweeter when the time came.
*I even enjoyed the drama before the HEA. 

Was there anything I wasn't a fan of? Well, I guess I did think London was a little overdramatic about the drama, but I could understand her line of thinking. That was really it, though. I had a great time reading this book. It was exactly the upbeat read I needed after reading a heavily emotional book prior to it. It was a sweet contemporary. I can't wait for the next book in the series.

This is probably not the type of book I would have chosen to read from the initial description but as I was provided with a copy in order to review then here goes.

First I found that it was quite an easy read as it was well written and flowed. Interesting enough at the start with good characterisation so that my interest was raised enough to see what happened and although some of the events or reactions slightly strained my credibility overall this was a pleasant read.

I would suspect that this will find a much wider and receptive audience with a different reader profile than mine but all in all this wasn't a waste of a few hours to read and yes, enjoy.

An okay romance with predictable turns. This is the second book in the series. She has anxiety which she turned into a side business on Etsy while working with her sisters in the wedding/venue business which is green. He's an orphan whos' focused on improving the world. He asked her out she said no only no they're working together and he doesn't date colleagues. It was an okay read.

**************************I received an ARC for my honest opinion from NetGalley.*********************

As always Helena Hunting knocks it out of the park. I loved the Spark sisters last book but I love them even more now. I absolutely can’t wait for more books in this series and I hope they come out soon!

Starry-Eyed Love is a fabulous laugh-out-loud contemporary romance by Helena Hunting. Ms. Hunting has provided readers with a well-written book populated with spectacular and sometimes quirky characters. This book is written in first person, not my favorite format, but it didn't detract from the story. London and her sisters run Spark House, the family business. Jackson is a rich businessman that meets London for a second time when she arrives at his company to give a presentation. London and Jackson's story is packed with drama, humor, sizzle, a bit of angst but it's not overwhelming...and did I mention humor? I enjoyed this book from cover to cover and look forward to my next book by Helena Hunting. This is a complete book, not a cliffhanger.

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

Thank you to St. Martin's Press for a gifted ARCE of Starry-Eyed Love by Helena Hunting. This book is available on May 10, 2022.

Rating: 4-4.5 star
Genre: Romance

Helena Hunting is one of my favorite romance authors, so I'm always thrilled to read her books. After reading Avery's story in When Sparks Fly, I was so excited to read London's story. These books can be read as standalones, but each book revolves around one sister.

I really enjoyed London and Jackson's story. It has everything you expect for Helena's Books....witty banter, a great storyline, and steam!

I would recommend this book if you enjoy:
-Witty romance stories with steam
-Standalone books that follow different characters that are connected...these books follow three sisters.

This review will be posted on our Instagram and Goodreads accounts!

The Spark sisters are a fiercely loyal, tight-knit threesome, working as a unit to manage Spark House, their ever growing destination event planning business. As they're out celebrating the "Fun London" who re-emerged following a recent breakup with her boyfriend, middle sister London is hit on by a scruffily clad, but very attractive stranger, London is not impressed, nor is she interested.

Fast forward a few months to when a multinational company shows interest in partnering with Spark House on a new green initiative that could significantly increase their visibility and their bottom line. The Spark sisters agree that London should be in charge of landing this deal. As she's nearing the end of what London is confident has been a successful presentation to Holt Media, she is interrupted by the CEO himself, Jackson Holt who happens to be the attractive but scruffily clad stranger she'd rebuffed. Only now he looks like a CEO instead of a homeless bum.

Over the next couple of months the two are thrown together often but Jackson is determined to keep their relationship strictly professional until after the launch of the green deal, despite his desire to do otherwise. London is thrown off guard by Jackson's apparent change of heart and when parts of his past come to light she begins to doubt his sincerity. Her disappointment is magnified by the demands of Spark House and soon London begins to doubt her place on both fronts.

"Starry-Eyed Love" is Helena Hunting's second book in the Spark House trilogy. I love the imperfections of her characters with their fresh dialogue and captivating personalities. Her original plots range from lighthearted fun to emotional pulls that leave you wanting more and I'm looking forward to reading Harley's story too. I do however wonder at a few instances where Hunting seems to have difficulty with the correct usage of I, me, my and myself. These are elementary and I'm surprised to see them confused by an author of Hunting's caliber. Four stars.

The expected publication date of "Starry-Eyed Love" is May 10, 2022 so check with your favorite bookseller and reserve your copy. My thanks to Net Galley and St. Martin's Griffin for providing me with an Advance Readers Copy (ARC). I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
