Oh my heck! This is the cutest rom-com novella I’ve read in a long time, if ever. The story flows well and doesn’t have gaping plot holes that made the story feel incomplete. My only criticism is that it doesn’t talk more about the candle convention. The minor characters are the sweetest and really help bring the two MCs together. This rom-com has no spice at all. Not even suggestive dialogue. But don’t pass on this just because that is missing, because it is worth the giggles and smiles you’ll have reading this short story.

I received an eARC of #SparksSnarks from #NetGalley in lieu of my honest review.

Sparks & Snarks is a delightful romantic comedy that delivers on its promise of witty banter, sizzling chemistry, and heartfelt moments. The story follows Megan Monroe, a woman seeking solace at a luxury resort during a candle convention, only to find herself entangled with Logan Ward, a charming and infuriating man who seems to be everywhere she turns. Their initial animosity quickly gives way to undeniable attraction, leading to a forced proximity scenario that fans of the enemies-to-lovers trope will adore.

Atkins' writing is sharp and engaging, with a pace that keeps the story moving without feeling rushed. The chemistry between Megan and Logan is palpable, and their interactions are both humorous and touching. The novella format allows for a concise yet satisfying narrative, making it a perfect quick read for those looking for a light hearted escape.

Overall Takeaway: Sparks & Snarks is a charming enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy that combines humour, heart, and chemistry in a delightful package. It's a perfect choice for readers seeking a quick, feel-good read with engaging characters and a satisfying romance.

Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5 stars)
