When Sparks Fly

When Sparks Fly


by Helena Hunting
Narrated by Jason Clarke & Stella Bloom

⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5


A bad decision has life changing effects in this tale of best friends to lovers!


Avey and Declan have been best friends since Avery dated Declans BF in college. These two have even purchased a condo together. Nothing romantic has every came up between them  and Avery has always been seen as one of the guys… that is until she isn’t…


Realizing that Avery might eventually meet someone and their perfect existence will be over creates a chain reaction of bad decision making by Declan that results in Avery getting into a terrible car accident… she needs constant care and as the one who put her in the situation, Declan insists on being her full-time caregiver until she is able to take care of herself. The close contact and the intimate situations they find themselves in evolve into more that a caregiver relationship and into a girlfriend /boyfriend situation. 


But there are reasons why these two never got together earlier and when their past comes back for them, they find they have what it takes to make this relationship work outside the sickroom or loose everything.


I enjoyed this story and seeing Declan and Avery realize their attraction and feelings for each other and eventually act upon it. The catalyst for their coming together was really dramatic and places Declan in a pretty deep hole to climb out of as the hero of the story. I felt that he did in my opinion and I appreciated that later work he puts into himself in order to be ready and worthy of a relationship. 


Overall I enjoyed both Avery and Declan and found myself very invested in the outcome of their relationship.


I listened to this in audiobook form and the dual narrator easy to listen to and handy for navigating the changes in narration. Both narrators had good pacing and complemented each other. The narration was well done and really helped bring Avery and Declan’s story to life.



When Sparks Fly by Helena Hunting is scheduled to release September 21st, 2021.



I received a complimentary copy of this book from St. Martin’s and the audiobook from Macmillan Audio through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

The Art of Taxidermy

by    Sharon Kernot I didn’t know what I was getting when I picked out this book. When I first opened this book and started to read, I was pleasantly surprised. The author, has written this novel in verse and the flow of the writing really goes with and helps tell the story. The Art of Taxidermy tells a gripping and emotional story about love of family and great loss. The themes are woven through the coming of age of young Lottie, along with her immigrant family in Australia after the second world war. I was taken in by this book from the first page and was made to feel deeply for Lottie and this family. Sharon Kernot has written a beautiful book and I can not highly recommend it enough. This is a must read. The Art of Taxidermy by Sharon Kernot is due to release August 23rd, 2019. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the Text Publishing Company through NetGalley.

The Outlaw's Daughter

The Outlaw’s Daughter Haywire Bride Series #3 by Margaret Brownley ⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 A year old stage robbery has brought Texas Ranger, Matt Taggert to the small town of Haywire. While investigating his lead he he discovers that his prime suspect died just days after the stage coach robbery and is the tow’s local hero… not only that, he has left behind a beautiful widow and 2 children. Ellie-May is no stranger to public scorn, as the daughter of an outlaw , she knows what the Rangers accusations against her deceased husband will do to her family and children. For the sake of her family, she will do anything to protect them and that includes keeping secrets and resisting the Rangers charms!  This was fun story. I loved how the romance also included the children because as a mother myself (happily married) I could never imagine being able to separate my love life from that of my family life. A new partner would definitely need to win over the kids along with me!  ...

Here to Stay

Here to Stay by Adriana Herrara ⭐⭐⭐ /5 Adrianna Herraara has a remarkable way of capturing the personality and spirit of her New Yorker characters… even when they aren’t in their native New York! The friendships created and the corresponding camaraderie are what stood out to me the most in this book. It was fun to watch these ex-pat New Yorkers come together in their new home and bond. As for the romance, I found it a bit forced. Julia is on a dating sabbatical and not looking for a man… Rocco is only in Dallas working fro the men trying to cut funding and close Julia’s charitable foundation that she works for. These two should be enemies, but they are friends… the tension between them is pretty high, but they both know they are on opposite sides… I found it unsatisfying… size they were workplace enemies, their friendship muddied the waters. I found it hard to get behind their romance. On another side, I really enjoyed the representation of the charitabl...
