When Sparks Fly by Helena Hunting

Purchase on Amazon!

Running the Spark House, a hotel/event space that has been in her family for years, has been Avery Spark’s lifelong dream. After years of working hard and making personal sacrifices, Avery and her two younger sisters have turned the Spark House into the premier destination in Colorado Springs. Avery is living her best life—she works with her sisters and loves every minute of it, she has a great group of friends, and she lives in a fantastic condo with her best friend Declan. She might not have any love in her life, but she's happy.

But everything comes to a screeching halt when Avery is in a car accident, leaving her immobile for weeks. After nearly losing Avery, Declan insists that he will be the one to take care of her while she recovers. However, as Declan becomes Avery’s caretaker, lines begin to blur.

Avery and Declan have been best friends since college and always had an attraction to one another, but when she ended up dating his best friend, Sam, they successfully stamped down any feelings they may have ever had for one another. Now, as Declan and Avery spend more time together, they each begin to wonder what would’ve happened if she'd dated him instead of Sam. What starts as a friend helping out another friend turns into foreplay and, before they realize it, they recognize how deeply they care for one another. But when things get serious their past threatens to destroy everything they have built.

4 Stars

When Sparks Fly is the perfect best friends to lovers book this year! I've always been a fan on Ms. Hunting's book and this is just another favorite of hers.

It's an entertaining and fun read between best friends Avery and Declan. They've been friends since college and currently roommates. But when that spark that was hidden between the surface of their relationship ignites, everything changes for them!

There is a good reason why these two are best friends. They have a lot in common and really get each other. And there's also a good reason why neither of them do a serious romantic relationship. Avery had her heart broken by Declan's friend and is happier spending her time at work rather than dating, and Declan... Declan has a lot of emotional baggage from family.

Their spark happens after Avery's car accident and it puts everything in motion between Avery and Declan. But moving beyond of best friends to lovers isn't an easy relationship.

Chasing Serenity (River Rain #1) by Kristen Ashley

Chasing Serenity, an all new sexy and swoony opposites attract standalone romance from New York Times bestselling author Kristen Ashley, is available now!

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kristen Ashley brings a new novel in her River Rain series…

From a very young age, Chloe Pierce was trained to look after the ones she loved.

And she was trained by the best.

But when the man who looked after her was no longer there, Chloe is cast adrift—just as the very foundation of her life crumbled to pieces.

Then she runs into tall, lanky, unpretentious Judge Oakley, her exact opposite. She shops. He hikes. She drinks pink ladies. He drinks beer. She’s a city girl. He’s a mountain guy.

Obviously, this means they have a blowout fight upon meeting. Their second encounter doesn’t go a lot better.

Judge is loving the challenge. Chloe is everything he doesn’t want in a woman, but he can’t stop finding ways to spend time with her. He knows she’s dealing with loss and change.

He just doesn’t know how deep that goes. Or how ingrained it is for Chloe to care for those who have a place in her heart, how hard it will be to trust anyone to look after her…

And how much harder it is when it’s his turn.

And Ms. Ashley does it again! Another great start to a new series - this is why she is one of my all-time favorite author.

Chasing Serenity had me hook at the beginning. It was great to get refresher of who was who and what had happened beforehand and it brought the story all together. Chloe Pierce and Judge Oakley are so opposite, but so right for each other. Sure on paper they aren't a match, but when they are together bickering and flirting, their chemistry is off the chart.

I will say Chloe did bother me at time with her bratty behavior, but I did like her character. And Judge, he was just about perfect as they get. Ms. Ashley knows how to make you fall for all her leading male characters.

Overall, this book is not only about finding your match and getting your HEA. But it's a lot about family, all the good and bad and secrets that come out, which really brings everyone together. There are many secondary characters (Chloe's siblings!) who I assume will get their chance to tell their story in future books...and seriously, I can't wait.

Code Name: Tiara by Sawyer Bennett

Add it to Goodreads

I joined Jameson Force Security for three reasons: the missions, the danger, and the money. I definitely didn’t join the team to be an overpriced babysitter for a spoiled princess. Ask anyone who knows me, and they’ll tell you Jackson Gale is an adventurer through and through. Yet here I am, halfway across the world, watching over Princess Camille of the House Winterbourne. Even her name sounds stuck up.

After arriving in Bretaria, I realize that Princess Camille is nothing that I expected. Beautiful, smart, and sophisticated, Camille is the very picture of elegance and grace. But under her perfect façade, she is funny, adventurous, sexy as hell, and impossible to resist. And that is a dangerous combination.

The closer Camille and I become, the more obvious it is that while she and I are compatible in many ways, our destinies are not. She has a duty to the monarchy, and I’m just an average American who’s fallen for a princess. Everyone says we can’t be together, but how does one walk away from the other half of their heart?

4 Stars

You just gotta love the men from the Jameson Force Security group and Jackson Gale is one of my favorite. Code Name: Tiara is a sexy fairytale that will have you wanting to be a Princess and finding your Prince. And that's exactly what Princess Camille, heir of Bretaria rubies, did in her security circle.

Jackson is a former tough Seal and he loves what he does - the thrill and the dangerous missions, but one thing he didn't want to sign up for...babysitting a spoiled princess (or he thought!). Princess Camille of Bretaria is next in line to take over - she's young, beautiful and a hard-worker, who loves her country and family. But she's not your typical Princess - she's down to earth, wants to cliff-dive with her friends and just live a normal twenty-something life.

Jackson and Camille develop a friendship that turns into a secret relationship over his time in protecting her. Jackson's main concern is making sure no threat gets near the Princess. As these two travel around, they slowly learn about each other and by his surprise, Princess Camille is not the stereotypical Royal as he thought.

The more time they spend together, the more time they fall. But can a normal commoner and her Royal Highness actually have a life together?

Overall, this book is a fun, charming and sexy read. I always look forward in reading about the Jameson men and protecting the women they fall for!
