“Helena Hunting is quickly making her way as one of the top voices in romance”--RT Reviews
When Sparks Fly, an all-new emotional and hilarious friends-to-lovers standalone romance from New York Times bestselling author Helena Hunting is available now!
Charming, hilarious, and emotional...When Sparks Fly is Helena Hunting at her very best!
Avery Spark is living her best life. Between her friends, her sisters, and Spark House, the event hotel her family owns, she doesn’t have much time for anything else, especially relationships. She’d rather hang out with her best friend and roommate, Declan McCormick, than deal with the dating scene. But everything changes when she is in a car accident and needs someone to care for her as she heals.
Declan avoids relationships, giving him a playboy reputation that he lives up to when he puts a one-night stand ahead of a promise he made to Avery. While he may not have been the one driving the car, he feels responsible for Avery’s injuries and is determined to make it up to her by stepping into the role of caretaker.
Little did they know that the more time they spend in compromising positions, the attraction they’ve been refusing to acknowledge becomes impossible to ignore. When they finally give in to the spark between them, neither is prepared for the consequences. Their love is fragile and all it will take is a blow from the past to shatter it all.

This story was interesting, but the pacing was a little off for me and meandered along. Avery and Declan were okay characters to me that I neither loved nor hated. There is also a seperation near the end, which I never like and feel stops all relationship momentum. But, ultimately, what kept this book from being really good was the lack of chemistry. The couple was so comfortable and brother-sister like, before their relationship took a sharp turn that came out of nowhere. The way they first become physical with each other comes off as Declan doing Avery a favor and not because of any attraction. In fact, I didn't feel any sort of attraction between them at all, no chemistry or anything beyond friendship vibes. I did believe that they really loved each other as best friends, but maybe that was too convincing because I never thought they fit romantically. I didn't feel any strong emotions about their story. Still, I liked the set up in this book. Avery's two sisters seemed fun characters, with all of them working together at a family event venue. I hope to see them both get books of their own at some point.
Overall, this was an okay read. It was entertaining in general, even if it wasn't my favorite Helena Hunting book. Friends to lovers is a tricky trope for me to love and I wasn't quite convinced here. Still, I enjoyed the story in general and look forward to more from Ms. Hunting in the future!
