Description

Charming, hilarious, and emotional, Starry-Eyed Love is Helena Hunting at her very best!

Having just broken up with her boyfriend, London Spark is not in the mood to be hit on. Especially not when she’s out celebrating her single status with her sisters. So when a very attractive man pays for their drinks and then slips her his number, she passes it right back to him with a ‘thanks, but no thanks’. As the business administrator for their family’s event hotel, the Spark House, London has more important things to worry about, like bringing in new clientele.

As luck would have it, a multi-million-dollar company calls a few months later asking for a meeting to discuss a potential partnership, and London is eager to prove to her sisters, and herself, that she can land this deal. Just when she thinks she has nailed her presentation, the company’s CEO, Jackson Holt, walks in and inserts himself into the meeting. Not only that, but he also happens to be the same guy she turned down at the bar a few months ago.

As they begin to spend more time together, their working relationship blossoms into something more. It isn’t until their professional entanglements are finally over, that London and Jackson are finally ready to take the next step in their relationship. But between Jackson’s secretive past and London’s struggle with her sisters, London must question where she really stands - not just with Jackson, but with the Spark House, too.

    ARC for honest review with no compensation Received from NetGalley, St Martins Press 4.5 stars Starry Eyed Love is book 2 in the Spark House series by Helena Hunting and so glad to be back with the Spark sisters. Up next is London Spark and Jackson Holt. They met months ago only they never connected in the right way until she is asked for a business meeting to discuss a partnership and who walks in on the meeting but the CEO, Jackson Holt, the man she turned down months ago… Secrets, family issues, laughter, friends turn into lovers, mixed signals, wedding planning mixed in and so much more. We need book 3 now…lol.

    I really love this series. Jackson and London’s chemistry is on fire as well as their banter. I enjoyed how they developed a friendship and how that evolves into something more. This one will grab you from the beginning and have you rooting for them until the end.

    It was cute and I really enjoyed it. Finished it in one day. Both characters were charismatic and realistic. I loved the crossover of characters of the shacking up series which I absolutely adore.

    I really enjoyed this story and read it in almost one sitting. London helps run Spark House with her sisters. When they get an opportunity to work with a multi-million dollar media company, they jump at the chance for an interview. Needless to say, when London meets the CEO, she is surprised to find this is the same man who asked her out a few months ago at a bar that she turned down. Jackson, like London, have had tragedy in their pasts and haven’t been looking for love, but as they start to work on this project they grow closer even though “they aren’t dating”. This is a billionaire trope, but unlink many, Jackson is a down to earth guy. I loved their slow burn that leads to some steamy scenes. This is a feel good book with low angst. I also loved seeing some old friends from Helena Hunting’s Shaking Up series who made appearances throughout the book.

    Starry-Eyed Love (Spark House #2) by Helena Hunting I was hopelessly devoted in love with Starry-Eyed Love. I couldn’t put this phenomenal, engaging and fun book down. I adore this author’s style of writing and I loved both London Spark and Jackson Holt. And being back at Spark House with the Spark sisters was so exciting, refreshing charming, as well as frustrating at times. You will love how close these sisters have become as they work together to grow their amazing family business. London Spark is the middle sister and so creative she even has an Etsy store on the side. She has just broken up with her latest boyfriend and is out celebrating her new single status with her sisters Avery and Harley. When an attractive man pays for their food and drink and slips London his phone number, but she turns him down flat. Fast forward a few months later a multi-million dollar company calls and asks for a meeting to learn more about Spark House. They want to see if it would be a good addition to their network, since they are seeking out more family-run companies like Spark House. During the meeting, the company’s CEO Jackson Holt, enters after London has started her presentation. Eventually she is floored when she realizes that although he looks different, he is the man that she rejected at the bar a few months ago. And now she and Spark House could really use his help. Jackson Holt is usually a strictly professional business man who is against romance with colleagues, but the chemistry between him and London is hard for him to get past. But, he knows from experience to not mix business with pleasure and he stays away until their business has concluded. But then he is dropping by and supporting her in every way and in everything she is involved with. And their spark soon is quite the flame as he uses everything at his disposal to woo the woman that has captured his attention. I loved the slow burn chemistry between London and Jackson. I was a goner for him and his caring and loving ways. This story was sweet, romantic, charming, delicious, hot and totally swoon worthy. A story that kept me fully entertained from start to finish. Leaving me with a wide grin on my face and a happy heart. I can’t wait to see what’s next in the wonderful Spark House Series. I received a copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley.
  • Amazing book!!

    I loved reading about London. She is very smart and knows what she is doing even though at times she thought she failed her and her sisters. When she meets the CEO Jackson Holt, she treated him like another human being not a rich billionaire. My hopes were for them together. I liked that it was friendship first and just didn't start with a relationship. I love the chase with these two. He already thought London was special when first seeing her. I love how he was helping the sisters with their business by providing clients. I highly recommend this book. It was another great read Helena Hunting. I can't wait to read about their other sister, Harley.

    This is a wonderful heart warming story. It’s about three sisters and their inherited B+B. It showed you the ups and downs that go with sisterly love. Also a wonderful Romance between Jackson and London. We get to see two people that thought they never wanted a romance fall in love.

    London Sparks is the middle Sparks sisters. She is the peacemaker and caregiver in the family. London is out with her sisters celebrating her breakup with her boyfriend when a handsome man pays for the sisters tab and asks London out. London rejects his request. Fast forward several months, and Holt Media contacts Spark House about a partnership. Of course, the guy she rejected happens to be the CEO of Holt Media, Jackson Holt. Jackson is a self made Billionaire who is thrilled that he is working with London, but that means she is off limits. I loved Jackson, he is a loyal friend, a nice guy and is principled. London was a little less easy to warm up too. She is neurotic and a bit of a doormat when it comes to her family. I also loved that you had cameo appearances from characters of the Shacking Up series. I had a similar issue with this book that I had with the first book. There is the inevitable issue that threatens the happily ever after of the couple in the story, I want the issue to not be solved too quickly, or take too long, but the Goldilocks’ just right amount of time. In both of these books, I thought that it belabored this issue. Overall, this is an enjoyable book and I cannot wait for the third sister, Harley’s book. I received an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley and the author for my honest review.
  • Great book!
