BLOG TOUR- SPARK BY JENNIFER RYDER(SPARK SERIES #1)


 
Title: Spark (Spark Series #1)
Author: Jennifer Ryder
Release Date: February 28, 2014
 
 
 
Not many people know, that I, Eevie Lawson, have a problem. An addiction. To Romance novels. I eat them for breakfast. I hide it the best I can, but I need them. To breathe. It’s how I cope.

I have a swag of book boyfriends, but now I’m free of the responsibility of caring for my three younger brothers, it’s time to find one in the flesh.

In real life, no girl meets their hero on page one, or even chapter one. I should know.

My journey is real. It’s not perfect, and it sure as hell isn’t easy. But the fight for something worthwhile never is.

***MY REVIEW***



I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

When I read the synopsis of 'Spark' I was fascinated with the story. Turns out the book lived up to everything that I was expecting. This story was brilliant, sexy, hot, heart-breaking, everything that is good mixed up in one pot.(yes I said pot lol)

I have to be honest, half way into the book I had put a full stop on it. 
Not because I didn't love the book but I wanted to stalk the author while I was reading . I followed Jennifer on every social media site she was on. I instantly fell in love with her writing and she has officially gain a new fan. Enough of my rambling but here is why I adored this novel and rated this book 4.5 Stars.

We are introduced to Eevie, a 20 year old girl who was selfless, funny and caring. Eevie moved out of her parent's home because she wanted to experience life after having to take care of her family for so many years. Despite feeling guilty about leaving her family, Eevie is set to make it on her own(with a roommate of course).  Did I mention that Eevie is addicted to Romance Novels? She mentioned some of my all time favourite book boyfriends and I loved that we shared the same crushes*sigh*.  I loved that this story was so different and I could see myself in Eevie shoes most of the time.

 Her best friend Jon at first glanced appeared to be a sweet, caring and loving. Jon's part in this story is that he threw a curve ball at Eevie and gave her an ultimatum. What the ultimatum is? you will have to read to find out!!

Eevie being a little naïve and afraid of losing her best friend goes along with this ultimatum even though she knew it could never work. We see their friendship tested and Eevie's reaction to the entire situation.

I liked that she went through a few relationships in this book . It's not the usually see a hot guy at the bar and then instantly fall in love with him. We saw the broken girl she really was. She had a lack of self confidence at times and also possessed a gift which she did not seem to value at first. She also tried her damn hardest to give this gift away.  At this point in the story I wanted to trip her a few times but eventually she woke up and realized it isn't all rainbows and sexy book boyfriends when it comes to real relationships.

Until she meets Aidan Stone.......

Both Aidan and Eevie were instantly drawn to each other from the moment they met. There were a few situations in their path that stop them from being together initially.

Aidan! Aidan! Aidan! boy did I love this guy. Aidan was hot, successful, caring, supportive and I can go on for days about this hot stud. If I were to talk about the sex scenes, I might need another page or two to describe my feelings and the scale of hotness required lol. I also loved that Aidan was strong enough to  stood by Eevie's side when everything around her fell apart.
Jennifer did an excellent job throwing in curve balls and as usually I used a few chose words.

This book was just an emotional roller-coaster of love, heart-break and putting the pieces back together.
By no means am I saying that this book was perfect because at times I wanted to pull Eevie by her hair and tell her to man up.  Overall, I enjoyed this book and will say it is a must read.
You will enjoy it!!
