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

***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!!
You will enjoy it!!
**FAVOURITE QUOTES**
“My ever-growing
collection of romance novels are piled high in stacks in the corner.
As soon as I have enough spare cash, ill treat them to new
bookshelf. Its the least I can do for my babies”
“ Fire could burst form
my mouth. And I wish it would , so I could incinerate this prick to a
crisp”
“ To create a wildfire,
all it takes is a spark”
"Do you know how long I've
wanted you? Wanted to taste these lips?”
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’ve had a swag of book boyfriends, but now that I’m free from 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 at the end of 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.
