My review: 4.25⭐
Book 2 of the Spark House trilogy follows London and Jackson.
London is in charge of business planning at the Spark House. When she gets a call to meet with Holt Media the sisters are thrilled for the opportunity to bring more business to the hotel. She wasn’t expecting the owner of the company, Jackson, to be the man that she declined a date with 3 months prior.
Jackson is a self made billionaire and owner of Holt Media. He’s mostly down to earth and not overly billionaire~ish, expect he does frequent his private jet back and forth from NY to CO a little too much for someone who’s into being green.
I always enjoy the dual POV writing. London and Jackson were both lovable characters. And I really liked that London also has a side business on Etsy. Although she’s fully committed to being in business with her sisters she doesn’t want it to fully engulf her life and be 24/7. Which is understandable since she has a hottie she can’t get enough of. Side bar ~ Avery was awful in this one, I definitely enjoyed her more in her own story.
We dive more into the hotel in this one, than we did in book 1, which was nice. It’s a slow burn romance since they had a working relationship for a few months before they gave into their temptations. I liked that they didn’t want to muddy the waters.
I listened to this one back to back with book 1 with the same narrators. Although Jason Clarke & Stella Bloom did a fine job again, I do wish there were a different set of narrators since these were different characters.
I am really looking forward to the final book Make a Wish, Harley’s story, but I am sad I will have to wait until January 2023! for it’s release.

Paperback Starry-Eyed Love at Booksamillion.com.Book blurb:
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.
Charming, hilarious, and emotional, Starry-Eyed Love is Helena Hunting at her very best!
