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.

I really enjoyed this book, which has lots of layers and plenty of romance.
Avery and her two sisters run an events hotel – Avery taking the lead in most
things. They are trying to do really well, so that they can restore the
fountain. Things take a turn for the worse when Avery is in an accident, and
everything becomes more complicated to achieve.
Declan considers himself to blame for Avery's accident, and so he promises to
do everything to make her life easier. They may share a home, but they have
stayed away from the burning attraction for years. He is right to blame himself
as he had a woman stay over the night before and let Avery down. I have to say
this act did not endear him to me at the beginning, but he works hard to make
things right.
You will need to read the goodness for yourself, but rest assured that things
change in a number of unexpected ways after the accident. Some things really
are unexpectedly funny, some very moving, and all leading to the happily ever
after which we all want to happen.
Helena Hunting has once again delivered a really engaging, sexy, sweet, and
satisfying read.

When Sparks Fly is a really good friends-to-lovers romance. Avery and
Declan are best friends and roommates and when Avery is in an accident, Declan
steps up and takes care of her and their relationship starts to change. The
romance is a bit of a slow-burn but the story isn’t slow at all, it was always
engaging and I think that is because Avery and Declan are good, fun people. I
really enjoyed spending time with them no matter what they were doing. They are
the kind of people I’d want to be friends with.
There were a few things about When Sparks Fly I particularly liked,
aside from Declan and Avery being a hot couple. One is that Avery and Declan
are just regular, everyday people living their lives, hanging out with friends,
and trying to move forth in their careers. Another is that Avery and Declan
ultimately deal with difficulties in their relationship like adults. This is
one of those rare romance novels where I didn’t feel that the drama was
overblown, and that the conflict was legitimate, and the resolution was
appropriate.
This was a great story and there are good times and bad times, and the ending
was fabulous. When Sparks Fly is the first Helena Hunting novel I’ve
read, and I now understand why Helena Hunting so popular. I’m definitely going
to take the time to go and check out some of her other work. She has a new fan
in me.
