The Spark Between Us by Stacy Travis

Thank you to Social Butterfly PR for sending me an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.  All thoughts are my own and the review below can also be found on my Goodreads .  Sarah and Braden are so cute!    Sparks are definitely flying between these two new roommates, and their chemistry is undeniable.  I do think some more dimension could have been added to the characters - Braden’s personality is essentially a caring firefighter dog-dad while Sarah’s is genius workaholic and good cook.    However, it works for them and while readers primarily know only surface trivia about these two, we do deal with some of their deeper issues as well.

 Thank you to Social Butterfly PR and Sarah Ready for sending me an e-ARC of this book to read and review!  Below are my honest thoughts, which can also be found on my Goodreads profile.

 Thank you to Social Butterfly PR and Kristen Ashley for sending me an e-ARC of this book to read and review!  Below are my honest thoughts, which can also be found on Goodreads . Chloe Pierce and Judge Oakley should not fit. Chloe is a cunning socialite and entrepreneur. Judge is a mountain man who works with a non-profit. When they first meet, they clash hard. But with all collisions come sparks, and it doesn’t take much to fan them into flames - especially when Judge is having so much fun figuring out the challenge of being what Chloe needs, and Chloe fits into his plans like she does everything else… effortlessly. But there is a lot for these two to discover about each other, and more challenges ahead.  These characters are so dynamic and the writing allows readers the chance to really get in their heads and get to know them. Chloe and Judge click like two puzzle pieces in each of their interactions and their relationship shows how suited they really are. Despite being opposites at
