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. I do with the author had dug a little further into their shared childhood - as Sarah’s brother’s best friend, I think Braden should have been a little more memorable and would have loved some interplay with that. 


Forced proximity is a favorite romance trope, and roommates just takes it up another level, so I was totally on-board with this story. I also really enjoyed how neither Braden or Sarah were what the other was expecting!  When they finally give in to the tension between them and fan the sparks into flames … it gets hot. But they also get to spend time with each other, and adding Bella into the mix just frames them in the picture of domesticity. Overall a great romance read!



The Spark Between Us, an all-new roommates to lovers, opposites attract standalone romance from author Stacy Travis is available now!

 

When I move to small town Carolwood, I don't expect to run into a hot-as-sin firefighter with smoldering gray eyes and eight-pack abs. Literally. With my car. Doesn't help matters that Braden Michaels is my brother's best friend. And my new roommate. 

 

 

He’s too busy putting out blazes and igniting them in the hearts of women to pay much attention to me. I’m just here for work—six months of nerding out at a world-renowned science lab, then going home to a nice promotion and the boring men in my comfort zone. 

 

I’m not here for a rescue fantasy, a fire station pole dance, or a romantic walk in a vineyard. I’m certainly not here to fall in love.

 

Until one earth-shattering night when we collide in a ball of white-hot sparks, and everything changes. We’re no longer just roommates. I don’t know what we are. But edging open Braden’s complicated heart knocks something loose in mine. All my plans and scientific facts start to pale in comparison with feelings I can’t control. 

 

My time here has an expiration date and neither one of us wants to get hurt. Rushing into a burning building seems less risky than chasing the spark between us. Maybe it’s smarter to walk away. Or maybe I've found the one reason to stay.

 

We'll either fall in love or we'll go down in flames.

 

The Spark Between Us is Sarah and Braden's story in the Berkeley Hills series and is an opposites attract STANDALONE novel.

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab

Image
  This book has had the book community buzzing since it came out, so I was excited when my turn finally came at the library. In this novel, Addie LaRue makes a deal with the old gods, and in return is cursed. No one can remember her, and she cannot tell them any truths about her life.   Over 300 years Addie finds ways to survive and continue living as something less than human but more than ghost.   And suddenly, she runs into someone she never expected - and he remembers her.   The writing is phenomenal in this book. The perspective flips through the years of Addie’s life, drawing out key moments and bringing the past forward when it unlocks a new moment in the narrative. Addie is delightful and stubborn and so artistic in her soul, leaving crumbs of her self in various “lives” she’s lived.   When presented with her curse and confronted with pain over and over again, she digs in and finds a way forward, something to look forward to, a new thing she’d like to se...

Reluctantly Yours by Erin Hawkins

 Thank you to Social Butterfly PR and Erin Hawkins for sending me an e-ARC of this book to read and review!  As always, this review is my honest opinion and can be found on my Goodreads profile as well as this blog. This story is great and the chemistry between Barrett and Chloe is a delight!  Enemies-to-lovers and fake dating are always a great combination of tropes and Erin Hawkins writes them very well. Even when we as readers have an inkling or two of how this is going to turn out in the end (it is a romance, after all), it feels fresh and exciting as we get to know the characters, their motivations, and the personalities that make them click so well.   I am a big character-driven reader and I really enjoyed reading both Chloe and Barrett's perspectives.  These character have dimensions that lend more  to  the story than just the romance, while also being delightfully attracted to each other and keeping the romance part of the book  adeq...
