One Small Spark by Genny Carrick: Book Review

 **ARC received for consideration. All opinions are my own. 

The Book

Nemesis: the inescapable agent of one’s downfall. See also Shepherd Callahan.

I can’t escape Callahan. Believe me, I’ve tried.

Ever since he opened his bike shop next door to my family’s bakery, the broody man’s been unavoidable. Whether he’s sauntering into our store to ask pointed questions about our pies or stealing my favorite parking spot, he’s skilled at getting under my skin.

He even schemed his way into the exclusive romance book club that finally issued me an invitation. The ladies there love him—and seem convinced I should love him, too.

Fat chance. I have my reasons for loathing the man, I don’t care how many romantic books he reads.

When I accidentally learn his secrets, I find myself developing an unwelcome soft spot for my supposed nemesis. He’s kinder and more protective than I ever guessed, and I’m drawn to him in ways I don’t care to admit.

My default is sour, not sweet. I don’t swoon, I snark. I can’t open myself up to him, even if I’m starting to want to.

But when he kisses me like his life depends on it? My downfall is inevitable.

One Small Spark is a one-sided enemies to lovers rom-com with fade to black steam but only kisses on the page. The Love in Sunshine books can be enjoyed in any order.

The Author

Genny Carrick is a fool for happily ever afters, especially if there's a whole lot of laughter along the way. She writes rom-coms about sassy women, the cinnamon roll men who fall for them, and swoony moments outdoors whenever she possibly can.

After a quick detour in Texas, Genny recently returned to the Pacific Northwest, and lives with her brilliant husband and two hilarious kids.

Book Review

A broody, tattooed MMC who also reads romance novels? What could be better than that? Right from the start, Shepherd and Wren absolutely drew me in. Since overhearing a conversation from him years earlier, Wren has considered him biggest enemy. Shepherd on the other hand has no such feelings, instead finding excuses to see her and get under her skin. So, all the banter and sass I love in an enemies to lovers PLUS all the pining!? Um, yes, please! Throw in a meddling book club and their crazy (and not at all subtle) antics, and I absolutely couldn't put this one down! The chemistry between these two was flying off the pages and that first kiss? So, so good! This one had me smiling right from the start and I absolutely couldn't get enough... it was another amazing addition to the series, and I loved every moment. 

One Small Spark is a closed-door romance with fade to black/implied intimacy. It does have some innuendo and minimal minor language as well. It is the fourth book in the Love in Sunshine series. While those who have read the previous books will see some familiar characters, I do think this could be enjoyed as a standalone as well.
