Review: Spark

Spark by Gillian Archer
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Three and a half stars.

I haven't read the two previous books in the series but that didn't cause an issue as each one appears to be a stand-alone romance featuring one of the four Burns brothers or, in this case, their cousin Sabrina. The four guys run a custom bike shop called Badass Builds where Sabrina is the accountant and they have a very successful reality TV show based on the shop.

Sabrina and Logan were hot and heavy until he left to spend the summer fire jumping and almost died, his best friend did die. Now, two years later Logan is back but he's wracked with guilt and ashamed of his scars.

There was a good plot and interesting story in this novel but it felt like we had to go through several different genres to get there. First we had Logan acting like a jerk and ghosting Sabrina. Then, not five minutes later (okay like a day or two) the two of them are getting hot and heavy, so apparently he wasn't very good at following his own rules. Then we had what felt like heavy petting/sex scene after sex scene, no plot development, on the plus side Logan had stopped acting and talking like a extra from Sons of Anarchy. Finally, after the compulsory sex scenes we actually got some plot.

I think if I had to rate this book I would say two stars for the first 25%, three stars for the middle and maybe four stars for the end, but I can't be that specific so I've gone with a three, verging on three and a half stars. I would definitely be interested in reading another in the series to see what happens next.

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.
