Title: Spark (Spark Series #1)
Author: Jennifer Ryder
Release Date: February 28, 2014
Synopsis
Not many people know that I, Eevie Lawson, have a problem. An addiction to romance novels. I eat them for breakfast. I hide it the best I can, but I need them to breathe. It’s how I cope.
I’ve had a swag of book boyfriends, but now that I’m free from the responsibility of caring for my three younger brothers, it’s time to find one in the flesh.
In real life, no girl meets their hero on page one, or even at the end of chapter one. I should know.
My journey is real. It’s not perfect, and it sure as hell isn’t easy—but the fight for something worthwhile never is.

What happens when sparks fly between two people, but they are never acted on because where they are in their lives won’t allow it?
For Eevie Lawson, it means she kisses some frogs before she reunites with her prince…Aidan Stone, the one who ignites her heart with a simple look and the one who seems intent on putting Eevie’s book boyfriends on the shelf for good.
Eevie’s past few years have been filled with taking care of her brothers and her mother. She never regretted putting them first, but it left little time for anything else, especially a social life. Enter Brayden, Rush, Travis, Woods, and many other book boyfriends to fill her void, but even her “men” can’t help her find her way through the chaos in her life. The men Eevie tries to find a connection with, Jon and Alex, are definitely not the ones for her, but her lack of experience leads her to make bad decision after bad decision until it’s finally the right time for her and Aidan to see if the spark they have can ignite into something else. Will Eevie finally get her ultimate book boyfriend or will incidences out of their control smother their flames?
Eevie is a fantastic heroine. She’s strong yet vulnerable…sassy yet timid. She’s an endearing character because she’s the girl next door…she’s like many of the women reading romance novels, searching for what’s missing in their lives. She makes mistakes and struggles to understand others’ actions as well as her own choices, but she keeps moving forward, putting one step in front of the other, despite all the hardships her and her mother and brothers face.
Aidan Stone is a swoon worthy book boyfriend. The chemistry between Aidan and Eevie is electric, even from the beginning, but it takes quite some time for them to start a relationship. Once they get together, it is hot and heavy, but there seems to be more to Aidan than readers realize, so I can’t wait to see what Jennifer Ryder has in store for her readers in Spike.
Spark was a bit slow for me in the beginning…I constantly kept wondering what Eevie saw in Jon and Alex for that matter. I felt teased by Aidan’s early introduction and then he was gone. I know Eevie needed to experience life, and it wasn’t there time yet, but I guess like Eevie, it’s hard to be without your book boyfriends! I really enjoyed the book. Eevie and Aidan’s friends are a great addition to the story…the way Cassie and Crystal have Eevie’s back is exactly the kind of friendship every girl needs. There’s steamy scenes, witty banter, and enough angst to keep you reading until the very end. This is a great debut novel…definitely worth the read.
