SYNOPSIS: Avery Spark is living her best life. Between her friends, her sisters, and Spark House, the event hotel her family owns, she doesn’t have much time for anything else, especially relationships. She’d rather hang out with her best friend and roommate, Declan McCormick, than deal with the dating scene. But everything changes when she is in a car accident and needs someone to care for her as she heals.
Declan avoids relationships, giving him a playboy reputation that he lives up to when he puts a one-night stand ahead of a promise he made to Avery. While he may not have been the one driving the car, he feels responsible for Avery’s injuries and is determined to make it up to her by stepping into the role of caretaker.
Little did they know that the more time they spend in compromising positions, the attraction they’ve been refusing to acknowledge becomes impossible to ignore. When they finally give in to the spark between them, neither is prepared for the consequences. Their love is fragile and all it will take is a blow from the past to shatter it all.

BOOK REVIEW:
I love a romance with realistic characters with relatable lives and real world problems. Avery and Declan have been friends since their college days but have never crossed the line into a romantic relationship. Their friendship has survived alot, even Avery dating Declan's best friend and it going up in flames in college couldn't shake it.
I thought Avery was an excellent character, instantly likeable. Her relationships with her sisters was really lovely and I hope they both get their own books. I loved how Avery and Declan's relationship evolved, it developed very naturally and was completely believable. And really easy to root for. Even though much of this book was light in tone, it did tackle some serious issues. Declan has his demons, and unresolved issues from his past and I liked how it was handled. It wasn't brushed off and he really puts in the work to heal. I have read a few Helena Hunting books now and they have always been fun and entertaining. Now I have another to add to my list!
