 📖 I received a gifted e-book ARC. The following is my honest review✍🏻

Spark is a dual POV friends-to-lovers rockstar romance. Kendrick has had a crush on his bandmate Ruby since they were 16, but has never been able to act on it, partly for fear of ruining their friendship. But when circumstances align that push the two together, he decides to take a chance and see if he can light a spark in Ruby that will grow into the love he’s hoping for!

What another fun book from the Lauren Rowe universe! It was fun to see familiar characters and to dive into Kendrick and Ruby’s story. I have a soft spot for friends to lovers so this was especially fun!

She’s my best friend. And I want her.

Ruby’s my best friend and bandmate. The sister of my good friend, too. Which makes her “triple off-limits” to me. I’d even say she’s like a sister to me, if it weren’t for the unbrotherly dreams I’ve had about her since age sixteen.

But when Ruby drunkenly kisses me at a party to piss off her ex, the spark I’ve been working hard to snuff out for years bursts into a raging pyre. And now, I can’t stop obsessing about that kiss and yearning for another one.
In fact, after The Kiss That Changed Everything, I’m now determined to do whatever it takes to make Ruby mine, even at the risk of burning my whole world down.

Spark is a complete standalone, best friends to lovers, forced proximity, rockstar romance.
