Spark

By: Lauren Rowe

Narrated by: Samantha Brentmoor, Austin Stone, Connor Crais, John Lane, Sean Masters, Tim Paige

She’s my best friend. And I secretly 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.

Enjoyable

I love all LR books and this didn’t disappoint. Although, this was not a favorite. I adore their friendship, but this book didn’t excite me like I thought it would. My favorite stories are still Captain and Reed River. All of these characters are still my favorite stores that I reread all the time.

So good!

This book can absolutely be enjoyed as a stand alone. It will be even more special if you have read Lauren's other books to have an appreciation of the secondary characters. They are all awesome!

pretty cute 😍

this was pretty cute story. I loved the audiobook. the way you get to listen to the music is so cool.

OMG I LOVED IT!

All I can say is this was an amazing read/listen. For me it is one of those books I wish I could read/listen to again! I’m trying to write this review right after I finished and know I am not giving it the justice it deserves! This was my first book by author Lauren Rowe and I know I will be looking her other books to read asap! This rock 🎸 star, off-limits, longing, best friends to lovers story was amazing!!! I love how the main characters- MMC and FMC grew together and started figuring out their love on their own. And the song (swoon worthy). I totally enjoy this story and the audio was AMAZING!!! The music that the band played was actually in the audiobook and was a first, it brought this audio to another level! This is a must read/listen 💯 %!!!
You won’t regret it! SPARK 🔥 IS 100% a 10 out of 10 read/listen for me!!
I mean hello it has as the main narrator’s Samantha Brentmoor as Ruby-we all know she is the Queen 👸🏻
Austin Stone-which I have loved him since The Love you fight for-he was so swoony and amazing
And as an added bonus there is the one and only Connor Crais, John Lane, Tim Paige, and Sean Masters. This is one you will not regret!

Kendrick & Ruby were perfection.

Sweet, sweet Kendrick finally gets his HEA 😍😍 for all my golden retriever lovers, he’s something special, but BOY did that spice surprise the crap out of me 🥵

Lauren Rowe never misses for me. I’m such a fan of her rockstar romances. They give you all the feels, the spice, the pining, the want, the desire, all of it. There’s so much depth in these characters. How they get to where they are. I love it.

I will ALWAYS recommend the audio versions of these books. There’s original music that seriously gives this book an extra edge in my opinion. The fact that I got to listen to Savage Love by Laila featuring Savage made me scream!!! (IYKYK)

I love that these stories are interconnected. You meet all the characters on the Reed Rivers Trilogy and work your way through the stories of the characters. It’s so special and a big reason why I love these books so much!!

Ruby and Kendrick are so dang sweet. Their friendship from the beginning has been one of my favorites. They’re ride or die friends and have been since they were in school. But to see them finally admit their feelings?! 🤯 SO WORTH THE WAIT!

The banter in these books are amazing as well. I cracked up so many times while listening. Kendrick and Savage’s friendship is hilarious. I can’t ever get enough of it!!

I highly recommend this book to those who love rockstar romances with the best banter, all the feelings, and the best friendships ever. I cannot wait for more!
