Sparks Still Fly is another sweet and steamy romance from Cristina Santos, who fyi does a phenomenal job at capturing the feeling of loving someone when you don’t want to. This second chance, right person wrong time, married in Vegas meets marriage of convenience was magical and delightful. The mommy issues were real with this one… I felt seen to say the least. 

So many things in this worked so well for me. From the two different time periods (in different parts of the book), to the forced proximity, to the small town vibes, it just served. The small moments between Owen and Maeve are everything to me. They’ve loved each other since they met all those years ago. 

Also, can we take a moment to praise the cover gods for this absolutely stunning cover.

Thank you to Cristina Santos for providing me with an e-ARC in exchange for my honest thoughts <3
