Synopsis
Having just broken up with her boyfriend, London Spark is not in the mood to be hit on. Especially not when she’s out celebrating her single status with her sisters. So when a very attractive man pays for their drinks and then slips her his number, she passes it right back to him with a ‘thanks, but no thanks’. As the business administrator for their family’s event hotel, the Spark House, London has more important things to worry about, like bringing in new clientele.
As luck would have it, a multi-million-dollar company calls a few months later asking for a meeting to discuss a potential partnership, and London is eager to prove to her sisters, and herself, that she can land this deal. Just when she thinks she has nailed her presentation, the company’s CEO, Jackson Holt, walks in and inserts himself into the meeting. Not only that, but he also happens to be the same guy she turned down at the bar a few months ago.
As they begin to spend more time together, their working relationship blossoms into something more. It isn’t until their professional entanglements are finally over, that London and Jackson are finally ready to take the next step in their relationship. But between Jackson’s secretive past and London’s struggle with her sisters, London must question where she really stands – not just with Jackson, but with the Spark House, too.

Review
Starry-Eyed Love was cute, but it seemed a little unoriginal.
I liked London. She was kind and creative, and I felt for her having to work with her family. She tries to keep the peace and live the life she wants to live. I have to admit the sisters’ relationship was maybe my least favorite thing about the book. I found Avery to be very off-putting, and admittedly I hadn’t read her book, so perhaps I would have liked her more if I had. Jackson was a pretty one-dimensional character. I felt like much of what we knew of him was more told to us than shown, even though we do get his POV chapters.
I did feel like Jackson and London did have some great chemistry. I loved their flirting, and I liked them together. However, I was annoyed that the conflict could have easily been solved if Jackson had just been more forthcoming with London. I also didn’t love how against London Jackson’s friends seemed to be for what didn’t seem like a great reason.
Overall this book was okay. It was cute and entertaining, but I’ve read better.
