Publisher Description
"Narrators Stella Bloom and Jason Clarke provide all the ingredients for the listener to have a love affair with Hunting's story." -AudioFile Magazine
Charming, hilarious, and emotional, Starry-Eyed Love is Helena Hunting at her very best!
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.

Slow Burn
The first time London Spark meets Jackson Holt it’s in a bar. He slips her his number, but she tells him up front she’s otherwise involved. End of story. Until a few months later when her family business is approached to work with a large corporation & the CEO is none other than her mystery man from the bar. There is definite chemistry between the two! I fully expected Jackson to break out all the swoony moves but when Landon gets up the nerve to ask him out he declines! She’s feels confused & embarrassed by the mixed signals but he is adamant about not dating someone who works for him even though he wants too. This was the perfect recipe for some heightened sexual tension and I love a slow burn. Sometimes the business & family dynamics overshadowed the romance, but I look forward reading the last sister’s book in the series.
If you can only read one book, let it be this one!
Listened to the whole book in 3 days. I couldn’t get enough. The characters are believable and the story fitting for our where we are as a society. Loved it!
Stars
Starry Eyed Love was a fun, sort of forbidden, sort of workplace romance. The Spark sisters are close and growing an amazing unique business. They are fun and funny and so devoted to each other.
I really like Jackson and London together. There was something about them that just made me want to root for them from the very first time they met. This story definitely had humor and a little angst but there were times that it was dragging and I admit, I skipped way more than a few pages to just get to the point.
I do want to read the next book in this series but if it were more than three, I'd probably stop reading.
