Spark

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.

So So Good!!!

Listen, my family thought I’d lost it. I listened to this through my headphones, and when I tell you Chapter 22 almost took me Out!!🤣 I could not catch my breath, I laughed, and laughed, and laughed, so much so I was dizzy!!🥴😂I liked to had lost all oxygen to my brain😄 so so Funny! I Loved this best friends to lovers Romance Story, and the soundtrack was Awesome too. I enjoyed this being a duet, Hearing all the characters really bought this story to Life!! Loved It!!

One of my favorite audios of the year!

After reading/listening to this amazing story. I can now say it’s by far my favorite Rockstar Romance to date! It was beautifully written and it’s the first audio I’ve ever listened to that had the actual songs and music playing throughout the book! (And I’ve listened to a lot of audios) I devoured this book. I’d say I’m literally obsessed! 🤩 currently adding Lauren’s entire backlog of books to my TBR!

Kendrick meets Ruby in high school and is attracted to her. He wants to spend more time with her so he invites her to audition to be in his band. His brother is hesitant about letting her join them because well she’s a girl potentially joining a band with three other guys! That could potentially rip the band apart. So Kendrick, his brother Kai and other bandmate savage make a pact. Ruby can join them only if she’s off limits to all of them. So she’s destined to be their “little sister”. Ruby and her brother Titus both join the band and they all become very popular. Fast forward 12 years and Kendrick is still completely and utterly obsessed with Ruby. He’s never told anyone. And Ruby is hiding a secret of her own. She’s also very interested in him. Throughout those 12 years neither Ruby nor Kendrick have ever got serious about anyone else. He’s her best friend and he didn’t want to ruin the relationship they share if she didn’t reciprocate his feelings. After some sneaky plans Kendrick has Ruby right where he wants her. Sharing his house and his bed with her. So he plans to seize the opportunity and make her fall in love with him just like he loves her. Do these two best friends/bandmates have what it takes to rock it out the rest of their lives together? Read to find out! 💕

I swear Kendrick must be a saint because he waited 12 years to make his move to try and get the woman of his dreams. They share such a close connection and bond. The dedication and love was unmatched.

Highly recommend this read! Definitely do an immersive read because this audio was everything and more! And I’ll just say the spice was definitely spic-ing!!!

Some of my favorite quotes:

I dreamed a snake chased me off a cliff! 🤭(if you know you know)

I’d burn down every world for you, in every galaxy, in every lifetime!

I’m a slave to this woman’s body, every bit as much as I’m a slave to her heart. Her soul. Her smile. Her laugh.
Why? Because I’m deeply, madly, irrevocably, and infinitely in love with Ruby Margaret Connolly. Addicted to her. Desperate for her. God help me, I was born to love this woman. She’s the one. And there’s no option for me, other than making her mine, through any means necessary.

Thank you Lauren Rowe and Hambright PR for this ARC and ALC!

Luv luv luv this. Multiple narrators, duet narration, and real songs. I love all of Laurens Rocker books! 🎸🔥❤️

I LOVED this one by Lauren Rowe. It’s set in same world w/ her other rock stars but mainly the characters from Love/Hate Duet Layla and Savage. This book is about Savage’s bandmates Kendrick and Ruby. It’s so sweet, 🔥, and funny. Savage and Layla make a good amount of appearances and some other bands members are sprinkled in as well as Reed Rivers.
This one also has great music. I’m surprised how well the songs turn out that is in these books! they’re very catchy.

I hope she makes books for Titus and Kia and Miranda (CBombs (red card riot in other book) sister.
I also think it might be neat to have a book with two contestants on the TV show Sing Your Heart Out that Savage and Layla help coach and Kendrick and Ruby are assistant coaches.
I think that would be fun!
Can’t wait for more in the rockstar “family of friends” Lauren has created!

2nd only to Swoon

Love, love, loved it. Brilliantly written and beautifully performed. It was swoony and heartfelt.

Full Cast Duet!!

I loved the dialogue. I wish all stories were narrated in duet. This story was entertaining from beginning to end. The cast of narrators were excellent.
