Spark by S.L. Scott

Blurb

One break is all The Crow Brothers need and we’re about to get it.

Johnny Outlaw, rock legend and lead singer of The Resistance, is here to watch us play. But he’s not the only familiar face in the crowd—killer little body, heart-shaped face, and drop-dead gorgeous.

Hannah Nichols sitting at the bar makes it hard to concentrate, sparks already reigniting. The beauty was never a groupie and tonight she’s not here to catch our show. She came to drop a bomb. “You have a son.”

She underestimated me. I’ll prove to my son, and her, that I can be the dad he needs.

What is it about musicians? Why are they so damn sexy?

My heart was Jet Crow’s the moment he opened his sexy mouth and sang that first song. One stolen night with that man would never be enough, but I’m not here to fall into his bed. Again. I’m here to fight for custody of a son he’s never known.

There’s just one problem. Those sparks between us have become flames. If we’re not careful we’re both going to get burned.

 

 MY REVIEW

 Spark, the first in a new series from one of my favorite authors, S.L. Scott & sweet lord was this worth the wait.  Hitting the ground running, I couldn't put this book down.  Jet is a hard working, up & coming musician & eldest brother to his band mates, The Crow Brothers Band.    Hannah is a young, beautiful girl who's working to overcome a past full of secrets, with struggles & burdens to bare.  Neither of them could have known that their lives would become tangled in such an unusual way, that they'd have so much more in common than one amazing night.

Set in Austin Texas, & told in first person, from dual perspectives, with flashbacks thorough out, this book holds a spectrum of emotion I wasn't expecting from a rock band contemporary romance "...beautiful complicated emotions."  Heartfelt "...loves fiercely...", "Sultry. Sexy." as hell "...the spark that kindled the flame", funny as all get out "Good grief, this kid." & a tear jerking story of survival, overcoming loss & the anguish that comes with it, to learn how to live again & put what is important in life in perspective.  "Time together is more important. ... Love. ...Family. That's most important." With surprising twists & betrayals before it's all said & done, expect an ultimate love story that shines on the beauty of the undying love of a mother - who will always give all.  To ensure a boy is "Loved. Cherished. Affirmed."  "I want his future to be full of hope and full of choices."  Appreciation for a family you are born with "They're happy and the best friends and brothers a guy could ask for, even if disorderly and sometimes embarrassing." & "...who we choose regardless of relation, blood, or bone." Asking the ultimate question...
"There's no being careful when it comes to love. You're either willing to fall in the moment or the opportunity passes you by. What will you do, wildflower?"

Although probably completely politically incorrect, I think Jet just made smoking sexy again.  I loved the bond between brothers, the boundless strength of a woman "Beautiful and brave." & of a boy with a heart big enough for all of them  "I didn't make ramen noodles. Since we're in life together, I can make them tomorrow." 

Who do I need to talk to in order to give this book MORE than 5 stars?

 

"Dreaming doesn't cost a thing, so I'll keep doing it."

 

One of my absolute all time favorites!
