When Sparks Fly (Spark #2)
by
Autumn Dawn (Goodreads Author)
Polaris just got a little hotter. — Perhaps it was his wild black hair and indigo eyes, or maybe it was his enigmatic aura, but there was something about Hyna Blue that drew Gem. The man had clearly done hard labor, his cybernetic implants gave him increased strength, but he was no longer whole… -- and now he was getting drunk in her tavern.

I couldn't spend any more time with these characters before I felt the need to rip my hair out of my skull.
Gem is a bitch. She thinks she can do everything, all by herself. She's somehow judgmental while having the personality of a toaster oven. She lets her sister Brandy walk all over her and has no idea how to interact with a member of the opposite sex. And with two TSTL moments in the first 17% of the book, I just couldn't take her anymore.
Blue is a dick. I dunno what "ruined beauty" is, but...more

Good read, action-oriented futuristic romance. I read her No Words Alone sometime ago and really liked it - this book comes before that one on the chronology of the universe. The heroine from Words is just leaving home for the academy to become an explorer. [In the world of publishing, Words was published before this one.:]
Gem, the oldest Harrisdaughter, manages her inn and her family with precision, control, and formidable to-do lists. Enter Hyna Blue who seems to be a ne'er-do-well drifter wh...more

So the mixing pot of peoples on Polaris, we read about Xera's bossy feisty older sister, Gem Harrisdaughter. Gem falls for a wild dark man with indigo eyes, Hyna Blue. Gem runs the inn/tavern the Spark that her father built before passing away. Blue is one hot stubborn guy with a lot of baggage, so Gem has her work cut out for her.
It was tough to keep up with all the mystery and assassination attempts left and right and center, but it did keep the story exciting and fast paced. I read No Words A...more

I liked this book right away. The characters, the futuristic world and the romance was all very believable and well developed. The story surrounds three sisters running a very successful inn that is quickly the center for mayhem. The focus is more on the sparks flying between the oldest sister Gem and Hyna Blue, a sexy drifter who offers to be her bodyguard when someone starts attacking her and her sisters. She's the responsible, reserved and very inexperienced sister of the three and while the...more

Having placed "No Words Alone" on my keeper shelf, I was looking forward to what I thought was the 2nd installment about a trilogy of sisters set in the future on a world called Polaris.
First of all, this book, while published second, is actually the first chronologically. This is Gem's story. Her sisters are Xera (heroine of Now Words Alone) and Brandy. They run an inn/bar called The Spark, and that's about the only part of the book that's sparking for me. Multiple tropes that really weren't ev...more

Well developed world building in this enticing sci-fi/futuristic story. The descriptives are believable, as are the various secondary characters who give atmosphere to the read. The primary characters, Gem and Hyna are well suited, natural. There was a nice twist to the story; totally unexpected but plausible. It was an enjoyable read, and one I will re-read again.
From one of my favourite authors, this book was strangely unsatisfying.
This is book #2 yet it all happens prior to book #1. Now I knew this before I read it, still it just seemed wrong somehow.
On a planetoid far, far away 3 sisters are struggling & on the surface, managing to cope running an inn following the death of their father. Along comes our hero, Blue, unfortunately he is an undercover narc cop.

I don't really think it was a bad book. I just really couldn't get into the characters the way I did with Sparks Series, book one.
This should be Book 1 of the series. Some inconsistency with names. Generally not a bad read.
Enjoyable, but not as good as No Words Alone.
A good quick read.
Really good.
Loved it!
Fundamentalmente he tenido problemas con los personajes (ni uno me caía bien) y con la historia, que por momentos me parecía más que absurda, pero si quieres saber más detalles de porqué decidí abandonar este libro y la trilogía, no dudes en visitar mi blog:

I didn't feel the chemistry between the main characters and found the sisters annoying and unrealistic.

Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaçma, saçma. Git ortancadan başla seriye. Sonra evlendiğini duyduğumuz ilk kardeşi okut bize. Şu an şu dakika okuma hevesim kaçtı.
Book 2...Maybe shoulda been book 1...I'm just saying.
3.5 stars
Fun quick read.
