A Spark of Romance

I really enjoyed Kayleigh and Liam’s story in A Spark of Romance by Jamie K Schmidt. This is a story of best friends, secretly crushing on each other, who grow up, go their own way, yet end up back in their small town; one as the Fire Chief and the other as the Police Chief. Fire Chief and former Army sergeant, Kayleigh Baker is determined to save Mulberry's annual Fourth of July fireworks display after a series of mishaps have cancelled it. The fireworks are a bittersweet memory of her mom and the displays she created before her death. Kayleigh also wants to recreate the summers she and her friends had when they were children. As the town prepares for the summer parade and picnic, Kayleigh has her work cut out if she is going to convince her former high school crush, now the police chief, to help her cause. Police Chief Liam MacAvoy is not a fan of the chaos the fireworks create for his department and is relieved when they are cancelled. When Kayleigh comes asking for his help he struggles with saying no to her. He had been in love with her for as long as he can remember; at least as far back as high school and their days of being friends. He would really like to show her that fireworks and their town traditions are not the only things worth fighting for; he wants her to give them a chance. After all, they share some major magnetism, off the charts chemistry, and could supply the town with the electricity they generate. Now Liam just has to convince Kayleigh that he’s the one. Ms Schmidt wrote a wonderfully sweet and emotional story that is definitely not to be missed. She provided a tale rich with chemistry, amusing banter, and charming characters giving Kayleigh and Liam a chance for love and a future together. I highly recommend A Spark of Romance to other readers. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

The perfect summer read for the fourth of July. Fire Chief Kayleigh, is bound and determined to save the fireworks display in memory of her mother while butting heads with Police Chief, Liam. They are both strong willed characters that have secret crushes on each other since high school. Loved the banter between these two, everyone knew they were perfect for each other if they could only come to a truce. Great small town feelings through out this story. I highly recommend this sweet romance book of second chances.

Kayleigh is the fire chief in her town and she wants to have fireworks for the Fourth of July but it seems that won't be happening because of things out of her control. And now Liam, the police chief is doing whatever he can to make sure that Kayleigh can go behind his back and make sure that she can set up fireworks in her mom's memory anyway. Liam and Kayleigh have known each other it seems like forever and they always seem to miss out but this pair needs to connect to more than just their community to feel alive. I really enjoyed this book. It fits right in with this series and can be read as a stand-alone or within the series as well.
