Review of When Sparks Fly by Anne Kemp

 

Ever wonder what would happen if two frenemies needed each other's help to navigate their Christmas predicaments?

Maisey: When I entered a contest to win a weekend getaway to the "Merriest Place on Earth" I didn't think one of the rules would be must be in a relationship––so I told a little fib. Now, they want me and my fiancé to come and enjoy a five-star luxury stay at Mistletoe Lodge. I don't care that I'm not engaged, much less even in a relationship of any kind. I'm still going, but I need to find a fiancé first...

Jack: The annual McCoy holiday party is coming up and I said I'd bring a date––to get my mother to stop pestering me. Do I have a girlfriend right now? Nope. But I am going to use this as my chance to get the woman I have a crush on to pay attention to me. I've got a small window of time to win Masiey Montgomery's heart, again, and I intend to make it happen.

When Sparks Fly is part of the Love in Lake Lorelei Series. This sweet small town enemies-to-lovers Christmas read will have you laughing out loud as you fall in love with Maisey, Jack, and the other residents in the town of Lake Lorelei.

Christmas is just around the corner, which means it's time to stock up on Christmas rom-coms, old and new. This one has some of my favorite tropes: frenemies, he falls first, and fake relationship. The characters had really great chemistry, and there was plenty of Christmas elements to go around.

Jack especially was a fun character as he learned the consequences of not communicating. Masiey's struggle is forgiveness, which makes for an interesting dynamic. I liked her and independent business woman ways for the most part, but sometimes her temper was a bit much for someone who has so much to lose in a prospective lawsuit. I've never used a treadmill with a safety key before, so I'm not sure what that's all about, but it seems like something an adult should know better than to mess with, so I was a bit mad at her. Thankfully, Jack wasn't.

These two together are absolute lovable disasters, though, and their joint klutziness was hilarious. I couldn't help but laugh. But everyone should definitely give them a half a mile radius when they are out in public together!

If you're looking for another cozy Christmas rom-com to put on your holiday reading list, this one is for you!

Note for more sensitive readers: there was one instance of taking God's name in vain that I saw.
