Sparks Fly is a swoony and steamy romance following Stella, a writer and late bloomer, so ready to lose her virginity that she goes to a sex club hoping to meet someone, and Max, the stranger she hooks up with at said club. When Stella returns to work the following week, she is shocked to come face to face with Max again, as his company partners up with her workplace to introduce an AI program that may wipe out her job entirely.

This was such a fun and bingeable read! Max and Stella had incredible chemistry, and I loved that they took their time getting to know each other while also diving into their attraction in the bedroom. The writing and workplace plot added just enough drama to balance out the otherwise low-stakes vibes, and I loved how everything came together in the end. Max was a complete gentleman, and I adored how obsessed he was with Stella and how willing he was to make things work despite the complications. The man was seriously so smitten and desperate for any attention Stella tossed his way, and it was adorable. If you enjoy sweet and simple romances with a hint of drama, all the steam, and relatable characters, this is the book for you!
