Queen B’s Decree: If you recall, I did not finish book #1 in this series, When Sparks Fly. So naturally, I was a little skeptical about Starry-Eyed Love. Well, I am happy to announce that all my fears were for naught—Starry-Eyed Love won me over.
This was a bit of a slow burn. London and Jackson have a chance meeting at a bar where London turns him down for a date as she had just gotten out of a relationship. Months later they meet again, but this time they meet in a professional situation and while their attraction is still heavily present, they both do their best to stay on the side of business. Instead, their friendship continues to grow until their work commitments are done and they can finally act on their growing feelings.
I loved that both London and Jackson weren’t perfect—they both had flaws. Admittedly, I loved London more than Jackson. I felt that Jackson toed the line of “an omission is still a lie” and that just turned me off of him.
Lastly, reading Starry-Eyed Love confirmed to me that I was right in not finishing When Sparks Fly. I didn’t like Avery or Declan in their first book, and I continued to not like them here. So….justifiable did-not-finish-icide?
I’m super ready for the third sister, Harley’s story.
