A Single Spark is a great start to this series about the Spark brothers. Author Liwen Ho blends faith and romance in this story of overcoming grief and learning to trust.
Sparks fly as Abby and Aiden first encounter each other, but not in a good way. She represents the things that cause him pain and manages to push his buttons. When they go out on a blind date, things seem to go so well until Aiden realizes who Abby is and without thinking, flees and leaves her holding the check.
The story flows very naturally as it introduces the various Spark brothers and the important people in their lives as it sets the stage for the other books that are to come. I think I already have a favorite brother, Colin. I also really liked Abby’s friend Danica and the great spiritual advice she shared with Abby.
Abby needed to learn some important lessons about controlling her tongue and not allowing the past actions of those who hurt her affect the way she treats the people in her life now. She needed to work through many insecurities.
The story is long enough to be complete and short enough to be a quick and satisfying read when you only have a few hours to spare.
