Avery Spark is living her best life. Between her friends, her sisters, and Spark House, the event hotel her family owns, she doesn't have much time for anything else, especially relationships. She'd rather hang out with her best friend and roommate, Declan McCormick, than deal with the dating scene. But everything changes when she is in a car accident and needs someone to care for her as she heals.

Declan avoids relationships, giving him a playboy reputation that he lives up to when he puts a one-night stand ahead of a promise he made to Avery. While he may not have been the one driving the car, he feels responsible for Avery's injuries and is determined to make it up to her by stepping into the role of caretaker.

Little did they know that the more time they spend in compromising positions, the attraction they've been refusing to acknowledge becomes impossible to ignore. When they finally give in to the spark between them, neither is prepared for the consequences. Their love is fragile and all it will take is a blow from the past to shatter it all.

"I think I can be good to you. I want to be good for you."

Declan and Avery have been best friends since college, have lived together since they returned from college and have both been harbouring feelings for each other in the back of their minds. Avery is in a horrible car accident and Declan blames himself so demands to take care of her while she is recovering. As they start spending more and more time together, the lines between friendship and more begin to disappear. As life begins to get back to normal, the past and insecurities threaten everything they have come to enjoy.

"You smell yummy," she mutters. "Way better than a turtle."

Declan and Avery are a classic best friends to lovers story. Declan and Avery have the banter that best friends have that has you giggling. It was fun seeing them realize that they had feelings for each other and how they moved from the "friend zone" to more. I felt bad for both of them with the number of things from their pasts that kept bringing them down and making them doubt things. I loved how Declan proved to Avery that he was worth being with her, totally swoon-worthy. Avery's sister London bugged me a little bit with all her negativity. All in all, this was a fun book.
