Clare
Starting over on my own is the last thing I planned to do this week. Unfortunately, a thieving sister and an eviction notice have me doing just that.
The best part about my new apartment? The sexy single dad who lives across the courtyard with his son.
Our relationship consists of funny faces and notes passed back and forth at my kitchen window until a late-night shrieking fire alarm and … shrieking fire alarm and a shared jacket leads to them inviting me over for dinner.
Alex quickly captures my heart, but kissing his dad might just ruin everything.
Marcus
When my wife died I swore I’d never fall in love again. But, then I met Clare.
She makes my son smile in a way I haven’t seen in a long time and is a breath of fresh air in my otherwise lonely existence.
Meeting her makes me realize Lexi’s heart isn’t the only one that stopped beating when she died.
I want her, but am I brave enough to let her bring me back to life?

An entertaining read! It is well-developed, well written, fast pace, funny, and engaging. There is instant intense attraction, ups and downs, healing and moving on, a cute kid, amazing friends, and likeable characters. Definitely recommended!

Easy Spark is an addition to the Boudreaux Universe series. This book can be read as a complete stand alone though. The chemistry between Clare and Marcus is amazing and their relationship grows throughout this book. This book is full of curve balls, sweet moments with Marcus’ son Alex. Marcus is finding his way back after his wife died, and being a single father to his son. Alex. He too has vulnerability and Clare is his anchor and soul mate. This book was a great addition to this series and it was a great read.

I normally don’t enjoy super sweet love stories that much, but this book was an exception. Loved how Clare and Marc met through his son, Alex. Clare and Alex met by seeing each other through their apartment windows and started communicating by large notes. Clare, Marc, and Alex then met up for family dates and progressed to love. Very cute story!

This was beautiful! At first I thought the story might just have too many #feels I didn’t want to deal with in my reading but it was just so beautifully written and developed that before I knew it I was done and in love with everyone! Both Clare and Marcus are vulnerable from their own history and maybe weary of relationships, but it just developed naturally right in front of my eyes! And Alex …. *swoon* people, everything about this entire book was swoon-worthy!

If you are looking for a fast easy read with very little angst then this is the perfect book. It’s set in Kristen Proby’s Boudreaux series. If you read Easy Nights you’ll remember Savannah. I’m a big older brother’s best friend trope fan so I loved Savannah and Ben. Getting to go back into their world was so much fun. In Easy Spark we meet Clare, a friend of Savannah’s from high school. She’s in a huge bind and Savannah comes to her rescue. We also meet Marcus and cutie pie Alex. These two will melt your heart, especially Alex. While I enjoyed meeting this couple I so wanted to smack Marcus. He wouldn’t pull his head out of his a** and almost messed everything up. Clare was fantastic. She wasn’t perfect but she also wasn’t afraid to admit it. I’ll admit I would have loved a bit more. What happened with Clare’s sister, how did Alex feel about Marcus and Clare together, an epilogue. But it was still a sweet read I wouldn’t mind reading again. *I voluntarily read an advanced copy of this book for my honest and unbiased review.*
After being tricked by her sister, who used the money to run away with her boyfriend, without having paid any bills, Clare finds herself in a difficult situation, in which she needs to leave the apartment in a week.
Savannah Boudreaux, who studied with Clare at High School, meets her colleague and soon worries about her situation, trying to find a solution.
The first step was to provide a place for Clare to live.
Van’s husband, Ben, had long been helping women who needed to start over by abandoning their abusive companions. There were properties where they could live, being protected and paying less.
After that, a job with a better salary would also be helpful.
The Boudreaux helped Clare with the move.
In this new apartment, Clare soon finds herself enchanted by a little boy from the neighboring building. They play in the window, which catches the attention of the child’s father, who Clare realizes is a very sexy man… but, married.
Days later, she discovers that Marcus, police captain, Alex’s father, was a widower. His wife had died of cancer. Devastated by the death of his wife, he moved to that building because he was unable to stay in the house they lived in together.
His son’s enchantment with their neighbor made Marcus want to meet her too, because, after so long showing himself to be quiet and sad, Alex had found someone to smile and play with.
The first dinner invitation comes, after a fire broke out in the building, and when Marcus went cold with Clare for no apparent reason. With a heavy conscience, he invites her to eat spaghetti.
A dinner follows another, one gets to know the other and interest increases.
Marcus fears he is disrespecting his wife’s memory, but after talking to his parents, he realizes that he has a new opportunity to be happy and goes after Clare.
