Just Another Spark (The Kingston Family #7.5)

Carly Phillips

Blurb:

Rock star Dash Kingston is finishing the last leg of his band’s U.S. tour. Exhausted and ready to be home, he can’t wait to see his girl. Time zones, show times, and the demands of his career have made married life harder than expected. Even knowing the rock star life wouldn’t make their relationship easy.

Cassidy Kingston thought she was ready to handle being married to a man idolized by women everywhere. She believes in their love even though the separations when the band is on tour can be torture. But the paparazzi and media don’t make their time apart easier and the gossip headlines hit her harder than they should. She trusts her husband even if she misses him like crazy.

When rumors surface that Dash is seeing someone, what’s a girl to do? Surprise her husband and remind him of what he’s been missing. Except you know what they say about the best laid plans.

Review:

I just love it when an author gives us an extended epilogue or a second bite of a couple that has already found their HEA, letting us get another peak into their relationship and the love that they continue to share. When Carly shared she was giving us a little glimpse into Dash and Cassidy’s time between their story and the beginning of the Dirty Dare series I could keep the squeal inside. Dash and Cassidy were one of my favorite couples and getting to see them again, even though we saw some relationship problems, was magical. Their story reminded me that though Dash was a rock star, when it came to his life with his woman, he truly was just another guy dealing with relationship issues and needing the support of their bedrock in order to continue to grow their relationship. I enjoyed the playful and painful look into the love life as well as watching Dash’s protectiveness toward a friend (psst Carly maybe we could have that story too?). I also loved that even this short story had a little epilogue to tie everything together as Carly gave us the timeline for their lives together. I look forward to seeing more of Dash and Cassidy in coming stories and there’s no way we could ever deny the heat and sweetness of a Carly story for sure, no matter the length. As always this one had me laughing, crying, and my heart warm with love in the end.
