When Sparks Fly by Monica Murphy is now live!
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Monica Murphy comes a sweltering summer romance you won’t be able to put down.
Twenty-two-year-old heiress Rachel Henderson has one goal this summer: hide out at her family’s lake house and recover from the most mortifying breakup Manhattan society has ever witnessed. Sun, swimming, and zero paparazzi—what could go wrong?
But her quiet summer by the lake goes up in literal flames when a spa-day candle mishap sets her mother’s designer curtains on fire. When the local fire department shows up–specifically the ridiculously hot fire captain—the house is saved, but the captain scorches her pride with a lecture about fire safety.
Determined to prove she can handle life on her own without her family’s help, Rachel finds a new roommate and a new job—too bad she’s terrible at it. Oh, and she keeps running into Captain Tall-Dark-and-Infuriating (which definitely isn’t a hardship). The more time they spend together, the more their conversations start to get real, and Rachel finds herself falling for Wyatt. She thinks he might even feel the same way.
The only problem? Wyatt is all about roots and permanence, while Rachel is the very definition of flighty. But this summer, she just might be tempted to stay …

I really enjoyed this book. It’s a step outside her normal YA romances and I love that readers get to see Monica write something new
I related to this story ALOT because of the small age gap and single-dad tropes. I met my husband when I was 20 and he was 27 and he was a single dad with a 5yr old. So I could absolutely relate to everything Rachel and Wyatt went through.
Rachel and Wyatt are different in just about every way you can think of. However, I like that neither allows their differences to stop them from getting to know one another – in ways, it’s like they ignored those differences because no matter what, that chemistry was stronger than anything else.
We got to see Rachel grow in many ways; we saw her appreciating what she had growing up, but also realizing that there is also so much more important things in the world.
Wyatt finds himself wanting to open to Rachel but fearful too. He has Dottie to worry about and she’s at the impressionable age where she hears and sees everything.
I really enjoyed how the story played out. The story is told from both POVs, which I always enjoy. Monica gives her characters depth and readers get to experience these characters thoughts, emotions and their mannerisms.
Another great story from Monica. Definitely a recommended read.
