It's Pride Month and every day, N. N. Light's Book Heaven will feature a book and/or an author from the LGBTQ+ community. What happens when two surfers compete to be number one? Sparks Like Ours is a delightful beach read and I highly recommend!
Title: Sparks Like Ours
Author: Melissa Brayden
Genre: Lesbian Fiction, Lesbian Romance, LGBTQ
Book Blurb:
Gia Malone wants one thing and one thing only: to be the best surfer in the world. Her biggest obstacle is the annoyingly perky Elle Britton. Not only is Elle number one in the rankings, she’s also a fan favorite. But there’s a lot about Elle that Gia never noticed, like her surprising sense of humor and picture-perfect mouth.
Elle Britton is tired. After tournaments, fan meet-ups, and nonstop media requests, all she wants in the world is a little peace and quiet. But with Gia Malone closing in on her ranking, she has to surf her best. When the media picks up the story of their neck and neck status, Elle finds herself forced further into the spotlight, this time alongside Gia, the knockout with the killer shred and sexy smile.
It’s not long before there’s no denying the chemistry on and off the beach. But only one can win…
My Review:
Gia wants to be the best surfer in the world. The only one standing in her way is Elle. Elle is a fan favorite and currently ranked number one. Gia wants to dislike her but the more she gets to know her, the more she likes her. Can these two compete to be number one while exploring their feelings for one another?
This is my first Melinda Braydon book, so I didn’t know anything about the series or her writing style. I came into it with an open mind and absolutely loved it. Not only are Gia and Elle fleshed out characters but there’s a depth to them I didn’t expect. The conflict is there but so is the electric chemistry. The plot moved quickly with plenty of minor characters to keep me turning the pages. The romance was lovely and the surfing makes Sparks Like Ours the perfect beach read! I can’t wait to read more in this series and highly recommend.
