Just One Spark: The Kingston Family Series, Book 4 Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,754 ratings

He’s a playboy rock star who needs a fake girlfriend.

Except the only one available already stole his heart.

Dash Kingston is living the rock ‘n’ roll dream. Fame, money, groupies, rolling up to red-carpet events in his baby, a Ferrari V12. Until a very real baby scare threatens to bring it all crashing down. Talk about a wake-up call.

Dash knows things need to change. But to clean up his playboy image, he’s going to need help from the second-biggest mistake he ever made - a California blonde who blew his mind and left him with a scary case of the feels that sent him running. Now he needs a fake girlfriend, and she’s the perfect woman for the job. Not to mention time together will give him a chance to win her over.

A few months ago, Dash offered a shoulder for Cassidy Forrester to cry on. Somehow, they wound up spending the night together. A night she thought meant something - until she woke up alone. She’s now serving as the band’s temporary personal assistant. But acting as Dash’s fake girlfriend is definitely not part of the job description.

For the band’s sake, she agrees to play the role. But only a fool would make the same mistake twice, and Cassidy refuses to let their spark burn her a second time.

Cassidy Needed To Be In A Relationship With A Psychic!
I have a bad habit of not being able to write short reviews. For this book, it shouldn't be a problem.The narration was decent. I couldn't stand the fact that Cassidy wanted Dash to be a mind reader. She was looking for "clues" but seemed to be unable to say what she wanted.How was Dash supposed to intuitively figure out what emotional issues she was dealing with regarding relationships? When he was having survivors guilt, he explained the circumstances and why he felt that way.How could Axel be upset and berate Dash because Dash didn't understand what changes Axel's sister was going through?No wonder it took me two different tries to get through this book.
Thank you for your feedback

    Each book in the Kingston series is my favorite for different reasons. Explore the rock star world with Dash, learn about a shattered past, and find out if the past will affect the future.

    Such an easy read and cute story of dealing with emotions, past and learning to trust love. I really felt like this story had been done before. It just felt that way to me all through the book. I love the family and had to get reacquainted since its been a while from the last book. All in all a good read from Carly.

    Starting 2022 off with a SPARK!! Carly did it with this great book in the Kingston Family Series!!!

    This is Dash and Cassidy story. She was the one that got away, his one night that wouldn't be forgotten. Especially because the one girl who finally made him feel something didn't go away, she was in is life to stay. After their one night together, Cassidy is determined to keep her relationship with Dash as professional as possible. After thinking she misread the whole night, Cassidy agrees to be the assistant for her brothers new rock band. Which also happens to be with the one band with a sexy lead singer she would love to forget.

    After months of trying to forget his one night with Cass, Dash is thrown into a nightmare of being accused of fathering a child with a woman he doesn't remember. Knowing his life needs to change, and realizing he let the one woman he would want to be with down by leaving the morning after, he makes a proposal. Be his pretend girlfriend!! Cass doesn't want know what to think but she also is so insanely attracted to Dash it's hard to say no to him when she wants nothing more than to be that special one. Dash is determined to show Cass he's changing and it's because of the feelings he experienced those months ago during his one and only night with her. What is pretend to Cass isn't so much to Dash but he has no idea the depth of his feelings and how much this one woman will come to mean to him.

    I adore this story, these characters that Carly brought to life in Just One Spark is magical. It's always refreshing to read a new book from Carly and see how she brings her families together into one big story and also makes her feature couple sparkle! Dash and Cassidy not just your normal rock star baby scare story.. they have a special connection, a spark that came before this story took place and this book just expands on that connection and how true love will find a way despite misunderstandings and time apart.

    I enjoyed watching Dash work hard to get Cassidy to open up to him and forgive him on how he left her room after their first hook up. He was very sweet in his subtle but effective way in courting her. She’s very confident and has a calming effect on him.

    Just One Spark was a sweet, funny and hot second-chance love story! Who doesn't love it when a rock star is brought to his knees by THE woman?!

    Dash Kingston is part of a very popular band and he's enjoyed all that comes with that. So much that he finds himself needing to clean up his image. At the suggestion of the band's publicist, he ends up with a "fake" girlfriend, who he doesn't want to be fake at all. You see, he and Cassidy Forrester have history. I may only be one night, but it was enough for Dash to be affected.

    Cassidy is the sister of Axel, one of the other band members, and also the best friend of Dash's sister-in-law, so she's around the band quite a bit. She is currently serving as the band's assistant until the production company she'll be working for is up and running. Things didn't go all so well with she and Dash the one night they spent together, so trusting him won't be easy, but she's willing to do her part as his girlfriend, but she won't let herself feel anything this time. Will that really work?

    I enjoyed how all of this unfolded. Dash had a true evolution as the book progressed and it was great to see. I also loved how he was able to show Cassidy in the small ways that he really did want only her. I liked getting more of Cassidy's story as well. She too grew as the book went along. There was much to love about this book and I'm definitely intrigued by what we'll get in Aurora's upcoming book!

    Another fabulous Kingston family book. I really looked forward to Dash finding his HEA. I'm pleased to say it didn't disappoint. I love how so many of Carly Phillips series connect to the next one.

    I did not want to put this down for a single second!

    I have to say I was expecting more angst but that doesn’t mean I’m not happy that there wasn’t. It was nice to read a fairly low angst read that still had me rooting for the MC’s while still building their relationship in an interesting way.
    Dash 😍 this is a man who knows what he wants and doesn’t give up. Oh, and a sexy as hell rockstar to boot.
    Cassidy is a scarred heroine with abandonment issues which admittedly Dash doesn’t help after their first ‘encounter’ but she is loyal and doesn’t take any crap!

    We watch the relationship develop as Dash slowly breaks down the walls around Cassidy’s heart as they enter into a ‘fake relationship’ in hope of improving Dash’s public image. I don’t want to give anything else away 🙈

    If you love fake relationship, rockstar, second chance romance reads then you’ll love this!
