Starry-Eyed Love by Helena Hunting

During a rare night out with her sisters, soon after London's latest breakup, a handsome charming man asks her out. Not in the mood to be hit on in a bar, London says she has a boyfriend. Three months later she's humiliated when, sitting in a meeting to lure a new client to her family's event hotel Spark house, that same man turns out to be Jackson Holt, the millionaire CEO. All of a sudden she's working to organize a charity event with him, going on day trips to estate sales, and being flown to New York to meet his influential friends and create more business opportunities. But where was the man who so charmingly asked her out? Now he's all business and the attraction now seems all on her side.
Jackson had never been turned down for a date before, but London didn't seem to know who he was. He hasn't been able to get her out of his mind since, so when he catches sight of her at his own company, he's not willing to let her go. But by agreeing to let her hotel host his event means that she's now a business partner and off limits for dating. Now she seems interested while he's fighting to keep things professional.
I liked the family closeness of the three sisters running Spark House and especially the bond between London and Harley. I never read the first book in the series, but I really hated Avery's attitude about the business and how she kept cluelessly dumping all the work on the other two and refusing to listen to their input on business decisions. The story was a bit slow in the beginning until after the event. But I loved how they were with each other even then as comfortable friends. Jackson seems so down-to-earth for a millionaire in his approach to their relationship. I've read and enjoyed other books by this author and this one was no exception. Sweet romance with a strong family vibe.
I received an advance reader copy of this book. The views and opinions expressed in this review are completely my own and given voluntarily.
