Approaching her thirtieth birthday, Hannah manages a department store, her family does not understand her career. They think she should settle down with a husband and children. She recently ended a relationship because she discovered he was married. Hannah feels most men are cheating losers and wonders if she will ever trust again?

Mason is a firefighter whose many siblings are settling down. Mason wonders if he will ever find the right woman. His brother Derek is working on a hypothesis that women give the ‘come on’ more to married men than single ones and enlists Mason’s help to prove it.

Mason notices Hannah sitting in a laundromat reading a romance novel. He is intrigued and attracted to her. Hannah sees Mason and thinks he is gorgeous. The second thing she notices is his wedding ring. When Mason asks her out, she tells him she does not date married men and runs out. Derek later meets Hannah and realizes she is Mason’s dream girl; he arranges a meeting between them and the sparks fly. Once Mason convinces Hannah he is not married, their union is explosive. Despite deep feelings for Hannah, he realizes he must take things slowly. When Hannah receives threatening messages, Mason fears for her safety. Hannah’s family wonders if he could he be the stalker? Will Mason be able to prove his love and teach Hannah to trust again?

Just One Spark keeps you reading until the very end. I stayed up into the wee hours of the morning finishing it. This book is a poignant, sweet romance, showing tenderness and love can rebuild trust. Along with some intensely hot sex scenes, it also has humor. Finding out what Hannah’s nickname is for her vibrator and what it means had me laughing aloud.
