Forever Yours + $25 #Giveaway: Featuring Author Liwen Y. Ho @2square2behip @toobusyreading






The Sweetest Spark by Liwen Y. Ho


He's a fun-loving ice cream shop owner looking for more than a fling. She's a straight-laced food critic too scared for love. Little did they know how much a foolish kiss would trigger an avalanche of emotions too great to contain.

Colin Spark may not have the best track record when it comes to his career choices, but he's loved the same woman since he was thirteen. His only obstacle to winning her heart is proving he's ready to settle down-an impossible task now that his store is going out of business.

Since her sister's passing, Candy Connelly has survived by being in control and protecting her heart. There's only one man she's let her guard down with, but his unreliable past shakes her confidence in his future.

Colin won't give up pursuing his passion; Candy won't give in to her attraction. That is until an accident brings all their unspoken issues to the surface and forces them to listen to their hearts. Will this incident be the spark that drives them apart for good or gives them their sweetest taste of romance yet?









Candy followed Abby as they headed back to their table, her heels clicking against the wooden floor, until a tall figure stepped in front of her. One whiff of the man's musky cologne confirmed Colin's presence, as did the warmth radiating from his body. Candy would've liked to wrap herself up in it, especially in this cold winter weather. Instead, she stepped back, careful not to make contact with the man who had a way of worming his way into her heart. "Excuse me," she stated, trying to side step her way around him.

"Candy, can we talk?" Colin stood firmly, crossing his arms as if he meant business. "Please?"

"Colin, that's not a good idea." Candy peered around him to look for Abby and see if she'd help her out of this situation. No luck though; her friend was long gone. So much for counting on her friend's nosiness. She crossed her arms and peered up into Colin's pleading eyes, then immediately dropped her gaze. It was best not to look directly into his eyes. That's how she'd found herself letting down her guard around him. "I thought I made it clear; there's no future for us. We're too different. It would never work."

He stepped close, leaning his head down next to hers. His voice was husky when he spoke. "If that's the case, I want you to tell it to me straight. Look me in the eyes and say there's no future for us. Then I'll let you go on your way and never bother you again."

"What? What difference does it make how I say it?" Candy turned her head to the side, away from his face. She stared at the intricate pattern of the tiles on the wall, anywhere but his eyes. For some people, sugar was their weakness; for her, it was Colin.







"I loved the chemistry and banter between Candy and Collin. Their escapades and experiences drew me into the story and their love and forgiveness stayed with me long after the last page."

"Colin really is the sweetest Spark! He and Candy had such beautiful character arcs as they grew to trust God and each other more. The romance was tender and the Christian elements gentle and poignant. I found I could actually identify with parts of both of their personalities, and that make me cheer for each of them even more. The push-and-pull of their relationship was the richest of any Liwen Ho book I've read yet, and I'm already a fan. She just keeps getting better!"

"The Sweetest Spark is a book where the characters just walk right into your heart-well, by book 3 of the Spark Brothers, you are invested in these lovable and fun people - uh... CHARACTERS (Characters in a book, NOT real people-yes, I know! Really!) Colin and Candy are wonderful characters BECAUSE of their issues that they work through... and discover that everything works when they work together. Isn't that something that we would all benefit from learning!!! I am looking forward to the rest of the series!"
