Summary

When my teammates drag me to a club for my 21st birthday, the last thing on my mind is meeting a new guy. I’m not the kind of girl who gets wrapped up in a stranger on a sweaty dance floor.

Except, that’s exactly what happens. 

Only, the guy isn’t a stranger. 

He’s Jett Decker, the Olympic track star who has the entire campus buzzing with his transfer to our college. He may have given me his number, but I won’t use it. I refuse to be distracted by silly things like explosive chemistry. I’ve got my own Olympic dreams to chase. 

Turns out, whatever ignited on that dance floor can’t be put out by swimming laps.

You have to listen to this, brilliant narration

Stacey Glemboski does a really great job with the narration. I love listening to her.

I seem to have listened to these books in the wrong order (typical me). It didn't ruin my enjoyment of the story, in fact I loved it just as much as the other book. I really enjoyed the way the two books cover roughly the same time period and dovetail the events together, you just see them from a different point of view. I really like these characters, they took me through a whole load of emotions with them. Brilliant book.

Diving In

First time listening to this Author and I was really impressed. This book had some interesting characters with very relatable stories. This is more than the average sports romance and that was a plus for me. Not that I don't like football, or hockey, but it was refreshing to see swimming for a change. I enjoyed this book very much and look forward to the next one!

Ok listen

This was my first read (or should I say listen!) by Ali Dean, and as a usual liker of NA sports romance, I was hoping to like it.

I have to say, it wasn't the greatest sports romance I've ever read. I couldn't connect with any of the main characters really. Shay Spark and her twin Kick (I connected more with her though this story was about Shay), star swimmers; Julian Reid, Shay's on/off booty call; and Jett Decker, Olympic track star.

It was going sort of okay until chapter 3 when Shay and Jett just immediately started dry humping on the dance floor without even speaking, and Kick almost had an orgasm over watching it... It went right down to a 3* for me at that point.

There was just way too much drama that didn't really have any "oomph" about it, a love triangle with no spark (excuse the pun), and the instalove without introductions... It all just seemed quite naive for me.

That said, I do have Kick's story on audio and have started listening already. It also hasn't put me off reading any of the authors other series.

(AUDIO)
The narrator didn't really have me gripped, and the characters could have been easily confused if you weren't paying attention.

real love

Shay and Jett fall in love so suddenly that ir seems impossible to connect so fast. But their past can destroy what they are building and take them apart. Great audiobook. Stacey does a great job reading AliDean’s story.

Reviewed for Audiobook Obsession

Ali Dean the author and Stacey Glemboski narrator are both new to me, and have to say I enjoyed both.
This is a New Adult college sports romance with strong characters that have a competitive edge. In addition to a few twists and turns along the way made for a interesting storyline.

Book 1 - Spark Sisters

This is book 1 in Dean's Spark sisters series. A new sports romance read with our main characters being Jett and Shay. Both college athletes Shay being a swimmer and Jett running track. A fast paced, insta love romance. While overall I think this is a good romance with a smooth, fast paced storyline I gotta say that Shay's insecurities seems a little much. I liked how the race issue was addressed, as a possible issue but in the end it's as it should be - a non issue. Great balance of light and deep issues addressed and communication is key. I hope in book 2 as we get Kick's story any tension between these sisters is resolved. Wonderful narration - smooth and easy to listen to. Overall a good romance read!

This book was given to me for free at my request and I voluntarily provided this review.

Swimmer falls for a track star in a steamy romance

I'm not generally into the sports jock romance novels, but this one caught my attention because of the female lead character being a swimmer. Also love that she has a twin sister which adds another tangent relationship to the story. The sexy hunk Jett might seem at first like an arrogant jock before she gets to know him, but he's anything but, and I think the best part of this sporty story is that the sports angle was very much secondary to the romance story. I loved it and also loved Stacey Glemboski's narration.

New author for me. I thought This was an ok read. Shay and Jett declare themselves a couple pretty quickly after meeting. I didn't really feel the connection between them. And it was hard for me to connect with them.
Narration was ok

A fantastic story.

A beautiful love this story that is not without few issues here and there as Shay and Jett relationship develops.

I do find Shay's incicurities a bit annoying though, Jett was upfront with her about what he want from the get go, and everytime she ask him about something he is honest with her, yet, she still jump to the worst conclusion at the first opportunity.

I love everything about Jett's character.

Love this quote from Jett: (I had to have Chey Spark to fill me up and make me whole)  

A fantastic love story. Love the narration. I'm new to this author and I love this first book so far.



A definite tear jerker and a must read.to the last I was totally riveted from the first chapter.

Enjoyable sports romance

I’m a big fan of sports romances. This is my first swimming romance and I really enjoyed listening. The author writes a unique storyline that grabs your attention. Stacey is fantastic with the narration and bringing the story to life. I can’t wait to listen to more that Ali has written.
