Review by Narcissus

When she pulls into the driveway of the crumbling mansion, Britt knows this is no ordinary job. The place needs more than her electrician's touch; that much is obvious. And the sparks that fly when she sets eyes on owner Marc McDaniels aren't all from the faulty wiring. But will a witch's spell, an escaping toddler, and impending danger short-circuit their sizzling attraction?

"Spark of Magic" is exactly what its title suggests: a spark of something magical between Britt, a pretty electrician and Marc, her handsome client. The circumstances that bring them together are portrayed in a cute and believable way with just enough humor running through it to bring a smile to my face.

With only about eleven pages to it, Lily Stone manages to create a vivid world for these two and the descriptions are colorful and effortless. If there was any issue for me, it was that the story was too short! It was a wonderfully written piece and I found myself flipping through the pages rapidly to find out just what could possibly happen next as Britt’s attraction to the man reaches the highest pinnacle within a few paragraphs.

Its funny knowing why Marc isn’t particularly aware of Britt’s interest (not the typical male “huh?” reaction either) and I got a good chuckle out of Britt’s antics to express that interest. With magic in the air and a bouncy little toddler you can’t help but love, Ms. Stone’s story was an effortless combination of humor and chemistry (even a little danger!) that became an instant winner and is sure to leave you smiling.
