3.5/5!!! Honest honest review: obviously I finished it because it’s a cheesy rom com. BUT. The back and forth “fights” were a little toooo much but I expected more drama between the characters. Does that make sense? Quick read but definitely could have been shorter.

This is a great story. Heart-warming, bittersweet, emotional.
The MCs have significant challenges from their pasts and they are sensitively addressed and not glossed over. Grief and loss are a theme throughout this series and the way that sadness and hope are intertwined is masterful.
Even though there is a "nanny" trope theme, it is done with a modern twist so it isn't creepy or gross.
The discussions on birth control clearly link to the challenges the MMC is dealing with. Well-done.
Every book in this series gives us more of picture of all the characters in this world and how they are living their HEAs.
Love the Spark family!

Make A Wish is the 3rd book in Helena Hunting’s Spark House series and what a way to finish their stories. I was so excited to get an advanced copy from Helena and once I picked it up, I had such a hard time forcing myself to stop so I could take care of my adult responsibilities (who needs work anyway lol). This 5-star book kept me hooked, and now I’m about ready to go reread the series from the start!
Make A Wish follows the 3rd Spark Sister, Harley, a former nanny who now organizes children’s parties at Spark House. When the former family she nannied for, single-dad Gavin and his daughter Peyton, reappears back in her life, she becomes attached again. Realizing they spend all their free time together and how Harley would do anything for Gavin and Peyton, they both realize that these latent feelings from years ago may not be so latent anymore. Watching them both grow, even from the very beginning, kept me hooked as Gavin dealt with his original feelings of guilt as a widower as well as having to handle his in-laws and Harley tried f=to find out how she fits into their lives now. I was rooting for Harley and Gavin the whole book and was so satisfied watching their relationship blossom (and Peyton was absolutely adorable too).
If you love single-dad romances, the nanny (former nanny) trope, close-knit families, and romance, the Spark House series, especially Make A Wish is for you. I’m off to go reread the whole series now to make me less sad that I finished it!
