Reacquaint your heart with the passionate romance of Dash and Cassidy. From yearning hearts to tempting attraction, will their fiery love story survive the drama of life? A sweet and spicy followup to Just a Spark.

Short and sweet and completely adorable! Dash and Cassidy have been married a few years. He has been in his first tour in two years but he’s been away for several months and they’re both feeling the separation. Since Cassidy is now working as producer with Sasha, she hasn’t been able to go visit Dash at the concert venues, as she did in the previous tour.

Even though they have complete trust in each other, the tabloid rumors are annoying, playing phone tag is frustrating, and tempers are getting frayed. I loved how both work through their frustrations, the complete devotion to each other, the drive to finish this tour so they can be together. In spite of groupies everywhere, Dash only has eyes for his woman, he’s not even remotely interested. But Cassidy, so many miles away, fears even while she trusts her man.

I loved this short story! Their love is strong, their chemistry is still going

Loved catching up with Dash and Cassidy!! I enjoyed seeing that their marriage is still strong even though their jobs was keeping them apart and causing tension. But it showed that no matter what they always came first. Then the incident at the end just sealed their bond. Love these two!!

Just Another Spark is a short story that follows Dash and Cassidy Kingston after their happily-ever-after in Just One Spark, with both books part of Carly Phillips's Kingston Family series. While you don't necessarily need to read any of the other books in the series, I do recommend you check out Just One Spark first before diving into this new one since it is all about Dash and Cassidy's romance, while Just Another Spark serves as the "what happens after the HEA" kind of book. Both titles are available thru online retailers.

This was a quick read--like an extended epilogue for the already established couple that is Dash and Cassidy. Post-HEA stories are like bonuses, especially for well-loved characters. It was interesting to see that while our main characters were still very much in love, they were also dealing with issues other couples easily relate with: work, distance, time, and so on. The resolution didn't take overly long, this is a short story after all, and as expected, everything ended happily for Mr. and Mrs. Kingston. Four stars go to Just Another Spark.

Such a fun little book. We get to catch up with Dash and Cass as they are apart while he is on tour. Love the characters! Book was great!

Just Another Spark is a novella follow up to Just One Spark and I would definitely read that before you read this. I really enjoyed this novella and getting a little more time with these characters since I very much enjoyed their story the first time - Just One Spark was a five star read for me! Here we get a glimpse into their life a while into their marriage. This was fun and interesting. I'm a sucker for marriage in trouble books, and I had assumed from the blurb we would get a short, but high angst version of this trope, but it's really just a heartwarming, lighthearted short story. If you loved Just One Spark, you will definitely enjoy this!

Just Another Spark is a novella in The Kingston Family series. It takes place between the last chapter and the epilogue in Just One Spark (The Kingston Family #4). It took me awhile to figure out but once I did the novella was good. It was short but gave us a look into Dash and Cassidy’s future before the epilogue. The novella covered the years after they were married and showed the struggle they went through as a couple while Dash was on tour.
The time frame was confusing for me and I think it would have worked better if it was included in the fourth book.

I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I just love it when an author gives us an extended epilogue or a second bite of a couple that has already found their HEA, letting us get another peak into their relationship and the love that they continue to share. When Carly shared she was giving us a little glimpse into Dash and Cassidy’s time between their story and the beginning of the Dirty Dare series I could keep the squeal inside. Dash and Cassidy were one of my favorite couples and getting to see them again, even though we saw some relationship problems, was magical. Their story reminded me that though Dash was a rock star, when it came to his life with his woman, he truly was just another guy dealing with relationship issues and needing the support of their bedrock in order to continue to grow their relationship. I enjoyed the playful and painful look into the love life as well as watching Dash’s protectiveness toward a friend (psst Carly maybe we could have that story too?). I also loved that even this short story had a little epilogue to tie everything together as Carly gave us the timeline for their lives together. I look forward to seeing more of Dash and Cassidy in coming stories and there’s no way we could ever deny the heat and sweetness of a Carly story for sure, no matter the length. As always this one had me laughing, crying, and my heart warm with love in the end.

This was a novella that depicted what happens after the HEA. Life continues on and problems arise, but communication helps the couple work through them. Good story that revisits a favorite couple.

While Dash and Cassidy are in a happy marriage their time away from each other with their job restrictions are not making it easy. But in true Carly Phillips fashion the readers are taken on a short but powerful journey that proves once again love conquers all - all we need is a little patience.
