ARC Book Review - Spark (Remington Rescue Squad #2), by Kimberly Kincaid

 

Book Rating: 

This is 4 stories in 1 lots of people and story lines to keep track of.  

Tyler & Chloe are friends they've known each other since high school. She wanted it to go further, and kissed Tyler. Tyler is worried that she is his best friends little sister. Tyler does like her, but, he knows he shouldn't be doing anything with her, as she is Ryan's little sister. Chloe had wanted Tyler, but, now a few months after they  kiss they just try to ignore each other, and move on with the family outings and activities. But, working next to each other daily with the wedding prep, they always try to find ways to 'touch' each other usually by accident. 

Chloe is a pastry chef. She loves cooking/baking. When she gets stressed she bakes, and bakes, and bakes. Its a good thing her best friend, works in the police station and her brother and Tyler work in the fire station. She's always dropping off goodies for both houses. Chloe had a stalker who tried to kill her a few years ago. Now, her whole family protects her and bubble wraps her. She is always treated with kid gloves. She knows she can do more than they are letting her. With Addison & Ryan's wedding approaching, she is the maid of honor and has a lot of duties to perform/fulfill. Tyler her brother's best man and best friend, has been drafted to help Chloe with everything wedding related so she doesn't stress so much about it. 

Ryan and Addison are getting married in 4 weeks, but, Chloe takes on most of the duties for the wedding to prove she can do things, and she can be trusted. Ryan and Addison are working and working it seems. How are they approving everything wedding related Chloe sends to them? 

Esme is a 13 yr old foster kid, who witnessed a crime. Addison, brought in Chloe to talk with Esme, to see if she can open the girl up to tell them about the crime she witnessed. Chloe has a foster home / group home back ground also, and Addison thinks Chloe and Esme will be able to bond over being foster kids, even though Chloe is about 10-12 yrs older than Esme. 

When Esme helps identify the man who committed the crime, it seems the whole police precinct wanted to get their hands on Leo Navarro. But the Intelligence Unit had first dibs at him. Leo and Simon don't seem to know that Esme was in the building. They don't know she was a witness to the crime. All Chloe can do is think about what will happen once they find out that Esme got a good look at Leo. Will they come after Esme? Will Chloe be able to protect her? Or will Esme just shut down again and not help the police with anything? 

For me there was just a lot going on in this book.
