The Spark Paperback – July 12, 2021
Purchase options and add-ons
Before I even met Donovan Decker, I knew his shoe size.
You see, I’d gone away for a few days, and in my haste to get out of the airport, I’d grabbed the wrong suitcase.
After checking out the expensive footwear and tailored clothes, I dialed the number on the luggage tag hoping maybe Mister Big Spender might have my bag.
A deep, velvety voice answered, and as luck would have it, he had my suitcase, too.
Donovan and I met at a coffee shop to do the exchange.
Turned out, it wasn’t just his voice that was sexy. The man holding my luggage was absolutely gorgeous, and we had an immediate spark.
He got me to admit that I’d snooped in his bag and then convinced me to make it up to him by letting him buy me coffee.
Coffee led to dinner, dinner led to dessert, and dessert led to spending an entire weekend together. Donovan wasn’t just handsome with a panty-dropping voice. He was also funny, smart, and surprisingly down to earth for a man who wore seven-hundred-dollar shoes.
Did I mention he also did my laundry while I slept? Definitely too good to be true.
So what did I do to repay him for his kindness?
I waited until he was in the shower, then ghosted him.
My life was too complicated for such a great guy.
In the months that passed, I thought about Donovan often.
But New York City had eight-million people, so what were the chances I’d run into him?
Then again, what were the chances I’d run into him a year later…when I’d just started dating his boss?

- Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2024What an incredibly captivating story. With every book I read by Vi Keeland, my admiration for her work grows. I could be described as a superfan of hers. She has a way of distilling real life into her writing that makes you never want to put the book down. Donovan and Autumn share a magical bond. A single fateful encounter propels their lives onto a trajectory beyond their wildest dreams. The depth of emotion and poignancy in this story caught me unprepared. The narrative is exceptionally crafted, with twists and turns that provide an exhilarating emotional journey.
The chemistry between Donovan and Autumn was palpable, leaping off the pages with an electrifying force. It was clear that this couple harbored a fierce lust for each other, and I read on eagerly until they succumbed to their mutual attraction. Their connection was fiery and intense; their dynamic resonated with me completely. From the very first word to the last, this story captivated me, drawing me into the plot and endearing the characters to me. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who isn't just seeking a romantic tale, but a narrative that highlights the characters' challenges and resonates with readers from all walks of life.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2022This book was amazing!
I’ve been wanting to read it for a long time and I am glad that I FINALLY did. I’ve essentially been on a Vi Keeland binge and I’m going slow because I don’t want it to end.
The Spark is a standalone, New York City based story about a meet cute luggage mixed up turned into the best weekend of Donovan Decker’s life. Our hero is a hugely successful criminal lawyer up for partnership at his firm. Our hero and heroine only planed on exchanging luggage when they met, but they couldn’t escape the spark. Now, one year later they reconnect to work together.
Our heroine, Autumn ghosted Donovan and large portion of the plot is us as the reader, as well as Donovan, uncovering the “why”. In true Vi Keeland form, we slowly uncover it piece by piece in a beautifully told story. I loved Donovan! He is literally the perfect man who would do anything for Autumn including wait for her and put himself through a lot! She’s not a bad person, she’s just truly scared.
I enjoyed this book a lot. It’ s a cute, contemporary, stand alone, second chance, workplace romance.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2025Very good story. Not too steamy, but just enough covers some good points in life and how people deal with them. Love happy endings.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2021Unsurprisingly, I'm here gushing over a Vi Keeland book. I’m just going to come out and say it; The Spark is my favourite book from her yet. Honestly, she's become one of those few authors that never ever disappoints and exceeds my expectations every single time. The Spark swept me off my feet....yet again. It’s a mesmerising story, its arc providing a beautiful mix of passion, affection, emotional heartache, and playful humour.
From their perfect and hilarious meet-cute, the sexual attraction and chemistry between Donovan and Autumn literally jumped right off the pages and was absolutely electrifying. I just knew this couple lusted after each other something fierce and I read eagerly until they finally gave in to their attraction. They were so hot and intense and everything about them together just worked for me. I loved this story from the first word read until the very last, it hooked me right in and I just fell in love with this plot and these characters. Add these amazing characters to a story that was bittersweet and touching, and you have the perfect book. This book just ticked all the boxes for me.
Donovan and Autumn were inevitable; their story was written in the stars. The journey was long and painful for them, but it was just as marvellous. Those last couple of chapters really had me choking up and holding back the feels. The Spark is a book full of unrestrained heat and tension, witty humour, overloaded passion and emotion, fate, and a whole lot of thought. It had so many layers that every one you peel off makes the story sink deeper in your bones. A definite must read!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2025Donovan and Autumn took a year to run into each other again after she took his luggage home by accident. They spent the weekend together and then she ghosted him. Autumn has huge trust issues from a man she dated for 4 and a half years, she is afraid to trust anyone. But Donovan has a heart of gold, and fell for her when the first met over lost luggage. Can she trust again? Will he end up in trouble because of her? Thank you Vi for a phenomenal story of trust, love and romance.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2021Like most Vi Keeland books, I really enjoyed the unique way the main characters met! I appreciate how Vi always seems to give her characters quirks, and in this book, Donovan’s conversations with his plants made for a few giggles! It wasn’t all laughs with Donovan though. His straightforward and sometimes blunt mouth could be kind of spicy at times! Add that with the tatted forearms and I was pretty much a goner!
I found it hard to connect with these characters initially, more so Autumn since she was more closed off about her past than Donovan was. As Autumn and Donovan opened up to each other, I was able to connect with them a bit more. I sympathized with how Donovan struggled as a child and I admired how he saw those struggles in Storm and tried to take him under his wing. I adored Autumn’s thirst for knowledge but I disliked how she tried forcing herself into certain situations that weren’t all that likeable, when at the same time there were more appealing options that she fought against.
Overall, this book didn't knock me off my feet like some of Vi Keeland's other books have but it was still a good read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing story.
I am crying as well as laughing after reading the story. Vi did it again for me. I love your stories and cherish them after reading your first one . That's the day I realised that books can make
you feel so much like you are living them yourself. I am overwhelmed by your story telling. Thankyou so much for such good books

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent With Some Surprises
This book was absolutely excellent. I was fully engaged from the moment I started reading it until the minute I turned the final page. Not only did I really enjoy the twists and turns of the story line, Autumn and Donovan were very likeable characters with really interesting backstories. This book touches on some very sensitive (and possibly traumatic) issues, but they are handled with great care and respect. While I can see how the mention of them might be triggering for people who have gone through them themselves, I feel like the author handled them very respectfully. All in all, an excellent read.
- Marian ChawnerReviewed in the United Kingdom on August 3, 2021
5.0 out of 5 stars Trust, honesty, and caring, with patience and understanding.
Vi Keeland is one very talented author. Her story’s all have a very dynamic tales to tell. Spark is all about Trust, Fear,uncertainty, and phenomenal chemistry. Autumn is returning from Vegas following a bachelorette party. She is tired and picks up her luggage from the carousel, but on getting home realises her mistake. Donovan is lawyer who also has luggage, but not his own!! The two meet, and the story unfolds. The package of both personalities is not what they really are. Both have pasts. One from the wrong side of the tracks made good, and one from the right side of the tracks that has altered career paths due to circumstances. Patience is definitely a virtue, honesty a necessity, but trust for both totally essential. There is most definitely drama, and crackling chemistry , but there is also cold mpassion and sincerity. Some topics touched are of a dark nature, and may disturb, but are described sufficiently without going into sinister descriptions. All characters are believable, and some may feel that they have got away with a terrible event! Others are young , but are prepared to change once shown the way. A very absorbing book, that captures not only the imagination but also the readers time, as once started very difficult to put down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Satisfying and sexy
The Spark is yet another mindblowing read by one of the most talented authors I have ever had the privilege of experiencing. This story unexpectedly blew my smutty mind. From the original storyline, to the quirky and sensual characters. Their personalities were complicated and ridiculously entertaining. Autumn and Donovan lit up the pages with their wit, quirks and diversity. So different, yet so perfect for each other. I fell hard for these two and did not want their journey to end. I was profoundly awed and will never be quite the same again. A piece of me goes with each character I fall for, but these two took a fair bit more than most. A brilliant and sexy story that will arouse and gratify. A perfect 5 stars.
