About this ebook

“From a little spark may burst a flame.” ~ Dante Alighieri

Madeline~

Life’s lessons taught me well.

Dreams and happy endings are simply illusions our mind creates to soften life’s blows. I am no longer a little girl who believes in fairy tales or the existence of knights on white horses.

While I never intended to return to Chicago or to see him again, the decision was out of my control. Now I am here, and I can’t or won’t allow the spark in his piercing blue eyes to reignite my heart the way his predatory gaze sets fire to my body.

Patrick Kelly is my past—a childish attraction.

We are no longer children.

Patrick~

I may have started as nothing, but that is history.

Today I’m part of the royalty—a duke, a lord, or perhaps a knight—anointed by and within the upper echelon of the Sparrow dynasty. The wide-eyed tourists entering Chicago have no idea of what lies beneath the surface as they stare at the shimmering lake and shiny buildings.

Nothing is as it seems.

Sparrows control everything—no one enters our realm without our knowledge or catches us unaware.

No one until her.

Now that she’s here, there is too much at stake to give in to the spark that seeing her rekindles within me. Surely if it were allowed to burn, the flames will consume both of our worlds, leaving only ashes.

From New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig comes a brand-new dark romance, Spark. It's time to get caught up in this new and intriguing saga, Web of Desire.

SPARK is book one of the WEB OF DESIRE trilogy that continues in FLAME and concludes in ASHES.

I'm not really sure how I feel about this book. I found myself bored with the sort of suspense thriller/murder mystery stuff. The romance was few and far between, and I just felt like I was waiting for it to get really good, but it never did. I'm surprised at the ratings, but maybe it's just not my thing. I really liked the ending, in fact it was my favorite part, and as crazy as this sounds, that cliffhanger is most likely why I'm going to get the next book. Go figure.

This book is amazing!!! I have loved this series since Secrets came out and we were introduced to the world of Sterling Sparrow. I have been dying to hear Patrick’s story since my first glimpse of him in Secrets. As always Aleatha’s writing is amazing. It grabs a hold of you from the first page and doesn’t let go until the mother of all cliff hangers. Can’t wait for book 2!

Spark is Patrick Kelly’s story; we first met him back in Secrets, The Web of Sin Series. Patrick was the deliciously handsome driver who picked up Araneae McCrie and delivered her to his boss, Sterling Sparrow. It is all coming back to you? I pray that it does, after all, Secrets came out in 2018, seems like forever when Sterling Sparrow made his presence known. Patrick Kelly is Sterling’s right-hand man; he lives in the Sparrow ( bat) cave next to Sterling’s the Left-Hand man, Reid, the wizard behind the curtain. All three men met around the age of eighteen, enlisted and served together along with Mason, who found his way back to the pride. The four men have supported each other and made Chicago’s underground a little safer for children and homeless people. When Sterling Sparrow took over the organization, he needed people whom he could trust, and his most trusted allies are; Patrick, Reid, and Mason. These men trained together, serve their country together, and remained true to each other, by building a bond based on shared experiences. They took what happened to them before their training and put it behind, only moving forward. So, yes, each one of them has past lives, somethings in their past remain there and some show up out of the blue. As I finished this amazing story, the Song, Try by Pink came into my head, listen to the lyrics. Where there is desire There is gonna be a flame Where is flame someone’s bound to get burn Just because your burn doesn’t mean you’re gonna die You gotta get up and try Have you been Aleatha’d?
