About this ebook

Oh, say can you see these sparks flying in this 4th of July-themed standalone short romance when singer/songwriter Kamar Jaziri meets the beautiful and undefeated Independence Games champion in a red, white, and blue meet-cute over a plate of hot dogs.

Summer Darby, owner of Summer’s Sun Spray Tan Salon, is a winner. The end. Every goal she’s had, she’s crushed and her streak isn’t about to come to an end now even though the games have changed. She doesn’t care how much the new singer in the pavilion lights her firecracker—she won’t be distracted by his star-spangled salute.

When Kamar Jaziri isn’t studying in graduate school, he’s working as a singer/songwriter at small gigs around the local college town—including a recent hire at Yule Heights Shopping Mall. All he wants is a taste of freedom as he chases his American dreams, and that means he doesn’t have time for romance or dating. And he definitely doesn’t have time for the way Summer Darby looks at him.

Cue the sparklers as these blue collar titans of business clash in a comedic battle for independence—and love.

Ratings and reviews

This is the fourth novella in Sarah Robinson’s At the Mall series of holiday-themed contemporary romance, but the story stands alone. It’s a cute Independence Day themed story, and I liked both of the main characters, as well as seeing characters from previous books. It was an enjoyable enough quick read with a few laughs, and I particularly liked the adorable epilogue. However, the romance was too rushed for my taste, and the side plot about the ex-girlfriend was never satisfactorily resolved.

I liked each of these characters separately, but not so much together. At times it seemed like this story just kept bouncing all around. Some parts I really loved and other parts were just ok. Overall this story a nice addition to this series.
