Lio is already drowning in responsibility—fighting fires by day and tending to his last remaining family at night, while clinging to dreams of freedom. Courting a woman with a child is out of the question. But a single favor for an alluring glassblower could throw his routine into chaos.

From the outside, Ali's life burns bright. She owns a thriving business, has phenomenal friends, and is a single mom to a daughter she'd do absolutely anything for. Until a sudden blaze exposes just how easily everything could shatter and draws her to fire chief who's all wrong for her... and far too tempting.

When her daughter's safety is at stake, Ali must confront old wounds and seek help from the people who caused them. With Lio's sister tagging along, the road ahead will be anything but easy. Can Ali and Lio survive the journey, or will their differences tear them apart?

Perfect for fans of cozy fantasy, Sparking the Vibe serves up mysterious magic, laugh-out-loud humor, a grumpy-sunshine pairing, and tight-knit friendships across fantasy races. Tag along for the jaunt and see what ignites...

I devoured this book!! So good! Such a fun easy read. I love a good dark romance but it’s so nice to have an easy rom com sometimes. This one did not disappoint!

What a light and cute read ☺️ I adored Ali. Her personality is so fun and full of the best traits. Her joy is really contagious! The story has a nice message about self discovery and love which was really well portrayed with all the different creatures living together. The humour in this top notch: I must say I loved her side hustle 🤭 They were moments a bit deeper but not enough to « break » the light and fluffy vibe.

The couple from book 1 is present but it can be read as a standalone (like I did).

Amber has done it again. I really enjoy her style of cozy fantasy, it's truly just like a warm hug.

If you are a fan of cozy fantasy romance, small-town charm, magical aesthetics, and patient character growth, this novel is for you. I had such a fun time with Sparking the Vibe. Set in the magical town of Fairvale, the story follows Ali, a talented glassblower struggling to keep her business running while raising her daughter, Echo, and Lio, the town's dedicated fire chief. What starts as reluctant proximity slowly develops into a beautiful journey of two people who have spent their lives carrying heavy responsibilities finally learning how to share those burdens with someone else. The story functions beautifully as a light, breezy read, making it a perfect palette cleanser or buffer if you have been diving into heavy, emotionally draining genres.

There was so much that worked beautifully in this story. The romance feels incredibly patient and natural, developing organically through genuine trust, everyday conversations, slow emotional intimacy, and shared trauma from both becoming parents at a young age. The slow-burn connection is built on quiet, everyday interactions, and its low spice doesn’t make it feel lacking at all. Lio is a fantastic love interest who shows his care through deliberate actions rather than flashy speeches. His fear of history repeating itself and his valid hesitation to immediately promise he will stay are deeply empathetic, rooted in losing his parents to a fire when he was younger and raising his sister at nineteen. I also absolutely loved how the return of Echo’s biological father was written. It was handled with complete maturity, highlighting that a failed romantic partnership doesn't prevent someone from being a good dad, and Ali beautifully prioritized Echo by giving her a chance to know him while keeping her own boundaries firm. Ali’s realistic exhaustion from juggling motherhood, financial concerns, and artistic ambitions makes her incredibly relatable. To top it all off, Fairvale acts as a vibrant character with a wonderful found-family community where people genuinely care about one another.

However, a few elements could have used a bit more depth. The light tone means that for long stretches of the novel, it feels like nothing much is happening, leading to a slow, low-stakes buildup. The plot doesn't truly peak until almost the very end when they travel to Lio's hometown, leaving the middle section feeling slightly flat. Furthermore, the magical elements frequently faded so far into the background that I struggled to visualize the characters as magical beings, only being reminded when an ability was explicitly used. The book would be a lot better with a deeper exploration of its magical systems and creatures. Shifting some of the plot tension earlier into the story and spending more time exploring the emotional fallout of their personal fears before rushing into smooth resolutions would also give it a much punchier impact. Ultimately, Sparking the Vibe is a warm, charming fantasy romance that thrives on emotional sincerity.

Many thanks to the author for allowing me advance access to this book. I’m leaving this review voluntarily, and all thoughts are my honest reaction to the story.

Amber Werner has done it again. At this point I would happily read her shopping list and be emotionally invested.

This book was exactly the kind of cozy fantasy I adore. Warm, magical, heartfelt, and filled with the sort of characters that feel like real people rather than just names on a page. Everpass continues to be a place I never want to leave, and every time I return to this world it feels like coming home.

The romance between Ali and Lio was such a slow, meandering burn in the best possible way. Their relationship wasn't built on instant attraction or dramatic declarations but on trust, friendship, shared struggles, and learning how to let someone else carry the weight for a while. Watching them slowly find their way to each other had me grinning like an idiot more than once.

One of my absolute favourite parts of this story was Ali herself. Fantasy doesn't always give us mothers as main characters, and I loved seeing her portrayed as strong, capable, loving, terrified, determined, and completely devoted to her daughter all at the same time. The motherhood storyline added so much depth and heart to the book and honestly hit me harder than I expected. Especially as I don't have children and I don't tend to read this type of story.

I also loved the focus on friendship and community. The found family vibes were immaculate, and there was something really lovely about seeing characters challenge old beliefs, grow into better versions of themselves, and learn to lean on the people around them. The relationships in this book felt just as important as the romance.

The whole thing wrapped around me like a warm blanket and a cup of tea on a cold day. It's cozy without being boring, emotional without being heavy, and magical without losing sight of the very human heart at the centre of the story.

If you love cozy fantasy, small-town charm, grumpy/sunshine romance, found family, single parent storylines, and characters who feel genuinely alive, this is absolutely one to pick up.

I was genuinely sad when I reached the final page because I wasn't ready to leave Everpass yet. Thankfully, this world keeps growing, and I already can't wait to come back.

And honestly? I will read absolutely anything @amberlwerner writes at this point. Between the completed Palisade Trilogy and Blood Song Trilogy, she has completely secured herself as an auto read author for me.

This book is charming, magical, and absolutely overflowing with cozy fantasy romance vibes 👀🖤✨

A grumpy firefighter carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders?

A talented glassblower and single mom determined to protect her daughter?

A small-town fantasy romance filled with magic, found family, and opposites-attract chemistry??

Yeah… I was hooked IMMEDIATELY.

Ali was SUCH a wonderful FMC 👀✨

Strong. Independent. Loving.

The kind of woman who would do absolutely anything for the people she cares about.

She's built a beautiful life for herself and her daughter, but when everything she's worked for is threatened, she's forced to face wounds she'd rather leave in the past.

And honestly??

I adored her.

Then there's Lio.

And WOW 👀🔥

Protective. Responsible. Endlessly caring.

This man spends his days fighting fires and his nights taking care of the family who depends on him.

He's convinced he doesn't have room in his life for love.

Which, of course, makes watching him fall even better 😂🖤

The chemistry between these two was SO sweet.

Because while they're complete opposites in many ways, they somehow bring out the best in each other.

The banter.

The tenderness.

The slow-building connection.

Every interaction left me smiling.

And WOW 🖤✨

The cozy fantasy elements were absolutely delightful.

Between the magical touches, tight-knit friendships, quirky adventures, and heartwarming found-family moments, this world felt so easy to get lost in.

Then add in a road trip, a protective firefighter, a determined single mom, and a daughter who completely steals your heart...

AND I WAS COMPLETELY INVESTED.

✨ If you love:
• cozy fantasy romance
• grumpy/sunshine
• single mom romance
• found family
• magical small towns
• protective MMCs

This one is heartwarming, magical, romantic, and packed with cozy fantasy charm 🖤✨🔥📚

This story was everything I love in a cosy fantasy! A smidge over 300 pages of delightful reading that blended slice of life scenes with mesmerising back and forth between characters - I was sorry to see it end.

The mini-arc that tied the first half of the book together provided many lighter moments - and was one I've honestly never read in a book like this before! It was a fun way to pull the MC's, Ali and Lio, together and let me see them in so many situations, showing off their good and bad sides.....but really, what bad sides?? I appreciated the sensitivity used by the author to eventually explain it too.

The story was a journey of growth for most of the main characters and I loved that. It's satisfying to watch old beliefs be challenged, reconsidered and overturned and the new possibilities that then open up.

There was some very positive messaging about friendship, our need for it and how it benefits us beyond social connection. I especially noticed it in the males of this story - "...'do you want my advice, or are you just hoping I’ll nod along to whatever foolish ideas you’ve dreamed up?' ".

The slow burn between Ali and Lio took a scenic and meandering path to it's resolution - "Goddess, why do matters of the heart have to be so infuriatingly confusing?". While the end point of that journey was the wonderful pay-off of the book, the path to it was what I appreciated most.

The town of Everpass, with it's mostly harmonious blended community, is a lovely setting for this book and after reading it I'm so looking forward to spending more time there.

[S · Rating 4 out of 5]

Return to the world of Fairvale and watch the story of Ali, Echo and Lio unfold. Ali is a single mother who works as a glassblower, and Lio is a firefighter. In this story, we observe how Lio's views on having children place an obstacle in their bond. However, as time progresses, the two of them understand each other more and their relationship changes and evolves.

The progression of the plot is truly amazing. Werner brilliantly portrays realistic relationships between characters and accurately explores how one individual can be affected by another. Nothing is rushed and a beautiful slow burn unfurls. Not only do the main characters show lovely bonds, the side characters also get their time to shine.

This book is dialogue heavy, which makes it feel as though you're reading a retelling of the characters' perspectives directly from their own mouths. It's truly fun to read and full of little quips. Each character is unique and standalone and feel like they have a purpose in the world.

Being brief so as to not spoil anything, the ending is brilliant. Endings can be the point of which a lot of authors mess up - being too abrupt or leaving so many loose ends. But Werner satisfyingly concludes the story perfectly whilst also setting up for the next plot.

The one thing I would like to see a bit more of is descriptives - I struggles at times to paint a clear picture of the scene sin my head, with both settings and characters. However, this does not take away from enjoying this heartwarming story.

Overall, this book is an easy read that explores a few deep moments without weighing too heavily.

I absolutely loved stepping once again into Amber’s enchanting new world of small-town romance imbued by magic, and meeting the next set of protagonists.

Magic and Mocktails lured me in with second-chance romance, filled my belly with mouthwatering food, and tickled my palate with drinks tailored perfectly to each character’s soul. Sparking the Vibe, Book 2 of Amber's series of interconnected cozy fantasy standalones, lit my soul from within and let the fires burn.

They burned bright with the love I felt for both Ali and Lio. And they never stopped burning.

Sparking the Vibe sparked something in me. It showed me the fierce love of a mother. It showed me the caring side of an older brother. It showed me two loving souls finally accepting the love they deserve and need. And it was precisely what my heart needed.

So, enter this magical and whimsical world. Enter, have a mocktail, join a book club, read a firefighter romance (or two), and stay. You will never want to leave.

Thank you, Amber, for having me as your ARC reader once again. It's always an immense pleasure.

[Jessica · Rating 3 out of 5]

I received an Advanced Reader Copy from the author.

This is book 2 in the series. Ali is a fire nymph single mother of pre-teen Echo. Lio has been racing his sister Tini since they lost their parents when she was barely 5 years old.

Ali has trust issues after having been abandoned multiple times throughout her life. She moved to Everpass after having Echo and has built a life for herself. Lio needed a peaceful place to raise his sister and found himself there as well.

They both share trauma and constantly butt heads because of their personalities. However when both Echo and Tini need to visit a Heathmother to get help with their gifts. During the trip they share their experiences growing up and become closer.

Once Lio decides to open up to Ali life throws them kne last curveball, however they get their HEA. There is some interesting facts about a few side characters that lend themselves for another book in this series and I hope the author gives us more from the Everpass folks.

This is a very slowburn, closed door romance that will give you all the cozy feels!

[Ember Eubanks · Rating 5 out of 5]

Thank you to the author for my ARC copy. This opinion was my own.

I loved this book, from the grumpy sunshine pairing, to the FMC motherhood arc, and the book club.

This book gives readers a warm welcome into the town of Everpass, a small town with notable shops, such as Ali’s glassblowing shop, Our Glass, and Stellar Spirits, the tavern from the first book (“Magic and Mocktails”).

One thing that stood about this book was the main character – Ali. She’s a badass shop owner and single mother who would go to the ends of Fairvale for her daughter, Echo. It’s fun to see fantasy books revolve around FMCs who are mothers.

I loved the found family aspect with the book club consisting of two witches, a nymph, and a dwarf. I also liked how every character was vested in the success of Ali and Lio’s relationship. I felt that it gave the story a personal layer to it.

The series delivers another stunning standalone. If you like Legends and Lattes, The Spell Shop, and The Pumpkin Spice Cafe, this book is for you!

[Dominique · Rating 4 out of 5]

I just finished Sparking the Vibe, and it was definitely such a cozy romantasy. This was such a cute and funny read, I was literally laughing out loud through almost the whole book. It had such a lighthearted and sweet vibe, but it also really pulled on my heartstrings, especially having been a single mother.

I also really loved the world building and all of Ali’s found family and friends. They were always there for her and Echo, giving advice, showing up when it mattered most, and truly making them feel loved and supported. Those relationships added so much warmth to the story and honestly became one of my favorite parts of the book.

I really loved the happy ending and how everyone was able to come together and do what was best for Echo. Overall, this was such a comforting, enjoyable, and feel good read that left me smiling by the end.

Thank you so much to Amber Werner for giving me the opportunity to read this book before the release date!

[Stephanie White · Rating 5 out of 5]

First a disclaimer, I read so much - ARC's, physical books etc that sometimes all the books flow together - but I started this book and I sat there and go -wait I've read a book that has the same characters - and the same "town/feel" - and actually, ironically, I had been wondering about the first book - because I enjoyed reading it!

So, when I did start reading it - and I realized it was the second book it was so much more joyful and impactful :)

We are back in town - this one is about the nymph, Ali and her daughter Echo. Echo is coming into her powers - and unfortunately it is fire - which brings a lot of distress to Ali. It seems in this world, in certain parts of it, nymph's with the power of fire is seen as "bad/derogatory" it isn't liked.

Then we have Lio, a nymph, with his sister - she works at the bar, and hasn't gotten her powers. Lio has taken care of her since their parents died in a fire.

All of them travel to a "mixed race" village so that they could help the girls :). Also it was good for Ali and Lio - to find out their feelings for each other :)

We have found love, love of the village - everyone in this village is like family - I wish I had something like this in real life. A great story and I cannot wait for book three -so we can find out what happens to other "side characters" and their romantic lives :)

Relatively clean - there is sexual tension, there is one sex scene but I mean you see more on tv -so if you can't read that sort of thing - you should be able to scroll right past it.

LOVED IT!!

It's honestly such a fantastic standalone but interconnected series.

It's like a magical hug but filled with some sarcasm and a whole lot of community!

I loved getting to see how Nora and Kieran were doing and not forgetting little Roo! 🐁

Honestly as soon as I started reading I was straight back into the whole world and I loved every minute. My goodness did I wanna smack Lios head (well done Tini!) 😂

And my goodness Ali and Echos relationship is the sweetest damn thing! And all the stuff Ali has been through but she'll always put her daughter first!

But let's not forget Maalik and Ali's little side project 😂🍆

I can't wait to read Seth and Paige's story but I need it like NOW 😅 also hope Davos gets a Happy ever after.

I received an ARC for Sprking the Vibe book 2 in the Fairvale Cozy Fantasy romance series.
This is Ali and Lio's story...
This was a sweet cozy fun story.
Where their are humans and Creatures such as Elves, orc, trolls imp, nymphs, witches, etc. This was such a fun world to go into. The characters are awesome creatures for Example Nora's brother is half Orc, he best friend Ali is a Nymph, I cant tell you what Nora is i will say
Ali is fire Nymph she owns a glass blowing shop.
Lio is a water Nymph he is the captain of the fire Buregade.
When Ali's daughter Echo and His sister Tini end up having trouble with their magic they decide to travel together to find the answers in Lio's how town.
They both have feelings for each other. They were cute together once they figured everything out I wish we got a little more of them together at the end.
Can't wait to see what happens next.

- Cozy romantasy
- Single mother
- Found family
- He falls first

This book was adorable as well as cheeky. It took me a while to figure out why Ali’s craft was so frowned upon. But the plot was solid and the characters were so good. Ali is such a strong woman, doing whatever is needed to make sure her daughter has a good life. As a nymph and a single mother, this isn’t easy and Ali has taken on the craft as a side gig for the extra money she needs.

Lio inadvertently discovers Ali’s secret and becomes determined to keep her safe. Which isn’t easy since Ali is so independent. I adored Lio and his semi awkward personality.

Both of them had struggles from their past, and Ali’s reluctant to have a relationship. But it was so fun watching their feelings develop.

[Zanna Bear · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is exactly what it promises. A heartfelt cosy romance story in a fantasy world. I loved it.
It had plenty emotional depth without horrible things happening in the ‘now’. It made me cry when I didn’t expect it.
Though I’ve got some peeves, the ruffled feathers were smoothed over by the end the story.
I love that bits and pieces of other lives/characters get woven into the story of Ali and Lio, yet it still focusses completely on these two lovers and their character growth.

Single parents/caretakers are under repped in literature, as are ‘later in life’ romances, but Amber fully delivers on two people finding and accepting each other because of and in spite of that.
I came to love Echo and Tini just as much as Ali and Lio.

[Kez Marie · Rating 4 out of 5]

A cosy fantasy, with a grumpy sunshine romance, opposites attract, and a single mum trying to protect her daughter and help her tackle her emerging fire magic.
It has a magical atmosphere, plenty of humorous antics, and a cosy journey seeing Lio and Ali fall for each other and gaining the love they deserve.
I loved how supportive and protective the characters were, and how they discovered Tini's magical abilities.
I liked how quickly Lio became jealous and how he was scared about admitting his feelings for Ali and taking the leap, but finally gains the courage.

[Megan · Rating 5 out of 5]

We met Ali and Lio in Magic and Mocktails, and I loved getting their backstory in this book. Cozy fantasy is one of my new favorite genres because it is low stakes meaning no one is in mortal danger. This book delivers. It was an easy enjoyable read with a happy ending for everyone. I really liked seeing Tini and Echo develop their sisterly relationship and learning about their heritage. It’s also great how literally every character is so supportive of Ali and Echo when her surprise visitor comes to town at the end. I hope we get another book from this world Amber has created!

[Kendra Brown · Rating 4 out of 5]

Cozy is the right descriptor for this book. It was a fun read to drift back into this world with some familiar characters. Ali and Lio are both nymphs with very different element abilities (fire and water). The contrast in their powers felt like the way their personalities seemed to clash in the beginning. I loved the organic nature of their relationship as they worked through personal issues and with Ali's daughter and Lio's sister. It's more of a slow-burn than I typically go for, but it really worked out here and I didn't find myself missing the actual romance.

[Courtney Gittins · Rating 4 out of 5]

Yes to this book! This is a humorous cosy fantasy romance story that I devoured because it was an easy read, the characters were likeable, I found it laugh out loud funny and loved the magical vibes.

Read this book if you like: independent single mother with badass FMC vibes, grumpy/sunshine, slow burn, closed door romance, small town charm, found family.

This is book 2 in the series but is an interconnected standalone. This is the first book by this author and I had no trouble keeping up.

What a joy to read! I love to get drawn into a land of magic and romantasy and this book definitely hit that spot. Wonderful characters and delightful world creating that gives you a homey cosy feeling that will have you wanting more. Ali is a nymph with a 10 yo daughter who has the same fire trait as her mom and their story has a past that leads them in a journey to find life love and happiness. I received this eARC and gladly give it this honest review.

[Kittrina · Rating 4 out of 5]

Loved it! A nice little cozy fantasy that follows Lio the grumpy fire chief and Ali the sunshine glass blower as their somewhat awkward friendship that started in Magic and Mocktails (Book 1) blossoms into something much more beautiful. I very much enjoyed following along with Lio and Ali on their journey of growth, letting go and finally accepting that they are allowed to be happy no matter the past.

If you love a good grumpy x sunshine cozy fantasy this is definitely a book for you!

[Yael · Rating 3 out of 5]

A fun read, brimming with found-family kinship, slow burn romance, and a whole lot of character building. Though the major plot line--mild enemies to lovers in an environment where they are forced to confront their feelings for one another--is rather reminiscent of the first book in the series, it is a wonderful, cozy read; worth reading for a heart-warming time.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Sparkling the Vibe is a fantastic sequel that expands the world of Fairvale beautifully!

We get to know existing characters and their backstories on a much deeper level. Previous main characters become side characters, but they are still prominent in the story. We also learn a lot more about Nypmh culture and traditions.

The large, detailed map that was previously mostly unexplored feels more complete as we got to explore more places within the expansive world.

Thank You to author Amber Werner for the eARC copy! I'm excited for book 3!

This book is exactly a cozy romantasy. A interconnected standalone. It was enjoyable and sweet. Lio’s evolution was my favorite but I wanted alittle more from the story maybe an epilogue would have done it for me. Still a good sweet time though. Single mother trying to navigate life with troubles and side hustles. Grumpy MMC that needed to get it together. Sassy kids that make you feel all the feels.

I gave it 4 stars because while enjoyable, there was a lot of mention of names and I personally get lost in a large cast with a fast pace
