Olivia Brent has one summer to save the dairy farm she just inherited.

But there’s one problem, and it’s not her lactose intolerance.

Jake Milovic.

The brooding farmhand has inherited exactly fifty percent of Brent Farm, and he’s so convinced the city girl can’t work the land, he bets she can’t save it in a summer. 

Determined to prove him wrong, Olivia accepts what might be the dumbest wager of her life.

His strategy to win seems simple: follow her around, shirtlessly distracting her between bouts of relentless taunting. And it’s effective—if his dark eyes and rare smiles aren’t enough to sidetrack her, the sweaty, rolling topography of the manbeast’s body would do the trick.

What they don’t know: they’ll have to weather more than each other. 

Mysterious circumstances throw the farm into disarray, and with the dairy farm in danger, Olivia and Jake have to work together. But when they do, there’s more to fear than either of them imagined.

Because now their hearts are on the line, and the farm won’t be the only casualty if they fail.

Staci has been a lot of things up to this point in her life -- a graphic designer, an entrepreneur, a seamstress, a clothing and handbag designer, a waitress. Can't forget that. She's also been a mom, with three little girls who are sure to grow up to break a number of hearts. She's been a wife, though she's certainly not the cleanest, or the best cook. She's also super, duper fun at a party, especially if she's been drinking whiskey. When she's not writing, she's reading, sleeping, gaming, or designing graphics.

5 stars to PRIDE AND PAPERCUTS by Stacy Hart!

The Austen series is coming to an end. The final book in the series is LIVE! I'm so excited to read Pride & Papercuts, a modern love story inspired by Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice! Have you grabbed your copy yet?

Hate is a strong word.

Depending on the company, loathe is a good substitute. Abhor might be a little fancy, but it gets the job done. But the word that really sums up how I feel about Liam Darcy is, without question, hate.

He doesn’t seem to think much of me either. The second he lays his fault-seeking eyes on me, he sets out to oppose me. Everything about him is imposing, as if he consumes the nearby air to power the rise and fall of his broad chest, and it’s clear he resents my presence on his advertising team. Every idea I have is shot down. Every olive branch I offer is set on fire by nothing more than the blistering coals he calls eyes.

In return, I light him up with my words.

It’s not as if he can dismiss me, since I work for his client, Wasted Words. Instead, he’s forced to tolerate me, which seems the closest we’ll ever be to friends. Fine by me.

I can be civil and still hate Liam Darcy.

But if there’s more to him than his exterior shows, I won’t be able to hate him at all. I might stumble over that line between love and hate and fall right into his arms.

Christy's 5 star review

 

This was the thing I’d feared, the redemption I’d craved. Because now that I knew her power, I would be a slave to her. And I’d be shackled willingly.

Pride and Papercuts is not only an amazing enemies to lovers story, it's the ultimate Pride and Prejudice retelling. Seriously friends, this one is epic. I'll be the first to admit, I like Pride and Prejudice but I'm not a super fan or anything. Controversial opinion here I'm sure, but I loved this story more than the original. There was something so special about it and I couldn't get enough of Laney Bennet and Liam Darcy.

Laney Bennet and her brother Jett are the only two Bennet's that don't work in the family business. They work at Wasted Words- a bookstore/bar thats undergoing a new marketing campaign. Since Laney does all their social media and current marketing, she's heavily involved with the new launch. The company working with them is Liam and his sister Gerogie's.

Liam and Laney butt heads from the first moment they meet. They don't work well together at first, but they challenge each other in the best way. Still, they're openly hostile at times. Underneath the hostility, there is so much banter and tension. And you just know, when they finally do something about it it's going to be so explosive, so passionate... and it is.

Gahhh I loved this couple so much. Liam Darcy was the greatest broody hero. He's got his issues and he's the way he is for a reason, but he needs someone exactly like Laney in his life. Someone that challenges him and makes him see things differently. Laney was such a wonderful heroine. She's strong, stands up for what she believes in and is completely loyal. They make such a great pair.

“I’ll forgive you on one condition.” “Anything.” “Kiss me.” Smiling, he leaned in and said against my lips, “Always.” One word, and I was his. One kiss, and I was gone.

Another thing I truly loved about this book was not only did it have great side characters, there was a whole other side romance going on between Jett and Georgie. It was fun watching them fall in love and I enjoyed that part of the book so much. I also loved the relationship Laney had with Jett and Liam with Georgie. Strong sibling bonds are the best.

This was one of the most beautifully written, swoony, and sweep you off your feet romances I've read in 2020. It was such a glorious slow burn and I adored every page. Pride and Papercuts can be read as a stand alone, but if you've read Hart's other books (the Bennet Brothers, specifically) you might even love it more. Lovers of modern day retellings, forbidden romance, slow burn, and enemies to lovers- YOU NEED TO READ THIS!

Stella Spencer has one enemy—her secrets.

The world’s obsession with the Bright Young Things is real. Every lavish party thrown by the most exclusive group in New York is a spectacle, stalked not only by the media, but by the police commissioner, who’s declared war. He’s out to ruin everyone’s good time, starting with uncovering the mysterious benefactor leading the group, thus answering the question on everyone’s lips.

Who is Cecelia Beaton?

And no one knows it’s Stella.

If society finds out the truth, her plans will unravel. And with one smoldering look from a stranger, her carefully ordered world catches fire.

Levi Hunt has one plan—get the story.

His future at Vagabond magazine depends on his ability to do the one thing no one can: infiltrate the Bright Young Things. If he can find out who Cecelia Beaton is, he’ll earn enough notoriety to permanently secure his career.

His dreams are at his fingertips, so long as he doesn’t blow his cover. But one night with the brightest, most brilliant young thing of all, and he knows he’ll have to make a choice.

The job he loves or the woman of his dreams.

Secrets and lies. Love and laughter. And two people with something to hide and everything to gain.

Welcome to the party.

Christy's Review

“Have you ever felt alone in the world? Like you don’t belong anywhere? To anyone?” Something flashed behind his eyes, a certain sadness or regret. “I have.” “So have we. So has everyone. These parties are proof positive that we have a place to belong and people to belong to.

I’ve read almost all of Staci Hart’s books, and this one is different and I absolutely loved the concept! 

Star Bright is about a modern day Bright Young Things group in NYC throwing the best parties that are lavish and have mystery and only the elite are invited. Levi Hunt is a writer for a magazine and he needs on that list. He’s got a story in mind… he wants to find out who Cecelia Burton, the leader of the group, is. He finally gets his in, but it’s so much more than what he bargained for. 


Stella Spencer is part of this elite group and meets Levi at the first party he attends. They become enamored with each other, but both are keeping a huge secret. Levi can’t let Stella know he’s there for a story, and Stella can’t let him (or anyone for that matter) find out who she really is. It becomes uber complicated for the two. 

I was so nervous waiting for the other shoe to drop with these two. I wanted them to be together so badly, but I wasn’t sure how it would work. Stella is a fantastic character. She’s fun, happy, and has loads of friends, but she also has a side that doesn’t trust herself because she can trust the wrong people. She thought she had it right with Levi and my heart broke a little because I knew him keeping a secret would not end well. 

Levi was pretty freaking special as well. He grew up in New York like Stella, but it was an entirely different world. He has reasons for keeping his secrets and so does Stella. And while all this is going on, they start to fall harder and harder for one another. 

This book was so much fun to read. I loved so much about it. It was a magical escape that I needed so much right now! I’m so glad there will be more BYT books and I can’t wait to see who’s next! If you’re looking for a story full of passion, romance, and twists and turns. It was just the get away I needed from real life. Highly recommend!

“I don’t want yesterday or tomorrow. All I want is you and me and now.”

Falling in love with a Bennet is not an option.

My mother has summoned me home to take my place at Bower Bouquets, and as the heiress, I’m expected to do as I’m told. I’m expected to sit by her side as she does her best to decimate the Bennet family and their flower shop, Longbourne. I’m expected to play by her rules, or she’ll ruin me too.

But the day I crash into Marcus Bennet changes everything. And the kiss seals the deal. If my mother finds out, I’ll lose everything—my family, my life, my security. Worse, she’ll make sure the Bennets pay for my mistakes.

Falling in love with a Bennet is not an option.

But I might not have a choice.

Christy's Review: 

 

I am loving these Bennet books! I was really looking forward to this book because not only was it Marcus book, but it was a forbidden romance. Two feuding families, and romance ensues. Gah! I love it.

A Bower and a Bennet could never fall in love… but when Maisie Bower runs into Marcus Bennet, its love at first site. Until she finds out his name. Then she knows. It can never be. Except the connection and chemistry these two have is undeniable. Even though it seems impossible, they have to at least try to make it work.

Maisie and Marcus were both fantastic. I loved them together. Their love was so beautiful and pure. I also loved the secondary characters, the entire Bennet family as well as Maisie’s dad. It was great to get some of the parent’s back stories as well. I just love all these characters and this family so much!

I never tire of reading Staci Hart’s romantic comedies. They’re always fresh, fun, and make me smile. I especially love the little bit of angst the forbidden aspect of this story had and I can’t wait to read more from this series. If you’re looking for a swoony, sweet, and steamy read, pick up Mum’s the Word.

 

   

We poured ourselves in until each overflowed with the other, until neither could be distinguished. Together, our hearts stopped. Together, they kicked back to life.

 

COVER REVEAL: Staci Hart's Gilded Lily

Gilded Lily, the second in the Bennett Brothers series from Staci Hart, is coming in only 17 days. I am so excited! Check out the beautiful cover for this upcoming release. I love the vibe of this series and the covers are to die for! Mark your calendars for December 5th!

They say there’s no such thing as perfect. But I’ve built my life to perfection—the perfect boyfriend, the perfect apartment, the perfect career planning celebrity weddings. My job—my only job—is to make sure every event is absolutely and completely perfect.

What’s not perfect? Kash Bennet. 

And I wish I didn’t find that so appealing.  I could have told you every perfectly imperfect thing about the gardener at Longbourne. Like his hair, lush and black and far too long. Or his nose, the flat bridge of a Greek god, bent a little like it’s been broken. Or his size. Beastly. Roped and corded with muscles, gleaming with sweat and peppered with dirt.

There’s no escaping him, not if I’m going to use his family’s flower shop for my events.

But nothing is what it seems. And in the span of a heartbeat, my perfect life is turned inside out. 

They say the best way to get over somebody is to get under somebody new. When Kash offers his services to the cause, it sounds like the perfect plan.

What’s not part of the plan? Falling in love with the gardener.

But they were right—there’s no such thing as perfect. 

And I’m the fool who finds out the hard way.

Coming Up Roses
Bennet Brothers #1
Staci Hart

Everyone hates parts of their job.

Maybe it’s the paperwork. Maybe it’s the day-to-day grind. Maybe it’s that client who never knows what they want, or the guy who always cooks fish in the microwave.

But not me. I love every corner of the Longbourne Flower Shop, every flower, every petal, every stem. I love the greenhouse, and I love Mrs. Bennet, my boss. I love creating, and I love being a florist. I don’t hate anything at all.

Except for Luke Bennet.

The Bennet brothers have come home to help their mom save the flower shop, and Luke is at the helm. His smile tells a tale of lust, loose and easy. He moves with the grace of a predator, feral and wild. A thing unbridled, without rules or constraint. 

When he comes home to save Longbourne, I almost can’t be mad at him. 

Almost.

He doesn’t remember that night I’ll never forget. That kiss, touched with whiskey and fire. It branded me like a red-hot iron. But it meant nothing to him.

Everyone hates part of their job, and I hate Luke Bennet.
Because if I don’t, I’ll fall in love with him.

CHRISTY'S REVIEW:

 

 
   

“I don’t want to be your fling. I want to be your everything.”

Coming Up Roses is Staci Hart's newest rom-com and as soon as it landed on my kindle, I dove in. I can't resist this author's stories! They are always so good, they make me laugh, and have so much heart. This one was no exception.

Tess has worked at the Bennet's flower-shop since high school. She loves her job- everything about it. Well, everything except the owner's son, Luke. Luke and Tessa used to be friends in high school but something happened that made Tess loathe him. And the worst part is, Luke has no idea what it was he did to make her hate him. Luke is back in town for the first time in a long time and newly single. He's happy to be home to help his family, but he's confused by Tess's behavior toward him. Soon enough, she fills him in...

Tess and Luke are proof that opposites attract. Tess is level headed, always has a plan, and thrives on consistency and stability. Luke is a go with the flow, always on the move, adventurer. It would seem this couple would have nothing in common and no way would they work out, but they are a great pairing.

Luke was a hero I wasn’t sure I was going to love at the start. He didn’t give the best first impression, but boy was I wrong. There was so much more to him than meets the eye. Luke was kind, giving, free-spirited, and would do anything for those he loves. He ended up being my favorite character of the book by far. Though I do hope we get some of the Bennet siblings books... Tess was a lot different than Luke and it took her a while to warm up and come around, but once she did, they were perfect together. I loved this couple and the way they balanced each other out.

She wound her arms around my neck, threading her fingers. “Look at you, acting like a grown-up.”

“And look at you. A little bit wild.”

I truly adored this book, but there was a part towards the end I wasn't so crazy about. It ended up working out okay, and let me just say the heroine is a bigger person than I would be in this scenario, but it did put a bit of a damper on how much I loved the book overall. By the end, I was happy and it was a great read, but that made the difference of it being a 4 star read opposed to a 5.

If you're looking for a sweet and sexy slow burn romance with a hero that will have you swooning hard, pick this one up!

Tess was my new adventure.

Piece of Work | Player | Work In Progress

Marble isn’t the only thing that’s hard at this museum.

His body is as chiseled as Adonis. His lips are as sculpted as David. And his ego is the size of the Guggenheim.

You know the type—wolfish smile and the gravity of a black hole. The kind of man who sucks all the air from the room the second he enters it. My cocky boss thinks this internship was wasted on me, and he doesn’t hesitate to let me know.

But he’s wrong, and I’m going to prove it to him. If I can stay away from his devil lips, that is. Lips that cut me down and kiss me in the same breath, leaving me certain he’s on a mission to ruin my life.

And maybe my heart, too.

He’s a player.

He plays the bass with expert fingers. He plays women with intoxicating charm. And he’ll play me with the ease of a virtuoso.

Who better to teach me to play than the master himself?

I’m his model student, front row, pencil sharp. Pick up lines? I’ve got them. Free drinks? By the dozen. Kissing? Let me grab my chapstick.

But the most valuable lesson I’ve learned is that there’s so much I don’t know. Like why his touch sets off a chain reaction straight to my nethers. Or how I’m certain each kiss is the best I’ll ever have, until the moment his lips take mine again.

There’s so much I don’t know.
Like the fact that I’m only a bet.
But we are what we are. He’s a player, through and through.

And I’m the fool who fell in love with him.

I never thought my first kiss would be on my wedding day.

But here I stand, clutching a bouquet of pale pink roses behind the doors of a Las Vegas chapel, and at the end of the aisle is the absolute last man I imagined would be waiting for me.

Thomas Bane.

Bestselling author. Notorious bad boy. Savagely handsome, dark as sin, chiseled as stone. And somehow, my soon-to-be husband.

Marry him, and I’ll land my dream job. Save him, and I’ll walk away with everything I’ve ever wanted. All I have to do is remember it’s all for show. None of it is real, no matter how real it feels.

But first, I have to survive the kiss.

And with lips like his, I don’t stand a chance.
