Review of Coming up Roses by Staci Hart


COMING UP ROSES

"He was feral, a thing unbridled, without rules or constraint. He went where he wanted, did what he chose."

When Luke gropes the wrong woman at his family's iconic florist shop, he's thrilled to realize just who the gropee is. Unfortunately for him, (and for her), Tess is far, far less than thrilled when Luke grabs her, thinking she's Ivy, her friend and Luke's former friend with benefits. She's hated Luke for years, ever since he forgot about the kiss he laid on her on one of the most heartbreaking nights she's ever experienced. And now the laconic but charming playboy is back in town to help his siblings save their family's florist business. But, she can just avoid him until he does his usual thing and leaves to roam around the world where his next whim takes him. Surely it will be easy to avoid him, right?

"One of my particular joys in life was making her uncomfortable in the hopes she'd reveal a crack in the wall or the flesh of her soft little underbelly."

Except Tess hadn't counted on the interest she's sparked in him. Suddenly, he's doing his best to get under her skin, to get a reaction from her other than just shooting daggers at him from glacial eyes. Can she ever forgive Luke for forgetting that kiss? Can she really give in and have some fun with him, the man who broke her still sore heart? If Luke has anything to say about it, if his legendary charm works on her, then definitely YES!

"Forever used to feel like a cage, a trap, but then you taught me that forever is an adventure, and I want to spend every minute of it with you."

Coming Up Roses is just as sweet as the gorgeous blooms Tess and Luke handle all day. But it's not just that, Luke and Tess make a compelling couple. From their first anger-filled tanglings, down to the last word in the epilogue, where it shows how very much their relationship had developed, Coming Up Roses proved just how adept Staci Hart is at weaving a fantastic love story. I've loved everything of Staci Hart's that I've ever read, and Coming Up Roses continues that love. If sweet, sexy, snarky fun are your thing, then I highly recommend you download your copy of Coming Up Roses today!

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...

Coming back to my small Wyoming hometown was supposed to be temporary. I only planned to stay long enough to help my ailing mother and sort through the mess of my family’s old belongings. Instead, I somehow ended up living in Evan Ricci’s house. The single dad now owned a bunch of properties and one of them was the place I’d rented. He’d taken it off the market and moved in before I got there. I just never got the memo. Unfortunately, there was no other place in town available, so Evan let me stay. Evan—the guy my parents took in years a...
