Hi, book buddies :-) Don't you feel extremely excited when you read an author for the first time and find out that you looooove her words? :-D

I'm new to STACI HART and I love her!

I can't believe how beautiful her words and her story of WORK IN PROGRESS is. No buts, no disappointment, just pure story-lust.

MY OPINION

Hilarious, brilliantly written, and deliciously hot.

Starstruck by male beauty. Is that a thing? Amelia and I concur in this distinct possibility. The most delectable and charming star has risen among male writers, and Amelia, the shy and quirky blogger, is about to get in burning contact with him.

This sweet relationship is adorable! And it touched me on many levels as this man is so patient and understanding inside that glorious physique, and she is pathologically shy but loving and spreads her wings in such inspiring ways. And she is a book blogger so we all feel a little bit like her, right? :-) And wish we had her luck!

The conversations spark with funny energy and mix with the captivating chemistry that sizzles between Tommy and Amelia. He's the gorgeous giant, the perfect man to feature in every woman's fantasies at night, and she's socially impaired yet creative, innocent and gentle. A muse to the problematic genius.

Every time they kiss is a burst of fluffly hotness. Every time they speak it is full of loveliness, honesty and mischief. Such a tantalizing effect!

It's a whirlwind romance that touches deeply on trust, how far it takes us to give it fully, the heart-breaking consequences of sulling it and the healing, loving, magical qualities of forgiveness.

I laughed out loud and felt warm inside, I fell in love and got my little heart smashed, I cried actual tears and even learned to let go of a grudge from the past. All because of Amelia and Tommy, their dog and cat, this fake marriage for the media to reform a fake bad boy who's really an honourable, trustworthy man who loves with all his heart.

Surprisingly, it's my first novel by this author, and it completely fascinated me. The characters vibrate with the kind of life that makes you wish they were flesh and bone as they already feel real, lovable and admirable.

The Red Lipstick Coalition of brave girls is another winning point. These friends shine with wit and naughty sense of humour., and I can't wait to read about aloof Katherine's misstep.

This novel hooked me with the promise of a naïve bride that would change a famous writer's public life and utterly conquered me with its adorable humour, delectable passion, and sensitive, poignant sense of romance. Gorgeous!

Favourite Quotes:

It almost felt like warfare and his primary weapon was pheromones.

This seems like the right moment for tea.

That mouth was a plce of holy worship.

Time would see the tsunami of distrust receding to leave the truth.

Love isn't perfect, but forgiveness is absolute.

Her fake husband is a Work In Progress…

an all-new romantic comedy from Staci Hart,

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, my heart doesn’t stand a chance.

Enjoy an excerpt:

The hall bathroom door opened, consequently stopping the earth’s orbit and flinging me into space for lack of gravity. Thomas Bane stepped out of the doorway in slow motion, propelled by a cloud of steam that licked at his glistening body like it wanted to taste him. His hair was black, wet, curling and dripping in rivulets down the planes and valleys of his expansive chest and abs and narrow hips. He had that thing, the trough of muscle bracketing his hips that caught sluicing water and carried it in an angle that would eventually reach that unknown terrain beneath his towel. I saw the ghost of that terrain, the long, cylindrical bulge that was substantial enough to clearly state its presence, even through the thick towel.

He smirked, dragging his hand through his wet hair. I salivated, watching droplets of water roll down his forearm and collect on the tip of his erotic elbow. “You’re up,” he said. I blinked, not knowing when I’d set my coffee down or how many minutes—hours? years?—had passed in the time I spent ogling his body. He sauntered into the room like he wasn’t basically naked. I tried unsuccessfully not to stare at his knees, the place where his ropy thigh connected, the angular muscles of his calves, the curve of his ankle, the broad pad of his foot. He was perfectly proportioned.

Michelangelo would have carved him twenty feet tall, and women would have worshipped at his perfect feet. Gus bounced when he saw Tommy, his toys forgotten. And when Gus took off running, Tommy stopped, eyes widening and hands splayed in front of him. “Gus, no,” he commanded. To no one’s surprise, Gus did not listen. He barked once, snagged the hem of Tommy’s towel, and whipped it off him in a single tug that exposed every inch of skin on Thomas Bane’s ridiculous body. Thank God my coffee was already on the counter. I’d have gotten third-degree burns. For a split second, Tommy was frozen there in all his natural glory, poised to run after his dog, his face drawn and eyes locked on the sweet, disobedient dog. He wasn’t paying any attention to me. I, however, gave him my full and undivided consideration. His thighs were a mass of muscle so hard and defined, the tops were planes that came to a notch at his knee and a point where it met his hip. My eyes caught that trough that had before disappeared and followed it where it pointed—straight to the thatch of dark hair and the member nestled there. The very thick, very long, mostly limp member. If I stared at it a second longer, I was going to faint—my vision was already dim, my pulse pumping so hard, I could feel it in my neck, at the back of which a cold sweat had broken. But he shifted to run after Gus, who was galloping away, trailing the towel behind him.

“Dammit, Gus! Gimme that!” Then it was the back of him I saw, his hair, the streaming water rolling down all the curves of his shoulders, his back, the valley of his spine, and down to the most perfect ass I’d ever seen in real life. Well, the only ass I’d ever seen in real life that wasn’t my own, and even that I couldn’t get a good look at without a mirror. Seriously, that ass. That perfectly sculpted ass, round and tight and curved in the sides, shifting from one side to the other as he ran after the damn dog. My gaze caught a tattoo on one ass cheek, and I squinted at it, trying to make it out. Tommy bent to snag the end of the towel—I caught sight of his sack and almost dissolved through the floor in an acidic puddle of embarrassment—but when he pulled, Gus spun around, ass in the air and tail wagging as he growled, pulling back.

A string of obscenities left Tommy’s mouth, but I was still gaping and staring at his ass. I realized that I was laughing. It sounded like someone else in a different room. I wondered absently if this was how it felt to have a stroke.

ABOUT THE MASTERMIND

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. From roots in Houston to a seven year stint in Southern California, Staci and her family ended up settling somewhere in between and equally north, in Denver. They are new enough that snow is still magical. When she's not writing, she's reading, sleeping, gaming, or designing graphics.
