RELEASE BLITZ & 4 STAR REVIEW: Run For Your Honey by Staci Hart

Twelve years ago, my first and only love left town and never came back.

How dare he show up now, looking like that.

And? He’s running against me for mayor.

It’s unfair, him standing there, too tall and handsome for his own good. It’s audacious that his clothes accentuate every lean, strong curve of his body. It’s universal BS that his smile makes my heart flipflop, and it’s patently un-freaking-believable that my body would betray me when he turns that gorgeous smile on me.

I’ll do whatever it takes to win, and he knows it.

But when he kisses me, all bets are off.

If I win, he leaves.

If he wins, I lose.

And either way, he breaks my heart.

But for reals, grab it ASAP! mybook.to/RunForYourHoney

My Review

I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review.

This book is an A+ enemies to lover story. Poppy and Duke were the high school sweethearts who everyone thought would get married. Then he went away to college and never came back. But now Duke is back in town and he is after the job that Poppy wants. 

From the moment Duke and Poppy lay eyes on each other again, it is very clear that there is a lot of unfinished business between them. And how they work through that business was them jumping each other any chance they got. Whatever works, right? 

This is a sweet book and I adored Poppy and Duke. The way they chose to work out their differences may have not been the greatest idea, but in the end it helped them realize what they really wanted. 

I really do love the Blum family. They are such a tight knit group and are always there for one another. And then there is the town who are mostly in Poppy's corner. We know from previous books how they can come together to help one of their own and this book is no different. I'll definitely miss this small Texas town and their quickly characters. 

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.

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: On the Honey Side by Staci Hart

On the Honey Side by Staci Hart, a brand new grump sunshine, rom-com, is available NOW! This new release is the perfect weekend binge. Grab your copy today, available now on Amazon and in Kindle Unlimited!

"On the Honey Side is as heartwarming as it is hilarious. It blends the humor of matchmaking with the heat of a slow burn for a cocktail I can't resist and will beg for time and time again. Sweet, touching, and subtly steamy, it was the perfect romantic comedy to get lost in at the end of a hectic day. An easy five-star and must read of 2022!" - bestselling author Kandi Steiner

 

No one can ever have Keaton Meyer.

Least of all me.

The brooding construction manager is a man of myth and legend, rarely seen in the wild. Once upon a time, he was the star quarterback, the smiling homecoming king, royalty in our small town. Until tragedy struck. And then he disappeared completely.

Now he’s resurfaced, and I can’t keep my eyes off him.
He’s an island surrounded by lava, bound by a desert and guarded by dragons. I don’t stand a sunshine’s chance in a hail storm.

Our siblings disagree and are out to prove it, nudging us into each other in the hopes we’ll fall. But with our town in tumult and the two of us firmly in the middle, nothing between us is easy. And when he’s faced with an impossible decision, I learn the truth of what I already knew.

No one can have Keaton Meyer.

And I have the broken heart to prove it.

My Review

I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review. 

I am sucker for the "I don't think I deserve love, but now I've met you and I am questioning everything" trope. And in this book we get TWO characters who subscribe to this. Sure, one feels this more than the other, but it's still wonderful. 

Daisy and Keaton are wonderful together. She's sunshine. He's grumpy. It's just...*chef's kiss*. Thanks to both of their families' meddling, Daisy and Keaton find themselves thrown into situations where it's just the two of them. They decide that being friends is probably the best thing to do. But we all know how that usually goes. 

I really do love the Blum family and all the good people of Lindenbach. And I say the "good" people for a reason. This book tackles some heavy topics and I loved the way the town came together to make things right. I just get the warm and fuzzies when when read Staci's books. It makes me want to go to these non existent places and befriend everyone.

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.

"Leave me with this book, the characters and the bees and I’ll be one happy reader - probably forever." - The Chatty Romance Reader

 

When the devil comes to town, you have to meet him head on.

 
Which is exactly what I did when Grant Stone rolled into our small Texas town, driving a sports car I could fit in the bed of my truck, wearing a suit as black as his soul. He’s here to acquire mineral rights to half a dozen farms in town.

 
And there’s no way he’s getting mine.

 
I don’t make deals with the devil.

 
So when he challenges me to show him the small town ropes, my motivation is the prospect of seeing him make a fool of himself. He might have an angle, but if he thinks he can finagle me into endangering my bee farm, he’s got another thing coming.

 
Until the line in the sand is washed away.

 
My farm in danger. A town in upheaval. A man who will stop at nothing to get what he wants.

 
And me in the middle.

 
When the devil comes to town, you have to meet him head on.

 
And when he sneaks into your heart, he’ll only break it.

My Review

I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review. 

This book had me laughing from the first chapter.  The egg throwing incident set the tone for a back and forth between Grant and Jo that I really enjoyed. It's start off a bit hostile since Grant is looking to buy Jo's family land, but it slowly turned into something else. 

Jo's plan to drive Grant away by trying to humiliate him as much as possible is not even remotely successful. All it did was allow Jo to see him as an actual person and not the devil she assumed he was. Meanwhile Grant, who originally is very out of place in the small Texas town, slowly starts to fit in and even wins some people over. 

I loved this book. It's sweet and funny and even downright sexy at times. Jo and Grant had fantastic chemistry and I loved how their relationship progressed. There were these brief moments when I wasn't sure where they stood with each other, but then something would happen that reassured me. Of course Grant wasn't the big bad wolf that he appeared to be and I loved discovering the person he really was. Winnie played a big part in that and I appreciated that she really did stick to her guns the whole time. She may have had a few moments where she wavered a bit, but honestly, who wouldn't?

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.

4 Star Review: Friends with Benedicts by Staci Hart

 

Timing is everything.

Presley Hale and Sebastian Vargas are no strangers to goodbye. Their high school summers were spent wrapped up in each other until she would inevitably go home to California. One season after college, Sebastian finally escaped the little Texas town to travel the world, and they said goodbye for what they thought might be the last time.

Sebastian went one way. Presley went the other.

For the first time in five years, they’re both in town, but the timing is no better than ever. So the only thing to do is what they do best. Keep it casual.

Friends with benefits.

They’ve done it before—doing it again will be easy.

But their hearts don’t get the memo.

When the lines of their arrangement blur, Presley and Sebastian are faced with decisions they’ve avoided for years. And that’s not even their biggest problem.

A small town in danger of failing.

A secret that could tear them apart.

And two hearts that can’t hide anymore.

They’ve shared so many summers, but none compare to what they’ll face.

Timing is everything.

And their time is almost up.

My Review

I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review. 

As you can probably glean from the title of this book, this has the friends with benefits trope, but it also has a few others thrown in. Can I interest you in small town romance and  a secret baby? If so, this is the book for you. 

Sebastian and Presley have always had terrible timing. Having only spent summers together (Presley would visit her family) while they were in high school, they find themselves once again in the same places. Except this time, Presley is the one staying put and Sebastian is leaving. Or is he?

I enjoyed this book. It was sweet and funny and an easy read. It gives us plenty of secondary characters, most importantly, Presley's cousins. They made me laugh out loud multiple times throughout the book and I am looking forward to reading their stories!

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: Bet the Farm by Staci Hart

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.

My Review

 

I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review. 

This book was a lot of fun. This is Staci's first time writing a small town romance and she knocked it out of the park! It was clear that she did her homework, so when you read about the every day workings of the farm, it was very realistic/believable. While I was reading I could picture everything that was happening. 

I was a little worried that Olivia would be written as someone returning to the farm and lots of embarrassing mishaps would ensue. Of course there were some since she had been away from the farm for a long time, but it wasn't overkill and she had no problem turning them into something positive for her overall goals. 

There are plenty of laugh out loud moments in this book, but there are also some sweet, poignant moments. Both Olivia and Jake have lost someone very special to them and they have to learn how to navigate the grieving process. So while I consider this to be a fun story, it is also a story about healing.
