Once Rose Fisher makes a decision, that’s it. End of story.

Like when her ex, Patrick, dumped her out of the blue, then showed up with a super hot, tatted up sex kitten on his arm. Then it was over for good. The end. Poof. Dead to her. Except he was everywhere — down the hall, at the bar with their friends, worming his way into her dreams.

But with their friends paired off, they’re left alone more and more. Rose is determined to keep him friendzoned — doesn’t matter that he stares at her with a smolder that drops all panties in a ten foot radius. She’s over him, and she’ll prove it by getting back into the dating game, Patrick be damned.

Patrick Evans is no stranger to consequences. When your mother walks out, your dad drifts away. When you leave home, you’re on your own. And when you run away from the girl you love, you lose her. He finally has an opportunity to rebuild the bridge he burned, and it’s not one he’ll take for granted. But he’ll have to fight for her, even if it hurts. Even if it means he’ll walk away brokenhearted. Because deep down, he knows that she’s it for him.

The trick will be to get her to admit she feels it too.

How do I even begin to explain my love for this book?

The story between Tricky and Rose is like the dying embers of a fire. If left alone, it could die away completely, leaving charred remains, or with one small breathe of life, it can become a raging inferno of passion and warmth. My heart had always been a bit broken from the failed first chance between these two. When I started reading LAST CALL, there was a twinge of pain in my heart and I wondered if Staci was going to break it even more. Every time something would happen there would be another twinge and then another. I doubted where she was taking me but in the end I realized she wasn’t breaking my heart. Instead Staci sewed it back together and made is whole again.

This book makes you feel BIG time. So let me share my thoughts about LAST CALL through my emotion…

1. Annoyance. When you read a book in dual POVs you get the big picture affect as well as the emotional turmoil. Being able to see and understand both Tricky and Rose’s thoughts and emotions just made me crazy. I wanted to smack them both upside the head and make them see what they could be. The annoyance displayed my investment in these two and my hope for something beautiful.
2. Jealousy. Let me tell you… This book makes me green with envy. I love every single person in this book. I want every single secondary character to come alive and be my friends forever. Their friendships and comradery is something that people long for. I was also jealous of Rose. Because… dayum that Tricky. Tricky has skyrocketed straight into my top 5 book boyfriends of all time. He is kind, loyal, and perfect. Add in a smokin’ body covered in tattoos and a smile that lights you up inside… Perfect.
3. Hope. Throughout the entire story, from cover to cover, all you can do is place the fragile hope in Staci’s hands. There is a lot of trust that takes place in that author and reader relationship but the reward far outweighs the risk. There is a beautiful thread of hope and excitement woven in this story that gives the reader something to hold onto.
4. Passion. This book is FULL of passionate encounters, both negative and positive. When these characters feel something, it is with their entire being. They are passionate about their hatred and their love. That in turn made me very passionate about the outcome of this book. Everything happens for a reason and being able to understand the raw emotion behind those actions leave a mark on your heart.
5. Obsession. The final emotion is by far the strongest. You know when you see the characters you love working through their issues and trying to stand on solid ground, you become obsessed with where the story leads them. I guess to say I was “invested in the outcome” is a less passionate way of saying it. Seeing everything from the emotion of the story to the reaction of the characters, your hope is intertwined in a way that is slightly terrifying and exciting.

Staci Hart rocked it. Tricky and Rose have the perfect story that embodies what they needed and what they had to do. This book is forever on my top recommendation list for years to come. LAST CALL is a story of second chances and learning to let the fear go. Those are some of my favorite themes, coupled with some of my favorite book people, well, the combination is perfection. I tip my hat to the Bad Habits gang, sad to see them go, but oh so satisfied in what has been!

Love is somewhere near the bottom of Lily Thomas’ list of life goals, right next to competitive eating and underwater cave diving. She’s spent six years pirouetting and pliéing her way up the ranks of the New York Ballet with her eye on the prize and love in the back seat. But now that Blane Baker — Lily’s long time crush — is finally single, she’ll throw her rules out the window without thinking twice.

Reality with Blane isn’t as epic as the fantasy she imagined, and the truth sends her spinning straight into the arms of the man she never knew she’d always wanted.

West Williams has been friends with Lily since the day she moved into their building and he saved her armoire from a swift, sudden death by staircase. Their friendship has always been easy, the boundaries clearly defined. With neither of them willing to risk their relationship, they’ve drifted happily through the years as companions, never considering more.

That is, until they do. And that realization changes everything.

Everyone knows you should never say never.

Cooper Moore never saw Maggie Williams coming. She was just his best friend’s little sister, the curly-haired, freckle-faced girl from Mississippi who was absolutely off limits. And he never thought about her any other way — not until he saw her that night, broken and brave. From that moment on, he knew he’d do whatever it took to protect her, even if it meant he had to stay away.

Maggie never expected to find her fiancé banging her maid of honor an hour before she was set to walk down the aisle, but life’s funny that way. The only option to save her sanity is to get the hell out of Jackson and move to New York where her brother lives. The only downside: Cooper is there too. And she just doesn’t know if she can stay away from him — the filthy rich, dead sexy playboy who’s allergic to commitment.

The second Maggie sees him again, she realizes he’ll be impossible to resist. Luckily, commitment is the last thing on her mind, and Cooper is the perfect escape. As long as she can keep her heart in check, everything will be just fine. Because she can never have feelings for him. Or at least that’s what she’ll keep telling herself.

Chaser is a standalone romantic comedy and book 2 of the Bad Habits series.

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; she has three little girls who are sure to grow up to break a number of hearts. She’s been a wife; even 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. Her favorite word starts with f and ends with k.

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 sleeping, gaming, or designing graphics.
