Title: Wasted Words
Author: Staci Hart
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Release Date: May 19, 2016
Peanut butter and jelly are a match made in heaven. Spaghetti and meatballs are best friends forever. And guys like Tyler Knight don’t go for girls like Cam Emerson.
She knew from the second she met him that he didn’t belong on her bookshelf, the six-foot-six ex-tight end with a face so all-American, it could have sold apple pie. So she shelved him next to the supermodels and rock stars and took her place on her own shelf — the one with the flannel-clad, pasty-faced comic book nerds. Most of her boyfriends have existed between the pages of books, but rather than worrying over her own lacking love life, she puts all her energy into playing Cupid, using her job at the book bar, Wasted Words, as her stomping ground.
Tyler Knight always looks on the bright side. His career-ending injury turned into a job as a sports agent. A horrible breakup led him to Cam, his quirky, smart roommate who is far more beautiful than she realizes. She’s made it perfectly clear she’s not interested in him — not like that at least — but if she ever changes her mind, he won’t hesitate. Because he doesn’t see the lines she’s drawn between them, as much as she insists that they’re there. Deep down he knows that despite their differences, they’re a match well made.
*A romantic comedy inspired by Jane Austen’s Emma*
Staci Hart won me over with her Bad Habits series but this Wasted Words has to be my favorite book of her's ever!
Cam the comic loving, reading obsessed, self-proclaimed nerd, loves her job at at book store/bar and adores her roommate Tyler.
Tyler is everything wet dreams are made of. His dreams of playing in the NFL were ruined when he was severely injured in college. Instead of letting the loss of his dream bring him down, he dove head first into his career as an agent to help others achieve their dreams.
They say opposites attract and these two sent sparks flying higher than the moon, even when they were"pretending" not to be romantically interested.
The book had everything, laughs, melt your heart moments, and times where I wanted to shake some sense into Cam and smack the hell out of a certain person.
Not to mention there are some cameos from some of our favorite Bad Habits characters.
It doesn't hurt that it was inspired by Emma by Jane Austen.
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, cleaning, or designing graphics.
