"Dance with me, Mrs. Bane."
Oh what a dance it was...
Hello everyone! Now, I have been very busy over the past few days. I just adopted a new puppy and teaching him potty training has become stressful! Anyways, I did put some time to read some books this past week and one of them was Work in Progress by Staci Hart. I was provided an ARC by the author (THANK YOU!) and let's just say...I have a lot of things to say.
But first here is the synopsis:
❈
Her fake husband is a Work In Progress…
Work in Progress, an all-new romantic
comedy from Staci Hart, is available now!
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.

Now, to the review!
Like I stated before, I was generously given an ARC (advanced reader's copy) by the author and i am very thankful for it. That being said I do have some thoughts about this book.
"Say something! You are a mess, Amelia Hall. You have to tell him who you are."
Let me start off by saying Amelia Hall is my Spirit Sister. I love her so much and I just want to protect her from the world. From the moment I met her in Piece of Work, I knew I was going to be bonded to her. She is a bookwork, introvert, she suffers through anxiety which some of us have. So when Staci announced that the next book in the RLC was going to be about her, I was excited and worried. I was worried on what kind of guy Amelia was going to get paired up with. I needed to protect my bunny at all cost, people!
"You know, I've caught myself watching you hands, thinking how sexy they are...They're so small, so delicate. Sometimes, I wonder what they'd look like...full."
Thomas Bane, you little devil! Tommy had one of the truest, noblest hearts of any male lead I have read about. Surprising, I know! Tommy was so serious about his ethics, his morals, that it pushed him too far into trouble in the past. Which is so understandable, especially in the world we live in now. Doing the right things can sometimes lead to consequences you never expected to face. But when he is paired up with Amelia...shit is about to go down!
He and Amelia had very similarly matched priorities and ethical codes, so not only were they well matched, but Tommy responded well to Amelia's help since they were so well and equal. He was funny, cracking plenty of chuckle-worthy one-liners, and kind, so selfless in his courtship of Amelia, and just overall everything you'd want in a male lead. I loved that he was an author, loved how well constructed his character was from the inside out. Just watching their relationship progress through the book just took my heart. They were a perfectly matched couple who needed to be written and who better than Staci to write them.
It was awesome seeing the other characters and their boys. My loves, Val and Sam, were beautiful as always and Rin with Court, powerful but sweet. We also did get to meet Theo Bane, Tommy's twin brother, plus his mother, Sarah, who is an angel from above. Then the bitches who tried to ruing people's happiness...BYE!
Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆
Overall, the book was beautiful. I wouldn't say it's my favorite book written by Staci Hart (That goes to A Thousand Letters). But if you are a fan of friendship, a bit of grovel, and just plain out romance and its beauty, then this would be a good read for you. Plus, I can't wait for the next one...Katherine, girl, I'm ready for your roller coaster!
"Hello, Theodore. It's nice to meet you."
Rather than pump it in a shake, he flipped it over and pressed a kiss to her knuckles. "Nice to meet you, Katherine."
BITCH!!
Thanks for reading!!

Hope your lucky stars look after you all!!
