Title: Last Call
Author: Staci Hart
Release Date: February 15th 2016
Synopsis
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.

Review by Iza
This book was the best of surprises! I love when that happens. You read a book by an author you haven't read before and it turns out to be the best choice you've made in a while.
Even though this one's part of a series - there are two previous books - I never once felt confused or like I need to put this one down and read the other two, in order to understand who, what, where and how. I quickly became familiar with the side characters that already had their stories told. Or not yet. *cough* Joel *cough*.
Let me just say how much I loved Rosie. She's my kind of girl. She's strong, she's badass, and even though she's hurting, it doesn't weaken her. Yes, so she tries online dating - man, I both cringed and laughed at those dates - but it's all because she wants to forget her ex. An ex that also happened to be her best friend. One who dumped her when things became serious, but realized his mistake and wanted her back. Now, that normally doesn't endear a guy to me, but Patrick? Or Tricky, as his friends called him? He's just the hottest and sweetest of fictional heroes to have ever been written! One rarely comes across the perfect combination of dirty, but swoon-worthy and sweet. So he's stubborn and made me want to shake some sense into him! So what? I have to say, I fell for him, head-over-heels!
So, quick recap. Funny? Check. Hot? Check. Awesome heroine? Check. Swoon-worthy hero? Double check! A teensie bit frustrating? Well, yes, because both of them are stubborn, so it's not easy.
Rosie and Patrick's love story isn't easy, but when they get there, when they start their HEA... *sigh*
I'm guessing you've realized I pretty much loved the heck out of this book, I'm 5-starring it like you wouldn't believe, and I'm going to read more by Ms. Staci Hart because she's awesome.
I want to thank the author for the copy that was given in exchange for my honest review.
Author Bio
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.
