Some universal truths refuse to be ignored.
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*

Review by Iza
Ahhhh, Tyler <3
No, seriously, he's absolutely perfect! He's this sweet and swoon-worthy guy, the one you can always count on and know he'd never break your heart.
But this book is not only about Tyler. It's a really heartfelt story about two best friends, roommates that do almost everything together; they hang out all the time, they know each other better than anyone else. Our heroine, Cam is an expert match-maker. Or so she says and thinks. I have to admit, her meddling kind of pissed me off, her thinking she knew better than others. You'll see what I mean when you read the story.
But she's had some issues she never managed to fix, about and at herself. The entire battle she has to wage is against herself, not others. Again, you'll get it when you'll read the book.
So, this gave me a lot of happy feels, especially the ending. 4.5 stars. I really love Staci Hart's writing style. Pulls you right in and keeps you in the story. I want to thank the author for the copy 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, with 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, cleaning, or designing graphics.
