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.
✯✯5 Bad Boy Filled Stars!!✯✯
Whenever I find out the release date to Staci Hart’s next release I’m blocking my day bc I know it’s going to be another must read. Work In Progress is definitely a MUST READ!!!
Amelia is not a people person. If you’re outside of her tight small circle you’re lucky if she speaks. Amelia doesn’t leave her house unless her friends drag her somewhere. She lives in between the pages of her books.
Amelia’s a blogger. Her blog blew up after a review for a book by author Thomas Bane. She makes a living doing it. When her boss sends her to a book signing for Thomas Bane, Amelia’s not happy. She’s shocked that he knows exactly who she is when she says her name. After they get into it over his male characters he ends up flipping her mind bc he offers her a job.
Thomas AKA Tommy to those closest to him. He’s got that bad boy reputation. Between his ex girlfriends and him walking into situations where he’s at the wrong place at the wrong time. Bc of all that the only two people Tommy trusts are his mom and twin brother Theo. Everybody else has to sign a NDA so he can make sure him, his family and their secrets are safe.
Tommy waits for Amelia to review his latest books. Their honest and to the point. She’s also always right. He’s past his deadline to his publisher for his upcoming release. His publisher doesn’t know Tommy is having writers block.
Tommy gets a rush meeting her. After talking to her he instantly knows in order for him to finish his book he needs Amelia to help. Amelia gives him amazing advice and help immediately.
Before he can finish his book Tommy gets himself into trouble yet again. When his publisher wants to drop him. Now Tommy and Theo are trying to do damage control. Tommy gets his publisher to agree not to drop him. But, he must make an image change. He’s gotta finish his book in a month and have his image do a 180 degree change.
Again Tommy looks to Amelia for help. He’s not 100% sure what it is about her but he trusts her. Together they realize they can help each other. Tommy needs his book done and image change. Amelia needs to get out more. Needs to be able to socialize and speak with strangers. Together it’s a win win.
Except there’s people looking to get inside their relationship. To know the nitty gritty details. Tommy and Amelia are handling the people as they come.
These two realize they understand each other. Bring out the best in each other. They still have to get to really know each other. Before Tommy and Amelia get their HEA they must get thru everybody breathing down their backs.
OMG this book was amazing!!! Tommy is swoon worthy and all around amazing guy. He truly wants to take care of his mom. But, there’s always something in the way of him being able to just do what he wants. Amelia makes him feel things he’s never felt before.
Amelia is another amazing person. From the very beginning all she wants to do is help Tommy. She knew he was an amazing author but was in a funk. She’d do anything to help him. Including loosing her dream job.
Let’s not forget the last few sentences. The last paragraph had my heart in my throat. I need Katherine’s story like yesterday!!

Excerpt:
The hall bathroom door opened, consequently stopping the earth’s orbit and flinging me into space for lack of gravity.
Thomas Bane stepped out of the doorway in slow motion, propelled by a cloud of steam that licked at his glistening body like it wanted to taste him. His hair was black, wet, curling and dripping in rivulets down the planes and valleys of his expansive chest and abs and narrow hips. He had that thing, the trough of muscle bracketing his hips that caught sluicing water and carried it in an angle that would eventually reach that unknown terrain beneath his towel. I saw the ghost of that terrain, the long, cylindrical bulge that was substantial enough to clearly state its presence, even through the thick towel.
He smirked, dragging his hand through his wet hair. I salivated, watching droplets of water roll down his forearm and collect on the tip of his erotic elbow.
“You’re up,” he said.
I blinked, not knowing when I’d set my coffee down or how many minutes—hours? years?—had passed in the time I spent ogling his body.
He sauntered into the room like he wasn’t basically naked. I tried unsuccessfully not to stare at his knees, the place where his ropy thigh connected, the angular muscles of his calves, the curve of his ankle, the broad pad of his foot.
He was perfectly proportioned. Michelangelo would have carved him twenty feet tall, and women would have worshipped at his perfect feet.
Gus bounced when he saw Tommy, his toys forgotten. And when Gus took off running, Tommy stopped, eyes widening and hands splayed in front of him.
“Gus, no,” he commanded.
To no one’s surprise, Gus did not listen. He barked once, snagged the hem of Tommy’s towel, and whipped it off him in a single tug that exposed every inch of skin on Thomas Bane’s ridiculous body.
Thank God my coffee was already on the counter. I’d have gotten third-degree burns.
For a split second, Tommy was frozen there in all his natural glory, poised to run after his dog, his face drawn and eyes locked on the sweet, disobedient dog. He wasn’t paying any attention to me.
I, however, gave him my full and undivided consideration.
His thighs were a mass of muscle so hard and defined, the tops were planes that came to a notch at his knee and a point where it met his hip. My eyes caught that trough that had before disappeared and followed it where it pointed—straight to the thatch of dark hair and the member nestled there.
The very thick, very long, mostly limp member.
If I stared at it a second longer, I was going to faint—my vision was already dim, my pulse pumping so hard, I could feel it in my neck, at the back of which a cold sweat had broken.
But he shifted to run after Gus, who was galloping away, trailing the towel behind him.
“Dammit, Gus! Gimme that!”
Then it was the back of him I saw, his hair, the streaming water rolling down all the curves of his shoulders, his back, the valley of his spine, and down to the most perfect ass I’d ever seen in real life.
Well, the only ass I’d ever seen in real life that wasn’t my own, and even that I couldn’t get a good look at without a mirror.
Seriously, that ass. That perfectly sculpted ass, round and tight and curved in the sides, shifting from one side to the other as he ran after the damn dog. My gaze caught a tattoo on one ass cheek, and I squinted at it, trying to make it out.
Tommy bent to snag the end of the towel—I caught sight of his sack and almost dissolved through the floor in an acidic puddle of embarrassment—but when he pulled, Gus spun around, ass in the air and tail wagging as he growled, pulling back.
A string of obscenities left Tommy’s mouth, but I was still gaping and staring at his ass. I realized that I was laughing. It sounded like someone else in a different room.
I wondered absently if this was how it felt to have a stroke.
