Coming Up Roses by Staci Hart

Coming Up Roses (The Bennet Brothers, #1)

by Staci Hart

Bestselling author Staci Hart is back with a brand new romantic comedy and clever spin on Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. Meet the Bennet brothers, get to know Longbourne, and fall in love in this steamy enemies to lovers romcom.

Everyone hates parts of their job.

Maybe it’s the paperwork. Maybe it’s the day-to-day grind. Maybe it’s that client who never knows what they want, or the guy who always cooks fish in the microwave.

But not me. I love every corner of the Longbourne Flower Shop, every flower, every petal, every stem. I love the greenhouse, and I love Mrs. Bennet, my boss. I love creating, and I love being a florist. I don’t hate anything at all.

Except for Luke Bennet.

The Bennet brothers have come home to help their mom save the flower shop, and Luke is at the helm. His smile tells a tale of lust, loose and easy. He moves with the grace of a predator, feral and wild. A thing unbridled, without rules or constraint. When he comes home to save Longbourne, I almost can’t be mad at him. Almost.

He doesn’t remember that night I’ll never forget. That kiss, touched with whiskey and fire. It branded me like a red-hot iron. But it meant nothing to him.

Everyone hates part of their job, and I hate Luke Bennet.

Because if I don’t, I’ll fall in love with him.

Review


Overall I thought Coming Up Roses was a cute and sweet story. There were several things throughout the story that I truly loved and some that just wasn't for me. When it comes to supporting characters, Staci definitely writes some of the best ones. And I'm constantly looking out for whose book is next, but don't you worry. It's the Bennet Brother's series and we've just begun!
I've been a huge fan of Staci's writing for years, she has definitely written a few of my favorites. Some of them coming from her Austen series and now we have the Bennet's! When we're first introduced to Lucas, we quickly get the the kind of character he is. Despite his playboyish ways, I absolutely loved his loyalty and utmost compassion when it comes to his family. And that he never wants to disappoint his mother even if she's trying to marry all of them off. And there's no one like Tessa to throw his world off-kilter.
