Coming Up Roses by Staci Hart
5.0
”Be wild. Because life is lived in the moments you don’t see coming”
I really don’t know where to begin and where to end. This book totally took my by surprise and gave me everything I didn’t know I’d need. I’m still in awe with what Staci Hart created here. The thoughtful writing, the soft creation of these deep characters and their development. Everything about this book is harmonic and everything feels perfect to me: The pace, the slow-burn, the natural interaction of all characters, the emotions, the story-flow, the well dosed drama that lead to the angsty part of the story and on and on I could go with this.
”She was as familiar to me as she was a discovery, the girl I’d known, the woman I’d come to need.”
I could picture each character so clearly, it was like watching a movie. I got caught by the realness of it all. The feels and most importantly the message this book carries. Maybe it was because I found myself so clearly in Tess and the way she lived her life, the cautious way she made sure not to get hurt and therefore didn’t take any risks.
Tess is real, beautiful, thoughtful, cautious, caring, loving. She gives with all her heart and is afraid to live her life a little more adventurous. But who can blame her? Aren’t we all afraid to get hurt or afraid of consequences? I love the way the opens up naturally after Luke is back in her life. It’s like two puzzle pieces fall back in place together.
Lucas is the perfect example that you shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover. You only see the top of the iceberg and you underestimate its depth. Can someone bake me a man like Lucas? I’d really like to meet him and fall in love with him.
Not to mention on how Tess and Luke compliment each other. They balance each other perfectly. Where Tess needs to get more wild, Luke shows her how to live a litte. And where Luke needs more stability learning to be dependable, Tess gives him exactly what he needs. Everything comes to them naturally and they just live with the flow without realizing it.
”Love happens in moments.”
All I can say is that Staci Hart has outdone herself with this book. I loved her books before but non of them spoke to me like this one here did.
Please go and meet these wonderful characters and get surprised on how quickly they grow on you, touch every fibre of your heart.
”In this man was a heart too big to contain, with patience and love beyond the bounds of comprehension. And he was mine.”
