And he’s running against me for mayor.
It’s unfair, him standing there, too tall and handsome for his own good. It’s audacious that his clothes accentuate every lean, strong curve of his body. It’s universal BS that his smile makes my heart flipflop, and it’s patently un-freaking-believable that my body would betray me when he turns that gorgeous smile on me.
I’ll do whatever it takes to win, and he knows it.
But when he kisses me, all bets are off.
If I win, he leaves.
If he wins, I lose.
And either way, he breaks my heart.

Favorite Quotes:
I thought of about twenty things I should have said. At least five of them were such intense burns, he would’ve needed skin grafts to recover.
Uber Stan… He didn’t actually work for Uber, just passed out a card with his phone number and told us all to text him if we needed a ride. Even made a fake Uber sign for his back window. Nobody told him that wasn’t quite how it worked, too proud of the sweet old man for managing to figure out texts and Venmo to break his heart.
Evangeline sighed and rolled her eyes. “God, sometimes I’m so thankful I’m not attracted to men. Y’all are dumber than a bag of hair.”
It’s so strange, being with him. It’s like a time machine back to when things were simpler and a glimpse into a future I can’t have. And I’m caught there in that place of wishes and lost dreams. I can’t make myself walk away.
My Review:
I think each new book I read by this author is her best and my favorite until I read the next one. Run For Your Honey is definitely my favorite, for now. The dichotomy of the characters’ conflict was perfectly pitched and so real it felt tangible. The amusing storylines were laced with broad humor, breath-stealing steam, and keen snark. I am not exaggerating when I say I adored every well-chosen word. I smirked and giggle-snorted my way through this well-nuanced and evocative read and finished with a sigh. Staci Hart has crazy good skills and I greedily covet and plan to amass, all her clever and entertaining arrangements of words.
About the Author
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, 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. When she’s not writing, she’s reading, sleeping, gaming, or designing graphics.
