Wild Card (Roseville Ramblers #1)
Staci Hart
April 5, 2024
The hot baseball player I’m forced to stay with for my best friend’s wedding is off limits.
Remy Winfield has more muscles than manners, and he’s on a mission to get me into bed by way of the filthiest mouth I’ve ever wanted to kiss. He doesn’t care about my long time crush or my certainty that we’re finally about to happen.
Remy’s sure I’ll break first and kiss him, and he’ll tease me to the limit to make sure I do. I might be a Lady, but I can still play his dirty little game. It’s perfectly safe, totally harmless.
Until I fall for him.
Suddenly, Mr. Long-Time Crush doesn’t matter at all.
And my best friend can never know.
Boy, does Staci Hart know how to make a come back. It’s been a good while since we’ve had a Staci Hart release and when I saw her post that she’d been writing, add in that it was a baseball, best friend can’t know, kind of story I knew I had to have it and that I would do anything to get my hands on this baby. And when I tell y’all that Staci did not disappoint, she absolutely did not.
Diving into this book brought me so much joy, not just because Staci was finally back, but also because I grew up watching baseball with my family and to read about Jessa going to her first game was everything. Honestly, and I know I say this a lot, but this book was everything.
When we first meet Jessa and Remy, there is a bright red Do Not Cross line, mostly drawn by Jessa herself. Over time, that line starts to blur. The steam between these two characters was exactly the right amount to have. Jessa comes to Tennessee for her best friends wedding and one of the aunts in charge of sleeping arrangements for the duration of their visit accidentally put Jessa with Remy, which would be…okay…if she wasn’t set on finally getting her life long best friend to realize they’re meant to be together. Let’s not forget that Remy lives in a run down cottage and as a single man its easy to figure out he doesn’t keep his house clean. But, as always the lines blur and soon enough Jessa doesn’t know what she wants because that fake relationship they enter? Yeah, those lines blur too.
I don’t know about y’all, but I live for these kind of stories. I know we all have our own preferences, but as someone who has recently dove into the fantasy world, I can say for certain that I will always love these mostly easy going love stories. Not every book needs to have tears, death or so much drama our heads and hearts explode. Over the years, as I’ve gone down Staci’s list of books, she has dragged every emotion out of me, that I’m sure of. But this new Staci? Yeah, she might be my favorite and I can’t wait to see what comes of the rest of the series.
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 to 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, nor is she the best cook. She’s also super, duper fun at a party–especially if she’s been drinking whiskey–and 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, where snow is magic and the mountains have become home. When she’s not writing, she’s reading, gaming, or designing graphics.
