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 it’s axis a bit.

I kind of had a love/hate relationship with Tessa. We have a bit of an unrequited love story since she had a crush on Lucas since they were young. Although, I understood why she was upset with him for so long about something that happened between them, they were still also kids. However, there were other personal things going on in Tessa’s life, it was a painful memory that was attached to a hard time. That’s definitely tough to get past. And she carried that for several years and  it blinded her a bit of truly knowing how genuine of a guy Lucas can be.

There was some drama-rama that I was hoping wouldn’t manifest into something more, but it did and kind of wished that it just wasn’t there. And it played the epilogue a bit that I wasn’t exactly sure how to feel about it.

I didn’t love this one as much as her previous work (bahhhhhh, I don’t even like giving Staci’s book a low rating because I just love her to pieces), but I’m super pumped for this series because I love EVERYTHING Austen. Plus, STACI, she’s just awesome! And the glimpses we got of the Bennet’s, I just know we have so much to look forward to!
