Some universal truths refuse to be ignored.
Peanut butter and jelly are a match made in heaven. Spaghetti and meatballs are best friends forever. And guys like Tyler Knight don’t go for girls like Cam Emerson.
She knew from the second she met him that he didn’t belong on her bookshelf, the six-foot-six ex-tight end with a face so all-American, it could have sold apple pie. So she shelved him next to the supermodels and rock stars and took her place on her own shelf — the one with the flannel-clad, pasty-faced comic book nerds. Most of her boyfriends have existed between the pages of books, but rather than worrying over her own lacking love life, she puts all her energy into playing Cupid, using her job at the book bar, Wasted Words, as her stomping ground.
Tyler Knight always looks on the bright side. His career-ending injury turned into a job as a sports agent. A horrible breakup led him to Cam, his quirky, smart roommate who is far more beautiful than she realizes. She’s made it perfectly clear she’s not interested in him — not like that at least — but if she ever changes her mind, he won’t hesitate. Because he doesn’t see the lines she’s drawn between them, as much as she insists that they’re there. Deep down he knows that despite their differences, they’re a match well made.
*A romantic comedy inspired by Jane Austen’s Emma*
"He belonged on his shelf and I belonged on mine —the separation between us may as well have been the Great Divide."
People say opposites attract but Cam Emerson doesn't see it that way. In her mind jocks date models, nerds date geeks and nothing will convince her otherwise, not even her attraction to her super hot, ex- football player roommate Tyler Knight.
This book introduces us to nice guy Tyler who only has eyes for his roommate Cam. The only problem is that Cam clearly has him in the friend zone due to her self imposed rules.
Cam is spunky, smart and a self proclaimed nerd girl and in her mind there's no way she and Tyler could ever be a match, no matter how attracted to each other they may be. She struggles to accept that she and Tyler should be together and at times her insecurities are a little over the top. I just wanted her to go all in and just be with him.
This book is quirky and sweet and very well written. It has a little something for everyone and I liked it a lot.
3.5*

Author Bio
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, even 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. 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. They are new enough that snow is still magical. When she's not writing, she's sleeping, cleaning, or designing graphics.
