Spaghetti and meatballs are best friends forever. And guys like Tyler Knight don\u2019t go for girls like Cam Emerson.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>She knew from the second she met him that he didn\u2019t 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 \u2014 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.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s made it perfectly clear she\u2019s not interested in him \u2014 not like that at least \u2014 but if she ever changes her mind, he won\u2019t hesitate. Because he doesn\u2019t see the lines she\u2019s drawn between them, as much as she insists that they\u2019re there. Deep down he knows that despite their differences, they\u2019re a match well made.<\/p>\n<p>*A romantic comedy inspired by Jane Austen\u2019s Emma*<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><b>Find\u00a0<em>Wasted Words\u00a0<\/em>on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/29589501-wasted-words\" target=\"_blank\">GOODREADS<\/a><i><\/i><\/b><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>Buy:\u00a0AMAZON\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1srtt8Z\" target=\"_blank\">US<\/a>\u00a0\/\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1TVwtmz\" target=\"_blank\">UK<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-PhYSsFgSFfI\/VznUZhuLVuI\/AAAAAAAAg9E\/r-ZapP4PcvQaYuphoMnkt1Xo42kbsY51ACLcB\/s400\/teaser9-safestplace.jpg?resize=266%2C400&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"266\" height=\"400\" border=\"0\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\"><strong>Check out our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/?p=7786\" target=\"_blank\">REVIEW<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">\n<hr \/>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Author Bio<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"7802\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/?attachment_id=7802\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/StaciHart.jpg?fit=640%2C640&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"640,640\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"StaciHart\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/StaciHart.jpg?fit=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-7802 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/StaciHart.jpg?resize=150%2C150&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"StaciHart\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/StaciHart.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/StaciHart.jpg?resize=100%2C100&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/StaciHart.jpg?resize=600%2C600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/StaciHart.jpg?w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><span lang=\"EN-US\">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&#8217;t forget that. She&#8217;s also been a mom, with three little girls who are sure to grow up to break a number of hearts. She&#8217;s been a wife, even though she&#8217;s certainly not the cleanest, or the best cook. She&#8217;s also super, duper fun at a party, especially if she&#8217;s been drinking whiskey. Her favorite word starts with f and ends with k.\u00a0<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">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&#8217;s not writing, she&#8217;s sleeping, cleaning, or designing graphics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/stacihartnovels\" target=\"_blank\">FACEBOOK<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/imaquirkybird\" target=\"_blank\">TWITTER<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/imaquirkybird\/\" target=\"_blank\">PINTEREST<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/quirkybird\/\" target=\"_blank\">INSTAGRAM<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<hr \/>\n<p><a style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-1eCQ4TAqtGQ\/V0Rb0SkLVUI\/AAAAAAAAhOg\/wBA_NLHBV0MckfCLmZdhhWjfRjjkSu8UACLcB\/s1600\/teaser7-savedme.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-1eCQ4TAqtGQ\/V0Rb0SkLVUI\/AAAAAAAAhOg\/wBA_NLHBV0MckfCLmZdhhWjfRjjkSu8UACLcB\/s400\/teaser7-savedme.jpg?resize=266%2C400&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"266\" height=\"400\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In case you missed it, Wasted Words is now live!
