REVIEW ➞ Friends with Benedicts by Staci Hart

BLURB ➞

Timing is everything.

Presley Hale and Sebastian Vargas are no strangers to goodbye. Their high school summers were spent wrapped up in each other until she would inevitably go home to California. One season after college, Sebastian finally escaped the little Texas town to travel the world, and they said goodbye for what they thought might be the last time.
Sebastian went one way. Presley went the other.

For the first time in five years, they’re both in town, but the timing is no better than ever. So the only thing to do is what they do best. Keep it casual.

Friends with benefits.

They’ve done it before—doing it again will be easy.

But their hearts don’t get the memo.

When the lines of their arrangement blur, Presley and Sebastian are faced with decisions they’ve avoided for years. And that’s not even their biggest problem.
A small town in danger of failing.

A secret that could tear them apart.

And two hearts that can’t hide anymore.

They’ve shared so many summers, but none compare to what they’ll face.

Timing is everything.
And their time is almost up. 


In moments like this, everything was simple. Every choice was easy. I was meant for him, and he was meant for me. Simple as that.


ARC REVIEW ➞

I absolutely adored this story! It is one that just leaves you feeling good and smiling the whole way through. From the laughs, the romance and the little bit of drama you can’t help but fall in love with the characters and the story.

Presley isn’t a stranger to the small town of Lindenbach, Texas. She spent time there growing up and her cousins live there. It is also where she met Sebastian and fell in love with him. However, the two of the them knew that their time together always had an expiration date. Sebastian always wanted to escape the small town and grew up in and do something that can help people, which is why he joined the Peace Corps.

It has been five years since Presley and Sebastian last saw each other and it was like time hadn’t passed. Their connection was still strong and their chemistry was still steaming. However, there is a secret that Presley needs to tell him and it is something that could completely change everything between them.

I enjoyed the little side story of a small town and a majority of its resident’s rally together and fight against the big corporations coming in and trying to take over. The heart of this small town is absolutely amazing.

I am ready to back my bags and head to this small town!
