Hate is a strong word.
Depending on the company, loathe is a good substitute. Abhor might be a little fancy, but it gets the job done. But the word that really sums up how I feel about Liam Darcy is, without question, hate.
He doesn’t seem to think much of me either. The second he lays his fault-seeking eyes on me, he sets out to oppose me. Everything about him is imposing, as if he consumes the nearby air to power the rise and fall of his broad chest, and it’s clear he resents my presence on his advertising team. Every idea I have is shot down. Every olive branch I offer is set on fire by nothing more than the blistering coals he calls eyes.
In return, I light him up with my words.
It’s not as if he can dismiss me, since I work for his client, Wasted Words. Instead, he’s forced to tolerate me, which seems the closest we’ll ever be to friends. Fine by me.
I can be civil and still hate Liam Darcy.
But if there’s more to him than his exterior shows, I won’t be able to hate him at all. I might stumble over that line between love and hate and fall right into his arms.
Pride and Papercuts by Staci HartMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Absolute perfection. I was swept away into this story and couldn’t put it down as each chapter lead seamlessly and had me needing to know what would happen next. The beauty of Laney is her fierce determination and stubbornness. Having grown-up with 4 brothers, she learned to speak her mind and not be intimated by male posturing. Liam Darcy wears a perpetual scowl which intimidates anyone that crosses his path until he meets Laney. These two trade barbs in their quest for perfection while both fighting an unexpected attraction. The pressure for each one to live up to family obligations and pressures is a driving force behind many choices each makes but for Darcy, is an overwhelming burden. As these two challenge each other, their siblings struggle to find their own path but will they be carnage caught in all the drama? Truly a wonderful adaptation that delivers and showcases all the fabulous nuances of pride and prejudice. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
