professorromance

Best way to get rid of an evil ex? Snag a gorgeous heartbreaker, plan our wedding, and let the small-town gossip fly. What could possibly go wrong?

Just when I’m about to inherit my family’s winery, the one I’ve dreamed of bringing to life, my old-fashioned parents throw a wrench in my plans. Convinced I can’t succeed without a man’s business savvy, they make my ex my partner.

Now there’s only one way out… get married—to anyone but him.

When Dash Corbett rescues me with a pretend kiss in a cowboy bar, we devise a one-year plan that will help us both. Makeover Dash’s reputation and fulfill my parent’s antiquated expectations. Win-win.

Falling for my fake fiancé? Not a chance.

Dash might have a distractingly hot exterior, but he’s a reputed playboy–and I’m done with men who don’t walk the talk. But then I do something stupid. And dangerous. I get to know him.

Beneath the surface, he has vineyard dreams and a cinnamon roll heart. He’s the first man to see beyond my social butterfly exterior. And when he touches me, I melt into a puddle of wine, a vintage that forgot it was supposed to be sophisticated.

Soon our pretend relationship feels like forever. Especially with the possessive way he says “my wife,” making me believe our lie.

Falling for Dash could ruin more than my wine country dreams. But what if I love him truly?

Love You Truly is a standalone, small-town romance in the Buttercup Hill series, where the wine is chilled and the men are hot.

Meet Stacy

Stacy Travis writes spicy small-town romance about bookish, sassy women and the hot heroes who fall for them.

Writing makes her infinitely happy, but that might be the coffee talking. 

She’s worked as a journalist, camp counselor, TV writer, SAT tutor, corporate finance researcher, education technology editor, and non-fiction author. When she’s not on a deadline, she’s in running shoes complaining that all roads seem to go uphill. Or on the couch with a margarita. Or fangirling at a soccer game.

She’s never met a dog she didn’t want to hug. And if you have no plans for Thanksgiving, she’ll probably invite you to dinner.

Stacy lives in Los Angeles with her two sons and a poorly-trained rescue dog who hoards socks. And she’s serious about the Thanksgiving thing.

✍🏻 Professor Romance’s Review: Stacy Travis’s Love You Anyway ✍🏻

professorromance

Overall Grade: A-/B+

Stacy Travis’s Love You Anyway, the second book of her Buttercup Hill series, promises so much for this continued series of siblings. Stacy Travis has written about the undeniable chemistry between Colin, an astrophysicist hiding from scandal, and PJ, the youngest sister of the Corbett family. Some suspense is a running thread thus far in this series, although Travis treats us to a surprise in this second book. Colin and PJ’s “cat and mouse” foreplay drives the reader forward into the story. The age gap, the “will they/won’t they”, and the almost forbidden-esque nature of their coupling make for a story that keeps you engaged to the last page. 

I’m excited about the future stories in this series. I can’t wait to find out more about what’s lurking in Kingston Corbett’s mind. Stacy Travis’s Love You Anyway moves us decidedly and beautifully forward into this world of grapevines and casual living.

In love and romance,

Professor A

Love You Anyway by Stacy Travis is now live! 

A Swoony Small-Town, Brother’s Best Friend, Age Gap Romance

I thought hot nerdy billionaires only existed in books.

Then brilliant astrophysicist Colin Hathaway moved in next door.

After losing his cool on camera, tech’s most eligible bachelor is hiding out in Buttercup Hill, getting a two-week taste of small town life while driving me crazy with that gorgeous smile and those deep blue eyes.

But I need to keep my distance. Not only is he ten years older and my brother’s college best friend, but I’m busy fending off the vultures trying to take over our family winery–and my siblings are just waiting for their little sister’s next bad decision.

Unfortunately, Colin is everywhere I turn. Offering to build me bookshelves, eating grilled cheese sandwiches in my kitchen, flying me off in a luxury helicopter to look at Mars through some fancy telescope.

Who knew the solar system was so sexy?

He’s impossible to resist.

The heat between us is white hot, and no one has ever looked at me the way he does–like I’m smart. Beautiful. Worthy. Strong. When he defends me in front of my family, I realize I’m in deep.

But one slip in front of the media could derail both of our careers. And my heart bears the scars of mistakes I’ve made in the past.

Trusting him could ruin everything I’m working for.

But what if I love him anyway?

Welcome to Buttercup Hill, where the men are hotter than the Napa Valley sun, and the wine flows all day long. LOVE YOU ANYWAY is Book 2 in the series of standalone novels, each with a happily ever after.

✍🏻 Professor Romance’s Review: Stacy Travis’s Love You More, book 1 of her Buttercup Hill series ✍🏻

professorromance

Overall Grade: B+

Tropes: single dad; grump/sunshine; insta-attraction; small town romance; romantic suspense

Stacy Travis’s newest book, Love You More, the first book of her Buttercup Hill series, adds to the tradition of small-town romances found in stories by authors such as Devney Perry, Catherine Cowles, Elsie Silver, etc.  Travis has deftly crafted a regional small-town romance much like the authors noted above. Given that I live in California, I’m excited about this series because it sits at my geographical back door. Even more, she has set up a compelling series, starting with Jax and Ruby. Here’s what I loved about Love You More:

  1. There is nothing better than grump/sunshine. Ruby is the light to Jax’s dark, and Stacy Travis has drawn their chemistry well in this story.
  2. I’m also a fan of the single dad (or parent) trope because we know cute encounters with the heroine are a deciding factor for their future. Ruby and Jax’s daughter, Fiona, are adorable together, instantly hitting it off, given their shared experience of losing a parent. Fiona adds levity to Jax and Ruby’s fraught romantic journey.
  3. This is small-town romance at its best in a wine town such as Napa. Stacy Travis has carefully created this town, making us fall in love with it while also wanting more.
  4. The plot and character development are the most important parts of this story. I know readers will want more steam from these two, but, given that this is the first book of the series, Travis has taken the space to set up the region of her series while also doling out the beginnings of a mystery certain to thread through the other books of this series. She’s made some keen decisions with the development of this series in this first book.
  5. Small-town romance needs a combination of fun and angst, and I think Stacy Travis has balanced those two well in her first book.

My biggest criticism of Love You More is the inconsistency in her characterization of Stella. There are moments in her story when her want for Jax versus the pull of her responsibility for her sister is confusing. She would accept Jax in her life to quickly turn around and spurn him out of her need to care for her college-aged sister. It was story whiplash, and I thought it interrupted the flow of her plot. 

As the first book of a new series, Stacy Travis’s Love You More, was a delight. I’ve read Stacy from the beginning and her growth as a romance writer is paying dividends in Stella and Jax’s story. I can’t wait to find out Jax’s dad’s secrets. I imagine, though, that Stacy Travis will keep us guessing.

In love and romance,

Professor A

Love You More by Stacy Travis is now live! 

A Sizzling, Small-town, Grumpy/Sunshine, Single Dad Romance.

Jackson Corbett is a gorgeous single dad who doesn’t want complications at his family winery. And I’m the messy tornado who just offered to be his new nanny.

Jackson Corbett is not impressed when I show up for an interview in my pajamas at the wrong time. But I need this job working in the tasting room at Buttercup Hill Vineyards and I’ll do anything to get it. Years of sommelier courses and amateur wine-making have landed me here, at the best winery in Napa Valley, and I’m here to stay.

So I make him a deal. 

He’s overworked and stretched thin with parenting and a stressful job. I tell him that if I’m hired by the winery, I’ll work a second job as his nanny. 

I can endure the world’s grouchiest dad and entertain his feisty seven-year-old if it means career advancement, paying off my debts, while taking care of my younger sister.

I also know there’s no risk of romantic entanglement because Jackson is a grade-A grump—albeit a hot and chiseled one—who’s been burned by love. The weight of the world sits on his muscular shoulders, and he spends most of his time worrying about his daughter and looking at spreadsheets.

The last thing I’m concerned about is how he looks at me. 

Until he does.

I catch him sneaking glances, and I can’t help staring right back. And noticing how sweet he is with his daughter, how his chilly façade starts to melt, and how he lingers longer than necessary when I’m around.

I find myself wanting to help him even if it means spending more time away from my sister, right when she needs me the most. I’m terrified of letting down the only real family I have left.

Falling for him could ruin my carefully-wrought plans.

But what if I love him more?
