BLOG TOUR - Well Suited by Staci Hart #WellSuited





  

Chemistry is my love language.

I’ve always been able to separate feelings from chemosignals. A shot of dopamine, a dash of serotonin, and a sprinkle of oxytocin—and bam. You’re in love.

And when egg meets sperm, you’re pregnant.

I couldn’t even be surprised as I stared down at the little blue plus sign, because I knew exactly when and how, and with whom it happened.

When: approximately five weeks ago.
Who: one night stand.
How: prophylactic malfunction.

The upside? I don’t have to go looking for a suitable mate.

Genetically, he’s the cream of the crop. His musculature is a study in symmetry and strength, his height imposing and dominant. He is a man who thrives on control and command, a man who survives on intelligence and resourcefulness. A perfect male specimen.

And the whole package is wrapped up in a flawlessly tailored suit.

I’m having this baby, and he insists we’re well-suited to have it together. And what’s worse? He wants more, in the way of love and marriage.

But love isn’t real. It’s just a product of chemistry.

And if he changes my mind about that, we’re both in trouble.


This is the fourth book in the Red Lipstick Coalition series by Staci Hart. I liked the first one, I loved
the second one and I absolutely and completely loved the third one. "Well suited" couldn't captivate me as much as the other books in this series even though I also enjoyed reading it.

Katherine, our heroine, is not a simple character and not easy to love and to deal with. She is rather stiff and formal and Theo has his work cut out for him when he tries to coax her out of her shell. Most of the action in the book, at least it seemed that way, is rather internal, it's more about Katherine's development than about actual things happening although those happen as well. Katherine has to learn to let loose and give up some of her rigid control and Theo, well, he has to learn a lot about patience and understanding.
I really loved the way he cared for her, made things possible for her to accept and was there for her no matter what happened. Or who happened, actually... It was amazing to see how much he cared for her, understood her and went out of his way to make her feel alright.

Those two are really cute together and the way the story was told, fitted Katherine and her character. Tough, when things got rough, some of what happened felt forced and didn't make sense, at least in my eyes. Suddenly it was as if Theo didn't understand her anymore and -It. Just. Didn't. Make. Sense. And it made me furious and upset. Oh, and I wasn't the only one who felt that way.

The Red Lipstick Coalition is at work once again, finding love and happiness for one of their own and I loved to see how much they care for each other and help each other. Katherine and Theo are the last of the couples to find love and, I think, by far the most complicated of the four but no matter what happens, their friends are there, helping and supporting Katherine and Theo.
I didn't love the book as much as I loved Player and Work in Progress but it's still four well-earned
stars.
