“Oh, I’m sorry. Did you say you were happy? LOLOLOLOL!” ~ Life
Ember Hastings never thought she’d be dragged away from White Timber and everything she loved, thrust in the middle of a big city she hated, or have her husband of nine years say, “I can’t do this anymore,” all within the span of three months, yet here she is.
She misses her family, she misses the farm, and she misses having a backbone and caring whether or not the stain on her shirt is chocolate or shit. She works from home doing transcription. Does she really need to shower or leave the house?
Baker Matthews has been bringing everyone down lately with his grouchy attitude. His job is stressful, and sometimes depressing, but he wouldn’t change anything about it. When a glitch with the transcription company he’s using mistakenly sends him notes he wasn’t supposed to see, Baker finds himself laughing out loud for the first time in months.
He’s never met a woman who says whatever she’s thinking and doesn’t fawn all over him when she finds out what he does for a living. Until Ember Hastings comes barreling into his life, calling him Shit Mouth and asking if he has any balls.
But she wants to keep this professional. She made him pinky swear, and you don’t mess around with pinky swears. Baker will have to get creative if he wants to prove to Ember that he’s just her type.
Check out The Simple Life – Just My Type is a spin off!
Title: The Simple Life
Author: Tara Sivec
Genre: Contemporary Romance, Romantic Comedy
*A standalone romantic comedy with a lot of heart*
Brooklyn Manning thought her life was perfect in every way, until it crumbled down around her and turned into a dumpster fire. With her pride wounded and her tail tucked between her legs, she leaves New York and goes back to her tiny hometown of White Timber, Montana.
No more twenty-four-hour taco trucks, no more shopping at the best designer stores within walking distance, no more giving taxi drivers the finger when they angrily honk at her. She didn’t think it could get any worse. But then Clint Hastings walked into the room and insulted her.
Her arch nemesis from high school is no longer a nerdy computer whiz, masturbating to pictures in PC World magazine in his free time (allegedly). He’s grown up to be a hot-as-hell cowboy, and she has no other choice but to be a smart ass right back to him. After all, it’s what they do. It’s what they’ve always done, and twelve years apart hasn’t changed anything.
Only this time, getting under each other’s skin is a hell of a lot more fun than it used to be.
Are you sure you’re ready for Baker’s romance? 😉

Subject: OMG, WHERE ARE YOU?!
Christ, woman! I’ve been shouting your name for the past fifteen minutes, and I called your phone twenty times. I’m assuming you have your noise-cancelling headphones on and you’re still working, not just ignoring the love of your life, who has been calling for you—in a totally dignified, manly way, FYI.
Fuck, I hope to God you’re checking your email. Honestly, Ember, what if the loft was on fire? What if a serial killer broke in and was holding me hostage in the bedroom? DO YOU EVEN CARE THAT I COULD HAVE A KNIFE TO MY THROAT RIGHT NOW????? And on our first Valentine’s Day. I expected more from you.

Wow, what an emergency. It took you two whole paragraphs to not explain why you’ve been screaming my name like a toddler for the past fifteen minutes and blowing up my phone. Yes, I have my noise-cancelling headphones on, because I am indeed working, and a distraction such as you being stabbed to death would really mess with my flow. I have an hour left to finish this transcription job before we can celebrate. I love you, but if you want to get laid on our first Valentine’s Day together, go away for sixty minutes.

I BOUGHT A GIRLFRIEND FOR RON JEREMY NAMED KAREN-LINDA-SUSAN AND I THOUGHT I’D SURPRISE YOU FOR VALENTINE’S DAY. LONG STORY SHORT, I’M NAKED IN OUR BED AND KAREN-LINDA-SUSAN HAS CRAWLED BETWEEN MY LEGS AND WON’T STOP HISSING. OMG, HELP ME!

Why in the actual fuck would you think buying me another hedgehog would be a good idea, when Ron Jeremy and I still aren’t on speaking terms? Karen-Linda-Susan? You named a hedgehog Karen-Linda-Susan? She’s going to ask to speak to the manager after she chews your dick off.
I’m going to need to pretend like you never, ever told me you got in bed naked with a hedgehog if I’m going to look you in the eyes again. I don’t care if there are flower petals involved or a strategically placed box of chocolates and you were going to immediately whisk Karen-Linda-Susan away after you surprised (i.e. HORRIFIED) me before we got down to business. You. Got. Naked. With. A. Hedgehog.
I can never unsee this in my brain, Baker.

I will have you know it is a strategically placed bag of your favorite miniature Reese’s Cups. But not just any bag of miniature Reese’s Cups. I’m romantic, yo, and got the Reese’s Peanut Butter Hearts. Bitches love Reese’s Peanut Butter Hearts on Valentine’s Day.
Listen, man, the Karen-Linda-Susans of the world deserve a break and shouldn’t be blamed for everything. I was trying to bring love and light into the darkness of all the unfortunately named Karen-Linda-Susans, but I have made a grave mistake. She won’t stop hissing. Her eyes have now rolled into the back of her head, which will probably start spinning soon. I believe I may have just opened the Hellmouth. Email Buffy the Vampire Slayer and inquire about what our next steps should be.
Or, you know, GET THE FUCK IN HERE AND HELP ME!

Sorry, all I got out of that last email was that you used something miniature to cover your junk.

Next Valentine’s Day, I pinky swear I will stay far, far away from the pet store. Unless they have hedgehog clothing on sale. OMG, maybe Karen-Linda-Susan just needs something new to wear to make her feel pretty! Why didn’t I think if that before?!
Also, maybe you should just unsee that last part while you’re at it.
