About The Book:
Bestselling author Staci Hart brings you another installment of the Austen Series, inspired by the works of Jane Austen, with a heartfelt contemporary retelling of Sense and Sensibility.
When Annie Daschle arrives in New York City, the only thing she can control is her list.
Not her father’s death or the loss of her home. Not the hole in her heart or the defective valve that’s dictated so much of her life. But she can put pen to paper to make a list of all the ways she can live out loud, just like her dad would have wanted.
See the city from the top of the Empire State Building: Check.
Eat hot dogs on the steps of The Met: Check.
Get a job at Wasted Words: Check.
What wasn’t on her list: Greg Brandon. And just when she thinks she’s figured out where to put him, everything changes. In the span of a few staggering heartbeats, she finds herself her caught in the middle of something she can’t find her way out of, with no clear answers and no rules.
List or no list, she realizes she can’t control anything at all, not even her heart.
Not the decisions it makes, and not the moment it stops.

My Review:
Living Out Loud by Staci HartMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Living Out Loud by Staci Hart is the third book in her standalone Austen series. This is the modern day re-telling of Sense & Sensibility from Marianne Daschwood AKA Annie Daschle's perspective. I always pounce on these Austen re-tellings and then find myself to busy comparing them to enjoy them as much as I perhaps might if I just read the story. This was NOT an issue with Annie and Greg's story. I was absorbed from early on and while she is still flighty and young and indecisive, the modern world that Staci Hart built for these classic characters was perfectly donw. There was Annie's view on the move to New York, her excitement at her new job and the pull between her and the older Greg Brandon. There was the rescue by the dashing Will Bailey. The unraveling of her true feelings. Dramatic, endearing, lovely and romantic. Enjoy!
About the Author:
Staci has been a lot of things up to this point in her life -- a graphic designer, an entrepreneur, a seamstress, a clothing and handbag designer, a waitress. Can't forget that. She's also been a mom, with three little girls who are sure to grow up to break a number of hearts. She's been a wife, though she's certainly not the cleanest, or the best cook. She's also super, duper fun at a party, especially if she's been drinking whiskey.
From roots in Houston to a seven year stint in Southern California, Staci and her family ended up settling somewhere in between and equally north, in Denver. They are new enough that snow is still magical. When she's not writing, she's reading, sleeping, gaming, or designing graphics.
