I enjoyed this book, it was a solid romance. I liked the concept of the book but I wanted a little more out of Theo and Alba’s dynamic. I wanted to see more of that emotional connection build. I feel like they went from bickering to banging but didn’t leave a lot of room for the emotional bond between the two. That being said this book is hot! I did enjoy reading it and would recommend!

Wow I loved this and finished in 2 sittings. I love Adriana Herrera so much and I think this might be my favorite of hers as well as one of my favorite romances of the year! Theo and Alba were such unique and complex characters. I loved the premise that this starts as a workplace romance but the romance doesn't start until after they no longer work together. It kind of had some of the same vibes as the Wall of Winnipeg and Me by Marina Zapata!
This is book 2 in a series (Dating in Dallas) but can be read as a stand-alone! Admittedly, I have not read book 1 yet but didn't feel like I was missing any crucial info. I will be picking it up ASAP after inhaling this one!
Adriana has such a gift in how she writes her romances with do much depth paired with such good steam!
Thank you SO MUCH to the publisher for this advanced copy! Review on my insta to come! On The Hustle is out next Tuesday - 10/11.
