Having scenes with holidays, food, and celebrations and how some things are universal and some things are really unique and special to Julia's family and heritage really gave great reference points and context for new learning (for me). I not only enjoyed the humor, love, and exasperation that Julia had with her family, I also really enjoyed learning more about a culture that I feel like I really didn't know as much as I feel like I should. So obviously, I'm now a huge fan (as you can see from my abundant use of "love" in the previous paragraph) and I'm here for these characters (and truly hope some of the secondary characters have a novel of their own). Also, before I go much further I should say that the slow burn between these two was *chef's kiss* sooo good and when they finally banged: OMG. (As a Louisiana resident, I found their observations entertaining and spot on). I loved the wacky sisters and the observations of NYC exiles trying to make new lives in Texas. I loved Julia's family and how well that worked with Rocco's story. I loved the passion that both of them felt for all things NYC. In Here to Stay, Julia and Rocco gave me all the feels.
There is some definitely some sweet moments, so don’t let the heat factor scare you- that’s just an added bonus.I came for the romance and I stayed for.so many things, y'all.įirst let me say that I am new to Adriana Herrera and thanks to Kennedy Ryan's Instagram live author interview series, I knew I had to read a Adriana Herrera novel. The Pool Boy is a trope I don’t read often – older woman, younger man, but DANG! Maybe it’s because I am getting older, or maybe because I just needed an escape, but this book brough the feels! The heroine was so easy to connect with, and the younger guy was mature enough to keep me wanting more! From the first page to the last page, I was hooked and I was sort of sad when it was all over. Nikki’s words are sizzling and they definitely bring the heat! I was not expecting so much action but still so much depth to a story- a great summer read! If you are looking for a HOT summer read, then look no further. But I’m not so sure she meant for me to do it with her son.
My best friend keeps telling me to have a fling and get back out there. Do I leave the swimsuit in my house? Sure.ĭoes my very hot, twenty-something pool boy happen to catch me naked? Oh, yeah, he does. Taking the day off from work to hang out poolside? Yup. I’m starting over, but this time I’m doing it right.
