Here to Stay
by Adriana Herrera
She moved across country with her boyfriend, but Julia del Mar Ortiz is on her own after he picked up stakes. In Dallas, with a good job, she is determined to make things work. Julia misses her big, loving family, but she is not ready to throw in the cards and to head back to New York City.
The last thing Julia expected was to meet Rocco Quinn. He is a gorgeous consultant who might just end up being her arch enemy. Julia has a job at a fashion department store, and she is responsible for running charitable foundations that the store sponsors. However, what Julia does not quite realize is that Rocco's purpose there is to sort out the foundations and to actually remove them from the bottom line. End result? Julia's job and remaining purpose for staying in Dallas.
There is a deeper problem, however, and that is the sparks that fly between Julia and Rocco. However, with her past, the last thing she is thinking about is being in another relationship. Putting that aside, Julia is determined to put her best foot forward so that she can prove to Rocco that the programs she is involved with are critical.
There is no way to write this review and to not mention the stark differences between Julia and Rocco's families. Rocco's father was horrid, simply said. But Rocco's devotion to his sister and niece was very touching. With regard to Julia, her Dominican family was loud, brash and fun! I really loved them.
I also want to say that with current events, it is interesting that the various books I am reading lately include different cultures. It is great that this book made it to publication, because seeing a happy Dominican family in this book gives me a broader view in this difficult times. Adriana Herrera is a new name for me, and I love the way she wrote this book and this makes me eager to read more by her.
Many thanks to Carina Press and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
