Here to Stay
by Adriana Herrera
Don't let that adorable cover fool you, this book is HOT! This is the first book I've read by Adriana Herrera, but it will not be the last.
This book was a workplace romance full of family, friends, and lots of steam! I'm fairly certain it was pitched as hate to love, but I definitely didn't get that at all. Rocco made her nervous because of his job, but I never got hate. I really loved so many aspects of this book, such as the diversity, the friendships (The Gotom Exiles were great), and family (obsessed with Julia's grandma). I enjoyed Julia as a main character. I think she was determined to make her own way, full of sass, but was also a sweetheart. I liked Rocco enough. I loved how much he loved his sister and niece, and wanted to do whatever to take care of them. This book is full of steam and dirty talk, I loved the tension and build up between Julia and Rocco. I feel like they formed a great friendship and once they actually communicated they were great together. I real liked the ending/epilogue. What I didn't love about this book was all the noncommunication. I know it's a thing especially in romance novels, but it's not for me. Like I feel like so much of their issues would be non issues if they just said what they were thinking (like the conflict). I read this ebook and listened to the audiobook, and I really enjoyed the narrator's on the audiobook. I'm assuming the rest of the Exiles will get a book, and I will do read them.
