On the Hustle (Dating in Dallas, 2)

"Adriana Herrera writes all my favorite things, and I'll never get enough of her books!" --Ali Hazelwood, New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis

Alba Duarte is the queen of the side hustle.

As the eldest daughter in her crisis-prone family, she's always stepped up to help. Her favorite gig is doing Instagram-worthy, bookish-themed bedroom makeovers for friends. Her most hated? Working as the assistant to the most gorgeous--and most infuriating--man on earth.

Theo Ganas is a former Olympic swimmer and heir to a bona fide real estate empire. He's also about as warm and fuzzy as a New York City winter, and quite frankly, Alba has had enough of his ridiculous demands and cold shoulder. When opportunity knocks, she decides to put herself first for once...which means leaving her demanding boss--and relatives--behind.

Her new life in Dallas seems like everything Alba's ever wanted, until a bafflingly charming and attentive Theo turns up in the Lone Star State with an offer she simply cannot refuse. Agreeing to do a home improvement reality TV show with her sexy, and suddenly flirtatious, former boss is not a good idea, but it just might be the makeover her heart has been waiting for.

Fav of the year.
This book has everything that I like and didn't know I liked in a romance book.
Alba the FMC is mustering up all the courage she has to pursue her passion and make it a successful business. That is so rare to see especially in the Latinx community. We are known to keep our head down and work work work. Alba is also a provider for her immigrant family. She assists and supports her mother, helps her sister out with college payments, and so much more. This really signifies an experience BIPOC people live in. Being needed in that way, where so many count on you to do well. So Alba's drive is unrelenting in this book. I know many people will identify with that.
That is where Theo steps in, meglomaniac CEO of a real estate company. Alba used to be his assistant and the book starts off the day she quits. We soon find out Theo has liked her from a (professional) afar for the past three years she has worked for him.
Alba leaves NY to pursue some jobs in Texas and Theo finds her. They also get wrapped up in a reality home makeover show, where they HAVE to spend time together, and even room in the same home.
Alba starts to see a different side to Theo, and walls come down, then they come back up, and come down again. Its such a sacred thing us women do, to guard our hearts, being so vulnerable to open up to someone is so scary, I identified with Alba so much for that and so many more reasons.
I truly appreciated Theo's journey as well, he has to break free from the strict mold his father has always set for him. He also gets to show Alba how long he has wanted her, and that was soooooooooooooooooo good!
This book is amazing. I recommend to all!
