BOOK REVIEW -> Side Hustle by Emily Goodwin


 

Coming: D E C E M B E R 6th

I SHOULD HATE HIM, BUT I CAN'T. BECAUSE, WITHOUT A DOUBT, WESTON IS MAKING ME FEEL." -SCARLET


When Scarlet Cooper takes a new job as a nanny, she assumes she’s going to work for the rich couple who hired her. But instead of pulling up to their million-dollar estate, she finds herself on the front porch of a humble farmhouse, looking into the eyes of dark and brooding single dad, Weston Dawson.

It’s bad enough that Weston doesn’t have a fortune to charm out of him, but he’s also a cop. After marrying his high school sweetheart only to have her up and leave weeks after their baby was born, Weston has sworn off women for life. All that matters now is taking care of his son, Jackson.

If anyone can break down the tough exterior of the former soldier, it’s Scarlet. But just when she’s close to getting exactly what she wants, she’s faced with a whole new challenge, which just might be the biggest con she’s ever pulled: pretending she doesn’t love him.

 
"Overly full of himself, he thinks wearing that fitted suit makes him the living embodiment of Christian Grey. Sorry. buddy. I'm not going Fifty Shades on your cock today." -Scarlet
 

"So you can see the stars." Wes is standing by the telescope, a smile on his face. He takes a cover off the lends and wipes away dust. "It was mine when I was a kid. It's been at my parents' and I grabbed it on my way home. I have no idea if it still works, but it's not like these tings go bad, right?"

 

Review

This is a new (to me) book & author. I have not had the chance to read Book 1 & 2 before Book 3 hehe but trust me when I tell you that, you're still in the loop so to say even in Book 3.


What attracted me to this story was the description, somehow it called to me. It's hard to read new books from new authors you don't know so, when I have a 'feeling' i usually trust my gut and it seems to be right every time so far. Glad i trusted it this time too.


This story scared me a little bit because I have read Nanny & Single Dad Romance, and 7/8 times, I did not enjoy the story. I gave this book a chance because it wasn't like the rest, the beginning of the book had me crying. I could relate to a bit personally and I got hooked even more.


Scarlet is a bright woman who is on the other side of the green grass. The non-green so to say. When she signs up for a job (where she not lied but made herself look more appealing in the resume) therefore, got the job. The con artist got coned on that one! She ends up with a Cop Single Father of the most cutest and sweetest little boy.


Weston is a broody, sexy, smart and broken man. Wouldn't we all love to have one? Well Scarlet not only does her actual job, but starts to fall in love with this broody man. Shame hit's her hard when she realizes a man like him coming from a good clean family, could never love someone like her.


Day by Day Scarlet falls more in love with not only Weston but mostly his boy. After she finally confessed the part about her father and sister, Weston doesn't see her any different. What comes next has to be one of the most steamiest and sexiest SEX SCENE i have yet to read. Phew! I was sweating a bit on my end, kept reading and looking around my house to make sure none of my family seems my stupid smirk and smile haha. BRAVO on that one!!


The book made me FEEL, the characters were very relatable to, I did NOT love Daisy at all! YUK woman! I already had a 3-4 star set in my mind when I started reading, again, because I have been put off on the Nanny romance so much. I will be happy to say that this book gets FIVE STAR through and through! The ending killed me because honestly, I NEED MORE, I NEED TO KNOW MORE! I recommend this book, wish i had the chance to read Book 1 & 2 first.

Happy Reading!
