Side Hustle by Emily Goodwin: Review

I am pretty sure that this is the first book I’ve read or reviewed by Emily Goodwin and I have to say that it was a great book to start with. She totally sucked me in with her writing style and ability to tell a great story.

Here are my thoughts on this new release, officially out today.

ABOUT:
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.

Side Hustle by Emily Goodwin

If you have a heart at all, you will completely fall for the characters in this book. Starting with Scarlet. She is the epitome of a down on your luck, hard life character who has a questionable past but truly wants to do the right thing.

Goodwin did a fabulous job with this character. Even though the intentions at the beginning were not right, the fact that she is so enamored with a regular life really struck a chord with me.

Then bring in Weston. Totally devoted to his son and the owner of a gorgeous body, sweet disposition, and a family who truly means well but is so very accepting too.

From the very beginning these two knew there was something hot and simmering and when it became something more, all bets are off. They were the perfect couple – even with her history, the HEA wins.

Goodwin is not afraid to write about flawed characters. After all, there’s no such thing as perfect person, but there are people out there who are right just for you, who will love and support you no matter what, and this is the perfect story that showcases that belief.

Sweet and hot in so many ways, Side Hustle is a story that you will find yourself smiling and sniffling along to as you envelop yourself into the story!

Oh, and sign me up for Weston, please. Total yum!
