Here to Stay by Adriana Herrera

3.0

Thank you Harlequin and Carina Press for the copy.

Y'all this book.....if you are looking for a steamy romance with lots of dirty talk, this one is for you.

My likes:
* I love the crazy chemistry between Rocco and Julia. I felt the pull immediately.
* I love the diversity in this book. It is a melting pot of different cultures. It is LGBTQ+ friendly. It really has it all.
* I love being submerged into the Latinx culture.
* Here To Stay tackles deportation. In fact, Julia's job is SUPER important.
* All that food! I lived in Miami for five years. I have such a love for ALL the food mentioned. It hit close to home for me.

My dislikes:
* Here To Stay is being marketed as an enemies to lovers yet it isn't truly one. Julia figures out rather quickly that Rocco is a great guy. Honestly, it is more of a slow burn because there are a TON of factors holding the two back from a relationship.
* The steam and dirty talk was a bit too much for me. I am almost hesitant to say that too as I don't want to that to defer any one from reading this. It's really a great story.

Recommendation: Romance fans are going to love this one so read it.
