adriana herrera has such a talent for writing found families, and here to stay is the perfect example of that!! julia, rocco, and all the exiles were such a comfort to read. i enjoyed this romance so much and the spice was wonderful as usual. julia is learning what it means to live outside of the life she's always had and how to choose herself for once. i love her so dearly. rocco quinn is a swoony, emo, scarred, sad boy that just wants to be the man his sister needs. he sticks to his guns and makes sure his woman is satisfied. i love this book and can't wait to continue in adriana herrera's backlist!!!
