The Hustler by Gina Azzi
4.0

4.5 stars really

This is my first book by this author and I really enjoyed it! While for the most part the steamy scenes were kind of fade to black, we did get at least one full scene, and part of the others as well. The beginning was really a good start. It grabbed me and totally made me feel for Sofia. And then Eddie, or Theo as we learn is his real name, well I get why she wasn’t sure when she found out what she did, but really he wasn’t as bad as the little white lie or omission was. And truly, if they were just having a quick, fun fling during the wedding, she really might have overreacted a little. Although it does sound like she at least got a night of fun out of it before she found out.

There was a hint of something about Theo’s parents and their hospital and I kind of got where it would probably be going later in the book. But one thing that really made me like the book was how his parents reacted when it was kind of discovered or revealed. What it shows is that they were the good people that they had seemed to be when Sofia first met them. And Sofia’s family as well was really great. I liked that we had such good people and all of them got together and were able to get along and become friends.

As I mentioned I haven’t read any other books by this author, but I think I would love to read the earlier ones in this series as well as future books. Another new author on my radar to start off 2022!
