Street Smart by Aly Stiles
4.0

This was a fun office romance with some very humorous bits as well! I was a little confused at first because instead of alternating chapters from the two main characters, they did little sections of the books where we got several chapters in a row from each of them, and then the next section was the other character. It worked out okay in the end, but at first I was wondering if it was only going to be from Marcos’s viewpoint.

I really enjoyed both of the characters in this and I liked the way they interacted. It was a perfect attraction leading to romance and fun times. Now, Marcos had a bit of an interesting way that he worked to afford to put himself through college. That made a fun twist of the story that came up at several inopportune instances in extremely funny ways.

It was also neat to get a little bit of time with characters we knew from other story in Penny Reid’s world from the Hypothesis series. And then, oh my gosh, the other intern that Marcos was up against, Chad, and his whole nuts marketing plan. So much about it just makes me still giggle thinking about it. But it’s not even that part that was funny. How they messed up Marcos’s name and paperwork? And then all the business “terms” that the big boss, Eva’s dad, keeps making up. Rabid inclusion was one I think. Oh my gosh. Really a fun story and I can’t wait to read the next one, as well as read more by this author in the future.
