3.5/5
Very Devil Wears Prada inspired. I loved the makeover she got from her colleague.
Dominic was... Well, he was an asshole. He wasn't annoying in the first part of the book, but he was very annoying during the third act breakup. Like come on, dude, do you have to be so stupid?? Should have gone to the therapy.
Ally was annoying too, especially when she didn't want to accept money from Dom or her friends. But nooo, she will do a striptease instead and dance for a VIP client in private instead of asking for help. Seriously. Ughhhh.
And then she's angry when Dominic pays for her things. But she still accepts the clothes he gives her. Ughhh it was so frustrating!!
The third act breakup was annoying i liked Dominic's grovel but I hoped Ally wouldn't forgive him that easily when she met him for the first time after the breakup. But I have to say, Dominic's gesture was very nice.
The amount of epilogues was overwhelming and not in a good way. I hate the surprise pregnancy trope in the epilogue (though I'm glad that the characters were older than the typical mid 20s) but that would be enough of an epilogue. We really didn't need a year and 10 years later epilogues too, they didn't add anything other than the wordcount.
The book dragged on too much, especially after they got together. I was just waiting for the other shoe to drop and couldn't enjoy the story
I gobbled this book up in a couple of days! Dominic and Ally are one of my favorite couples in Lucy Score's writings. I'm a sucker for a strong female character and Ally doesn't take any shit, especially from Dom. The story is well written and an absolute gem.
Ohhhh my god.
Okay so to start us off - read this if you like grumpy sunshine, enemies to lovers, workplace romance. Like this is such a classic trope but done SO WELL.
Dominic is so sexy. Those spicy scenes - ooooo baby.
No spoilers, but the GROVELLING. Had me in tears.
Love love love what this author does to me.
I think I really like Lucy Score books. Lol This was my second read from her. I loved the story. The ending felt kind of rushed, but the overall story and plot line and spiciness was really good. Looking forward to more of her books!
2.5*
Overall i liked it but i just had so many icks with it. Maybe i'm just being picky idk
4,5⭐
Satán entró en el club de striptease, bebé
Una lectura fresca y divertida. Un romance de oficina, a fuego con lento, con enemigos que se convierten en amantes y un protagonista muy gruñón.
El primer encuentro de Ally y Dominic, solo hay una forma de describirlo, CATASTROFICO. Se gritan en el restaurante en el que ella trabaja y terminan por despedirla.
Pero cuando al lunes siguiente Dominic encuentra que su madre ha contratado a Ally para trabajar en su revista de moda, la cosa se pone interesante. Porque, aunque se odien, no pueden negar la atracción que sienten el uno por el otro, bueno hacerlo lo hacen, y es de lo más divertido. Creo que no me he reído tanto con un libro, nunca.
Entonces, esta es la cosa, ninguno de los dos quiere salir con el otro. Ally lo esta pasando mal en casa y Dominic está atado por la política de empresa. Pero, aun así, les es imposible mantenerse las manos para ellos mismos. Bueno...ya veréis porque van a utilizarse las manos
Okay, I obviously need to read more Lucy Score because this book is amazing. It is hilarious and sweet. The banter between the main couple is fire and kept a smile on my face – I lived for the moments where they got to interact. Ally is such a great character too! I love how she is nice to everyone and didn't engage in girl-hate. She is a fantastic character that you can't help, but want to root for. Dom has his ups and downs. I mostly loved him, but I don't know if I could have forgiven him at the end.
Such a great book though and I will admit to being concerned because I don't read many books over 400 pages let only over 500! This is a slow burn romance... in a way. They obvious are attracted to each other, but they try to stay away, soooo I'm counting it as a slower burn. And for as long as this book is I was still hooked on every page with a smile on my face.
Funny, romantic, featuring characters to root for, this is a book I'm so glad I picked up. And yes, as soon as I finish writing this review I'll be looking for my next Lucy Score book to pick out.
HILARIOUS and dirty
I could have done without the very explicit sex scenes but I was laughing from page one and thought it was HILARIOUS. Made it worth it! Funny as hell and great to read!
