Review of Side Hustle by Emily Goodwin
Scarlet's been taking care of her family her whole life. She left school to care for her sister and now she's taking care of her father, who she's had to put in a nursing home. So she does what she has to to make ends meet. That means she's had to do some things she'd rather not do, things that are wrong, not to mention illegal. But a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do, right?
And then she rolls on up to her latest "job" and she falls in love with Weston and Jackson. She can't help herself because Jackson, Weston's little boy, has her heart from day one and Weston? He's got too big a heart not to fall for. She knows she can't hustle these two that she's fallen for, and that's fine, because she makes enough money as Jackson's nanny to take care of her dad. And she's found a big loving family, the kind she's always wanted in her heart of hearts. But when something (someone) from Weston's life appears and just may take it all away from Scarlet, can she risk telling the truth? Will she have to sacrifice her joy to protect Weston and Jackson from her own past?
I have to admit I was a bit anxious about Scarlet's character from the first page. I knew she was a hustler and generally I hate stories about hustlers because they aren't usually able to redeem themselves in my eyes. But, Scarlet more than redeemed herself, she grew to be the amazing person she should always have been, the person she would have been had her life been different. And it was a beautiful thing to read, her redemption. But really, the best part of Side Hustle for me was Weston and Jackson. Those two are so adorable and sweet, especially Jackson! Side Hustle nailed it on all fronts - it's sweet and a little emotional, the character and relationship is perfect, and it's more than a little steamy. I can't wait to read more about the Dawson family now.
