Side Hustle by Kaci Lane Review

 Hello Friends :)

I pray this week finds you all well, and I want to thank you all for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess.

Last week, I shared my review of Taco Truck Takedown by Kaci Lane with you all. That was the prequel novella to Kaci's Schooled on Love series, and today I'm excited to get to share my review of the first book in that same series with you all.

Side Hustle by Kaci Lane:



Source: Complimentary Copy Provided by the Author

Publisher: Kaci Lane Creations

Publication Date: December 3rd, 2020

Genre: Contemporary Romance/Adult Fiction/Clean Romance

Series: Schooled on Love


Synopsis:


She’s a Hustle app driver. He’s a detective on a case. And her most regular passenger is a criminal.

One minute Angie’s counting her tips and the next, she’s being frisked by handsome detective Trent Turner.

In different circumstances, she wouldn’t have minded the attention of those piercing blue eyes, the feel of his hands, or even the sound of his voice. Except all he was interested in was wrapping her with wires and giving her instructions through an earpiece.

Good thing she’s getting paid for this, because if there’s anything more nerve-wracking than driving a criminal while secretly working with the cops, it’s listening to a charming voice that makes her heart want to jump out of her chest…

If only this undercover job didn’t depend on Angie keeping her feelings for Trent from spiraling out of control…

My Review:

If you're looking for a realistic, gritty and emotional romance read, perhaps Side Hustle isn't the story for you. If, however, you're looking for a sassy, clean, hilarious rom com book that will have you unable to put it down, then this is definitely the one you're going to go ahead and pick up.

Angie and Trent meet under strange circumstances. Her second job driving passengers for the Hustle app has put her accidentally into connection with drug runners, and Trent is the detective trying to piece the whole case together. What starts as an undercover assignment turns into a developing romance with a whole lot of chemistry. Can these two find a way to make a relationship work that started under such strange circumstances? I can guarantee you're going to want to find out.

Told in both Angie and Trent's viewpoints, Side Hustle is full of hilarious hijinks, heartwarming moments, and plenty of action. I read almost this entire story in one sitting, and Kaci Lane is definitely becoming an author to watch out for in the clean romance genre.

Definitely go ahead and pick this one up, especially if you're looking for something lighthearted to take your mind off of everything going on in our world today.

Final Rating: 4/5.

Thanks so much to Kaci Lane for letting me read and review this!

I voluntarily read and reviewed a complimentary copy of this novel from the author in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to give a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. 

Thanks so much for reading guys! Have a great rest of your day :)

Della and Darby by Susannah B. Lewis Review

  Happy Monday Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you decided to stop by my little corner of the internet. My husband and I actually have this week off of work for a much needed holiday, and I'm excited for the many fun things we have planned. Aside from the fun things, I'm honestly thankful to have some extra time to get my house back in shape, and to get more organized for Christmas. I also hope to have lots of time to curl up with some great reads, and I recently had a chance to read one of my most anticipated 2023 releases! Earlier in the year, I read my first novel by Susannah B. Lewis, and I couldn't have loved it more. It was definitely one of my favorite reads of this entire year, and I've been looking forward to reading her next release ever since. If you'd like to check out that review, you can do so using the link below: Bless Your Heart Rae Sutton Otherwise, keep on reading down below for today's full review. De...

First Line Friday: Courting Mr. Emerson

Happy Friday Everyone :) Since it is Friday, I'll once again be participating in First Line Friday which is hosted by Hoarding Books .  For this week, I'm going to be sharing the first line from Melody Carlson's newest book, Courting Mr. Emerson. About The Book: When the fun-loving and spontaneous artist Willow West meets buttoned-up, retired English teacher George Emerson, it's not exactly love at first sight. Though she does find the obsessive-compulsive man intriguing. Making it her mission to get him to loosen up and embrace life, she embarks on what seems like a lost cause--and finds herself falling for him in the process. A confirmed bachelor, George vacillates between irritation and attraction whenever Willow is around--which to him seems like all too often. He's not interested in expanding his horizons or making new friends; it just hurts too much when you lose them. But as the summer progresses, George feels his defenses crumbling. The quest...
