About this deal

Now the blurb and the notes by Ms. Score tell you exactly what you are going to get. Yet, even with those descriptions and how accurate they are, you will not be prepared for the heart squeezes, the swoon-worthy moments, or the overwhelming wishes to slap an idiot. You think I like this? You think I like being the asshole who can’t have you so I don’t want anyone else to either? Do you know how I felt all day just knowing that you were dressing for someone else? That you were going out with someone? That another man was going to touch you tonight?” as for Ally, i LOVE her. she didn't take any shit from Dominic and even called him out for playing games with her.

I just had the chance to revisit this audio masterpiece; The narration by Sebastian York and Erin Mallon is absolute perfection! They bring Dom and Ally to life, providing a theater-like experience and making you feel like you’re right in the middle of the story. But that doesn’t mean that I’m going to be the next Russo man to take advantage of his position. I might be a second-generation son of a… fill in the blank, but I am not my father. SO GOOD. ✍🏻Adding ✍🏻Lucy Score to my new auto-buy author list✍🏻 This book is a work place romance, grumpy boss, enemies to lovers ish, a slow burn, and spicy. ARE YOU KIDDING ME! Could I get more of my favorite things in one book???? Literally all my favorite tropes. I have a review policy. Which is weird, I know. It turns out my first stab at it wasn't working out for me, so if you care, you might give it a look.Dominic was staring at me like he couldn't decide whether he loathed me or wanted to French kiss me. Authors, if you are a member of the Goodreads Author Program, you can edit information about your own books. Find out how in this guide. Plot in a nutshell: Ally's already been having a very hard day when Dominic walks into the pizzeria where she's a server.

The characters themselves were great. Nothing I haven’t seen before because I mean, there are a LOT of romance books that take place at the office of a fashion magazine and there’s only so many things you can do, but like I said, this book super entertaining and I definitely think that was because of how well-written the characters were.Ally has four different jobs, trying to make ends meet and taking care of her father. Until a terrible boss decides to fire her for turning against him and putting him in his place. Wasting no time, her mother/dining roommate offers Ally a job at Russo’s fashion magazine empire, Label. So maybe her colorful, annoying, inexplicably alluring personality brightens up the magazine’s offices that have felt like a prison for the past year. Maybe I like that she argues with me in front of the editorial staff. And maybe my after-hours fantasies are haunted by those brown eyes and that sharp tongue.

Dominic's dinner companion - his mother - is appalled by his behavior and offers Ally a job at her company . . . a place where Dominic also works. By a Thread has an engaging, multi-layered story that will touch your heart and make you laugh; The character development and an incredible cast of supporting characters is nothing short of extraordinary. Ally meets Dom in a very unique way. He gets her fired after she writes something inappropriate on his pizza. Ally's life hasn't been easy as of late and this was the last straw. Although it was awful at the time, it was the best thing that could have happened to her as Dom's mom gave her a job that helps her out so much.so this book starts with Dominic Russo (H) going to a pizza restaurant where he's supposed to meet his mother (owner of the magazine company he works at) and a waitress told him that there were no phones allowed but he's an asshole so he ignores her then proceeds to be rude to her. the waitress, who is none other than our heroine Ally Morales, isn't taking any of his shit so obviously, she's rude too and she makes him a pizza where the pepperonis are written in "FU". he gets her fired cuz again, he's an asshole, plus all his frustration from the past year finally blew up and he took it out on her. his mother was having none of his attitude and chased after Ally and then proceeded to hire her. Despite the slow burn and the length, I was happy that I enjoyed reading this story for a second time!!!

then obviously after that there was a ton of push and pull, cute situations with sexual tension and the MCs "fighting" but its just foreplay, the whole "i want you but i can't be with you" trope from the H, etc. But that doesn’t mean that I’m going to be the next Russo man to take advantage of his position. I might be a second-generation asshole, but I am not my father. Ally, the main character, who is broke poor gorgeous but doesn't know it beautiful even though she has no money to put effort into her looks live in a house with a broken ceiling has a father in a nursing home whom she pays all the bills for and also never forget that she is a feisty Cheating? No. Nope. Cheating was never going to happen because these two are so passionate about each other and so loyal. Reading his verbal sparring with Ally was so entertaining. These two fire off of each other for much of the book yet, underneath the verbal foreplay and the palpable sexual tension, Dominic slowly starts to feel things for her outside of just physical attraction.

I got her fired. Okay, so I’d had a bad day and took it out on a bystander in a pizza shop. But there’s nothing innocent about Ally Morales. She proves that the first day at her new job… in my office… after being hired by my mother. Ajunior editor chirped in my ear about canary yellow sundresses and Cuban photoshoots while the January wind worked its icy fingers through my layers. I navigated the curb buried under foot-tall piles of what used to be snow. Now it was gray slush frozen into dirty, depressing clumps.” So his entire resistance to Ally is stupid, nonsensical, and completely impossible in an actual person living an actual life.
