When creative director for Label Fashion Magazine, Dominic Russo is summoned to meet his mother at a pizza parlor, he never expects to begin an adversarial relationship with waitress, Ally Morales. Insults and name calling lead to Ally being fired, but Dominic's mother, Dalessandra, hires Ally to work at Label, much to his chagrin. From then on sparks fly as Dominic and Ally can't seem to get along and yet are wildly attracted to each other. As they begin to find common ground, past baggage related to their parents brings emotions to the surface that neither of them are equipped to handle. By a Thread is a ridiculously fun romance that also includes deep emotional scars, making it a very layered story. The characters and plot are well developed, and while the third act conflict is over played, the conclusion comes full circle for a very satisfying ending. There are clear references to The Devil Wears Prada and Pride and Prejudice expertly woven throughout the story, but it still maintains its own identity. Also, topical issues involving harassment, poverty, and Alzheimer's disease are all addressed as part of the plot. Overall, By a Thread is a very good romance filled with humor and emotion. By a Thread by Lucy Score Contemporary romance. Grumpy hero. Ally loses her job when she insults a customer at the restaurant she’s working at.

It’s against company policy to have a romantic relationship so maybe he can make her quit. Entertaining and lusty. Banter and business. I can’t wait to read more by this author. If i could give this more than five stars I would Not only is this my favorite from this author it is one of my favorites of 2020. Life ceased to exist when I read this book. From the first page until the last I was lost in the story. The characters were amazing, the banter was fire, the emails, and texts me I laugh and swoon and the chemistry and steam was off the charts. I was hooked on the anticipation and the connection between these characters. The magnetic pull between Ally and Dominick was some of the best that I've ever read. Strong secondary characters and a believable story made this even better. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Dominic was staring at me like he couldn't decide whether to chop me into pieces or pull my hair and French kiss me. Dominic 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 her first day of her new job ... in my office ... after being hired by my mother. 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. 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. She's working herself to death at half a dozen dead-end jobs for some secret reason she doesn't feel like sharing with me. And I'm going to fix it all. Don't accuse me of caring. She's nothing more than a puzzle to be solved. If I can get her to quit, I can finally peel away all those layers. Then I can go back to salvaging the family name and forget all about the dancing, beer-slinging brunette. Ally Ha. Hold my beer, Grumpy Grump Face. Author's Note: A steamy, swoony workplace romantic comedy with a grumpy boss hero determined to save the day and a plucky heroine who is starting to wonder if there might actually be a beating heart just beneath her boss's sexy vests.
