Secure Sledgehammer (Hard To Love, #2) Engineered By P. Dangelico Accessible In Edition
and Amber was so much fun, A fabulous slow burn friends to lovers romance, Only the way P. Dangelico makes them. Amazing bantering and sizzling chemistry, The author knows how I want my slow burn, The dialogue between Amber and Ethan really showed how compatible theyre were and how well they worked together, Every scene with them was filled with that instant connection that proved that theyre the perfect match,
Amber was a hoot, Man she doesnt hold back and just says what she thinks, Honest and loyal to the core, Ethan Ethan Ethan. The quiet lawyer and manager but damn when it comes to Amber hes all man, He cares and protects. That delicious mouth of his took me by surprise,
Calvin and Camilla from Wrecking Ball made an appearance or two and it was so good to have them there,
Sledgehammer is just as fabulous as Wrecking Ball all because of some kick ass characters and terrific dialogue,
Fancy Pants Stars,stars.
I love it!!
You will love it too if you like characters driven story type of book,
It feels better than Cal's and Cam's story,
Also, you can see that Ms, Dangelico is not a MZ wannabe and she certainly as talented as MZ,
She managed to change how I feel about Amber from dislike to like then love her at the end,
Amber is not a typical heroine I would normally read in my book, she is full with anger and always had this feeling that she always mad with the world.
And Ethan He is a perfect guy of course!
He is kind, gorgeous, successful, well you know, everything all right in the world until he is not.
Everything is not what it seem, I won't say much though, because I wanted you to enjoy the experience like me, and don't worry there is no unnecessary drama to make the story more interesting.
I do really love Amber more than Ethan at the end, and her actions after that'Oh Shit!!' situation made me admire her too.
Take notice girl, yes you made mistake after mistake but please for god sake don't made mistake for the same things!
Now, if I love it so much, where is my.
star gone
While I adore the epilogue, I feels like there is something missing between the last chapter and the epilogue, I wonder, if this become a trend with the authors now
But don't worry it wasn't ruin the story:
And thank you so much for NetGalley for give me ARC of this wonderful book!: Well, it's official.
.
I'm a fan of Ms, Paola Dangelico and her delicious weaving of a slowburn tale,
Since reading Wrecking Ball, I have been itching to get my hands on this book, I'm so glad Ms. Dangelico took the unsolicited advice I offered in sitelinkmy review of Wrecking Ball and focused this story on Ethan and Amber,
Okay, . . yes, I know it wasn't me who influenced her to put Ethan and Amber together for Sledgehammer, but I am so glad she did!
Ethan is a hawtashellwithmusclestospare sports attorney with a serious alpha male, protective streak.
Be still my heart.
He's pressed and proper and definitely hangs on the "all work, no play" side of life, He's so perfect, in fact, that Amber has officially named him Fancy McButterpants, Imagine how thrilled she is when she finds herself in a jail cell on New Year's Eve with only Fancy to save the day.
And, to make life just a pinch peachier, . . the judge lessens her bail on the condition that she becomes a ward of Fancy McButterpants until her court date inmonths, Well, my, my, my
It's a recipe for an enemies to friends to lovers romance, folks, . . and IT. IS. GOOOOOOD!
That being said, . . the angst toward the end of this book knocked it down a bit for me, I love some serious angst in a story, but this was a tad too frustrating for my liking, For a bit, I was just pissed off at both of the MCs, Of course, it all worked out in the end and we get our HEA,
This book is a well executed slowburn told solely from the heroine's POV, It's steamy hot, full of sexual tension, loaded with wit, with well fleshed out characters and the added bonus of catching up with beloved characters from the previous book in this series.
I can't wait to read more of this fantastic series by Ms, Dangelico!

In January of, I discovered P.
Dangelico and it made me a very happy camper, She started my New Year off to a flying start, readingwise, In this series Hard to Love, she gave us people who were not the easiest, . . people who had flaws and people who loved hard,
In Sledgehammer, she has stayed true to her concept, These two characters may not be the easiest to love, but when they love each other, it is hardcore through and through, This gives us a journey for both characters and journey, we do,
We start in the middle of a huge crisis of circumstances for Amber Jones, She is an actress/bartender in NYC, has had horrific luck in romance, and feels after all of her life experiences with it.
. . it is right up there with the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus when it comes to reality, . . It just doesn't exist
Well, on rare occasions, she will say it must, . . because her best friend found it in the unlikely person of Calvin Shaw, quarterback man mountain, But their love is a fluke of nature and if you look at it too closely, you will be sucked in the black hole of Happily Ever After.
Now, crazy, outlandish experiences are nothing if common for this gal, She has a personality that cannot be contained, . . and as an actress that is a good thing, She has a
deep loyalty to her bestie and they share everything together, Her loyalty also extends to the grandmother who raised her,
Amber's home life was not hearts and flowers and when her mother decided she couldn't be one anymore, Amber went to live with her grandmother.
They developed a bond after much teenage trial and error and now with dementia taking her away bit by bit, . . it kills Amber every time she visits the care facility she is in now, Amber has put her career on the back burner and not pursued her dream the way she should, . . she will not leave her grandmother to move to Los Angeles, . . Grannie was there for her when she needed it, . . and now it is her turn,
Ethan Vaughn is the one you want negotiating your contracts and deals if you are a sports star, He knows all the pitfalls and works to steer his clients, new and established, away from them, He is driven to be the best and someday be the general manager of one of the best football teams out there, He is on his way and by staying true to all the methods he has incorporated into his life, . . things should fall into place,
Well, that is until the Force that Shouldn't Call To You, Amber Jones, . .
You see these two met because Ethan manages Calvin and Amber is Calvin's wife's bestie, . . So when Amber first opened her door thinking it was someone else and saw this Man from GQ in front of her, . . she sort of had a Brain Freeze from all that sexiness, perfection standing in front of her, . .
And when she is in sweats, hair sticking out from God knows what thing she had wrapped around her head, . . She did what she always does when defensive, . . she becomes this sarcastic, lashout machine, . . quips galore
Ethan just took it all in, . . which annoyed her even more and their relationship/friendship was off and running, She came up with nicknames to annoy him he would look at her and handle them all, Neither would ever admit there might be something there, . . hahaha never . and that was that.
Until right now, . . Because once again the forces of evil are aimed at our Amber, She had dropped her last ex, . . Mr. Wanta Be Director he wooed her and then did everything he could to change her, . .
Sounds familiar So, after all the doubt and emotional backbends, Amber did in this relationship, Amber had had enough, . . cut him loose. Well, that wasn't how this thing could end, . . so Mr. Ex dogs her into coming to his family's New Year's Eve party, . . and unfortunately Amber goes
With the need to flaunt things in Amber's face, he sets her up to be once again emotionally hurt, . . and then Like Murphy's Law, . . everything goes haywire somehow a kitchen fire happens, Amber is blamed and she is now in the pokey, . . hoosegow the big house Yup, she is in Jail!
Getting her one call, she reaches out to her bestie and who do you think she sends.
. . you got it Ethan. Amber cannot believe this is happening, . . can things get any worse, . . well sort of
The judge insists Amber be under a sort of house arrest until the trial and Ethan's home is where she is assigned.
These two Oil/Water/Opposites will now be roomies and we get the benefit of it,
This book had a lot of charm and overthetop sarcasm happening, Amber is a huge personality, She is like one of those friends that is an acquired taste, . . you know she is just so much fun yet you need to be in the right headspace to always appreciate it, You also know sometimes she may be using it as a shield to keep herself protected, . . Her heart is huge, her ability to love bigger and when she allows herself to feel she is deserving and accepting of it from others.
. . then you see the real person she is, . .
Ethan is a man who had to overcome a lot as a kid, . . he wasn't well and when he was finally able to control things, . . he went about making his body and mind equal, . . brilliant, beautiful, and solid. He is ambitious but also so slyly caring and giving, . . he has been hurt in his last relationship, . . over it and has a thing for Amber but will not cross the Attorney/Client line,
These two are hot together, . . before it happens, while it happens and continues to happen, They have their ups and downs, . . but when it all comes together, . . we, again as I said, . . Benefit.
P. Dangelio has a solid voice, a distinctly smart, sassy style and she gives fun hardcore, I will be curious who else is up her sleeve and Hard to Love, . .
