Wrecking Ball

Slow burns only work for me if the author can keep me engaged and boy did she I loved the build up of this story Calvin is a really sexy grump with some issues that have stemmed from his life experiences Cam has had some pretty shitty things happen as a result of believing in the wrong person Yet, these two are perfectly matched I love Cam so much Despite her circumstances, she doesn t take crap from anyone She s a strong lead with a very distinct voice, great characterization, and a big heart C [...]

Unpopular opinion alert 2 stars.Review at Of Pens and Pages.Hmm This is a hard one I love fake relationship tropes I live for it Same goes for the brooding hero and sassy heroine combination Add in slow burn and a little sports element, and it s pretty much a perfect book for me.Here we have Camilla Cam DeSantis, a recently widowed woman who s trying to restart her life after her husband leaves her with his mess Apparently, the love of her life was involved in a million dollar Ponzi scheme The s [...]

While reading this novel I could not help but think of life in general How easily life as we know it can change in an instant We get up one day and on that day life decides to throw you a curveball, you did not ask for the curveball, well sometimes maybe we did, and you just need to adapt to the new circumstances, and sometimes a good cry can put things back into perspective or maybe not, depends on this situation and the person, we all deal with things differently The point that I want to make [...]

Believe me, it s me not you I am the odd one out It is so hard to rate this book for me and please do not count on my judgement because while it was a 5 star read for me up until 80%, suddenly it hit my biggest trigger and I hated the rest of the bookSo 5 stars for the majority of it and 1 star for the final part, which makes me end up with 3 points.I believe that it could be a 4 or 5 star read for most of you because very few people are like me on this issue very few people hate the pregnancy b [...]

4,5 Boobear stars This was a very refreshing reading And I enjoyed it way too muchI had such a long time to feel that way while I was reading a book.It was captivating, funny, full of angst and soooo sexy in a not sexy way Am I confusing you Let me take the things from the beginningCamilla s life couldn t be nothing less than a train wreckShe lost her husband, her job, her house and her dignity And that led her to work for Mr Shaw, the QB of the Titans But believe me when I m saying that it took [...]

4.5 Color Me Surprised StarsHe snuck up on me, this sex on a stick, six foot four, two hundred and thirty pound man, snuck up on me and stole my heart.Just like Cal s pure awesomeness snuck up on Camilla, this wonderful book snuck up on me When I first started Wrecking Ball, I was looking for a snarky good time for the most part What I ended up getting was so much Camilla and Calvin had both been broken by love and neither was willing to put their heart on the line again You know what they say [...]

SOMEONE SAVES ME Someone saves me from grumpy jerks heroes whose ex cheated and who now hate the whole world We get it Life sucks Move the fuck on You re so moody that you re scaring your 8 YEARS OLD NEPHEW for crying out loud Ugh Crafting a loveable grumpy hero is possible, although it requires talent to walk on that very thin line and it wasn t done well in Wrecking Ball It just wasn t Also why do we still have to say that rape jokes aren t funny RAPE JOKES ARE NEVER FUNNY Not to mention the a [...]

3.5 Pretty cuteIt wasn t a bad read by any means, it was actually pretty decent, for a romance book.The characters had their sweet moment and I enjoyed how their relationship evolved, I actually felt something while reading this book YAY ME.

Ladies and Gentleman, may I present to you Camilla, the perfect female lead.There are so many authors out there who may have the right intention of creating a strong and willful heroine, but end up making her bitchy and obstinate instead Not Paola Dangelico, though.Camilla was truly amazing Proud, mature, sarcastic, vulnerable and affectionate, all mixed up in a perfect blend I ve developed a serious girl crush on her and I m not ashamed to admit so But, I digress.Let me tell you, this series s [...]

Wrecking Ball was recommended to me because I loved The Wall of Winnipeg so much, and I m glad I didn t pass it up Whilst Wrecking Ball is a slow burn sports romance it totally told its own story.The characters just worked for me Their banter, their honesty with each other and also the fact that Cam didn t take the crap that Caleb dished out I love how that woke him the hell up I do like a slow burn romance, but it needs to be done well Wrecking Ball is one of those.I m on a winning streak with [...]

I discovered P Dangelico completely by accident and I am so glad that I did The timing was absolutely perfect because I was looking for a light, fun read and she delivered in spades Anyone who knows me, knows how much I dislike reading in 1st person but I am absolutely 100% head over heels in love with this author s storytelling I couldn t put this book down and to say I adored EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER in the book would be an ENORMOUS understatement I am very much looking forward to the second ins [...]

Ooopss I am in the minority here I liked it I really did This book reminds me of The Wall of Winnipeg and Me and I floved that book Here s what I like the slow burn romance friendship between Cam and Amber can t wait for Amber and Ethan s book the hate friends lovers relationship between Cal and CamAnd I truly did enjoy most of it But seems like something is lacking near the end I think, I wanted groveling I was not satisfied in the end That s just me shrug

I laughed myself sillyWriting P Dangelico has a knack for wit I enjoyed her writing and the comedy 1st person 1 POV Characters Cam Calvin are the MCs Calvin is broody Because of the past he hides his emotions Cam is a very bright character, but a victim of an unfortunate circumstance The one thing that aggravated me about Cam, is the out of left field conclusions she would draw Storyline Cam needs a job and is highly qualified, but no one wants to hire her Calvin is desperate for help and reluct [...]

I want to give WRECKING BALL all the stars in the world I loved this special book by P Dangelico so so much and I couldn t for the life of me put it down I m completely smitten Totally and wholly in love with Calvin and Camilla What a perfectly imperfect duo who had me from page one right up until the end of the perfect epilogue Their chemistry radiated from the page and proved deeper and intense the further into the book you went I won t spoil anything here, I believe everyone should read this [...]
