Omg!! This author has a phenomenal storytelling ability! I can't believe I've never read their books before. I absolutely love this story. The dialogue was fantastic as were the characters. I immediately went to Amazon and download a bunch of their books. Fantastic!

4 stars!

I loved this funny and cute story! Every aspect of it made me laugh or smile. I was more than pleasantly surprised at how much I loved this book!

I absolutely love this series from P. Dangelico. She is a one-click author for me. And this book did not disappoint!!

I have been looking forward to Mandy’s book ever since “Wrecking Ball.” I loved seeing Mandy’s growth in this book. She was fierce! I loved her independence and putting herself first. She was the star of this book!

Grant was also swoonworthy. It takes a bit to warm up to him, but when you do-Swoon! He is protective of Mandy and I love that about him!

I love the slow burn books and this one is so good! When Grant and Mandy finally come together, sparks fly!

Love this series and love this book!!! ❤️

Enemies to lovers...yes please.
Big hulking football player with an attitude...claps with glee.
Single mom at her wits end...I can understand.
Put them in the same house...oh yeah.

Bulldozer is a slow burn and then well, once that fire catches...hot damn. But don't let that slow you down because you are sure to get an "eyeful".

Bulldozer is an amazing story! Grant and Amanda each have their struggles, but remain strong characters. Amanda's relationship with her son Sam was so relatable! I can't wait to find more stories from P. Dangelico! This was a 5 star read!

5 Everything You Could Want Stars
* * * * * Spoiler Free
I first fell Hard for P. Dangelico when I read Wrecking Ball (Hard to Love.#1) in January 2017. It was my 3rd review of the year and it knocked me out. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... Then she gave us Sledgehammer (Hard to Love, #2) https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... And now we are gifted, yes, I say gifted with Bulldozer (Hard to Love #3).

This book had EVERYTHING you could want with a slow burn. I mean, look at that cover for Heaven's Sake. Picture That roaming around in the Altogether! Know there is strong character development for both people and child. Know you will lose sleep if you are still reading when the sun goes down. Know you will want to have your own Grant Hendricks 24/7. Know you will be thrilled to meet a woman as capable as Amanda Shaw.

And know for sure, this is storytelling at its best. The kind which stays with you. The kind where moments happen and you think about Real Life and how this tale has shown how to handle issues which have meaning for everyday people.

For Me, P. Dangelico and this series are on a roll. I am just thrilled I get to have a taste of it.

Bulldozer by P. Dangelico is the third book in the Hard to Love series and just like with the previous two books I fell in love with the characters, but the difference here was that our ride to happiness was not an easy one. What I am trying to say here is that as unputdownable as this book was, I got really frustrated while reading the first chapters, I wasn't feeling the chemistry between Grant & Mandy Sue, I wanted to like them, but that was not happening.

But Grant & Mandy Sue didn't give up on me, with their witty banter, and P. Dangelico's addictive writing style, they bulldozed their way into my heart. By the end, my heart was full, and their story was perfection ♥.

A sexy, witty, and heartwarming enemies-to-lovers romance that will have you slowly burning until the end, so if you love to feel the burn, then go ahead and clickity click this book and fall in love with these two.

I loved the first 65% of the book. The banter, the push and pull, and the feels were everything I look for in a romance. But then we get to the main conflict between the MC’s and I felt like the storyline turned a little too introspective.

To me, the last 35% of the book spent so much time on Mandy’s inner struggles which, in turn, somehow made the ending feel rushed and abrupt. Thankfully, we got two sweet epilogues. But still... I can’t help but feel like the last 35% had so many scenes that were left unsaid or like I was watching a movie on “fast forward”.

I’m trying to explain how I feel but I’m not sure if I’m making sense... let me try this way: I spent my first 3 hours reading about their daily life... Bec when I think about it... that first 65% covers their two months together in the beach house and then bam! It all speeds up and we’ve covered the next 3-4 months in 4-5 chapters. Then it’s the epilogue already!!!

I would’ve wanted more scenes with Mandy and Grant talking towards the end. Heck, just scenes with them together! <spoiler>I would’ve wanted to read more of his letters to her.</spoiler> I would’ve wanted a little more drama with Ronan too. Tbh, that little “problem” worked itself out <strong>SO</strong> neatly that I was sort of stunned at how quickly it was resolved.

Nevertheless, I really liked this couple. I liked their love story. And I will definitely be buying the next book in this series, if there is one bec I really like the way P. Dangelico crafts a romance.

Bulldozer
By: P. Dangelico

📚💕⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💕📚



Well let me start by saying I have become a huge fan of this author. She writes with so much intensity and emotion pulled from each book it’s felt page after page. Some are quick witted story lines that are so perfect and lets you believe you have a front row seat. So being able to read this love story didn’t disappoint. The authors ability to have two separate individuals struggling in their everyday life and try to navigate someone else’s thoughts, needs and desires was intense and gives all the fills.

I truly enjoyed the complexity between Grant and Amanda. It was nice seeing the slow progression of two broken people coming together.

Amanda Shaw has pulled it together. It's taken a couple of years, a boatload of hard work, and a ton of self-discipline, but she finally has her problems in a headlock.

Her yoga studio in the city has become so successful she's opening one near the beach, and her relationship with her ten-year-old son is improving every day.

The last thing she needs is a monkey wrench thrown into her smoothly running life.

Grant Hendricks is one big monkey wrench.

The four time Defensive Player of the Year, three time NFL sack leader, and all around football god has officially hit rock bottom.

A devastating back injury means he may have to retire and that scares him more than doctors telling him the next hit could leave him paralyzed.

All he needs is a quiet place to think and his teammate's beach house sounds like just the place. Problem is, the woman already living there.

I really enjoyed this book and it kept me engrossed throughout. I really loved the characters and the way they interacted with each other. This is a fun, hot, romantic must read book and I would definitely recommend this book to
This book has everything I love in a book. Then you add that it's beautifully written and believable. It is easily a five star read. This story flows so incredibly well that the next thing you know your 80% into the book and loving every second of it. The believable way the characters interact is perfect. Run, Hop, Jump or use your (1 click) finger to do whatever you have to do and get this amazing book. It'll break your heart, you'll want to scream with frustration and it'll let you discover that love just might conquer all. The chemistry is steamy and sweet and oh so romantic.

Thanks Netgally for letting me read and review.📚💕

4.5 Stars!

What a totally absorbing book from new to me author Paolo Dangelico. Bulldozer is engaging right from the very beginning, and the epilogue is simply amazing. The two primary characters, yoga instructor Amanda Shaw, and pro football player Grant Hendricks, have remarkable chemistry, and their romantic courtship is replete with discovery, desire and love. Ms. Dangelico is a talented storyteller and her words kept me wanting more. This is the third book from the author's "Hard To Love" series, and it can be enjoyed as a standalone.

Finally, Amanda has many good things going on in her life. She and her business partner are opening up their second yoga studio in the Hamptons, her son is beginning to come out of his shell, and she has been sober for three years. She loves living in Manhattan, however, spending the summer at her brother's place while she oversees the build out of her business is a nice change of pace. She is quite surprised when she finds her temporary residence already occupied. She is greeted by a nude Grant, who has no qualms about being naked as much as possible.

Contrarily, Grant is having a difficult time navigating his life. He is recovering from a bad back injury and subsequent surgery. Returning to the game that defines him may not be possible. Especially since he is not really taking care of himself the way he should. Luckily, Amanda and her son provide a reason for him to turn his life around.

I truly liked this book, and the developing love connection between Amanda and Grant was a wonderful slow burn. I immediately connected with both of them as individuals and as a couple. The secondary characters were unique in their own right, which added a lot of background story to the present happenings. I especially liked Amanda's ten-year-old son Sam, because his vulnerability was so genuine. Overall, this is a terrific read and I can't wait for the next book in the series.

I wish I could give this a 4.5! Not quite a 5 but not a 4 either. This is the first book by P. Dangelico I've read, but I will be looking for others. Great story line and great characters...enjoyable from beginning to end.

Amanda is the bulldozer in this story!

Amanda Shaw is staying at her brother’s house with her son Sam in the Hamptons while she prepares another location of her yoga studio for the summer. Amanda just wants to be a good parent to Sam, after putting her life back together following rehab. Little did Amanda know that her brother Calvin Shaw (Wrecking Ball) had lent his house to a teammate to stay after having back surgery.

Grant Hendricks was surprised when Amanda and her son Sam walked in because Calvin hadn’t told him she was staying too. Grant doesn’t date or have a girlfriend because he doesn’t want to be like his father and brother with domestic violence.

Amanda and Grant butted heads because Amanda felt that Grant judged her past and Grant didn’t know what to do with Amanda and Sam because he hadn’t been around children for a long time.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

<b>*3.75 Stars*</b>

<i>I was provided an ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.</i>

Amanda has just gotten her life back together. She's sober, taking care of her son and has a booming business. Said business sends her to her brother's house in the Hampton's for the summer. Except when she gets here, the house is not empty like she thought it would. There's a huge, naked football player in it.

I enjoyed this story. It was fun and well written and Amanda was great. I seriously love her son too. Overall, the characters were complex and relatable. I liked Grant too, he was interesting.
The plot was nice and slow burning and I enjoyed the whole Hampton's setting.
I didn't love the ending though. And how the main conflict was resolved.
Also, I felt like they fell in love so soon. I mean it takes them a long time to admit that they might like each other but after that I went a bit fast, in my opinion.
Still, a very nice romance, with very good characters.

I’ve fallen in love all over again with P. Dangelico and her writing. She has a knack for brooding and grumpy men and let me tell ya all that Grant is just that. To begin with. Amanda slowly strips of his armor with her good heart and spunky personality and reveals that Grant also embodies a heart. He’s an amazing and gentle soul with so much heart and goodness but he doubts himself because of his rough childhood.

Amanda and her son Sam was introduced in Wrecking Ball and it was good to be back with the Shaw family. Amanda is a fabulous heroine. She’s made mistakes in the past in particular with her son and now she’s trying to rectify that.
It doesn’t start of the best way thanks to Grant. Their first meeting is quite memorable. The humor is right up my alley. The author knows the right balance between awkward and hilarious. So many awesome quotes and laugh out loud scenes. Grant wooed me properly despite his grumpy ass. Man, he’s got a way with words and how he chose to show it melted my heart.
Bulldozer is a slow burn but what wonderful slow burn was because I was constantly intrigued and invested in Amanda and Grant. What started as enemies slowly and beautifully evolved to friendship and then more. At the perfect pace.

Calvin and Camilla appears and of course I was smiling like crazy. Cal still a man of few words but oh so infatuated with his woman. They’re the perfect support for Amanda and shows up no matter what. What can I say? Bulldozer bulldozed into my heart as did a certain dog named Roxy.

P. Dangelico writes some of the absolute best slow burn romances I have ever read.

I always love her heroines. They have their fair share of difficulties, but are fighting hard to make the best life they can. Amanda Shaw, sister of Calvin from Wrecking Ball, is no different. She has gotten her life back on track and wants to be a good mother to her young son Sam.

Enter Grant Hendricks. He takes her completely by surprise when she finds him at her brother's beach house where she and Sam were going to stay. They get off to a rocky start, but both soon find there is more to the other than they expect.

I loved getting to know Amanda and Grant as the plot unfolded. Just when I thought I knew the characters and what might happen next, they did something to make me love them a little bit more.

While you can read this as a standalone book, I highly recommend reading the first couple books in the series as they are wonderful stories too.

I’ve found a new author to add to my must read list!!

Let’s just say I was only 10 minutes into the book and I was already in LOVE and knew I had to go back and read the others in the series!!!

There are so many WTH moments packed into this book!!!! Grant, oh, you naked ass, Grant... I just couldn’t get enough. Let’s just say I can’t wait to read all other siblings stories!!!! At least I hope we get to meet the the others besides Calvin! And I’ve already purchased Calvin’s book!!! So pick up this series and read now!!!

What would you do if you walked into your brothers beach house, your summer home to find a naked, behemoth of a man standing in front of the fridge. Of course you'd call the cops, right?

Amanda is setting up her new satellite yoga studio in the Hamptons to manage the huge success her & Dev have had. She's staying at Calvin & Camila's beach house which sounds idyllic until she discovers her and her son Sam will be sharing it with her brother's teammate while he recovers.

To say these two start off on the wrong foot is a gross understatement. Grant will do anything to make Amanda turn tail and run. Amanda will do anything to stay put even if she has to deal with Angry Dude. Her life has been no bed of roses so let him do is best.

OMG these two were absolutley fantastic to read. This is an enemies to friends to lover read that has it all. I was so thrilled to be approved for an ARC that I one clicked the first two in the series because they sounded right up my alley and am I so glad I read these I order from book one (you don't have to but I'm kind of opposed to starting standalones in a series out of order)

I am hoping very much that we get Audrey's story at some point. I would freaking love that!!!

I cannot say enough good things about this book. First of all, one of the best books I’ve read this year. I’m am so flipping in love with Grant, Mandy and Sam, it’s not even funny. Ughhhh, this book has all the things I love...slow burn, sexual tension, enemies to lovers, good banter, broody, alpha male who’s really just a big teddy bear and protects those he loves fiercely. I could go on and on. The bottom line is this book is everything. All the feels from beginning to end. I was completely hooked and didn’t want it to end. I guess I’ll just have to read it over and over. Everyone needs this book in their life like yesterday.

A very uplifting and gratifying read, I enjoyed catching up with characters Sam and Amanda from a previous book, Wrecking Ball, where I first fell in love with author P Dangelico.

Ex-Alcoholic Amanda and her son Sam are off to spend the summer in the Hamptons, but an unexpected and naked roommate takes them by surprise. Grumpy Grant, an NFL giant who doesn't realise he is, in fact, a gentle giant, is the hero of our story who tries very hard to avoid the feelings Amanda brings out of him.

Both are incapable of accepting love, they don't feel like they deserve it - but it was lovely to watch the walls break down and see them finally accept that they were two broken people who had hearts of gold and lots of love to give each other.

This story felt very different from the rest of Dangelico's backlist, but I enjoyed it all the same. The lack of angst and drama was a welcome change, but I would like to see some of that back in force again in the future.

*** 4.5 Stars ***

Single mom collides with grumpy, Alpha AF male??

Ummmm, yes please.

I mean that right there is my kryptonite and although things moved a little slow for me in the beginning, after a few chapters I didn’t want to put the book down. It was sweet, smexy, funny and filled with all kinds of heartstring pulling moments that it really was impossible to keep myself from turning the pages until the very end.

Amanda is a force to be reckoned with and I absolutely adored her. She didn’t have an easy childhood and tripped herself up a few times as an adult, but she found the clarity and strength to pull on her shitkickers and get her life in order for herself and her son. She’s sweet, sassy and that mix of strength and vulnerability that makes it easy to connect with her on many levels.

Grant is that mix of grizzly bear and teddy bear all rolled up on in one smexy package. Alpha AF, especially in the moodiness arena and protective realm, the man protects and cares for what he deems his, even when others aren’t aware of if. He does have a good dose of ‘insert foot in mouth’ disease, but he comes by it honestly because when you see his heart, you see how blindingly golden it really is.

Grant and Amanda’s journey to their HEA was a fun one. The push/pull between them was strong, but the chemistry between them was undeniable from the start, even when that start was a bit bumpy...no sweet meet-cute for these two. But I loved watching them lower their walls and find that not only were they good together, but good for one another, of course Sam and Roxy had very important parts to play in getting them to truly see who the other was beneath the armor. The big bump in the road wasn’t a total surprise, and I ain’t mad at it because it was something they both had to come to terms with, and I loved how everything worked out for them in the end.

This is my first read by the author and I did go against my whole not reading a series out of order stance, but I just couldn’t help myself and had to check it out. The writing was engaging, even though in the beginning things felt a little slow for me, but then that moment came and things took off and I was all in. There are quite a few issues that dealt with throughout the story, and I thought they were handle well and actually liked how one secondary story ended up playing out. I loved Sam and Roxy and I now want to go and read Cam and Calvin’s book after meeting them and loving the chemistry between them. With that said, Bulldozer can easily be read as a standalone without any issues. So, now I have a new author to stalk and see if I can fit more books onto the TBR list.
