Hands down! P. Dangelico is truly one of my favorite romance authors who creates marvelous, badass, tough and adorable heroines and tempting but a little assholish heroes mostly break those amazing heroines’ hearts, groveling too hard to get them back! But eventually the gold hearted heroines take them back, don’t they?

Good thing is she never disappoints me. She writes witty dialogues, builds balanced angst, sorrow combining with sweet- emotional romance and pant melting chemistry! She is one of the queens who writes the hell of pant melting, tear jerking, happy ending romance stories! I’d love to devour every one of them.

Other good thing about her is I never gave any of her books less than four stars ( even I gave three stars to Colho’s three books! ) because she always knows how to please her readers, how to warm-break and warm our hearts again by giving us so sweet, awww moments!

Firstly I’m giving this book 3.5 stars rounded up to 4! I was expecting to give five stars till last %15 but as like I formalized the hero’s dickish move made me jump from my couch and swear like a sailor ( maybe worse) and ending was so sudden, haphazard. I wish the hero made a more extravagant gesture to win the amazing heroine’s heart! And the story also deserves an epilogue! I didn’t want to say goodbye to this couple so soon!

If I only give grades for the heroine: I would give Riley 20 stars! She is AMAZING! She’s straightforward, smart, sassy, sexy, independent, strong, taking no shit from anyone, taking care of her loved ones, working her ass off. She’s strong, resilient, so much adorable with her great sense of humor! I loved she and her bestie Veronica’s girl power! ( by the way I also liked Beau: the brother of Jordan even though he appeared only at one chapter! Wouldn’t he be great pair with Veronica? Maybe they get their own sequel! )

And Jordan: even though he was mean, obsessed about health, earned his Grim Reaper nick name, I couldn’t hate him because it was obvious he’s withdrawn and broken man because of a great tragedy, raising his friends’ kid, dealing with his grief! As I read his POV and learn more about his feelings to Riley, he seriously melted my heart!

The couple’s chemistry could put any place on fire! They were compatible, living like a married couple without sex for months ( actually this means they acted like ten years long married couple when sex is out of picture! )

At some parts, I crossed my fingers: because when I learn big revelation about Jordan’s childhood, I was so scared the book’s direction would change extra dramatically but my wishes came true: it didn’t go that way!

Overall: it was fast, entertaining , heartfelt, poignant, engaging story! Ms. Dangelico did it again! Riley is our girl! She’s fabulous heroine! It was my pleasure to read her story!
I cannot wait to read more and more of works of one of my favorite romance authors!

Special thanks to Netgalley and Ms. Dangelico for sharing this remarkable digital reviewer copy with me in exchange my honest opinions.

I literally could not put this one down!
I realize it’s only January 24th, but this is the best book of 2021! I truly mean this!
She knocked it out of the park with this one - my absolute favorite story by this author! (I mean look at all my explanation marks!)

Let’s start with the cover shall we - it’s beautiful and it captures when these two finally move to a little something more. The chemistry between these two is off the charts and there relationship grew organically unlike some love stories.
The blurb sounded great to me, but it doesn’t tell much. And neither will I. Just know he’s lost in the beginning. Life has no meaning. Riley is the opposite. Everything is looking up for her. She has attainable goals she’s actively working towards until something happens.

You’ll live this story hopefully as much as I love it!

A lovely contemporary romance story. The main characters were charming and kept the story flowing easily and charmingly. It's a slow burn romance with some unexpected challenges that gave the characters more depth. They are so well suited and the chemistry was beyond fun to read as they both have walls up against deep feelings. The romantic element of the story I felt from beginning to end and the romance just really made these two characters great. There were a few continuity issues that I felt could have been tighter and more cohesive when it came to the back stories of each main. Tightening those up would have made certain aspects more rich as a couple of times I questioned rather than just got it. But thankfully those things didn't detract from the core friendship and romance that grows between the two and moreso even my enjoyment of watching their relationship grow. I also enjoy how the writing of P. Dangelico never labored on but rather kept moving forward and stayed central to the love story and the main characters focusing on them and not outside influences. It made the story mature and well developed and the characters more easy to love. This is a great romance book, perfect for a well read afternoon. I hope we get to see more from this Dangelico realm of the book world.

BOOK - HOW TO SAVE A LIFE
AUTHOR - @pdangelicoauthor
RATING - 3.5 ⭐⭐⭐🌠 OUT OF 5.

I had been waiting for a long time to read a new book by one of my favourite authors @pdangelicoauthor so thankyou to @netgalley and the author for providing me with the arc.

Riley James has had a tough life but she knows how to protect herself and would do anything for the people she loves. Jordan West's life seems perfect from distance but he's going through a bad time now and on top of that due to a sudden turn of events he finds himself in a situation where he needs help and he doesn't trust most people. When Riley and James meet by a chance encounter and she literally saves him from getting mugged, he knows he can trust her or atleast give a chance hoping she accepts his proposition.
I loved seeing Maisie, Riley and James together and the overall chemistry and connection between Riley and James kept getting better throughout the book. The Romance was little on the slow burn side and both the characters had depth as well and strong personalities who have been through so much already.

The book releases on 2 February so look out.

Wow, just wow! Brilliant! Such a gem of modern romance! I would highly recommend this even to people who don’t usually read romance, trust me, there is something for everyone,

Went into this with moderate expectations. Romance these days, you can anticipate almost anything, like reading same book where characters have just changed their names. Well, not this one!

Loved it. Simple as that. Emotional depth and topics covered, character development, just emotions. I gave me all of them, you go through a rollercoaster of them... It is rare to find this kind of depth to romance characters! None of the flaws usually attributed to romance.

We follow both Riley and Jordan on their personal journeys with same interest as the slow burn relationship developed. It’s lovely to see all the flaws of human behavior so well written into this emotional story. You can’t but not root for them! It’s honest, raw, complex and talks about all different kinds of strength and loyalty, simply beautiful.

5 Stars for this emotional read!

I went through every emotion while reading this book ... I cried, I laughed, I was mad, I hurt and I swooned. It's not often a book can surprise me and this book certainly did! I did not expect the reason why Jordan was so closed off and the reason why Riley and Tommy were such good friends. There were twists and turns I just did not see coming. I'm not sure whether Riley saves Jordan or Jordan saves Riley ... maybe both. And I always love a book with kids and Maisie is just a little sweetie.

Jordan and Riley meet when she saves him from being beat to a pulp by two hoodlums. A week later, Jordan finds himself responsible for a toddler and he offers Riley the job of caring for her at a price she can't refuse. Riley takes the job because once again, Tommy's in trouble and she feels the need to bail him out. But Riley never thought she would fall for the brooding billionaire as they are from completely different worlds ... just ask Jordan's mom.
