[Review] Out of the Blue by P Dangelico

“Out of the Blue” is P Dangelico’s latest contemporary romance release. It’s a stand alone book, that follows the story of Blue Baldwin an ex-paramedic and current animal rescue worker and Shane the mysteriously stoic older brother of a disgraced Hollywood A-list star.

Blue is a complex heroine and the story really shows her growth as she comes to terms with an incident that drove her out of her busy city job and out into the animal rescue farm that she works on. She begrudgingly agrees to helping Aiden, a troublesome Hollywood A List star who has agreed to help out at the ranch for community service following a string of stuff ups in the press. As she learns to handle managing Aiden’s selfish attitude on the ranch, she becomes attracted to, and falls for, his older brother Shane who has come along to keep Aiden on the straight and narrow.

I loved Blue and Shane’s interactions - especially when she’s clueless as to him being a celebrity author himself. Shane for his part tries to ignore his attraction to Blue but fails as she tries to date other men and he can’t handle the jealousy.

He is a relatively closed off character and this book does deal a lot with the rift between the two brothers and how that influences his hesitancy at pursuing anything with Blue.

Whilst I couldn’t put this book down, much like with all P Dangelico books,I acknowledge this isn’t one of the easiest reads in her line of contemporaries.

It’s still steamy where it counts, and the character build up is great, but it definitely deals with harder issues and isn’t a light read in my opinion. I do look forward to what I HOPE will be Jess and Aiden’s book, but I also am unsure whether that will eventuate and whether this book will not be followed by another in a short series.

Again P Dangelico writes a fantastic, emotional contemporary romance in Out of the Blue. If you’re looking for slightly lighter reads I would however recommend:

-wrecking ball

-bulldozer

-baby maker

-you can have Manhattan

Just to name a few!

[Review] How to Save a Life By P Dangelico

***This eARC was provided in exchange for an honest review. ***

How To Save A Life is P Dangelico’s latest standalone contemporary romance release. It follows the story between Riley James Jnr a really capable, hardworking Tom-boyish heroine and Jordan West a grumpy, highly strung IT genius hero.

This isn’t really a spoiler but is probably important upfront - this book involves a baby. If you’ve stopped reading this review beyond that last sentence, because kids in books aren’t your thing, then fair enough, but personally I think you’re really missing out on a great book!

Riley is this hardworking loyal character who works multiple jobs and supports her mum & friend. She’s almost loyal to a fault. And throughout the book there are moments you want to shake her, because you desperately want her to enjoy her own life and not take on the burden of the issues that her friend gets himself into. Ultimately I think in see how she handles those situations it builds on what a loving and selfless character she is.

Jordan is not your typical billionaire. He’s so loving but also clueless when it comes to looking after his god daughter.

I loved every one of their interactions as they broke down the wall that his character has meticulously built up.

This is almost in a way, opposites attract, but more to the point it transcends your typical contemporary billionaire/nanny/baby romance trope. P Dangelico artfully weaves a story of two selfless characters who deserve a happy ending but are pulled in all directions due to their loyalties to family/friends.

Like every P Dangelico book, I loved it so much and the journey and telltale comedy woven through her books. Definitely a must read!

Carried Away . by P. Dangelico . 🦩“I promise. I will never do anything to hurt you…”🦩 . One of the perks of reading is finding a good romance. But knowing that is a book by P. Dangelico is guarantee that the story you’re about to get lost in, is going to make you fall in love with the characters; she has a way with words that not only you can see yourself in the place she’s describing, but the emotions her stories triggers are everything you want to feel in a romance book. After being dismissed from what she thought was her dream job, Carrie finds herself going back to the only place she vowed to never return to, the place that almost broke her, and now she is working for her dad in Comfort Cottages. But she only has one goal in mind, to go back to L.A., but such is her luck that the man who she thought almost as a creature of the woods, is everything she needs to rethink about what she truly wants in life. Jake’s life hasn’t been easy, and one dreadful accident changed everything he was and after being at the top, he wants nothing to do with that life again. He wants to be away, to get lost and never be found…but the moment he saw Carrie, he knew that his life was about to change again…and maybe after all this time he might want to be found. I loved this book, Carried Away is just another winner in the romance genre; this book has the exact measure of love, lust, and drama. Get lost in Carrie and Jake’s love story, it is so worth it.

Wrecking Ball . (Hard to Love #1) . by P. Dangelico . 🦩“There are moments in life where you don’t get a do-over, where the true nature of your character is revealed...”🦩 . This book just won a new shelf in my Goodreads profile, sexy-NFL; I mean who doesn’t enjoy a story with a moody hot NFL player and a hot nanny, add some cracking moments and you’ve got yourself a new hobby on Friday nights. Camilla’s current situation is not ideal, she lost her husband three years ago and the only thing she gained from that was tears and a whole lot of problems, she was targeted for something her late husband did and she didn’t have a clue but life is like that, so when she starts looking for a job no one even dares to look her way, and then an offer is landed, to be the nanny of a boy and so she takes it; only to be confronted by NDA and a hot moody player who she thinks can manage just fine. Calvin is the hot shot right now on NFL, he plays football and that’s all he cares about, but when his nephew arrives to stay with him Calvin knows he need help to make Sam happy; and the only person that can do that is Camilla, there’s something about her that he knows is good for his nephew but is everything he can’t stand. This book deserves more than a new shelf on Goodreads, I was looking for a fresh start, and with this I got it and I loved it!!!! .

Nothing But Wild By P Dangelico - EXCERPT

Dora

“What d-do you t-think you’re doing?”

“Watching out for you.”

“Hardly, y-you’re trying to r-ruin my good time!” I shout over the music. Taking my arm, he tugs me away, off the dance floor, and leads me to the wall on the far side where it’s only slightly quieter.

Leaning a shoulder against the wall, he crosses his arms and the t-shirt he’s wearing pulls tight, showcasing the complex network of muscles and veins of his arms. Thirsty. I’m very thirsty all of a sudden.

Next, his blue gaze goes soft and sensual. If he thinks I’m going to capitulate that easily, he’s seriously delusional.

“I have a deal for you.”

Not what I was expecting but whatever. “I d-don’t n-need a deal.”

“You don’t know what the deal is. How could you know you don’t need it?”

“Because I d-don’t n-need or want anything from you.”

“Well that’s not very fair. You haven’t even heard my proposal yet. How do you know you don’t want something you don’t know?”

“You’re not going to l-leave me alone tonight, are you?”

“Not until you hear what I have to say.”

“Fine. G-G-Get on with it so I c-can get back to dancing.”

“Let me be your wingman.”

I’m speechless. For the first time in my life I am legit speechless. One minute of silence passes. Two minutes pass. “I d-don’t get it…”

“You’re giving me rides to the shelter.” He shrugs like all this makes perfect sense. “In return, I’ll be your wingman.”

“My wingman?” I repeat. I don’t know if I should laugh. I mean, he’s funny. This proposal is hilarious. The scary thing is, I think he’s serious.

“You still working on that list? How many do you have left?” I say nothing. I admit nothing. “Huh…” He studies my face. “I take it that means all of them.”

“I g-got a makeover, didn’t I? And the Ferris wheel. I got that one d-done––” I snipe defensively. Yeah, I’m losing this argument or whatever you call this, this negotiation.

Reaching out, he takes a piece of my hair and tugs. “You look beautiful,” he says without missing a beat. “I like the makeover.”

Wait…did he just throw it out there that he thinks I’m beautiful? And I’m supposed to roll with it like the plate tectonics of the planet haven’t just shifted? What kind of game is he playing?

“What kinda g-game are you playing?”

He looks momentarily confused. “No game.” He leans in for a closer look, eyes narrowed. “Are you drunk?”

“No!”

“Then I’ll repeat myself because you’re hard of hearing tonight. I wanna help you.”

“You w-want to h-help me with m-my list…are you drunk?”

“You wanna be bad, right? I know bad.” He proudly pats his chest. “I’m the king of bad. All I’m sayin’ is––that’s my department. Let me help you be bad.”

I giggle because, dear me, he is serious.

He leans in, his mouth inches from my ear, and murmurs, “Say yes, Dora. I know you want to.” The silky purr slides over my skin, pebbles my nipples, and makes me shiver. Then he looks into my eyes and smiles. And that look, that devil-may-care look, seals the deal.

What do I have to lose? Except possibly my heart. But I’ve already tried it the safe way and it hasn’t worked in my favor. That’s why I throw caution to the wind.

“Okay…you’re on.”

“Good.” He takes my wrist and leads me away again.

“W-Where are we going?”

“To dance.”

And irrepressible smile grows on my face. I. Am. In. Trouble.
