Hammer My Heart

super cute book! I loved the connection between Sam and Max. This story felt very unique and was super easy to get into.

Max and Sam are competing in a reality show. Both want and need to win. Do they follow their hearts?

Love both Sam and Max. They are both terrific characters. Love their banter. Their chemistry is amazing. Really enjoy it.

Thanks to the publisher for the arc.

What a delightful and original storyline - hard working and beautiful builder Sam and finance expert and former farm boy Max are cast against each other in the reality show Go Hard or Go Home. Both are vying to win a farmhouse that is supposed to be renovated during the show by them. Sam is a Jack of all trades and learned her skills from other father and wants a place to call her own. Max’s family lost their farmhouse and he was unable to save it and wants to win it for them.

Who will win? Can Sam and Max fight their undeniable attraction for each other and fake it for the cameras or will their true feelings come out? Can anyone believe how ridiculous the reality show host Rob is? Are Sam and Max playing the game or are they being played?

As you read this lovely story, these questions are answered in the best way with laughter and love!

Thank you to NetGalley, Michelle Angelle Books, and Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op for sharing this digital copy with me in exchange for my honest review.

This book was fantastic!! I love the fact that unlike a lot of romance books it’s not the same story and tropes just rewritten! This competition, reality tv, book was so intriguing and so incredibly hard to put down! This book is so fun and I’m obsessed with the characters. I was very thrilled about the fact that it’s very hard to predict what’s happening next in this book. This book truly was unique and unlike anything I’ve read before!

The tension and chemistry between the characters was amazing and I’m sooo in love with this book!

Review will be posted on instagram and amazon today as well!!

I always enjoy a competition based romance and this was no exception! I found it was really unique and kept me hooked. I was rooting for this couple all along and was really excited by the outcome of the story!

This was so fun to read. I enjoyed the addition of the social media comments and the outlandish challenges were a treat.
Sam and Max are polar opposites who prove the adage about attraction. I enjoyed Sam’s stylists and their book banter.
Thanks NetGalley for a fun few hours.

Hammer My Heart by Michelle Angelle is a sweet and cute read.

Sam and Max are such adorable characters who I immediately was drawn to.
The cast of characters were well-developed and relatable.
I thought this was a sharp, funny clever romance story.
Angelle's writing was on point. And they storyline kept me engaged.

Sam and Max have been selected to compete on a home improvement game show to win a Victorian farmhouse. Each has their own reasons for wanting the house, but in the mix of the competitions, being pitted against each other, and frequent dealings with the ignorant host, they find theirselves questioning if their desires to win the house is worth the sacrifice of their attraction.

Such a cute, quick, rom com book! I loved that Sam was a strong, independent, capable woman and the Max saw her completely as she was and stood up for her. He is definitely a cinnamon roll book boyfriend. I just wish there were more interactions of them together! Most of it was competing only a small amount of times when they were together and could be free to express themselves (since there are always camera crews)

A cute, fun story. Sam and Max are pitted against each other in a house renovation reality TV show, where the winner gets the house. Each wants to win for their own reasons, but as feelings start to develop between them, they will need to decide what is more important.

This is pretty much like The Block in book form, with a wholly predictable plot, and would be a nice escape from the heat of Christmas day.

Thank you to NetGalley for a copy of this book in return for my honest review.

I adored this book so much! The laugh out loud humor and the hashtag sections are a bonus to a superb plot and characters that you will love (or hate, in the case of Rob!) Do yourself a favor and read this story!!

Max and Sam are competing on a reality TV show with the prize being a house. The sparks have been flying between these two since the auditions. Both are talented individuals, so who will be the ultimate winner?

I don't usually look for reality tv stories but I didn't mind this one. Probably because it wasn't reality tv with a bunch of people back stabbing each other. This reality show has only two contestants, Sam and Max. Sam has grown up working construction and woodworking with her father and uncles. Max doesn't have the same background. The show was odd in that the challenges had little to do with construction. Rob, the host and "star" of the show is prima donna. He constantly refers to Sam as Samantha and I like the Max would call him out for it. Cute read. I will definitely read more by these authors.

Very enjoyable book! I’m not huge of reality tv storylines in books. But this one was perfect. This has a lot of laugh out loud moments that I enjoyed! I liked that the the tasks in the competition really had nothing to do with the farmhouse. Max and sams chemistry was fantastic. I would read more from this author!

Sam and Max are contestants on a reality tv show. And as they are pitted against each other, they should hate each other but instead they are attracted to each other. And as the competition heats up they must decide - follow their heart or win the farmhouse ?
Hammer my heart was a surprise read for me. Firstly the authors are totally new to me and secondly the their take on reality tv romance was very refreshing. The comments were hilarious and spot on with what we would read on social media these days.
Overall it was a fun and light hearted read with a perfect dash of romance to heat things up.
My first book by this author duo but definitely not the last.

Such a fun read.

The reality tv storyline was perfect. Truly enjoyed all challenges and the way social media was included as well. Loved the little twist at the end!

Very well done I was hooked from the start.

I am a big fan of reality series and competitions and that is why I requested this book. Enjoyed it! Team Sam or Team Max? Eh..team Sammax or Maxsam. The book is about a TV show in which an arrogant presenter presents the match and Sam(antha) and Max are fighting for a house. The book is funny and easy written and the Twitter hashtags are so funny! I loved the way Sam and Max team up…and beware it is SAM (not Samantha) haha….Very Recommended.

Thank you @netgalley and @michelleangelle for the arc in exchange for an honest review.
