REVIEW:  SWEET REGRET by K.Bromberg is a stand alone, contemporary, adult, erotic, rock star romance story line focusing on thirty year old, rock star Vince Jennings, and twenty-nine year old, PR assistant Bristol Matthews. SWEET REGRET is set in the author’s DRIVEN world, with the appearance of Vince’s band Bent, first introduced in SWEET ACHE (January 2015)

Told from dual first person perspectives (Vince and Bristol) SWEET REGRET focuses on the second chance relationship between rock star Vince Jennings and Bristol Matthews. Approximately eleven years earlier Vince Jennings walked away from the girl that he loved in search of some stability and peace having endure years of abuse at the hands of his father. Four years later, our couple would reconnect following a Bent concert, a reconnection that was about to change Bristol’s life forever. Fast forward to present day, Bristol, now working as a PA for McMann Media Management, a public relations firm, is assigned rock star Vince Jennings, the man who broke our heroine’s heart. Vince, in all of his rock star glory, is struggling. On hiatus from the band, Vince is attempting a solo career, a career he is hoping to push to the top with the help of McMann Media Management but Vince never expected to come face to face with the woman he loves, a woman who wants nothing to do with our story line hero. What ensues is the rebuilding but acrimonious relationship between Vince and Bristol, and the potential fall-out when Vince discovers the truth behind Bristol’s unwelcome and bitter refusal to work our story line hero.

Vince Jennings never knew his mother, and endured years of physical and emotional abuse at the hands of his father. Having to break his promise to Bristol, Vince ran without looking back, a run that would place him at the top of the rock and roll world. Vince didn’t do relationships and declared he never wanted children, and in this, broke every woman’s heart including the one woman who knew everything about our story line hero. Bristol Matthews’ heart was destroyed the day her neighbor and boyfriend walked away, promising to call whenever he could. The calls never came, four years would pass, and Bristol would reconnect with the man she still loved but a one night stand ended with Vince running again, a one night stand that would change Bristol’s life forever. As her career plans stalled, her parents’ marriage imploded and her heart torn into a million pieces, Bristol would direct her love towards someone else.

The relationship between Vince and Bristol is one of second chances; an emotional reconnecting with too many memories, too many secrets, and a difficulty history of running when the world began to overwhelm. History was about to repeat when Bristol’s secrets sends Vince into another spiral, secrets that Vince pushes our hero to lash out at the woman he loves. The $ex scenes are passionate and seductive.

The secondary and supporting characters include the members of the rock band Bent: Gizmo, Rocket, and Hawkin Play (Sweet Ache). Hawkin will become Vince’s support team and lifeline when our hero continues to spiral, causing another paparazzi nightmare. We are introduced to Bristol’s mother, her boss Xavier McMann, as well as Jagger Enzo Matthews.

SWEET REGRET is a story of secrets, regret, second chances, forgiveness and love. The premise is emotional and passionate; the characters are broken, desperate and determined; the romance is provocative and intense.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 1, 2023

I sit on a throne of sins.
Silent in the shadows, untouchable like the King of the Underworld himself.
Few even know the sound of my voice, but those who fear me call me Monster. My men just call me Pakhan.
To her, I am Nikolai.
Her savior. Her captor. Her lover.
With hair as bright as the sun, a face that could sink a thousand ships, and more curves than I can handle, Cassiopeia. Is. Everything.
But she’s in danger.
And safety comes with a price tag.
She can fight that, can even fight me, but I’m her Hades and I won’t let my Persephone go…

REVIEW: SILENCED is the first instalment in Serena Akeroyd’s contemporary, adult THE FORGOTTEN BOYS dark, erotic, Bratva romance series set in the author’s Five Points Mob Universe. This is American Bratva Pakhan Nikolai Veles, and blogger Cassiopeia ‘Cassie’ Trundel’s story line. Cassiopeia is first introduced in FILTHY KING (Five Points Mob #7).

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspective (Cassiopeia and Nikolai) with a chapter by Mischa, SILENCED follows in the wake of the rescue of our story line heroine. Nikolai Veles has been tasked with locating Cassiopeia Trundel but Nikolai never expected to find her bound, gagged and drugged, a potential prisoner of the Albanian Mob. Cassiopeia’s ex husband stole something for which he offered up his ex-wife as payment, a young woman who is struggling to survive. Upon the rescue, Nikolai Veles claims Cassiopeia as his own but not before making our heroine a virtual prisoner but a prisoner in a gilded cage. As Nikolai searches for the people responsible for hurting the woman with whom he is falling in love, someone else is targeting our story line couple. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Cassiopeia and Nikolai, and the potential fall-out as a trip to Russia incites a struggle for power and revenge back home.

Cassiopeia Trundel has been used and abused, and she has become a pawn in her ex-husband’s payment for a debt but Cassie struggles with Nikolai’s need to claim, a claim that Cassie sees as going from the proverbial frying pan into the fire. Nikolai Veles is a the Miami Pakhan, a selective mute who doesn’t talk but lets his power do the talking for him. Falling for Cassiopeia is easy, keeping her safe means taking down the people who have threatened her life.

The relationship between Cassie and Nikolai begins as a rescue. Cassie has been sold as payment for a debt but her life with her husband had never been easy. Nikolai doesn’t do relationships but something about Cassie calls Nikolai like a moth to a flame, a flame he is willing to suffer the burns. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative but I dislike the use of a certain four-letter word, used twenty three times in my romance story lines.

The colorful and dynamic secondary and supporting characters include Nikolai’s ‘brothers in arms’ Misha and Maxim, his ‘son’ Dmitri; Cassie’s mother Dema Turgenev, as well as several members of the US and Russian Bratva-Igor, Boris, Grigoriy, local businessmen and women who work for and under the Pakhan’s rule. We are reintroduced to Aiden and Savannah O’Donnelly (FILTHY KING). Dmitri and Sofia’s story line is next.

SILENCED is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, abuse and murder, acceptance and love. The premise is detailed, engaging and captivating; the romance is seductive and passionate; the characters are powerful and determined.
