NOTE: My review covers Prince Roman by CD Reiss: Sweet Rivalry by K. Bromberg & Falling Under You by Laurelin Paige

PRINCE ROMAN by CD Reiss

PRINCE ROMANCE by CD Reiss is instalment 2.5 in the author’s contemporary, adult KING OF CODE erotic, romance series. This is attorney Roman Bianchi and VP of Human Resources Raven Crosby’s story line.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Raven and Roman) follows the building relationship between attorney Roman Bianchi and VP of Human Resources Raven Crosby’. Raven Crosby left her previous employer at QI4 in the wake of a failed inter-company relationship. Newly employed at Neuronet as the VP of Human Resources Raven finds herself attracted to the new legal auditor, a man whose need for Raven is dangerous to both. When Raven offers one weekend only, our heroine struggles with wanting more in the wake of the company no-fraternization policy but all is not as it appears to be, and our heroine may pay the price for falling in love.

The world building focuses on the building but forbidden relationship between our story line couple. Raven has been there, done that, and refuses to get caught in another office romance but the heart was something more, and Roman is a man determined to prove she is worthy of love. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to several co-workers, both current and former, including Raven’s assistant Masy, former boss and ex-lover Taylor, and company co-founder Marie Siska.

PRINCE ROMAN is a story of betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, power and control,acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is engaging and entertaining; the romance is passionate; the characters are determined and desperate.

_______

SWEET RIVALRY by K. Bromberg

SWEET RIVALRY by K. Bromberg is a stand alone, adult, contemporary erotic, romance storyline. This is Ryder Rodgers and Harper Denton’s story line.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Ryder and Harper) SWEET RIVALRY is a second chance story line that follows the rekindling relationship between former college rivals-Ryder Rodgers and Harper Denton. Thirteen years earlier Ryder and Harper’s tenuous and complicated relationship was destroyed by a classroom competition that saw hour heroine moving forward without looking back. Fast forward thirteen years wherein Harper and Ryder are once again competing but in a professional capacity. What ensues is the rebuilding relationship between Harper and Ryder, and the battle to see who will come out on top.

Harper has always harbored feelings of lust and attraction for Ryder Rodgers but never expected her feelings to be reciprocated in any way. Their competitive nature finds the couple in a constant state of sexual awareness and energy even as they both struggle for the same job.

The relationship between Harper and Ryder is acrimonious. Harper’s attraction to Ryder keeps our heroine on the defensive with cutting remarks and a sharp-tongued retort at every turn. Ryder knows that the woman he lost years before is the same woman he desires when all is said and done. The $ex scenes are provocative and intense.

SWEET RIVALRY is a quick read; a novella length, stand alone second chance story line between two people whose attraction to one another has never waivered; whose need for one another will be tested during the heat of battle and competition. The premise is imaginative and stirring; the romance is fiery and spirited; the characters are passionate, colorful and energetic. SWEET RIVALRY is an engaging and hopeful tale of rivals in love and life.

FALLING UNDER YOU by Laurelin Paige

FALLING UNDER YOU (Fixed 4.5) by Laurelin Paige is an adult, contemporary, erotic romance novella. This is chief financial advisor at Pierce Industries Norma Anders, and PA Boyd Barrett’s story line. FALLING UNDER YOU runs parallel to the events in Laurelin’s FIXED series, and the FOUND DUET, and can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous series is revealed where necessary. FALLING UNDER YOU covers approximately 2-3 years in story line time.

Told from first person point of view (Norma) FALLING UNDER YOU is an erotic story line that focuses on a forbidden romance between office colleagues-a romance predicated on Domination and submission. Norma Anders is a successful business woman; a take charge CFA for Pierce Industries, and a woman who has fallen for her boss Pierce Hudson. Enter Boyd Barrett, Norma’s PA, and the man who will take charge and dominate Norma in the bedroom and in love. What ensues is a ‘secret affair’ between Norma and Boyd- a relationship that finds our heroine submitting to a man she ‘dominates’ at work.

FALLING UNDER is a story line that crosses over between Laurelin’s FIXED trilogy, and her FOUND DUET. Norma is Gwen’s sister (Found Duet), and is in desperate need of stepping back from her life. Throughout the original series the author hints at Norma’s possible relationship with Boyd, but we are never privy to the intimate details or the nature of the D/s exchange. At times, the story line advances several months in which we do not have access to the building relationship and in this I struggled with the lack of details as to their building love-for all intents and purposes, the story focused on the D/s exchange skipping most everything else in their personal lives. The premise is entertaining and provocative; the characters are captivating and charismatic; the romance is seductive, erotic and intense. If you are a fan of Paige’s FIXED TRILOGY and the FOUND DUET, FALLING UNDER YOU should not be missed.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 13, 2025

Our first meeting? He stood me up.
Our second chance encounter? I told him exactly what I thought of him.
Our third? It came with a bet (he lost) and an understanding that we’re stuck with one another.

It doesn’t matter that he’s Alexander Hardy—British soccer star extraordinaire, world-famous in every way, and a certified sex symbol. We come from two different worlds and live in two different realities. But all we need is one month.

The bet: Help him rehab his reputation to the media and the masses, and in exchange, he’ll help my soccer academy and the underprivileged kids who idolize him.

That doesn’t mean I have to like him. Not his delicious accent, his sexy smirk or those storm cloud gray eyes. Not his incredibly fit body or his sinfully dirty mouth. Not even the way he shows up day after day for the kids or the way he looks at me like he wants to devour me.

He looks at time spent in my world as a penance, while I look at it as a way to leverage his star power to help my academy survive.

But as the days turn to weeks, it seems we’re not as different as I once thought. The man who cares about no one, has fixed his sights on me. With his time at my academy up and his obligations back home calling, do we have a lucky shot of working out?

••••

REVIEW:LUCKY SHOT is the first instalment in K. Bromberg’s contemporary, adult MIAMI MAYHEM erotic, soccer romance series. This is British soccer star Alexander Hardy, and Whitney Barnes’ story line.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Hardy and Whitney) LUCKY SHOT follows the tempestuous relationship between British soccer star Alexander Hardy, and Whitney Barnes. Alexander Hardy has been ‘sent’ to America in an effort to regroup, and escape a scandal back home but his demons follow Hardy to America, as he struggles to find his place on the Miami Mayhem Soccer team. Forced to volunteer at a local soccer academy for underprivileged kids, Hardy will come face to face with academy owner Whitney Barnes. Whitney grew up in the foster care system, and without the encouragement of the soccer academy may not have survived the world in which she lived. Working side by side with Alexander Hardy, Whitney struggles to accept his help in the face of their fiery introduction at the Prestige Soccer Academy but as the days turn into weeks, Whitney allows a little bit of heart to open only to find herself pulling back all the time. Hardy’s time in America comes with an expiry date, and Whitney, once again struggles with another perceived betrayal.

The world building follows the back and forth, emotional and heated relationship between Whitney and Hardy. Upon their first introduction Hardy disappointed everyone involved, hating his circumstance and taking it out on our story line heroine. Battling his own demons, Hardy struggled with his ‘punishment’, a punishment that brought him face to face with a woman battling demons of her own. Whitney is a stubborn, secretive, struggling, self conscious, proud yet often ungrateful, and untrusting heroine whose life experiences have left her bitter and lost. Her pride is her downfall, as she is suspicious of everyone including the man with whom she is falling in love-not an easy heroine to like.

The relationship between Whitney and Hardy begins acrimoniously as Hardy is a disappointing mentor and representative of the game of soccer. Whitney battles between head and heart, refusing any and all help, including help when it comes to her own safety and health. Days turn into weeks, and just as you think all is going well, something else pulls Whitney back into the past, as she refuses to accept Hardy going forward. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

The secondary and supporting characters are colorful and energetic. We are introduced to soccer team owner Rush Mackenzie, Agent Lennox Mackenzie, PR rep Ari Winters; original academy owner and mentor Coach Patrick Dunn; Whitney’s best friend Suri, as well as several underprivileged children and teens.

LUCKY SHOT is a story of secrets and lies, power and control, disappointment and dysfunction, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is heart breaking and captivating; the romance struggles in the face of skepticism and uncertainty; the characters are a little bit broken and dynamic.

They thought they’d managed to get rid of me once and for all. They thought I’d just forget what they did to my brother.

But I’m going to make sure that they never forget.

If only I can stop thinking about her.

Rowan

REVIEW:TWISTED KNIGHT is the first instalment in K. Bromberg’s contemporary adult TANGLED HEARTS dark, erotic, romance series. This is thirty-two year old, billionaire businessman Holden Knight, and heiress Rowan Rothschild’s story line.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Holden and Rowan) TWISTED KNIGHT follows in the aftermath of the hostile takeover of TinSpirits, the Rothschild family owned business. In the wake of her grandmother’s death, Rowan finds herself pushed to the side, as her brother slowly destroys the family business but selling to billionaire Holden Knight was something she never expected, a sale of which she never approved. Holden Knight is determined to destroy the Rothschild empire, starting with the woman with whom he is falling in love. Fifteen years earlier Holden’s life imploded, and a need for revenge is pushing our hero to destroy take down everyone involved.

The world building focuses on Holden’s long term plans for revenge; a need to take down the Rothschild empire but he never expected for fall for Rowan herself.Rowan struggles with her attraction to the man taking apart her family legacy but all is not well with the people in charge.

The relationship between Rowan and Holden is acrimonious at best. An enemies to lovers in which Holden and Rowan’s tempestuous back and forth is fraught with sexual frustration and palpable sexual attraction. Holden’s slow seduction of our story line heroine may be the catalyst that pushes Rowan over the edge. The $ex scenes are impassioned and intense.

We are introduced to Holden’s assistant Audrey; Rowan’s brother Rhett, and his best friend Chad.

TWISTED KNIGHT is a story of secrets and lies, power and control, vengeance, family and obsession. The premise is dramatic, dark, and gritty; the romance is gritty and heart breaking; the characters are determined and charismatic. TWISTED KNIGHT ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 22, 2024

Every story needs a villain.
The arrogance. The conceit. The lone wolf.
Oliver Rossi is that person on the track.
And leave it to me . . . I’ve gone and fallen for him.

Rossi is his own worst enemy. He doesn’t care what people think or what’s expected of him. And he’s reached the pinnacle of his sport because of his bad boy ways.

He’s unpredictable and reckless on the track. He’s even worse off of it. After years of circling around each other, all it took was one night, one uncharacteristic act of chivalry, to know I wanted more with the man everyone hates.

Forget the warnings from my brother about his new teammate and the fallout from my family—he’s worth the risk.

With his job on the line and eyes always on us, secret trysts are all we allow ourselves.

It’s all fun and games until lust turns to love and for now begins to feel like not enough.

I want it all.
I want forever.
And I want it with Oliver Rossi.

But is Rossi willing to show the world he’s ready to move past his villain era so we can have our own happily ever after or will this whole thing spin out of control?

••••

REVIEW: OUT OF CONTROL is the fourth instalment in K. Bromberg’s contemporary, adult FULL THROTTLE erotic, romance series focusing on Formula 1 drivers. This is driver Oliver Rossi, and Sofia Navarro’s story line. OUT OF CONTROL can be read as a stand alone but for back story I recommend reading the series in order for back story and cohesion as there is a continuing premise throughout. Sofia is the sister of Formula 1 driver Cruz Navarro ON THE EDGE #2.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Sofia and Oliver) OUT OF CONTROL follows the forbidden relationship between our story line couple. Oliver Rossi is the embattled new member of the Gravitas F1 team, a driver with a reputation as difficult and dangerous but a man whose entire life he has struggled to prove he is worthy. Having fallen for his teammate’s sister Sofia Navarro, Oliver finds himself Sofia’s dirty little secret, hidden behind the forbidden barrier, not worthy of a woman above his reputation, but a woman whose back and forth threatens Oliver’s already fragile ego. What ensues is the building but tempestuous relationship between Oliver and Sofia, and the potential fall-out as Sofia battles between head and heart, as her own personal life conflicts with the family’s path.

The world building follows several direction including Sofia’s need to forge a path on her own. As an artist, Sofia’s work is rejected by the family, a family who has placed all of their hopes of the prodigal son, leaving a disheartened and heart broken Sofia behind. Meanwhile, Oliver’s ongoing struggles with acceptance are exacerbated by Sofia’s need to keep their relationship a secret, forcing Oliver to walk away with another bruised ego.

The relationship between Oliver and Sofia is a forbidden romance. Oliver Rossi is persona non grata in the world of Formula 1, and even his own teammates struggle to accept our hero as one of their own. Oliver wants to be number one but all eyes are on Sofia’s brother Cruz, pushing Oliver to number two in more ways than one. Falling for Sofia meant betraying his teammates demands but Oliver never expected to fall in love with someone who is struggling for her own acceptance. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate but I am not a fan of use of a certain four-letter word, although only used once, more for shock than anything else.

Once again, we are reintroduced to the previous story line couples including Cruz and Maddix, Lachlan and Blair, Spencer Riggs, as well as team owner Atlas Stavros, Oliver’s parents, and Sofia’s controlling grandfather aka el patriarca.

OUT OF CONTROL is a story of family and secrets, power and control, acceptance and love. The premise is thought provoking and animated; the romance is real; the characters are stubborn and determined.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 13, 2024

You don’t mess around with a teammate’s ex. Ever. But that’s easier said than done when it comes to Blair Carmichael. She’s sexy, intelligent, gorgeous, and one hundred percent off-limits.

And I’ve never fallen harder.

But I can’t touch (when I most definitely want to).

My team’s success and my chance at a new contract for next season depend on me keeping my hands on the wheel. And off her curves.

As the season progresses, we secretly steal as much time as we can together—in hotel rooms, after races, anywhere we can’t be found out. A real romance out in the open would risk her job in the industry, her reputation, and my image–not to mention my strained relationship with my teammate.

I’ve lived my whole life with one mantra. Team first. What I want outside of my racing career hasn’t factored in.

Until now.
Until Blair.

She deserves the world and I plan on giving it to her. Even if I have to walk away from the biggest contract of my career.

•••••••••

REVIEW: OVER THE LIMIT is the third instalment in K. Bromberg’s contemporary adult FULL THROTTLE erotic, romance series focusing on Formula One racers. This is driver Lachlan Evans,and Apex Racing PR rep Blair Carmichael’s story line. OVER THE LIMIT can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Lachlan and Blair) OVER THE LIMIT follows the building romance and relationship between our story line couple. Blair Carmichael has been offered the opportunity of a lifetime with Apex Racing but her current relationship with race car driver Oliver Rossi is spiralling out of control. Meeting fellow Apex Formula 1 driver Lachlan Evans stirs something deep within our story line heroine, something she has never felt with Rossi, and in the end, Rossi’s behavior and attitude are too much for Blair to control. Forced to keep their building relationship a secret, Lachlan and Blair tread a fine line as others work behind the scenes to against our story line couple.

The world building looks at the Formula1 competitive nature of the drivers, even the competition between teammates. As each member of the team ‘fights’ for position, there is always someone else offering something bigger, something more.

The relationship between Lachlan and Blair is one of the forbidden. Rival teammates vie for the affection of our story line heroine but Lachlan is the sole owner of our heroine’s heart. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text.

The secondary and supporting characters include Lachlan’s father Erik Evans, Blair’s parents, fellow racer Oliver Rossi, Cruz Navarro, and Spencer Riggs. Oliver’s story line is next.

OVER THE LIMIT is a story of perceived betrayal and vengeance; secrets and lies, family and friendships, relationships and love. The premise is exciting and engaging; the romance is seductive and provocative ; the characters are determined and dynamic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 18, 2024

Surely this can’t be the only solution to overhaul my tarnished rep – faking a romance with the good girl intern?

But that’s what my agent says. Just a few months of taming my ways—of shedding Formula 1’s party boy image—will land me a lifetime branding deal. One I desperately need.

The key condition?

Pretend I’m madly in love with my new girlfriend. The quiet wallflower who I figured wouldn’t put me in my place. Yeah. This girl is anything but that.

Maddix Hart is defiant and intelligent. Loyal and real. Determined and sexy. And damn it to hell, before I know it, she’s in my head, in our bed . . . and if I’m not careful, she’ll see there’s more to me than the man I show the public. She’ll discover the man I hide from the world. The one who struggles to live up to the unrealistic expectations that should never have been mine.

All I have to do is make sure no one sees the truth behind our farce.

But instead, I let my heart get involved. I begin to believe the lie. And now with everything on the line—the deal, a championship, us—am I willing to risk it all to make her see what the rest of the world believes? That we belong together.

•••••

REVIEW: ON THE EDGE is the second instalment in K. Bromberg’s contemporary, adult FULL THROTTLE erotic, romance series focusing on Formula 1 drivers. This is twenty-six year old, Formula 1 driver Cruz Navarro, and twenty-four year old, PR intern Maddix Hart’s story line. ON THE EDGE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Cruz and Maddix) ON THE EDGE follows the fake romance and relationship between our story line couple. Cruz Navarro’s reputation of the track is questionable at best but hours before signing a billion dollar contract, Cruz’ finds himself the topic of headline gossip, as his struggling reputation hits an all-time low. In an effort to change his public persona, Cruz is forced into a fake relationship with a woman he doesn’t know. Enter Maddix Hart. Maddix is an intern with the company that was supposed to be working with our story line hero but Maddix will quickly discover her latest assignment will be an emotional roller coaster and break her heart. What ensues is the building relationship between Cruz and Maddix, and the potential fall-out as Cruz is unable to let do the demons from his past, pushing our heroine out of his life and out of his heart.

The world building follows Cruz and Maddix as the journey around the world for Cruz’ F1 racing season. We are up close and personal with the dysfunctional family dynamics that is the Navarro family, and the resulting painful altercations with the people who should have loved Cruz the most. Maddix Hart will become the target of gossip and paparazzi but the hurt inflicted upon Cruz is about to destroy the relationship they were starting to build. Issues of trust and abandonment are the tipping point of no return.

The relationship between Cruz and Maddix begins as a fake relationship in an effort to clean up Cruz’ tattered reputation. Maddix knows her time with Cruz comes with an expiry date but she never expected to find herself pushed away with a broken heart. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of energetic, colorful and often questionable secondary and supporting characters. We are introduced to Cruz’ embattled parents Dominic and Genevieve Navarro, his sister Sofia, as well as fellow racers Lachlan Evans, Oliver Rossi, and the return of Spencer Riggs.

ON THE EDGE is a story of power and control, obsession, enthusiasm, and fixation, mistrust and forgiveness, family, friendships, acceptance and love. The premise is captivating and exciting; the romance is seductive and enticing; the characters are determined, charismatic and compelling but it took me a while to like our story line heroine-she knew her assignment but struggled to accept the parameters in the beginning.

But I might throw it all away for her.

•••••

REVIEW:OFF THE GRID is the first instalment in K. Bromberg’s contemporary, adult FULL THROTTLE erotic, Formula 1, romance series. This is twenty six year old race driver Spencer Riggs, and twenty-five year old, PR consultant Camilla Moretti’s story line.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise with talk of a previous sexual assault, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Spencer and Camilla) OFF THE GRID follows the building romance and relationship between Spencer and Camilla. Camilla Moretti works for the family owner Moretti Olive Oil company in Europe but her father’s deteriorating health finds Camilla returning to England to take the reins of Moretti Motorsports, a position for which she is totally unprepared. A racing accident for one of Moretti Motorsports Formula 1 driver, offers Spencer Riggs a position on the team but Spencer’s penchant for trouble both on and off the track, precedes his introduction to the Moretti Motorsports Team, and a questionable first contact with our story line heroine forces Spencers to reconsider his options going forward. As Spencer prepares for the upcoming Formula 1 season, a three strike rule is quickly pushing Spencer in another direction. What ensues is the forbidden but building romance and relationship between Spencer and Camilla, and the potential fall-out as Camilla’s past continues to control her present, and Spencer’s need to protect our heroine, threatens his career in the blink of an eye.

The world building focuses on the Formula 1 driving circuit: the drivers, the positions, the wins and the losses. Camilla Moretti and Spencer Riggs are both legacy members of the Formula 1 world, the next generation of drivers and owners in a sport that is both dangerous and fast. As Camilla Moretti continues to struggles with issues of trust and past betrayals, Spencer is determined to win, even if it costs the woman he loves.

The relationship between Spencer and Camilla begins acrimoniously; a dare by Spencer’s fellow drivers that forces Camilla’s demons to the surface, threatening every aspect of her life going forward. Spencer will quickly learn that the woman he hurt is about to control his professional life but ghosts from the past continue to control our story line couple. The $ex scenes are passionate and intimate.

We are introduced to Camilla’s parents, Spencer’s mother, as well as several Formula 1 drivers on the racing circuit.

OFF THE GRID is a story of power and control, betrayal and abuse, illness and acceptance, loss, love and forgiveness. The premise is intriguing, captivating and compelling; the romance is seductive; the characters are a little bit broken but energetic and determined.

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.
