ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 27, 2022.

The requirement is ridiculous but simple. Spend two months in Cedar Falls and play the mayor’s games to ensure that The Retreat, Sharpe International’s newest resort, can open.

But I have a history with this small, Montana town. One I’d tried to forget but never could. Asher Wells. My Lavender Girl.

She’d had dreams and aspirations to leave Cedar Falls and make her mark on the world. So why is she still here, standing in front of me? And more importantly, why is she looking at me with hurt in her eyes when I was the one who‘d been forced to leave or else face the damning consequences of that night?

I have everything in life: money, success, an empire to run . . . everything except for one, very important thing. Her.

Fifteen years is a long time to wonder. . . what if. I’ll be damned if I leave town this time without her.

REVIEW:ON ONE CONDITION is the second instalment in K. Bromberg’s contemporary, adult S.IN. erotic, romance series focusing on the Sharpe Triplets-Callahan, Ford and Ledger. This is billionaire businessman Ledger Sharpe, and thirty-two year old Lavender farmer Asher Wells’ story line. ON ONE CONDITION 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 (Asher and Ledger) ON ONE CONDITION follows the second chance romance and relationship between is billionaire businessman Ledger Sharpe, and thirty-two year old Lavender farmer Asher Wells. Fifteen years earlier, Ledger Sharpe and Asher Wells had their whole lives ahead of them. Ledger and his family would spend the summers in Cedar Falls, where he met and fell in love with local girl Asher Wells but their last summer together ended in heart break for both, and neither one could forgive or forget what happened or why. Fast forward to present day and Sharpe International International Network is building a resort in Cedar Falls, Montana, a resort that has the town divided. Reconnecting with Ledger Sharpe brings with it too many heart breaking memories from the past, a past mired in secrets and lies for our story line couple. What ensues is the rebuilding romance and relationship between Asher and Ledger, and the potential fall-out as Asher continues to struggle in the wake of love and loss, as the truth threatens to destroy our story line hero.

Asher Wells lost her heart the day she was pushed to the side, believing she wasn’t worthy of the man that she loved. Ledger Sharpe’s life wasn’t easy in the shadow of his powerful father, a father who controlled every aspect of his sons’ lives, down to their future and the woman Ledger had loved.

The relationship between Ledger and Asher is one of second chances but the small town of Cedar Falls doesn’t forget, and in this, Asher’s life has been difficult and hard. Ledger remembers the young woman who had stolen his heart, never realizing the hurt and pain inflicted by someone else. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are reintroduced to Ledger’s brothers Callahan and Ford, as well as Ledger’s assistant a Hillary; Asher’s best friend Nita, and Cedar Falls’ Mayor Grossman.

ON ONE CONDITION is a story of second chances; a rekindling romance once destroyed by power and control, secrets and lies, family and love. The premise is captivating and emotional; the romance is seductive; the characters are charismatic and energetic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 29, 2022

I was never supposed to see him again. Him being the man wearing the perfectly tailored suit who oozed an intoxicating mixture of wealth, rebellion, and sex appeal.

One night.
No strings.
No names.
Great sex.

Still riding the high from last night, I walk in to meet my new client, and he’s wearing that same dangerous smirk that reeled me in hours ago.

Yes, I’m consulting for Callahan Sharpe. And yes, he’s that Callahan Sharpe.

Billionaire heir apparent who abides by no rules, bucks convention, and is determined to complete one final project to honor his late father’s legacy before walking away from the family business for good. Luckily and unluckily for me, I’ve been tasked to go to the Virgin Islands to help accomplish his goal. Callahan has no problem breaking his company’s no fraternization rule, but not me. There’s too much at stake.

What could possibly go wrong when you’re forced to work—and live—side by side with a man you can’t resist?

Are you ready to fall for the Sharpe brothers in K. Bromberg’s sexy, contemporary, billionaire romance series? These books can all be read as standalones, but can be enjoyed as a series as well . . .

•••••

REVIEW:  LAST RESORT is the first instalment in K. Bromberg’s contemporary, adult S.I.N. erotic, romance trilogy focusing on the Sharpe triplets: Callahan, Fordham, and Ledger Sharpe, owners of Sharpe International Network aka S.I.N. This is billionaire resort owner Callahan Sharpe, and resort consultant Sutton Pierce’s story line.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Callahan and Sutton) LAST RESORT follows in the wake of a one-night stand between Callahan Sharpe, and consultant Sutton Pierce. Sutton Pierce dumped her controlling boyfriend of two years, and immediately rebounded with a man she knew nothing about. Contracted as the new resort consultant to S.I.N. industries, Sutton comes face to face with her new boss, her one night stand in the guise of a triplet, none of whom is admitting to knowing our story line heroine. Working together on the refurbishment of S.I.N. owned Ocean’s Edge Resort in the Virgin Islands, Sutton tries desperately to ignore the palpable sexual attraction to Callahan Sharpe, a man whose demons are heart breaking and dark. What ensues is the acrimonious but building romance and relationship between Callahan and Sutton, and the potential fall-out as their time together comes to an end.

Callahan Sharpe is the black sheep; the youngest of three brothers considered to be a failure, a screw-up, and a spoiled young man. Upon the death of their father, the Sharpe triplets inherited the Sharpe International Network but not before a questionable business deal all but broke the siblings apart. With Callahan at the helm of Ocean’s Edge, the other Sharpe brothers fear disaster and ruin but working alongside Sutton Pierce, proves Callahan is worthy of the title of boss. Sutton Pierce knows that to get involved with Callahan Sharpe could be the ruin of her career but our heroine is a worthy adversary, capable of bringing Ocean’s Edge Resort back to her former glory.

The relationship between Callahan and Sutton begins as a one-night stand that quickly turns into something more. Hired to consult on the Ocean’s Edge Resort improvements and employee contracts, Sutton finds herself falling for a broken man who struggles with grief, blame, loss and regret. As Sutton battles between head and heart, Callahan knows that Sutton is the woman that controls his soul. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate but I dislike the use of a certain four-letter word, used only once, more for shock value than anything else.

We are introduced to Callahans’s brother Fordham and Ledger; resort manager Brady; bartender Keone; Resort Transition Consultants owner Roz; and Sutton’s best friend Lizzy.

LAST RESORT is a story of family and loss, friendships and grief, acceptance and understanding, love and happily ever after. The character driven premise is emotional, entertaining and inviting; the characters are broken, intelligent, wounded and spirited; the romance is seductive and provocative.

Hard To Love (Play Hard 5) by K. Bromberg-Review Tour

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO / Chapters Indigo / Google Play / Apple /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 7, 2021.

He was the one-night stand that didn’t exactly go as planned. Now he’s standing before me as if he’s never seen me naked, telling my manager he’ll take the job. Reluctantly.

Finn Sanderson.

Sports agent extraordinaire. Handsome as hell. The man who just signed on to control my every move.

Sure, I’m to blame for my recent bad press, but when your whole life has been so regimented, isn’t it normal to want to live it up a little?

But when the partying stops and the grief I’m running from has nowhere else to hide, reality sets in. Turns out, Finn’s the only person I have left to help pick up the pieces. The only person to call.

Staying with him is a temporary thing. But when our fighting turns into laughter and our friendship turns into something more, will I fight for a man who swears he’s hard to love? Or is it wiser to walk away? To follow the plan?

* * *
Offering to help with a client is a way to repay a long overdue IOU to my mentor. Little did I know she was the woman who left my hotel room at four in the morning.

Stevie Lancaster.

Top-seeded US tennis player. Good girl gone bad. The woman currently about to throw her career away. And now my problem.

The compensation to “babysit” her is great, but she isn’t worth my trouble.

But when her world falls apart and she has no one else to turn to, I try to be a good guy by gathering her up and hiding her from the media’s eye.

Now she’s in my house, in my space, and even though I’m enjoying the side benefits of this unexpected arrangement, surely she’s better to leave when the time comes and follow her destiny. Because I’m not the man she needs. Not the man she could love. Right?

•••••••

REVIEW:HARD TO LOVE is the fifth instalment in K. Bromberg’s contemporary, adult PLAY HARD erotic, romance series. This is publicist/agent Finn Sanderson, and twenty-five year old, tennis superstar Stevie Lancaster. HARD TO LOVE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. Finn Sanderson’s story line has been building throughout the series.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Finn and Stevie) HARD TO LOVE follows the building but acrimonious relationship between is publicist/agent Finn Sanderson, and twenty-five year old, tennis superstar Stevie Lancaster. In the few months since the death of her beloved father and coach, Stevie Lancaster’s life is rapidly spiralling out of control. Having never experienced the highs and lows of the average teenager, Stevie is making up for lost time, and with it, sabotaging her career and the people within. Enter sports agent/ publicist Finn Sanderson, and the man with whom Stevie will fall in love. What ensues is both the personal and professional relationship between Stevie and Finn, and the potential fall-out as their time together comes to a close.

The US Open is only weeks away, and Stevie is not ready. Pushed by her friends to try several things out of her comfort zone, Stevie zeroes in on Finn Sanderson, not knowing, her agent has hired Finn to force Stevie back under control. An almost one-night stand turns into an all –out war, a war in which Stevie’s career is on the line. Finn Sanderson never wanted to represent our leading heroine but a desperate plea from his mentor and friend meant Finn had to try but falling for Stevie was never going to happen. Stevie is a bit of a train wreck; immature, belligerent and refusing to tow the proverbial line.

The relationship between Stevie and Finn is tempestuous at best. Stevie wants nothing to do with Finn, or having to reign in her behaviour but Stevie’s new found reputation is threatening her sponsorships as well as her future in tennis, and our heroine refuses to see the long-term effects of her current actions. Finn, never wanted to fall for his client, found himself walking away, when the paparazzi begins to circle, threatening all of the hard work Finn has had to do. Finn is forced to play the bad guy as Stevie continues to spiral out of control. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to Stevie’s BFFs Vivi and Jordan, two young woman who want to make sure Stevie enjoys the highs of life; Stevie’s current agent Carson Vega, as well as the cameo appearances/mentions of Chase Kincade (Hard to Lose 4).

HARD TO LOVE is a story of grief and loss; friendships and relationships; understanding, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is fast paced, lively and thought provoking; the romance is captivating; the characters are strong-willed, and somewhat tragic-although Stevie had recently lost her father, the fall-out was about to threaten everything for which he worked and sacrificed as Stevie refused to get her life under control. There comes a time when everyone must grow up, and the time has come for Stevie Lancaster.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 30, 2021

I know finding and signing a military vet to the agency is a long shot–but it’ll be good press just letting him try out. That’s what I tell my family, rather than admit I can’t get the letter he wrote us five years ago out of my head.

But what I tell the bartender in his hometown is a lie. I know veterans protect each other. So I pretend to be a graduate student.

Sparks. Flame. Fire. I accidentally got in too deep.

I didn’t expect to develop feelings for Gunner Camden.

And there’s no way I can admit to my lies now, not without destroying what we share. So I’ll keep faking it.

***

There are two versions of me: before, and after deployment.

Back then I was a screwup kid. I’d lie, cheat, and steal my way out of everything. My only love was baseball.

After I started fighting, I found out there had been another path for me. One that involved my dream. But by then I had seen too much.

The old me was dead, so I put my dreams to rest, too.

Then Chase Kinkade walks into my bar and reminds me that life is meant to live. No regrets.

Fresh. Happy. Hopeful. I can start to see a new dream, with her.

But sometimes things are too good to be true… and dishonesty is the one thing I can’t forgive.

REVIEW:HARD TO LOSE is the fourth instalment in K. Bromberg’s contemporary, adult PLAY HARD erotic, romance series focusing on the Kincade sisters who work for the family owned Kincade Sports Management (KSM). This is youngest sister Chase Kincade, and US Army Vet/bar owner Ryan ‘Gunner’ Camden’s story line. HARD TO LOSE 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 (Ryan and Chase) HARD TO LOSE follows the building romance and relationship between Chase Kincade, and US Army Vet/bar owner Ryan ‘Gunner’ Camden. Several years earlier Ryan Camden had a promising baseball career but a night of drinking influenced by a need for revenge found Ryan enlisting in the US army where his life would be forever changed. Fast forward to present day wherein Ryan, now a bar owner in the small town of Destiny Falls, a town that caters to military families and retired vets, comes face to face with the woman that will break his heart. Enter Chase Kincade. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Chase and Ryan, and the potential fall-out as Ryan discovers that Chase’s visit to Destiny Falls was all a ruse.

Chase Kincade needed something to push KSM over the top. A letter arrived, five years too late, but a letter that pulled our heroine to look for the sender, a young man whose baseball career ended before it began. Only know a name and a destination, Chase heads to Destiny Falls where she will fall in love with a hero, who continues to pay for sins of the past.

The relationship between Chase and Gunner is predicated upon a lie. Chase is in Destiny Falls looking for a soldier whose chance at fame ended when duty called. Meeting Gunner gave Chase thoughts for a future but Chase knew her time in the small town would end when her mission was complete. Gunner never expected to fall in love but falling for Chase was easy as ‘apple pie’ 😉 but secrets revealed meant everything about his relationship with Chase was nothing more than a lie. 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 Chase’s sisters Dekker, Brexton and Lennox, as well as their father Kenyon Kincade; sports agent Finn Sanderson; army veteran Richard aka ‘Nix’. We get a quick glimpse at Ryan’s long suffering mother, and a step-father whose out to destroy the son he never wanted. Finn Sanderson’s story is next in HARD TO LOVE.

HARD TO LOSE is a story of family, friendships, betrayal and loss. A story of grief and suffering, love and understanding, forgiveness and happily ever after. The premise is emotional and heart breaking; the romance is provocative and captivating; the characters are broken, colorful, healing and lost.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 16, 2021

I’ve signed numerous players to my family’s agency—I assumed winning over my next client would be just as easy.

The last thing I expected was to run into the boy who took my first kiss and broke my heart: only now Drew Bowman is all grown up.

Sexy. Scandal-tainted. Second-string. The crush I never got over.

I tell myself work is the reason I can’t get him out of my head. I tell him his talent far outweighs his position, and I know I can help. I lie and lie, because admitting that I want a second chance at my first love is impossible.

Some lines cannot be crossed, and ours was drawn in the sand years ago.

***
I’m supposed to hate her.

I’ve been told so time and again for ten years – her father ruined our family, smeared my name before my career even began.

But that’s not what I’m feeling now.

Brexton Kincade just strode out of my memories and onto my field.

Driven. Determined. Grown up. The Capulet to my Montague.

Being with her would be an unforgivable sin against my father, but I can’t resist the pull between us. Even if it means hiding what we have. Even if it means confronting the secrets I’ve always feared were lies.

•••••••

REVIEW:HARD TO SCORE is the third instalment in K. Bromberg’s contemporary, adult PLAY HARD erotic, romance series focusing on the Kincade sisters who work for the family owned Kincade Sports Management (KSM). This is twenty-six year old, sports agent Brexton Kincade, and second string, professional quarterback Drew Bowman. HARD TO SCORE 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 (Drew and Brexton) using present day and memories from the past, HARD TO SCORE follows the rekindling friendship, relationship and love between twenty-six year old sports agent Brexton Kincade, and quarterback Drew Bowman. For years the Kincades and Bowmans were best friends, two families who did everything together but approximately ten years earlier a scandal destroyed the football career of Drew Bowman’s father Gary, and in the ensuing years, our hero was led to believe it was all Kenyon Kincade’s fault. With the reappearance of Brexton Kincade, Drew Bowman struggles with the memories of the woman he once loved, and the betrayal he believes that destroyed his father’s career and the family dynamic. As Drew navigates a floundering career tainted by the actions of his once-beloved father, Brexton struggles knowing that whatever happened is affecting her relationship with the man that owns her heart. What ensues is the rebuilding friendship and relationship between Drew and Brexton, and the potential fall-out as Drew must come to terms with what happened and why.

Meanwhile, Brexton is tasked by Justin Hobbs to broker a trade, a first string quarterback she doesn’t represent but a man who is desperate to move to the west coast. As Brexton battles between head and heart, Justin begins to flounder on the field, and pushing all of our heroine’s buttons, off the field.

The relationship between Drew and Brexton is one of second chances. Childhood friends torn apart by secrets and lies, Drew and Brexton’s journey to rekindle their relationship is threatened by the sins of the father, and the humiliation that ensued. When the truth is revealed, our hero is devastated realizing he had lost so many years with the woman he loved. The $ex scenes are intimate, passionate and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text-there is definitely a palpable sexual energy.

The secondary and supporting characters include Brexton’s sisters Dekker, Chase and Lennox, as well as their father Kenyon Kincade; Drew’s parents, sister Maggie and her daughter Charley; quarterback Justin Hobbs; and sports agent Finn Sanderson.

HARD TO SCORE is a story of betrayal, secret and lies; desperation and humiliation; second chances, relationships, family and love. The premise is wonderful, captivating and heart breaking; the romance is seductive and passionate; the characters are animated and charismatic.

THE DETOUR by K. Bromberg

Release Date: January 1, 2021

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Bestselling author, Harley Humbug, needs an escape.
From the current state of her own love life.
From her deadline she blew past weeks ago.
From Christmas that’s just around the corner and the bad luck it usually brings with it.

When a snowstorm causes a road closure, she chalks it up to one more thing to go wrong.
Little does she know the detour will take her to a town she never knew existed, and right into the path—and possible arms—of a man who might just be her real-life muse.

______

REVIEW: THE DETOUR by K. Bromberg is a contemporary, adult Christmas short focusing on romance writer Harley Humbug, Mayor / bar owner Saint Nick and a snowstorm that strands our heroine in Saint Nick’s Hollow.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Saint and Harley) THE DETOUR follows the quick building relationship and one-night stand between romance writer Harley Humbug, and Mayor / bar owner Saint Nick. Harley Humbug has lost her muse; she is struggling to write, and the holidays are something of which she is not looking forward. Stranded in St. Nick’s Hollow, a virtual Christmas village Harley will get the inspiration she needs from the man that stirs something she hasn’t felt in a very long time-magic.

THE DETOUR is a character driven, short story with a sexy hero and a lost heroine who will find her muse in the unlikeliest of places. The story ends abruptly, I am hoping for more.

But for every secret of theirs I hold close, I have secrets of my own I hold closer. I’m not trying to hide my history, but…it’s complicated. And that’s putting it mildly. It’s easier to keep my past firmly in the past, until the day a familiar face walks through my office door.

Clay Brandeis is the only one who knows my whole story. Through the darkest period of my life, he was by my side. A friend and confidant. I once thought he was something more, but he walked away and left me wondering how I got it so wrong.

After all these years, one look at him and I know I wasn’t wrong at all. His handsome face, his strong and steady demeanor, despite the icy glare he’s throwing my way. My heart wasn’t wrong about Clay Brandeis, and this Christmas, I’m determined to make sure he knows it too.

REVIEW: CODE NAME GRACE is the latest novella in Sawyer Bennett’s contemporary, adult JAMIESON FORCE SECURITY erotic, romantic suspense series focusing on the men and women who work for Jameson Force Security. This is twenty-nine year old, psychiatrist Dr. Corinne Ellery, and thirty-seven year old, FBI Agent Clay Brandeis’s story line.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Clay and Corinne) CODE NAME: GRACE follows the rebuilding romance and relationship between our leading couple. Nine years earlier, Agent Clay Brandeis was the leading investigator on the Salt Slasher serial killer case, and Corinne’s parents were the killer’s final victims. Believing his inaction caused the death of Corinne’s parents, Clay ran from the woman who had stolen his heart. Fast forward to present day wherein a Christmas Eve snowstorm has ‘trapped’ our hero with the woman he failed. What ensues is the rebuilding relationship between Clay and Corinne as Clay continues to struggle with the guilt of Corinne’s parent’s death.

CODE NAME: GRACE is a wonderfully sexy and decadent second chance Christmas romance. The premise is heart warming; the romance is provocative; the characters are energetic, a little bit broken and lost.

BOYFRIEND (True North) by Sarina Bowen

REVIEW: BOYFRIEND is a contemporary, new adult, hockey romance short found in Sarina Bowen’s world of the TRUE NORTH series,and the upcoming multi-authored Moo U anthology. This is waitress Abbi, and Vermont college hockey player Weston Griggs.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Abbi and Weston) BOYFRIEND focuses on the fake relationship between college junior/ waitress Abbi, and Vermont college hockey player Weston Griggs.With the approach of the Thanksgiving holiday, Canadian Weston Griggs, choosing t remain in Vermont, hires himself out as a temporary boyfriend, something our heroine needs in the face of returning home for the holidays, a home where she no longer feels comfortable or welcome. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Abbi and Weston, as Weston must run inference on more than one occasion.

BOYFRIEND is a story of family, friendship, betrayal and lust. The premise is engaging; the romance is sweet; the characters are colorful and fun but the story line ends rather abruptly. I am going to presume the author has plans for their continuing story.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 1, 2020

The contract with Major League Soccer was supposed to help repair my damaged reputation.

Then I discovered that I’d made a deal with the devil: the player I’m supposed to recruit is none other than the bad boy, star Premier League footballer, Rush McKenzie.

British. Tattooed. Sexy. A man currently at the center of a huge scandal.

The goal? To convince him to stay in the States.

But what’s wrong with a little fun in the meantime? No strings. No sweet nothings. Just a way to pass the time while we’re both struggling to prove our true selves to the world.

If someone found out our relationship was anything more than professional, it would only serve to prove all our critics right.

***

I never should have agreed to take the fall.

But I did and I’m a man of my word.

Even if it means risking everything I’ve worked for.

The only bright side is Lennox Kincade.

Gorgeous. Defiant. Rumor-tainted. Totally off-limits.

Sharing a house with the gorgeous sports agent should have been a fun distraction from the turmoil. Someone to help pass the time while the tensions back home die down.

But what started as nothing, ends up as something I never saw coming.

REVIEW: HARD TO HOLD is the second instalment in K.Bromberg’s contemporary, adult PLAY HARD erotic romance series focusing on the Kincade sisters-sports agents who work for the family owned Kincade Sports Management (KSM). This is UK soccer (footballer) Rush McKenzie, and sports agent Lennox Kincade’s story line. HARD TO HOLD 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 (Lennox and Rush) HARD TO HOLD follows the building romance and relationship between American sports agent Lennox Kincade, and British soccer star Rush McKenzie. Rush McKenzie is currently hiding in America following a sporting scandal that could all but destroy his burgeoning career but Rush would quickly discover that the American MLS (Major League Soccer) is scouting our hero using sports agent Lennox Kincade, a former pageant beauty who works for her father’s KSM agency. All is not quite what is seems when it comes to Lennox Kincade, and in defiance of her family’s wishes, embarks on a solo mission when Major League Soccer contracts our heroine to ‘seduce’ one of the UK’s most notorious stars. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Lennox and Rush, and the potential fall-out as Rush’s time in America comes to a close.

Lennox Kincade struggles with her position within the family and at KSM. Believing she isn’t worthy, and the family is judging her based on prior performance, Lennox finds herself adrift, accepting a contract that is about to place our heroine in a precarious position. Rush McKenzie is currently hiding from a PR nightmare, a nightmare not of his making but a debt owed, has to be paid, and Rush becomes the fall-guy for a teammate whose personal life is about to implode.

The relationship between Lennox and Rush is one of immediate attraction but Lennox knows Rush is only in America to hide from the world but refuses to talk about what happened or why. With issues of trust beating at our story line couple, Lennox struggles to believe she is worthy of love, and Rush battles with the pull between Lennox, and his career back home. The $ex scenes are intimate, passionate and seductive without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and energetic secondary and supporting characters including Lennox’s sisters- Dekker Kincade and Hunter Maddox (Hard to Handle #1), Chase, Brexton, and their father Kenyon Kincade; Rush’s teammate Rory Matheson; rival sports agent Finn Sanderson; head of MLS Cannon Garner, and Lennox’s best friend Johnny.

HARD TO HOLD is a story of family and friendships, betrayal and revenge; secrets and lies, seduction, commitment and love. The premise is compelling and captivating; the romance is steamy and provocative; the characters are animated and charismatic. HARD TO HOLD is a wonderful addition to K.Bromberg’s Play Hard sports romance series.

REVIEW:FLIRTING WITH 40 by K. Bromberg is a contemporary, adult, stand alone erotic romance story line focusing on thirty-nine year old, divorcee and business woman Blakely Foxx, and thirty-one year old, hospital resident Slade Henderson.

Slade Henderson’s life is currently on hold following an incident at the hospital months before.

The relationship between Slade and Blakely is an age-gap romance wherein our heroine is eight year older than Slade. Not only does the age difference add fuel to an her already fragile self-esteem but her boss’ continued attacks threaten any hope of moving up in the company she loves. Slade is a man who fell instantly for our story line heroine, and in this, Slade makes every attempt to let Blakely know she is beautiful, just the way she is.

“The way I look at it, you owe me one.” His voice is just loud enough for me to hear over the din of the restaurant.
“I owe it to you?” I sputter.
“Mm-hm.” He nods resolutely as he puts more space between us, and my lungs find a way to breathe. “You ran out the other night without giving me a chance. I could be the best thing that ever happened to you—platonic or otherwise—and you might have missed that opportunity if we hadn’t run into each other on the street this afternoon.”
Or otherwise?
He’s talking nonsense but is doing it so convincingly that I try to talk myself out of what he’s successfully talking me in to. “I don’t—”
“Does my age unnerve you?” he asks.
“Your age doesn’t matter.”
“Exactly.” He smirks. “So, why are you making it matter?”
I walked right into that one.
“We’re at different phases of our lives. You’re in your residency. I’m a divorcée with baggage—”
“Everyone has baggage. It just looks different from person to person.” He leans back in his chair. “What are you afraid of? Getting to know someone new? Taking a chance? Stepping outside of the box for once? Finding yourself again?”
His words root deep into me and take hold. “I appreciate you trying . . . but we’ll never pull it off.”
“Yes, we could.”
“No one would ever believe it.”
“Quit letting them—whoever they are—put you in a mold, Blakely. Make your own damn mold. You might surprise yourself in the process.” His dimples deepen, and his eyes are as unwavering as his resolve.
“How do I know you aren’t some Ted Bundy in waiting?”
His laugh is throaty and rich and draws the stares of those around us. “I’m in the business of saving lives, not taking them.” He takes a sip of his beer. “Next excuse?”
“I’m . . .” I’m at a loss, and a small thrill of adrenaline shoots through me. This isn’t something I’d ever do, and yet, the idea of it is invigorating, almost freeing. I chew the inside of my cheek as I contemplate agreeing to Slade’s crazy scheme.
“What do you say?”
Say yes.
“It isn’t a crime for a younger man to think an older woman is attractive.”
I bite my bottom lip as the smile creeps around it.
He is drop-dead handsome.
“We go as friends. I help you out. No strings attached.”
The answer is yes.
“When’s the last time you threw caution to the wind? When’s the last time you did something unexpected no matter how small?” he asks.
It’s always yes.
“I can’t believe I’m saying this,” I mutter.
“Saying what?”
“Fine. Yes. Okay.”
