ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 30, 2020

At first, the request seemed simple—sign a new athlete to the agency.

Then I found out the new athlete was none other than the most wanted man in hockey today: Hunter Maddox

Gifted. Sexy. At the top of his game. And the only man who has ever broken my heart.

If signing him will help save our family business, I’ll swallow my pride and do what’s asked.

But when it becomes clear his uncharacteristic antics off the ice are a hint of something deeper, keeping things strictly professional between us becomes more than complicated. But I know better than to cross that line.

I’ll never date a client. Not even for him.

***

Win the Stanley Cup and do it before time runs out.

Not a small feat, but it’s what’s motivated me since the start of my career.

And time is running out.

Enter Dekker Kincade.

Feisty. Dogged. Damn gorgeous. The one I let get away.

I have no idea why she’s traveling with the team, but hell if resisting her is going to be easy.

But I have a job to do, and I refuse to lose sight of that end game. Even if she confuses me. Even if she sees parts of me I’ve hidden from the world.

I can’t lose focus. Not even for her.

REVIEW: HARD TO HANDLE is the first instalment in K. Bromberg’s contemporary, adult PLAY HARD erotic, romance series. This is thirty-two year olds, professional hockey player and New Jersey Lumberjacks team captain Hunter Maddox, and sports agent Dekker Kincade’s story line.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Hunter and Dekker) HARD TO HANDLE follows the second chance romance and relationship between professional hockey player and team captain Hunter Maddox, and sports agent Dekker Kincade. Hunter Maddox is all about the game of hockey including the drive for the Stanley Cup. With his contract up for renewal Hunter comes face to face with his former ‘friends with benefits’, sports agent Dekker Kincade, the woman who walked away three years earlier and broke his heart but there is more to Dekker’s appearance than a friendly hello. What ensues is the rebuilding romance and relationship between Dekker and Hunter and the potential fall-out as Dekker struggles between head and heart, and Hunter’s current attitude is affecting everyone both on and off the ice.

Dekker Kincade and her three sisters work for their father’s KSM agency, and Dekker’s current assignment is to procure professional hockey player Hunter ‘Mad Dog’ Maddox but Dekker knows that to face Hunter Maddox means to potentially lose her professionalism in the face of lust, love and the man who had stolen her heart. Hunter Maddox is slowly spiraling out of control. A once, well oiled, self contained hockey machine, Hunter’s antics in public and on the ice hide a deeper, emotional fall-out that he keeps hidden to himself. Angry at the world, Hunter begins to take out his frustrations on his teammate, his family and the woman he loves.

The relationship between Hunter and Dekker is one of second chances: a rekindling romance that was destroyed by Dekker’s need to run, something she continues to do with each encounter with our story line hero. Dekker is the one woman whom Hunter is unable to forgive but the woman he knows has stolen his heart. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to the Kincade sisters: Lennox, Chase, Brexton, and their father Kenyon Kincade; Maddox’s parents Gary and Carla Hunter, his brother Jonah, agent Finn Sanderson, and several members of the team: Callum Withers, goalie Katzen , Frankie, Maysen and Coach Junger.

HARD TO HANDLE is a story of family, relationships, struggles and love. A story of sibling rivalry, parental control, loss, grief, guilt and acceptance. The premise is emotional and real; the characters are edgy and dramatic; the romance is provocative and intense.

center;”>I stare at Hunter. At his shirt plastered with sweat and
how it clings to his body, despite the chill of the ice his skates are standing on. He has
his warm-up pants on and is without a helmet, his hair curling at the ends from thesweat.And all I see in his eyes is anger I didn’t put there. Or maybe I did. Rejection can do that
to a man . . . but there’s something more here. Something I walked in on that doesn’tmake sense.

“Don’t give me that look, Kincade,” Hunter mutters as he skates over to the penalty box

where his electrolyte drink sits.
“What look?” I ask.

He half laughs, half snorts and meets my gaze across the distance. “Disappointment.
Disproval. Disdain. I’m the king of all of them, so save your breath—or in this case—your

glare, because it’s not going to work with me.”

“Are we working on emotions that start with the letter D today?” I ask. A hint of my
embarrassment and anger over how I acted last night creeps into my voice, but I mask it
with sarcasm. “If that’s the case, I’m more than impressed with your answers thus far.”
He clenches his jaw in response and then skates back over to line up more pucks so he
can shoot them. And he does, one after another, each shot taken with laser precision and

a healthy dose of fury behind it.

He goes through the first ten lined up and then stops to catch his breath.
His talent and skill are undeniable, but so is the beer bottle in my hand.
“Just because you’re the captain and star of this team, doesn’t mean management won’t

frown upon this,” I say, unable to let this go.
“Screw the management.”

“No one likes a player who’s hard to handle and honestly, Hunter, you’re becoming hard

to handle.”

“No one likes unsolicited advice from someone who has no bearing on his career,

either,” he counters, the rebuke stinging but deserved.

The problem is, I do care about him. Doesn’t he get that’s where my hostility stems

from?

And only a crazy person would say that, Dekker.

I put my hands up in surrender to both him and my own thoughts. “You know I only
want the best for you.” I take a few steps in his direction in the first row of the stands.
I’m close enough to catch the hitch of his movement and to see uncertainty flicker in his
eyes. It’s almost as if he needs to talk but doesn’t see me as someone he can trust. I hate

that. “What is it, Hunter?”
“Nothing. It’s . . . never mind.”

But I see it, and he knows I see it. The question is what do I see, though?

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 3, 2020

Jack Sutton was the man I didn’t want to need.
His know-it-all attitude. His annoying suggestions. His outlook on life.
He was determined to help me while I had resolved to figure it out on my own.
But he taught me things I’d forgotten.
How to trust. How to believe in myself. Who I was.
The problem?
I went and fell in love with him.
—
Tatum Knox was the disaster I should have walked away from.
Her ruined reputation. Her failing business. Her chaotic life.
She hated me at first sight and yet intrigued me all at the same time.
I was only supposed to be there six months.
I was supposed to use that time to make amends for things I’d done wrong.
Instead I fell in love with her.
—
They say it’s better to have loved and lost, than not to have loved at all. Does that hold true when the love is based on a lie to begin with?

REVIEW: THEN YOU HAPPENED by K. Bromberg is a stand alone, contemporary, adult, cowboy romance focusing on ranchers Jack Sutton, and Tatum Knox.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Jack and Tatum) THEN YOU HAPPENED follows in the months after the death of Tatum’s husband Fletcher Knox, a man who gambled away, and destroyed everything Tatum held dear. Raised in privilege, Tatum fell in love with a boy from the wrong side of the tracks and in doing so was rejected by her mother and father. Fast forward to present day wherein Tatum, now widowed and the town pariah finds herself on the outside looking in as the bank threatens to foreclose due to her husbands debt and sins of the past. Enter Jack Sutton, a man who offers to manage the ranch, to bring it back to a thriving business. What ensues is the acrimonious but building relationship and romance between Jack and Tatum, and the potential fall-out as Jack’s true reasons for coming to town are revealed threatening Tatum’s hold on her hard fought sanity.

Jack Sutton is running from his responsibilities back home but a promise to his dying father meant Jack found himself working for Tatum Knox. Falling in love with Tatum was never on the agenda but the heart wants something it should not have. Tatum Knox is floundering under her late husband’s debt, a debt incurred through promises and gambling. With a price on her land, and a possible price on her head, Tatum is desperate for help but her stubborn pride refuses to accept that all is lost. The small town gossips and judgmental wannabes continue to fuel the hatred towards our story line heroine, a hatred that manifest towards her everyday life.

The relationship between Tatum and Jack begins acrimoniously as Tatum refuses to accept Jack Sutton at face value. Betrayed and destroyed by her late husbands lies, Tatum is barely able to survive as she is continuously the target of her husband’s former competition. Jack Sutton is anything if not persistent, and continues to push Tatum into hiring him for a six month contract, six months to turn the ranch around, in order to pay off the debts, and keep the wolves away from the door. Their attraction to one another is immediate but Tatum struggles in the face of what was, and what will never be. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic, language and text.

We are introduced to a lively group of characters including young ranch intern Will, hair stylist Fiona, and aging ranch hand Sylvester, Jack’s sister Lauren, as well as the requisite judgmental townies who see Tatum as nothing more than a stuck up snob.

THEN YOU HAPPENED is a story of secrets, lies, and betrayal; of family, friendships, romance and love. The premise is engaging, entertaining and endearing; the romance is captivating and seductive; the characters are colorful, energetic and charismatic. It took some time for me to accept the attitude of our story line heroine, a woman burned by the people she loved; a woman who is continually burned by her husband’s sins. Stubborn and proud, Tatum continues to struggle alone, knowing to ask for help, means sacrificing the independence she has longed for all of her life.

“Just face it, Knox. You’re head over heels in love with me.” Jack finally smiles, dimple winking and those eyes lighting up as he takes a step toward me, holding the scoop to his chest. “You can’t be near me because you want me, and you can’t talk to me because you get all flustered and tongue-tied.”
“There is nothing about you I find attractive,” I lie.
He places the scoop in my hand but doesn’t let it go when I try to take it. “It’d be much easier and a whole lot less distracting if I could say the same of you.” He lets go of the scoop and dips the tip of his hat in an aw-shucks kind of way. “But I’m not one to lie.”
Our eyes hold across the short distance as his comment floats through the air and fades like the dust specks dancing in the sunlight.
“That won’t work, you know?” I say.
“What won’t?”
“You trying to charm me every time you want something. I know your kind, Jack Sutton, and I’m not impressed by them.”
“Is that so?” He shifts on his feet and adjusts his hat before re-crossing his arms over his chest. “And what kind is that?”
“A man who uses his good looks and smooth words to get his way with people. A man who turns on the charm to disguise it.”
His eyes darken and then narrow. “Just like you’re the woman who keeps living her privileged life . . . fiddling while Rome burns down around her?” he counters, making me want to scream that he knows nothing about me or how I live or what I’ve been through for the last year. A small part of me is shouting about how that was his point, but I tell the voice to shut up. “And if by good looks and smooth words, you’re implying I’m like Fletcher, I suggest you not infer that again.” That muscle in his jaw feathers in contempt.
“I’m not the woman you think I am.”
He twists his lips and stares at me in a way that feels like he is seeing right through me. It’s unnerving and unsettling, and I force myself not to look away because his silence is telling me that maybe he thinks I am.
I’m not sure why that bugs me. Why I want him to see me as someone different.
“I’m not even certain you know who that woman is either.”

I play to win, and I won’t let anything—or anyone—get in the way of what I want.

The first time I met Vaughn Sanders, I knew I wanted her. Confident, intelligent, and downright sexy. I thought I knew how to play her game. I was ready and willing for the challenge. Little did I know she was full of secrets and surprises.

But so am I.

Charming a woman into my bed has never been my problem. It’s the relationship part that is. They want it. I don’t. But can you blame me? Broken marriages are how I make a living. Hell, no self-respecting man would let a woman own his thoughts, invade his dreams, and steal his heart. So how in the world has Vaughn done that to me?

I’ve fallen in love with her. There. I said it. But that acknowledgment comes with a heavy price.

Everything and everyone seem to be working against us, leaving us both to question whether what we have is worth the cost.

I’ll be damned if I go down without a fight.

•••••••••

REVIEW:REVEAL is the second instalment in K. Bromberg’s contemporary, adult WICKED WAYS erotic, romance duology focusing on high powered divorce attorney Ryker Lockhart, and business woman Vaughn Sanders. REVEAL should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events and cliff hanger of book one RESIST.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Ryker and Vaughn) REVEAL continues to focus on the tempestuous relationship between high powered divorce attorney Ryker Lockhart, and business woman Vaughn Sanders. At the end of book one RESIST Vaughn discovers that the man with whom she was falling in love betrayed and destroyed any semblance of happiness for our story line heroine. Desperation found Ryker lying to protect the woman he loved, lies that forced Vaughn out of his life. Secrets from the past rain down upon our story line couple; Vaughn finds herself caught between the proverbial rock and a hard place; and Ryker struggles to protect the woman that calls to his heart.

REVEAL is a story of betrayal, vengeance, power and control; of the political elite, and their attempt to dominate the world around them. K. Bromberg pulls the reader into a heart breaking, dramatic and sensitive story; an edgy and thrilling ride; an emotional and intense romance that is threatened by demons from the past. The secondary and supporting characters are colorful and energetic-the requisite evil has many faces.

“Ryker . . . please . . . just let me go.” But this time when she speaks there is something in her voice that catches my ear. The same thing that has me looking a little bit closer, regardless of how much my chest constricts in doing so, and I notice the tears welling in her eyes and the tremble of her bottom lip.
A chink in her damn armor. She doesn’t want to tell me we’re over any more than I want to believe her.
“What the fuck is going on here? You’re hiding something from me.”
“No. I’m not. This just can’t be.” She starts to skirt around me, and it takes everything I have not to reach out and keep her there.
“Don’t walk away from me when I’m talking to you!”
“And don’t you think for a second you can tell me what to do,” she counters, hair flying over her shoulder, jaw clenched.
“I’m not in the mood for your games.”
“My games?” she screeches and throws me off guard when I shouldn’t be. “My games? You’re the one who did this to me. All of it. And you tell me I’m playing games?”
“What the—?” I stop and try to figure out what she’s talking about. My hands are on her shoulders, and I’m all but shaking her to force her to look me in the eyes. “Did what to you, Vaughn? What the hell have I done to you besides fuck myself over by falling in love with you?” Words that should be said with kindness come out in a frustrated rage. Truths I don’t want to voice, and now I can’t take them back.
And she just stands there with her head shaking to reject my words, eyes wide with a hint of fear, and fuck if I don’t hate myself right now for everything I feel: rage, desperation, love, desire.
How can you swear you’re not cut out for a relationship and love in one breath, then with the next fight so goddamn hard to keep it?
What is this woman doing to me?
I scrub my hands over my face and take a deep breath to calm the fuck down. To force myself to cool my temper so I can keep her here instead of pushing her farther away.
“What is it, baby?” I all but plead with a voice as soft as I can make it. “Tell me why you’re walking away when you don’t want to.” She averts her eyes, confirming there’s something more. “I can’t help you unless you tell me what happened. I can’t understand why the other night meant nothing to you until you do.”
Come on. Talk to me.
“Carter paid me a visit after I left your place.” Her voice is soft, but her defiance is mounting.
That’s definitely not what I expected to come out of her mouth.
“What do you mean, Carter paid you a visit?”
“Just what I said.”
“Why? For what? That fucking asshole better not have touched you.”
“Does it matter if he did?” Her voice rises. “You invited him into my personal life. You gave him everything he needs to destroy me.”

RESIST (Wicked Ways #1) by K. Bromberg-Review Tour

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / Chapters Indigo /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 30 2019

Who says you have to play by the rules to get what you want?

Agreeing to meet Ryker Lockhart is my first mistake. Rich, handsome, and more than intriguing, he thinks blackmail will bend me to his will.

But he’s wrong.

I may have done a few things that weren’t exactly legal, but I have my own reasons for that. The last thing I’m going to do is let some high-powered divorce attorney come into my life, have my body, and rule my heart. Not to mention ruin everything that I have carefully built in just a short amount of time.

But as much as I try to resist him, and against my better judgment, there is something about him that has me agreeing to his proposal.

I’m putting everything on the line for him. I just hope I won’t lose everything when this is all over.

••••••••••

REVIEW: RESIST is the first instalment in K. Bromberg’s contemporary, adult WICKED WAYS erotic, romance series focusing on high powered divorce attorney Ryker Lockhart, and business woman Vaughn Sanders. There is a slight-cross over with the author’s DRIVEN series with a cameo appearance by Colton Donavan.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Ryker and Vaughn) RESIST follows the building but acrimonious relationship between high powered divorce attorney Ryker Lockhart, and business woman Vaughn Sanders. Vaughn Sanders is hoping to gain custody of her late sister’s daughter but financial problems find our heroine skirting the law in an attempt to pay down her debt and make enough money to support her eight year old niece Lucy. A business proposition from divorce attorney Ryker Lockhart screams all kinds of problems including Ryker’s claimed ownership of our story line heroine. What ensues is the back and forth, tempestuous relationship between Ryker and Vaughn, and the potential fall –out as Vaughn finds herself caught between head and heart, and the possible destruction of everything she holds dear.

Ryker Lockhart doesn’t do relationships, and in this he struggles with his attraction to a woman with questionable ethics, and a business that caters to the rich and famous. Vaughn Sanders is desperate to reunite with her sister’s daughter but bureaucratic red tape, and uneasy acquaintances threaten any future of which Vaughn is hoping to succeed.

The relationship between Vaughn and Ryker begins as business arrangement wherein the power struggle between our leading couple constantly comes to a head. As Ryker continues to pursue Vaughn, Vaughn’s defences are slowly collapsing leaving her vulnerable to attack from the outside. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense.

RESIST is a story of family, betrayal, secrets and lies; a story of power and control; vengeance and pain. The premise is heart breaking and intense; the characters are strong but broken, energetic, stubborn and charismatic; the romance is seductive and captivating. RESIST is a dramatic, animated and decadent story of forbidden love between two people whose lives will collide over and over, again. RESIST ends on a cliffhanger-you have been warned.

The lobby is elegant, with its large chandeliers, but they’re kept dim so as to allow each of its patrons some privacy. Almost as if they know I’m trying to hide some from the rest of the room for a bit. Soft classical music flows from the overhead speakers as people mill about in evening wear. There are hugs given among people, and laughs echo off the walls and marble floors.I stand in the corner, surveying the crowd as nerves I don’t want to admit to run a riotous act within, and my mind tries to grapple for the nth time with what I’m about to do.

You’re keeping your reputation intact.

That’s how I have to look at this. That’s how I have to justify this.

Just like that, my breath catches when Ryker Lockhart waltzes into the lobby. I’m rarely affected by a man—sure, I can say one is handsome or sexy or gorgeous, but rarely does a man really catch my eye.

But there he is . . . standing in the middle of the lobby, surveying everyone around him, making my pulse race.

This is a bad idea.

He’s tall, his shoulders are broad, and there’s an air about him that screams authority while a magnetism about him makes people look his way.

And he hasn’t even spoken a word to anyone yet.

Such a bad idea.

He’s in a well-tailored tuxedo, everything black save for the crisp white dress shirt beneath it. His hair is styled, and an expensive watch glints at his wrist when he holds it up to look at the time.

Of course, that’s my cue that I’m not there exactly on time, but I give him a few more seconds to make him wait.

It’s all about power, even when I’m in a different pair of shoes.

With a deep breath, I walk toward him, shoulders square, head high, and remind myself that I’m not Vee right now. I can’t act like we’re on an equal playing field.

He has hired me. I am his.

 


 

Guest Post: A Pretty Woman With Power by K. Bromberg

Ryker Lockhart: Powerful. Unrelenting. Stubborn.

Vaughn Sanders: Defiant. Strong. Unyielding.

With those two sets of characteristics, Ryker and Vaughn are definitely oil and water one moment and then an ember met with gasoline the next. That dynamic is what made writing them and their story so much fun in my latest book, Resist. Their tale was a delicate dance though because the push and pull of the chase better be worth the reward for readers.

I often enjoy taking characters and painting them with broad strokes (i.e. Vaughn’s profession) so that readers initially question them. Then over the next 100,000 words, I love to smash their preconceived notions so that they root for the heroine. So that they are right beside her cheering her on and falling in love with the hero just like she is.

It’s not often an easy task to write a heroine, because women are often harsher on female characters than they are males. Heroes can be over the top alphas who are dominant and say all the wrong things, but once they show vulnerability, we somehow forgive them. Heroines on the other hand, are judged more fiercely. She’s too weak. She’s too strong. She’s too wishy- washy. She’s being a b*tch for pushing him away. Making a reader like a strong-willed female character isn’t always an easy task. So when you put two characters together who embody all of these things, it’s a delicate balance to have enough push and pull. Enough sexual tension. Enough redeemable qualities so you can love them despite their faults.

This challenge is one of the reasons I loved writing Resist (and its sequel Reveal). I don’t quite remember where the storyline came from, but I recall the furious scribbling on paper as Ryker and Vaughn’s story came to life in my imagination. Take a strong-willed woman with a risqué job and give her a real reason to need that job. Take a domineering divorce attorney who deals with love gone wrong day-in and day-out, and force him to see that there can be more than just sex between a man and a woman. That love is, in fact, possible.

Challenge accepted.

Is Resist a subtle nod to the Pretty Woman trope? I never really thought of it that way, but I can see the similarities being drawn. Vaughn (my character) and Vivian (movie character) have names that both start with the letter V. They both wear a red dress in a scene. The both work in fields that deal with selling sex for profit . . . but that’s where the comparisons stop.

Vaughn Sanders is a force to be reckoned with. Sure, she’s a madam, but once you get beneath the moniker, readers find a strong-willed woman taking measures into her own hands for the benefit of someone else. Readers will find a woman with a strong backbone and a take no prisoners attitude. A woman they can’t wait to see succeed. Sure, we throw in our hero–Ryker, a senator you know is dirty somehow, an adorable niece, and whole cast of other characters and situations and we’re left trying to figure out how it’s all going to play out . . . but the one thing we know for sure, is that we want Ryker and Vaughn to end up together.

Because hopefully when you finish Resist, like Ryker and Vaughn, you start to believe true love does in fact exist.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 8 2019

Zane Phillips mistook me for his dog walker. It shouldn’t surprise me that the man with a suit more expensive than my rent would assume that I was there to serve him. The positive? I put him in his place. The negative? I missed my job interview because of it.

Now I find out he’s a rich Australian entrepreneur, and he wants to make up for tanking my interview. Yes, he’s impossibly hot – but he’s also an arrogant jackass—so . . . no thanks.

But after a little white lie I tell spirals out of control, I’m somehow offered the chance to play Zane’s girlfriend to help promote his new dating website – and the best part? He can’t say no because he’ll get caught in his lie too.

Little did I know this would entail sharing a tour bus with him for the next few months. The fact that the bus has just one bed isn’t the most ideal of circumstances, but this spokesperson gig might be the kick in the pants my career needs, so why not take a chance?

Famous last words.

Now I’m crisscrossing the country–and sharing that bed—with the one guy I can’t stand. And even worse, my traitorous body is wondering at every turn what it’s like to be down under the gorgeous Australian. But as the miles unfurl, so does our passion…and if I’m not careful, I might end up believing that fairytales really do come true.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Zane and Harlow) FAKING IT follows model Harlow Nicks as she comes face to face with arrogance personified in the form of businessman Zane Phillips. Believing Harlow is his dog-walker, Zane’s aggressive attitude finds our heroine with a broken heal, and late for a job interview, a job she needs, but no longer has any chance of attaining. When the opportunity presents itself at a formal business get together, Harlow is offered the position of spokes model for Zane’s new online matchmaking site SoulM8 (dot) com, a position that comes with a price-two months on the road as Zane’s new girlfriend-a position that surprises Zane as well. What ensues is the acrimonious but building relationship and romance between Zane and Harlow, and the potential fall-out a Zane doesn’t do relationships, love or happily ever afters.

FAKING IT is an enemies to lovers, fake relationship story line wherein Zane and Harlow are pushed together by Zane’s business investor and octogenarian Robert Waze. Desperate for a successful business launch Robert devises a series of ‘reality’ programming and interviews to promote their online adventure, all in the name of love.

The relationship between Zane and Harlow is caustic and bitter, at the start. Harlow isn’t impressed with Zane’s cocky attitude and his previous manwh*re reputation; Zane on the other hand lives to push all of Harlow’s buttons, both good and bad. As their time together draws to a close, Harlow suspects that the love she feels for our story line hero is something that will not be felt in return. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text. The back and forth verbal sparring is energetic and fun.

The secondary and supporting characters are colorful and charismatic. We are introduced to Zane’s investor Robert Waze; Harlow’s romance loving mother; Zane’s friends Jack, Kostas, Enzo and Mateo, as well as Mick, the tour bus driver.

FAKING IT is a sexy and spicy story. The premise is stirring and engaging; the romance is provocative and captivating; the characters as sassy, energetic and spirited. FAKING IT is an animated and light hearted look at two people thrown together in the name of love.

“I have connections.” Brilliant, Zane. Fucking brilliant. That’s how you get her to not run away from you? By giving her a sleazy line? “Maybe I could help you find something.”
“I couldn’t care less about your connections.” She hangs her head and when she lifts it, I watch her reign in the pride I feel like a dick for bruising. “I’m sorry. That was rude. Like I said, thank you.” She holds up the papers and offers a reticent smile.
“Look . . .” I take a step toward her, more than aware that I don’t want her to go just yet and questioning why I’m even bringing this up. “I have an event I’m holding at the end of the week. You should come. I could introduce you to some people. There might be some job opportunities there.”
“Thanks, but no thanks. I’m not that kind of girl.” The roll of her eyes has me realizing how she took my comment.
My laugh makes my dog lift her head. “That’s not exactly what I meant, Harlow. I run a matchmaking website, not an escort service.”
“Good to know. So basically that means you cherry pick the women you want to date after you scope out all their information. I assure you now I can sleep better at night knowing this.”
“You’re exhausting.” And she is, but in the most fascinating of ways.
“You’re one to talk.” She crosses her arms over her chest and lifts her eyebrows.
I hold my hands up. “All I was trying to say is connections matter in this town. You and I both know that. My event . . . there is going to be a lot of people there. Industry people,” I say more than aware I just let it slip that I looked her up and know she works in the industry.
“Good. Great. Can you go now?”
But there’s a crack of a smile on her face. A chink in her defensive armor that tells me I’m getting somewhere.
“You have to take opportunities when they present themselves.” She doesn’t say anything but the slight smile remains. “Zane Phillips. Nice to meet you.” I stick my hand out. She looks down at it and nods but doesn’t shake it.
God, she’s stubborn.
And damn gorgeous.
“And you’re Harlow Nicks.”
“Considering you had my electric bill, I guess that means you know how to read.”
“I do.” I nod. “And I also have your email address from your interview paperwork.”
“Should I worry that you’re stalking me?”
I shake my head and sigh. “I’ll email you the information about the party—”
“—don’t bother—”
“—it’s on Friday night. Cocktail attire. Lots of networking.”
“I won’t read it.”
I flash a megawatt smile at her and then turn to walk away. “Yes, you will.”
And she will.
It’s rare that a woman resists me. She’s trying but I’ll win in the end. It just seems for the time being that I have my work cut out for me.
I’m a man who always has an end goal in mind. Always.
There’s no point in setting a goal if you don’t plan on smashing it.
Question is, what in the hell am I aiming for when it comes to Harlow Nicks?

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 13, 2018

Control is something Desi Whitman abhors. Why live life in black and white perfection when you can messily color outside the lines?

But when she comes face to face with SWAT officer Reznor Mayne, he’s about to show her just how good control can feel.

••••••

REVIEW: CONTROL by K. Bromberg is instalment 3.5 (and novella) in the author’s EVERYDAY HEROES, erotic, romance series, and the latest instalment in the multi-authored 1001 Dark Nights. This is pet groomer Desi Whitman, and SWAT Team commander Reznor Mayne’s story line. CONTROL can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line in the EVERYDAY HEROES series is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Desi and Reznor) CONTROL follows the building relationship between pet groomer Desi Whitman, and SWAT Team commander Reznor Mayne. Reznor Mayne needs a break. When his last assignment went all to h*ll, the SWAT Team leader was ready to pack it in but his commanding officer told him to take some time off in order to re-evaluate his priorities. Heading to Sunnyville, California Reznor volunteered to work the local Self Defense Class. Enter pet groomer and self-defense student Desi Whitman, and the woman with whom Reznor would fall in love. What ensues is the contemptuous relationship between Desi and Reznor, and the potential fall-out as Desi is unable to let go of the past, pushing Reznor out of her life.

Desi Whitman is lost and struggles to move forward with her life. Suffering PTSD from a home invasion, our heroine begins to pull away from family and friends, preferring to remain locked behind closed doors fearing an attack at any moment. Meeting Reznor Mayne brings all sorts of problems including a palpable sexual attraction, an attraction that is in opposition her need to keep all men at a distance. Reznor Mayne knows the struggle of PTSD including the nightly terrors that keep our hero up late into the night but Reznor had no idea he would meet his future in a woman caught up in the memories of the past, a past he is hoping to help her forget.

The relationship between Reznor and Desi is one of immediate attraction but Desi’s need to belittle all men adds insult to injury for an already broken ‘everyday hero’. Desi struggles with her attraction to Reznor Mayne, an attraction that brings out some mean-spirited attitude that doesn’t belong. The $ex scenes are intimate and intense.

The secondary and supporting characters are colorful and dynamic. We are introduced to instructor Bear, as well as the return of Grant and Emerson Malone (Cuffed #1) for cohesion.

CONTROL is a story of friendship, love and happily ever after; a tale of struggle, romance, and moving forward. The premise is engaging and entertaining; the romance struggles in the face of preconceived notions; the characters are colorful and animated but I had a difficult time accepting the heroine’s immaturity and attitude. Desi’s vulnerability is expected but her treatment of others is questionable and disheartening. Sometimes there is no forgiveness when a character’s behaviour is problematic. My enjoyment of the story line suffered with the heroine’s biased attitude.

“Remind me not to like him.”
“Like who?” she asks.
Gotta keep her on her toes.
“Logan St. Assh*le,” I say. “Guys who have cats—correction, guys who name their cat Pussy—either aren’t getting any or are using the name as a way to state they’re not gay when everyone already knows they are.”
“Is that so?”
“Yep. Why be ashamed of who you are and hide behind a cat? Just live the best life.”
There’s something I say that has her head tilting to the side again. She takes me in a little longer than expected. “It’s the former,” she finally admits.
I shrug. “Why is he an assh*le?”
“The bigger question is how is he not an assh*le?” For the briefest of moments I see a ghost of a smile on her lips, and it reminds me of how pretty she was the other day before the defense class began when she was chatting me up.
“Doggy Style?” I ask.
“That’s the name.”
“But Pussy is a cat.”
“You’re quite observant…”
“I can imagine you attract all kinds of interesting folks with that name,” I say, dismissing her sarcasm.
For the briefest of moments something flickers through her eyes and before I can put a finger on it, the emotion is gone, but it reminds me of what I saw in them the other day after class.
“Just as I’m sure you do working with SWAT.”
“Always.” I look at the cute cottage-style house. “You lived here long?”
We stare at each other in silence, and it’s almost as if she remembers she isn’t supposed to like me. Her expression and posture suddenly stiffen…probably because she realized she was smiling at me.
And f*ck if I know why it turns me on.
“It’s none of your business.”
So that’s how she wants to play it? Fine.
“Then it’s also none of my business that Pussy ran into the house about two minutes ago.” She narrows her eyes and sneers at me again. “It’s your loss, Desi.”
“What is?”
“That you don’t trust me to show you just how good I am with something wet and groomed.” And with that parting comment, I flash her a lightning-quick grin before heading to my side of the fence, while she grumbles and curses me out under her breath.
I hear her door slam.
I hear her call for Pussy again.
And all I can think about is how damn unexpected she is—and at the same time such a very welcome distraction.
I think I’m going to like my time in Sunnyville.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 15, 2018

This whole contest was supposed to be easy. I know, I know. Famous last words.

It’s a long story, but I messed up at work. Big time. To earn back the trust of my boss, I promised to save one of our magazines. Yep. That Hot Dad contest you’ve seen advertised all over the place was my idea. And if I’m successful, if I’m able to increase our online readership, then I get a shot at my dream job.

But the one thing I never expected to happen, happened: Contestant number ten, Grayson Malone. Hello, Mr. Difficult. And did I mention sexy as hell?

Unfortunately he knows me. The old me, anyway. And while we might be older now, I remind him of before. Of the woman who broke his heart, who hardened him, and who left him alone to raise the cutest little boy I’ve ever seen.

But I don’t want a relationship. And I definitely don’t fall for single dads with baggage. Even ones with chiselled abs and killer smiles.

But he got to me. They got to me. Him and his son and their messy, crazy life. But I got to him too. I see the stolen glances. I feel the walls he built start to crumble. I recognize that there’s an unexpected beauty to the chaos in his life.

And now that the contest is about to end, we’re left to decide whether the last six months were just fun or if what we have is worth risking it all?

•••••••••••

REVIEW: WORTH THE RISK is the third instalment in K. Bromberg’s contemporary, adult EVERYDAY HEROES erotic romance story line. This is publishing heiress and journalist Sidney Thorton, and single father/rescue pilot Grayson Malone’s story line. WORTH THE RISK 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 (Grayson and Sidney) WORTH THE RISK follows the acrimonious relationship between publishing heiress Sidney Thorton, and single father/rescue pilot Grayson Malone. Sidney Thorton screwed up, big time, but she wasn’t in a position to reveal the truth to the man in charge. Hoping to teach his daughter a lesson, publishing magnate Frank Thorton offers his daughter one last chance to prove she is worthy by sending her to the small town of Sunnyville, where she was born, to pick of the pieces of ‘Modern Family’ a dying magazine within the Thorton Publishing family. Enter Grayson Malone, single father and rescue pilot, and the man with whom Sidney would fall in love. What ensues is the contemptuous relationship and romance between Sidney and Grayson, and the potential fall-out as Sidney’s time in Sunnyville, draws to an end.

WORTH THE RISK is an enemies to friends romance. As a teen, Sidney Thorton was a snob; a rich girl who looked down on those she deemed less worthy including our story line hero. Sidney is desperate to improve the circulation of ‘Modern Family’, and a ‘Hot Dad’ contest is just the thing. Discovering Grayson Malone was a ‘Hot Dad’ finalist, Sidney is tasked with persuading Grayson to remain in the running. Growing up in a hard working, blue-collar family of first responders Grayson Malone knows life can be hard to the people left behind but getting reacquainted with the woman that reminds him too much of his past, is something Grayons refuses to acknowledge.

The relationship between Grayson and Sidney is slow to build as Sidney is tasked with convincing Grayson to accept his placement in the ‘Hot Dad’ contest. To get involved with one of the competitors could mean disqualification for Grayson, and the potential loss of respect and Sidney’s job but the sexual attraction is heavy and hot. The $ex scenes are intimate and seductive, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

The secondary and supporting characters are colorful and fun. We are re-introduced to Grayson brothers: police officer Grant and his wife Emerson (Cuffed #1), fire fighter Grady and Dylan (Combust #2) as well as Sidney’s co-worker and editor in chief of Modern Family Rissa Patel, her best friend Zoey, father Frank, Grayson’s parents, and his adorable and heart breaking son Luke.

WORTH THE RISK is a passionate story line; a tale of one man unable to let go of the past, and one woman who is desperately trying to prove she is worth a second chance. The premise is emotional and realistic; the characters are spirited and energetic; the romance is captivating and intense.

But by the time I reach her, my blood boils with irrationality spurred on by too much alcohol.
“Can I have a moment?” I ask as I walk up to her and grab her elbow, pushing her down the darkened hallway.
“What is your problem?” She hisses as she fights me every step of the way.
We get looks. I get looks. I don’t care because all I keep seeing is Vince’s hands on her arm. His eyes on her tits. His bullshit game I can spot a mile away.
I find the closest door down the hallway leading to the bathrooms, and it opens. I push her through it, barely noticing that it’s an office of sorts before the door is shut, her back is up against it, and my mouth is covering hers.
Take.
Goddammit. That’s my only thought as I fit my lips to hers and take out my anger on her mouth with tongue and teeth and every fucking lick and nip in between.
“What—”
“I’m so pissed at you.”
It’s all I say. It’s the only chance I give her to come up for air before my lips are back on hers. Before my tongue wars with hers. Before my body admits it would beg, borrow, and steal in order to taste every other part of her.
Groan.
I swallow the tiny sound she makes in our kiss as my hands hold her neck still and my lips wage an all-out assault. She hesitates—just a split second—before she reacts. Before her body bows into me, and her mouth argues back.
Fist.
Her hand in my shirt. Her other hand at the back of my neck as our bodies meet—pressed knee to chest. Her perfume in my nose. Her hair tickling my cheeks. The feel of her tits against my chest.
Give.
I can’t get enough.
I’m mad at her.
I want her.
I don’t want to want her.
Christ, do I want her.
“Gray.” A murmured protest.
I tear my lips from hers, shove off the door I have her pressed against, and stride to the other side of the room.
“You are . . . you just . . .” It’s as if I can barely breathe. Christ, I’m mad at you.”
She stands there, lips parted, chest heaving, and golden brown curls messed from my hands, but her eyes look hurt. A hurt I don’t want to see but can’t deny.
“Why?”
“You did this,” I accuse as I try to manage the anger that’s waging a war against my desire.
“Did what?” Her eyes narrow. Her hand goes to press against her chest.
“Made me want you.”

Grayson: I’ve been thinking about you all day.

I look down at the text and smile before turning my attention back to Rissa and our plans for how we’re going to end this round of voting and move on to the top five.
“So, I think we close it out and then maybe take the next week and announce one of the finalists each day. Give little tidbits about each of them, make readers like them more, just have fun with it.”
My phone beeps again with another text, and I bite back the new grin trying to form on my lips. Rissa only huffs, eyeing my phone with annoyance. “Sorry, let me turn my ringer off.”
And then I have to feign nonchalance when I look down at my phone and find another text.

Grayson: My dick is rock hard, and it’s you I’m imagining. It’s in my hand when I’d rather it be in your mouth with my fingers in your pussy, working you into a frenzy.

“Is everything okay?” Rissa asks, making me realize I must have made a noise when I read the text. “You look startled.”
I glance back at the text again and shake my head while every part of my body comes to life. “Yeah, it’s, uh, fine.”
“Your ringer.” Her brows are lifted as she glances to my phone and then back to me.
“My finger?” I squeak, thinking she saw the phone screen.
“Ringer. Sound on your phone.”
“Oh, yes . . . sorry.” Flustered, I fumble with my cell, and before I can even switch it off, another text alert pings.

Grayson: I want to bend you over and watch as my cock slides in and out of you.

“So back to next week . . .”
“Yes,” I swallow over the desire lodged in every place it should be and try not to glance at my phone as it vibrates again.
“Are you good with that plan?” Rissa asks as I shift in my seat to abate the sudden ache burning brighter than bright.
“Yes. Sure. I think that sounds like a great plan.”

Grayson: I want my cock buried so deep that you feel every damn inch of me.

“Are you sure you’re okay?”
“Yeah, why?” My voice breaks like a prepubescent teenager.

Grayson: I want you to come so hard you have to bite the pillow.

“You look a little flushed. Are you coming down with something?”

Grayson: You always have a choice. Isn’t that what you said to me once? Make a choice, Sidney. Isn’t it time to head to lunch?

“I mean, yeah, maybe.” I pull at my collar some. “Maybe that’s why I feel so flushed all of a sudden.”

Grayson: Meet me on the backside of The Cottages. Room Six. Fifteen minutes.

“Either that,” she says as she stands and heads to the door, only turning back to give me a wink, “or you’re guilty as hell. Maybe you should go take care of that itch texting you . . . or take some Tylenol. Whichever one it is, I think you should take the afternoon off.”

Grayson: Choose me.

“Oh.” It’s the only thing I can think to say because my brain is otherwise occupied imagining Grayson following through on his promises.
“And, Sid?”
“Yeah?”
“I sure hope he’s every bit worth breaking the rules.” She winks. “It’s about damn time. Your secret is safe with me.”

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 29,2018

Songwriter Dylan McCoy has been burned.

By her boyfriend she found in her bed . . . with someone else.

By the contract she signed that obligates her to work with him until the songs for his new album are complete.

By her agent when she asked Dylan to keep their breakup on the down-low.

When she finds herself in Sunnyville, she refuses to let her new roommate burn her too. Still . . . a rebound has never looked so good.

That’s her first thought when she sees firefighter Grady Malone.
Sexy. Charismatic. Unapologetic. He’s a man who carries his own scars—the ones on his back, the survivor’s guilt on his soul, and the fear in his heart.

When an unexpected visitor puts their roommate status to the test, will their undeniable attraction burn out, or will they both take a chance and play with fire?

•••••••••••••

REVIEW: COMBUST is the second instalment in K. Bromberg’s contemporary, adult EVERYDAY HEROES erotic, romance series focusing on the Malone brothers: Grant, Grayson and Grady Malone. This is firefighter Grady Malone, and singer/songwriter Dylan McCoy’s story line. COMBUST 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 (Dylan and Gray) COMBUST follows songwriter Dylan McCoy in the aftermath of catching her long time lover and writing partner –rock star Jett Kroger- in the bed with another woman. Hoping for some alone time to write, Dylan’s brother Damon sends our heroine to Sunnyville where she will meet and temporarily settle down with Grady Malone-a broken and embittered firefighter battling demons of his own. What ensues is the building relationship between Grady and Dylan, and the potential fall out when Dylan’s time in Sunnyville comes to an end.

Dylan McCoy has contractual obligations including another twenty-four songs for rock star Jett Kroger-the man who broke her heart but refuses to let go of the past. Staying with firefighter Grady Malone finds our heroine considering a possible future but a future fraught with the worries and agony of which she is all too familiar. Already scarred from a fatal fire Grady struggles to move on with his life as he struggles with PTSD and survivors guilt.

The relationship between Grady and Dylan is one of immediate attraction but Grady has no plans for a happily ever after knowing the life of a firefighter leaves too many widows and orphans in their wake. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are reintroduced to Grady’s brothers: police officer Grant and his wife Emerson (Cuffed #1), and rescue pilot Grayson Malone and his son Luke, as well as their parents police Chief and Betsy Malone; several firefighters including Dempsey, Dixon, Veego, Bowie, Mack and Wes Winters; Shelby and Brody; rock star Jett Kroger, and record studio personnel Kai, Henry and Callum.

The world building focuses on family and friendship; on the dangerous world of first responders, and the fall out of the disasters waiting to happen.

COMBUST is an emotional story line as one man struggles with memories from the past, and one woman battles issues of self-esteem. Their mutual walls slowly begin to crumble but time and the inevitable good-bye dampen any hopes for a happily ever after. The premise is captivating and alluring; the romance is passionate and hot; the characters are damaged, hopeful and real. K. Bromberg invites the reader into her world of ‘everyday heroes’ and the women they love.
