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.
