ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 23, 2023

Crew Madden needs to find a place to recover.
For his twin girls.
For himself.
From the woman who left them without a backward glance.

Recovering from a traumatic event, a summer in the small town of Redemption Falls was the perfect solution for him. For his family. The only drawback? The rental cottage at the end of the drive.

But then he met its tenant.

The quiet, guarded, sexy-as-sin woman who took Crew’s breath away.

Tennyson West moved to Redemption Falls to hide.
From her previous world of abundance.
From the woman she used to be.
For a chance to start over . . . and be free.

She’s settled into her new life on the outskirts of a small town, content with her solitude. Her peaceful life.

And then she met her new landlord.

Crew Madden—and his sweet daughters—entered her life with a bang. She learned how to laugh again, to love again, something she never thought would be possible.

It was only meant to be a summer fling, but as demons from their past knocked on the door, their relationship was tested. Was their love strong enough to keep them together or would danger drive them apart for good?

REVIEW: UNTIL YOU is the first instalment in K. Bromberg’s contemporary, adult REDEMPTION erotic, romance series. This is former Chicago police officer and single father Crew Madden, and book editor Tennyson West’s story line.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Tennyson and Crew) UNTIL YOU focuses on the building romance and relationship between former Chicago police officer and single father Crew Madden, and book editor Tennyson West. Chicago police officer Crew Madden in on medical leave in the wake of the shooting of both him and his partner. An offer from his uncle Ian in Redemption Falls has Crew and his daughters temporarily moving, working as a handyman on his uncle’s property but Crew never expected to find his future in the guise of his neighbor Tennyson West, a woman who is hiding a dark secret that may be dangerous to everyone involved. Tennyson West is in hiding, and her past, and her true identity must remain secret but Crew is a police officer, and he recognizes when someone is struggling, when someone is desperation to remain in hiding. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Tennyson and Crew, and the potential fall-out when Tennyson runs fearing her past has come back, hoping to destroy.

The relationship between Tennyson and Crew begins as neighbors; close proximity when Tennyson is forced to move in with Crew and his daughters in the wake of the ongoing construction in her home. Falling for Crew, and his eleven year old daughters is easy, keeping them safe, mean Tennyson must chose between Redemption Falls, or life on the run. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to Crew’s eleven year old twins Addy and Paige, as well as Crew’s former CPD partner Justin and his wife Sheila, and newcomer Rhys Palmer.

UNTIL YOU is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and threats, acceptance and love. The fast paced and character driven premise is imaginative, intriguing and inviting; the characters are flirty, spirted and broken; the romance is seductive and hot.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 30, 2017

Never settle down. Ever.

Workaholic Lanie Rogers lives a completely nomadic lifestyle. Her job keeps her on the move, and relationships are a complication she doesn’t need. That is, until she meets Mr. Tall, Dark, and Hotness at a pre-wedding party. Complicated? Maybe. But lately, Lanie’s life has been missing a little something—and sexy playboy Tyler Norris offers something she definitely can’t refuse.

Tyler has always been a little too popular with women for his own good. Ever since he and his buddies vowed to remain bachelors, Tyler figured he was safe from temptation. Lanie and her gorgeous brown eyes are about to prove him so, so wrong. With one kiss, the heat is intense. After one night, it’s pure combustion. It was supposed to be a no-strings fling—until these two commitment-phobes each discover the one undeniable exception to their rule.

••••••••••

REVIEW: UNTIL YOU is the second installment in Denise Grover Swank’s contemporary, adult BACHELOR BROTHERHOOD erotic, romance series focusing on three friends (Kevin, Tyler and Matt) who call themselves The Bachelor Brotherhood. This is Kansas City attorney Tyler Norris, and Atlanta-based retail specialist Lanie Rogers’ story line. UNTIL YOU 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 third person perspectives (Lanie and Tyler) UNTIL YOU follows several paths including the secret relationship between attorney Tyler Norris, and retail specialist Lanie Rogers. Tyler and Lanie have been paired together in their mutual friends’ wedding-Brittany and Randy-but Brittany has a bad habit of interfering where she doesn’t belong. Brittany is a woman determined to match-make all of her friends, and Lanie refuses to have Brittany interfere in her private life. Enter attorney Tyler Norris, who offers himself up as a ‘secret friends with benefits’ when Lanie begins to panic about Brittany meddling ways. What ensues is the building romance and love between Lanie and Tyler, and the potential fall –out when Tyler’s latest client is in direct competition with the woman with whom he is falling in love.

Lanie Rogers is determined to keep her relationship with Tyler a secret. Brittany’s continuous need to set up all of her friends pushes Lanie out of her comfort zone, and our heroine does not want Brittany to find out about her affair with Tyler Norris. Tyler is a man who is falling for our story line heroine but Lanie refuses to acknowledge the relationship in public. The ongoing lies and secrets begin to build throwing Lanie Rogers into a spiral from whence she may never recover. Lanie’s need to keep their relationship a secret makes for many uncomfortable situations. Her actions are questionable; her continuing reluctance to reveal the truth exacerbates the already slow building story line.

The relationship between Lanie and Tyler is one of immediate attraction but Lanie does not want Brittany interfering in her life, and continues to push Tyler into a temporary arrangement. The back and forth, secrets and lies continues throughout most of the story all to keep Brittany from interfering in her friend’s relationship. The $ex scenes are intimate, intense and seductive without the use of sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to the bride and groom-Brittany and Randy- as well as Tyler’s younger brother Eric, and one of Tyler’s former girlfriends –Celesta-who is determined to make Tyler her own; Lanie’s co-worker and friend Stephanie, as well as her best friend Aiden. There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including the return of Matt and Kevin, and Kevin’s wife Holly Vandemeer.

The world building focuses on the upcoming wedding of Brittany and Randy; Tyler and Lanie’s attempts to keep secret their relationship, as well as Lanie and Tyler’s potential fall out when Tyler’s latest client interferes in Lanie’s plans.

UNTIL YOU is a slow building story line where I struggled with the heroine’s need to keep quiet her relationship with the leading hero-sometimes too much is too much especially when the lies begin to compound adding more conflict than necessary. The premise is sexy; the romance is provocative; the characters are colorful and energetic.

Q & A

TRC: Hi Denise and welcome to The Reading Cafe

We would like to start with some background information. Would you please tell us something about yourself?

Denise: I’m a lover of wine and Netflix, mother of six, and an author of over thirty books. (Not necessarily in that order.) I’ve written romance, urban fantasy, and mystery. I’ve hit the New York Times list with seven different books (most are with my Rose Gardner mystery series).

TRC: What challenges or difficulties have you encountered writing and publishing your stories?

Denise: I started out intending to publish traditionally but after three books and still no agent or book deals, I indie published Twenty-Eight and a Half Wishes, the first book of my Rose Gardner Mystery series. I loved being in charge of my own career and went on to publish quite a few indie books. I am now hybrid published with both Amazon imprints (47 North and an upcoming mystery series with Montlake), my YA romance with Blink, and my Bachelor Brotherhood series with Grand Central, but my most successful books have been indie published. I’ve sold about 2.2 million books.

TRC: Would you please tell us something about the premise of UNTIL YOU and the Bachelor Brotherhood series?

Denise: The Bachelor Brotherhood is a spinoff of my indie published The Wedding Pact. In the Wedding Pact three friends made a vow to marry by the time they were thirty, but only one of them takes it seriously. In the Bachelor Brotherhood, Kevin Vandermeer, the brother to Megan in The Substitute, forms that Bachelor Brotherhood with his two best friends. All three men have had disastrous relationships and they vow to stay away from women. Tyler is the second bachelor—a recovering player—who gets thrown off his game when he meets the career driven Lanie.

TRC: How do you keep the plot(s) unpredictable without sacrificing content and believability?

Denise: That’s always a struggle with any book, but I try to look at what’s probably expected and got the opposite direction.

TRC: Thank you Denise for taking the time to answer a few questions. Congratulations on the new release.

Denise: Thanks for having me!

about the author

Denise Grover SwankNew York Times and USA Today bestselling author Denise Grover Swank was born in Kansas City, Missouri and lived in the area until she was nineteen. Then she became a nomadic gypsy, living in five cities, four states and ten houses over the course of ten years before she moved back to her roots. She speaks English and smattering of Spanish and Chinese, which she learned through an intensive Nick Jr. immersion period. Her hobbies include witty (in her own mind) Facebook comments and dancing in her kitchen with her children. (Quite badly if you believe her offspring.) Hidden talents include the gift of justification and the ability to drink massive amounts of caffeine and still fall asleep within two minutes. Her lack of the sense of smell allows her to perform many unspeakable tasks. She has six children and hasn’t lost her sanity. Or so she leads you to believe.
