“Bromberg is a master at turning up the heat.”

—New York Times bestselling author Katy Evans

Worth the Risk, an all-new, sexy standalone about taking chances and finding love when it’s least expected, from New York Times bestselling author K. Bromberg, is LIVE!

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 chiseled 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?

5 ‘Worth ALL the Risk’ Stars

Oh my… These Malone men really are unforgettable! True Malone TRIFECTA!!! The emotion, the steam and the sweetness of Worth The Risk are sure to touch your heart in every way!

I can’t believe that the story of the last Malone brother is finally here. Since Cuffed, where we met this handsome, quiet single dad, I’ve been so curious about Grayson and all he was hiding with that teasing and easy going personality. Well, I can see he met his match, I couldn’t have chosen a better woman, for his broken trust and suspicion attitude towards relationships.
Given his displeased memories of a spoiled rich teenage Sidney, to say there is animosity when they meet again is downplaying it, lol. What neither of them counted on is that the memories were nothing compared to their instant attraction! It was scorching to say the least!!!

She tastes like heaven and hell. Like want and need. Like deception and desire.

Of course this dichotomy and their background gave me a contemporary Pride and Prejudice vibe (one of my all time fav romances), with spectacularly witty and sexy banter, anda whole LOT of steam!
Sidney was the BEST! She may have been a bit of a privileged daughter, and she’s the first to admit to her shortcoming, but damn, she was relentless! Once she returned to this small town, you could see her transformation – or was it blossoming of true nature? – from day to day, and after getting close to Grayson and Luke, wow… I truly loved her!

That comes with strings and strings tie you down.”
“And sometimes strings are meant to hold you back from running in the
wrong direction.” 

With how wise, thoughtful and considerate Grayson had proven to be on the other books, I was surprised with the size of the chip on his shoulder. I understood where he was coming from, with his past and what and who Sidney reminded him of, but lordy, was he he stubborn one. A super sexy and wonderful one, but still a hard headed one, lol. Sidney really had to battle and use all resources – with a little help – but she knew he was worth it.

“Like I said, I take too many risks.” “Not all risks are bad things.”

Not only him, but LUKE!!! Oh… My… God… This little man completely stole my – and Sidney’s – heart. How could it not?! Every single moment with him, and knowing his sincere and heartfelt wishes, make him even more irresistible than his dad, and that is saying a lot! He was one of my all time fav children in romance with his endearing and genuine ways!

By leaving him, the one Malone who I know has fought for me.

This kid. I tell you . . . he really is everything.

He, and Grayson, sure as hell were worth the battle. And that’s what it was, a true battle to prove that love is more than worth the risk, it’s worth EVERYTHING!!!
If only Grayson had seen Sidney was just as worth the same risk, and solved his issues a bit earlier on, I’d have given the book the full five stars, but his constant pushing away and specially comparison of the similarities between Sidney and his ex were a bit to much, but the woman endure everything like a trooper, even if it hurt her, she knew them two were more than worth, and what Grayson was hiding behind those walls! He was so caring and loving to her, at times, she kew it was the ghosts of his past that didn’t allow him to be truly happy. He lived only for him son, and was fighting his demons non stop, but thanks to once again some superb and expert advise from dad Malone, – this man has seriously the best lines! – he was able to move forward and show Sidney she too was worth the risk.

“A long time ago, someone once told me to find what I love and let it kill me.
Don’t be afraid of it, because she may also be the one to help bring you back to life. She may just be the air you need to breathe, the one you can’t live without.”

<b>Worth the Risk</b> showed us one again K. Bromberg’s brilliant and addictive writing style! The depth of the emotions, the steam of the sexy scenes, the complexity and realism of all the characters and the rollercoaster ride that Ms, Bromberg makes of their journey as a couple and as individual, where the romance shines trough really are unparalleled. Therefore I couldn’t be happy that the books of Malone universe aren’t stopping here, because I can NEVER get enough of this guys, and even with all the delicious glimpses we got here from all the brother’s and their families, from the precious books, like the greedy Bromberg fan I am, I always want and NEED more, so I’m now counting down the days for Desi’s book, and watching even more of the Malones’ HEA .
That’s right, even with that beautiful and amazing Epilogue, I needed to see even more of their much deserved HEA, and further on – if you follow me you know what an HEA wh@re I am, lol – and that’s just one of the many, many reasons, I’ll anxiously await for Under Control, because I have no doubt Ms. Bromberg will give me all that and so, so , SO much more! Can’t wait!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

You are the risk I chose to take. You are the one I choose.

Serenity, the conclusion to the emotional and romantic Fortuity Duet by Rochelle Paige, is  LIVE!

I’d lived a privileged life, in the lap of luxury and surrounded by family. It had felt like I was on top of the world…until tragedy struck.

My sense of loss felt bottomless, and I struggled with it every single day. Finding my path back into the light seemed impossible.

But then I met Faith—she was smart, sexy, and out of my league even though she didn’t have a penny to her name. We grew up in different worlds, but somehow we fit perfectly together.

Except neither of us had counted on learning that our connection was more profound than we knew.

(FREE WITH KINDLE UNLIMITED)

 

5 ‘Full Circle’ Stars

Awww…. I’m utterly and completely in awe: Serenity was the PERFECT conclusion for this brilliant Fortuity Duet!

I’d already fallen in love with Faith and Dillon on the first part of the duet, and thought Rochelle Paige couldn’t make me love this two any more than I did. Well, guess I was wrong, because Serenity completely stole my heart.

“Nothing worth having comes easy.”

Ms. Paige couldn’t have found a better motto for this family, and story. It fitted them to perfection.
For an New Adult, I was surprised and adored the maturity of these two. Serenity is not only a story about love and healing, but also strengthening, and mostly trust in one another- Of growth as individual as well as in a relationship. The way Dillon and Faith relied on one another and how realistically they overcame their obstacles, just warmed my heart, and revealed the beauty of their love.

“Love isn’t supposed to hurt like this,” I sobbed into his chest.
“You’ve got it all wrong, baby. The people we love are the only ones who can truly hurt us.”

I won’t reveal to much, but I have to stand out that meanwhile book one was more focused on Faith, her journey, her past, her thoughts and emotions, and what an intense ride it was. This second part we get to know Dillon better, and realize his feelings and emotions, his struggles and his love for Faith and his family, are just as powerful as Faith’s in the first book. SO yes, Rochelle made me cry yet again, but just proves exactly how potent the emotional charge is on this brilliant duet. And since I’m a major sucker for a male POV, you could say I was in cloud nine with this one! 😉

“You can’t possibly be jealous of your mattress. It’s an inanimate object, and one you sleep on next to me at that!”
“Don’t you get it yet, baby?” I slid my fingers down her spine, and she arched into me. “I’m a little bit jealous of anything that gets to touch your perfect skin.”

Fortuity Duet was without a doubt one of the most beautiful and emotional love story I’ve had the pleasure of reading. Brilliant concept, fast paced but complex development of the storyline, one hell of a twist on this one I did NOT see coming – which rarely happens for me, lol -, extraordinary characters, not only Faith and Dillon (which were so incredibly real!) but also his parents, whom I fell for just as much, and to top it of, an epic, once-in-a-lifetime love story, that shows us in depth just how powerful and healing a true love can be! A unparalleled story of Hope, Faith and Love! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

I held on to Faith like she was my lifeline—because that’s exactly what she was.

“You’ve changed my whole world for the better.”

Whatever it is, it’s not going to change my feelings for you, Faith. I love you. Today. Tomorrow. Always.”

5 ‘Simply PERFECT’ Stars

Only one word can describe this book: PERFECTION!
Perfect storyline!
Perfect Hero: Perfect Peter Parker Penn (see, it even fits his name, lol)!
Perfect Heroine: Kayla was the best!
Perfect hilarious, ROFL moments! Seriously, Kayla and Janie were AWESOME!
Perfect steamy moments: Parker and Kayla’s chemistry was insane!
Most of all, PERFECT emotions and heart touching moments! Yes, Lani Lynn Vale had me once again crying and even sobbing for FOUR freaking times. Sure, one of those was the result of LMAO so hard, but the other three?! She really manages to touch even the coldest of hearts with this beautiful and emotional moments! How could it not? Kayla is Dougie’s orphan baby girl, after all. I soaked up those moments – impossible not to, being LLV fan from the very first series, and where we meet our h, and her background – and memories and every single one of them, I lived right along with her and Parker, that had plenty of his own.
And to top the already perfect story, the PERFECT Epilogue, that left me with a smile on my face and a happy and fuzzy feeling in my heart. It was all just that, PERFECTION!

I wanted her more than I wanted my next breath, and I was going to have her. 
It was inevitable now, and as I dropped my mouth to hers, I realized two things. 
One, I should get saint status for holding out as long as I had. 
Two, I’d never be the same.

Goddamn. I wasn’t just in love with her. I was in love. 
Love like nothing I’d ever felt before. 
Because this felt deeper. Stronger. More visceral. 
Love was just a four-letter word. It didn’t seem like it was adequate enough for what I felt for her. Shouldn’t it be a longer word with more umph to it?

4.5 ‘Easy to Love, Impossible to Leave’ Stars

Nobody does a Single Parent like Claudia Connor does! Single Parent trope Haven I tell you!

What a emotional and touching journey Claudia Connor gave us with Love At Last!

The last thing Clare expected the day after being jilted at the altar, after deciding to go on her ‘honeymoon’, was to meet the sexy veterinary, Dr. Deacon Montgomery. 

Deacon, single parent of twin girls, is fully dedicated to his little ones, so when he meets Clare on the resort he’s staying for a conference, he’s shocked by the connection he instantly feels. Never in a lifetime did he expect to meet a woman that caused him to crave things he had never felt before, or that he thought were even on the cards for him.

He wanted to kiss her more than he’d ever wanted to kiss another woman in his life. He needed his mouth on hers like he needed air. And it was the raw desperation that kept him from moving.

One wide palm stroked down her side and slowly back up like he owned her. Like she was his. What would that be like? To be Deacon’s. To be loved by Deacon?

The chemistry and attraction were undeniable, the soul recognition was beautifully  described, and the unfolding of their connection on those days was naturally written. Their night of passion was palpable and oh so hot…

It had been fireworks, something she’d always thought she wanted. But anything that hot and bright couldn’t last long. Fireworks were just quick, bright bursts that left behind acrid smoke and a dark sky.

But uncontrollable event separates them and leaves them lost and with no way to contact. I will not reveal much, so that I don’t spoil their journey and all the events, but a LOT happens in all whole months of separation, but one thing never changed, their craving for one another – even if when it didn’t seem right – and Deacon’s will to find Clare no matter what. I adored that about him. The reunion is shocking in all senses, but oh so realistically written! Ms. Connor really knows how to pull every single one of our emotions!

Deacon was such an amazing main male character! Totally swoon worthy! His girls were his whole world, until he meets Clare, and every second we witness all those precious moments between him, Macy and Margo, just made us – and Clare – fall more and more in love with him! Who can resist a hot single dad?! 😉

You’ve got to admit there’s something extremely attractive about a single father. Not just that, but a man who clearly adores his little girls. 

Yes, circumstances changed, life took turns and twists until it brought them back together. With all the new elements, unknown to them, they had to adapt and relearn, and even get to truly know each other, but this time, all in ‘real life’, no in the seclusion of a island resort. It wasn’t an easy task, specially with Clare’s deep seated and justified issues given all her failed relationships, plus all the events upon her separation, but Deacon fought for what he wanted, to show how much he wanted her, need her, loved her…

He loved her in ways he never even imagined loving a woman, this beautiful smart, sweet, amazing woman that he was so desperate for in every way one person could be desperate for another.

“You know I don’t have much success with these things.”
 With a small smile, he caressed her cheek.
 “Does anyone? I mean until the last one? The one that doesn’t end?”

Clare had a lot of inner struggle, but all their family and friends did an amazing in helping her, and specially Deacon, that never gave up on his search for her, and in winning her trust, and above all, LOVE!

The character development was, like in all Claudia Connor’s, brilliantly executed. The complexity of the personalities and emotions was flawlessly unparalleled. Not only Clare and Deacon, but all the secondary characters.

All the family moments, all the private ones, all the loving touches, the passionate ones, are seated deep in mind, and warmed my heart. Clare and Deacon’s journey was a unforgettable tale, an epic and oh so realistic forever kind of love.

Her eyes shimmered with tears, and he knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that she was the love of his life. He’d already known it, but it grew. Every minute, every second.

“Though it seems strange to back things up to firsts when we already crossed the finish line.” 
“I wouldn’t say we’ve reached the finish line,” he said seriously. “A victory, a success, yes. Two perfect little people, but definitely not finished.”

Love at Last was truly a emotional, heart touching story! Claudia Connor holds us captive from the very first word to last with the beautifully raw emotions, and genuine storyline. This book is right up there with my all time fav Claudia Connor, Worth The Fall, and that is saying a lot given it’s a standing feature on my all time fav list, best book boyfriend list and my fav single parent list, and what got me hooked on Claudia Connor’s brilliant writing. Love at Last is now on all those features, plus it made me crave even more of these characters, and I’m hoping Ms. Connor will give us some of the secondary characters stories! Pretty please…. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

And didn’t she more than anyone know how rare it was to find a love that made your heart tremble? And if you found it you should grab hold with both hand and not let go.

I found it. I found him. Everything I ever wanted, everything I was always looking for.

Model: Joey Berry

She’s in a white dress that dances around her ankles, and her hair tumbles in a long sheet of curls down her back. A veil covers her beautiful eyes, and she smiles directly at him. Janie is everything Rafe’s ever imagined she would be on her wedding day.

Breathtaking. Gorgeous. Perfect.

The moment he sees her walking down the aisle towards him, he knows that she’s the one.

Then she passes him, making her way to the man she’s to marry.

A man that wasn’t him.

A man that he knows with one hundred percent certainty isn’t good enough for her.

It seems that her father isn’t the only one who’s having a hard time giving her away. Rafe only wishes he knew why.

Everything about Janie sparks protective instincts he doesn’t feel for anyone, not even his own fiancé.

What he feels for the bride, however, isn’t merely a simple attraction. He knows that something is there just beneath the surface…if only he could reach it.

It has to be something huge, too, otherwise he wouldn’t be drinking whiskey straight from the flask in a church pew and wondering how many years he would do in prison if he shot the groom in front of about a hundred witnesses—half of those being cops.

He was good…but not that good.

A near-death experience cost Rafe almost six months of his memory, but right now he can’t help but feel like a huge mistake is being made on both of their parts. One that’s going to cost him everything.

Then she says I do.

HOT DAMN! Well played, Ms. Vale. Well played indeed!!!

With this intense and angsty looking blurb, and knowing Janie and Rafe’s background from the previous books, even after the author’s assurance of no-cheating, I have to confess I was a still a bit scared to dive into these two’s story. Well, after finishing this, and anticipating a major book hungover, I give all kudos to Lani Lynn Vale! I will not give about any spoilers, because the elements of shock and surprise are the best of it. Like the author says in the notes, TRUST her! In the end it all makes sense, and the plot twist?! Wow, I did no see that coming!

The one thing that my heart wanted more than anything else. 
Her. 
Janie.

Today, just now, something happened. He became mine, and I became his. And there was nothing either one of us could do about it.

I seriously had to read this in one sitting with how gripping the events and emotional charged the scenes were from the very first paragraph! I’ll not prolong myself too much, because half the emotional impact is going in blind – just know that there is no cheating, don’t forget – and living every single moment of Rafe and Janie’s feelings, emotions and reactions as they surface! I felt my heart being ripped to shreds and sown back together, and it was all worth it! And as all that these two have been through!

I felt like my heart had just been ripped from my chest. As if someone had reached in, gripped it in their large fist, and squeezed as they ripped.

Kinda Don’t Care was beyond everything I imagined and was praying for. Truly an unforgettable, emotional mega rollercoaster ride! Oh boy, I may need a few days to recover from it. My heart is still palpitating! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

“If you need me there, I will be. As your support, your guide, or even to take that gun from your hand and do it myself. I’ll be there. If I’m not, I’ll get there as fast as I can. The day that I’m not will be the day that I’m dead.”

“I’m a simple man, Janie. I’m a man that lives hard. I’m a man that plays hard. And I’m a man that loves you.”
