Barrett
The name’s
Barrett Callahan. Yeah, that Barrett Callahan—the one the press dubbed “Bare”
after those naked sexting pictures surfaced. At twenty-five, I was armed with
an MBA from Harvard, an executive position at my father’s Fortune 500 company,
a penthouse, and a different piece of delectable eye candy in my bed every
weekend. I had a life most men dreamed of. But then my father decided to run
for president, and my playboy lifestyle became a liability to his campaign that
was built on family values. My “makeover” comes in the form of a fake fiancée
who I don't even get to choose--one who is an uptight, choirgirl acting priss
but also sexy-as-hell.
Addison
My latest
relationship had gone down in flames, and I was drowning in a sea of student
loans when in true Godfather status, James Callahan made me an offer I couldn’t
refuse. Seven figures for seven months on the campaign trail pretending to be
the adoring fiancée of his son, Barrett. As soon as he won the election, our
engagement would be dissolved amicably for the press, I was free to ride off
into the sunset a million dollars richer, and because of the NDA, no one would
be the wiser. Sure, I’d never met the guy, but I’d been a theater nerd in high
school. I could pull off any role from Lady Macbeth to Maria Von Trapp. But
that was before I met my fake fiancé—the infuriating, self-absorbed,
egotistical, drop-dead-sexy King of the Manwhores.

Lucas Thorn wasn’t born a cheater. All it
took was a single moment—say, a certain disastrous incident on the night before
his wedding—and boom. Reputation destroyed forever and always. So now he owns
it. He has a lady friend for every night of the week (except Sundays—God’s day
and all), and his rules are simple: No commitments. No exceptions.
But a certain smart-mouthed, strawberry
blonde vixen is about to blow that all to hell.
Avery Black has never forgiven Lucas for
cheating on her sister. And suddenly being forced to work with him is pretty
much a nightmare on steroids. Of course, it does afford her the opportunity to
make his life as difficult as possible. But no good revenge scheme comes
without payback. Because he didn’t become the Lucas Thorn without learning a
few things about women.
Now Avery’s lust for vengeance has turned
into, well, lust. And if Lucas stops cheating, it’s definitely not because he’s
falling in love…
Excerpt:
The office building loomed ahead of me. I
squinted up at it, covering my face with part of my hand as the sun cast its
glare against the glass.
“What are we looking at?” Lucas whispered
in my ear.
I let out a little yelp and jumped away
from him, and I would have run into a passing biker if Lucas hadn’t pulled me
out of the way with his coffee-free hand.
“Must you be such a pain in the ass?”
“Must you try to kill me?” I fired back.
He rolled his eyes. “Let’s go.” He
started walking, hauling me with him.
We weren’t walking in the direction of
the office.
“Um, Thorn—”
“I will seriously shove this Starbucks up
that skinny ass if you don’t stop talking and just listen for once in your
life.”
I shut up and followed, but only because
he’d said “Starbucks” and was very purposefully moving in the nearest outpost’s
general direction. If I looked pathetic enough, would he buy me coffee?
That was what my life was coming to.
Pity coffee.
My shoulders slumped at the thought when
we walked into the building. The smell of fresh baked goods hit me with full
force, and my stomach growled loudly, saying to everyone, I’m a hungry bear and
may eat my young. Out of the way, please!
I followed Lucas to the line, still
tempted to speak, but I figured if he wanted noise from me, he’d say something
like, “You may grace me with your voice now, Avery.”
Even though I wasn’t talking, every time
I heard someone order pumpkin bread I sighed, loudly, so loudly that the
barista eyed me cautiously. Chill, Starbucks, I’m not going to steal a piece of
pumpkin bread.
My mouth watered.
I mean, I wasn’t that desperate.
But if I took two, maybe three, steps
toward her, yelled “Fire!” and then screamed nonsense about a bee attacking me,
the pumpkin bread she had in hand would probably fall to the ground, and it
would be wasteful if I didn’t rescue it from the ants.
All creatures deserve food—but pumpkin
bread was too good for ants, too rich, and they’d explode all over the floor
from the richness and it would be my fault—for saving the barista’s life,
right? From the bee?
I think I just confused myself.
“Why are you breathing so heavy?” Lucas
asked from my right.
I snapped out of my pumpkin-bread
daydream and shrugged. “Sorry, low on sleep.”
He gave a noncommittal nod and then it
was his turn, greedy little bastard already had one coffee now he was getting
two! “A venti macchiato and a large coffee with room for cream, two slices—”
I elbowed him hard in the ribs.
“Sorry, um, three slices of pumpkin
bread, thanks.”
He handed the barista his card, while my
greedy eyes locked on the pumpkin bread as the barista placed it into a bag and
gave it to him.
With an exasperated sigh, he shoved the
bag into my hands. “Just leave me one bite.”
“No promises.” I was already digging into
the bag, my mouth watering as I followed him around the counter with a little
pep in my step.
Lucas grabbed our drinks and motioned
toward one of the tables. I sat, stuffed more pumpkin goodness into my mouth,
and managed to chug some coffee almost all at once.
Lucas shook his head. “I always forget
how seriously you take your pumpkin bread.”
I moaned and took another huge bite. “My
theory is this.”
He leaned forward, a smile curving around
his gorgeous mouth. “Alright, out with it.”
More pumpkin bread found its way into my
mouth as I talked—I didn’t even care if I looked like a starved animal.
“Pumpkin bread has the same addictive properties as cocaine.”
“That’s your theory? That it’s a drug?”
“Right.” I sighed and leaned back.
“Except it doesn’t make you skinny, unfortunately.”
His smile widened, and he grabbed a small
hunk of bread. “Want to know my theory?”
“Yes, that’s exactly what I was
thinking—I hope Lucas tells me his theory so I can eat his portion of bread.”
Lucas scooted the bag toward me and
whispered, “Merry Christmas.”
“Oh, pumpkin gods.” I moaned again.
His eyes darted to my mouth.
“What?” I wiped my lips. “Is something on
my face?”
“No.” He looked away. “So my theory is
this . . . pumpkin flavoring is a conspiracy by the government to see how many
ways we can market a flavor and make money off it.”
“Boo.” I gave him a thumbs-down. “Thanks,
grinch. Oh, and stop ruining holidays.”
He smirked. “You’ve known forever that
Santa isn’t real. Still doesn’t stop you from leaving him cookies every
Christmas Eve, then sneaking downstairs and eating them all by yourself.”
“One”—I held up a finger—“it’s genius
because nobody will touch them for fear that I’ll get mad. Two”—I held up a
second finger—“when everyone else is sad about the Christmas cookies being
gone, I know I’ll have them all to myself. It’s like . . .” I sighed, “. . . a
Christmas present. To myself.”
“Except for that one time.” He smirked.
“Cruel man.” I glared at him. “How dare
you eat my cookies?”
He shrugged. “They were sweet.”
Was it hot? In this little Starbucks? By
the window where the sun was searing me alive like I was under a magnifying
glass?
I tugged at my sleeveless blouse.
“About Saturday . . .”
Uncomfortable conversation, here we come!
I strapped in and waited for the inevitable. And then realized, to my dismay,
that he’d just bought me coffee and food without letting me go to the office.
My eyes filling with tears, I shook my
head a few times. “Lucas, I may give you crap, but I really need this job.”
He frowned, like he was confused.
“Don’t say another word.” I held out my
hands. “I’ll do anything, Lucas—and I mean anything—to keep this job. I wasn’t
kidding when I said my parents were chomping at the bit to get me to move home,
and I don’t want to. It’s not just about me being defiant; they want me to take
over the family business.”
Lucas burst out laughing and then
sobered. “Oh, you’re serious.”
“I can’t sell chicken, Thorn.”
“I mean, to be fair, Avery, your parents
own a very lucrative organic meats company. I’m sure they could offer you at
least five figures.” His smile was way too smug, but I still had to be nice to
him rather than throw him off a cliff, because he could fire me.

Out Now! Review Sweet Rivalry by: K. Bromberg
Ryder Rodgers had a plan.
He was going to stride into the conference room, do the required song and dance over the next five days, and win the biggest contract of his career. But when he walked in and heard the voice of one of his competitors, all his plans were shot to hell.
Harper Denton. She was always on top. In college. First in their class. Always using every advantage to edge him out to win the coveted positions. The only one who could beat him. His academic rival. More like a constant thorn in his side. And his ego’s.
When he heard her voice, he was brought back to years before. To the bitter taste of being second best. But the woman who meets his gaze is nothing like the drab wallflower he used to know. Hell no. She was all woman now: curves, confidence, and staggering sex appeal. And no doubt, still brilliant.
The fact that she’s gorgeous and bright won’t distract him. This time, Ryder’s determined to be the one on top. But not if Harper can help it.
My Review (ARC provided)
5 stars!
I want more!! This book was everything I wanted plus. We had a smart feisty heroine (Harper) and smart sexy hero (Ryder). The chemistry and sexual tension between the two was palpable and had me turning the pages until the end. I loved their banter and the realism a woman has to face in a "mans" work place. There isn't anything I didn't like about this story.
Another thing I really liked about this book was that for how short it was I wasn't left with unanswered questions. The prologue set up their rivalry perfect so I knew exactly what I was getting into.
The only thing is that I wanted more of Harper and Ryder! I could definitely read a full length novel about the two of them.
I highly recommend!

Work first. Reward sex next. That’ll give me something to look forward to during the next few days. The ones I can’t wait to dive headfirst into that will be an ever-changing combination of stress, exhaustion, strategy, and manipulation. An unscripted dance amongst us bidders while we size each other up, calculate our numbers, and explain to the developer why we’re the most valuable candidate for the job. It’s the game I love. The competition I thrive on. My return to the job that I’ve been desperate to make. And there’d be no better way to make a statement that Harper Denton is back than to leave this building with the multimillion dollar contract for Meteor Development tucked securely under my arm. And just like that, as a reward for my positive thinking, when I look up, there he is, in full view. I take in the expensive briefcase, the venti Starbucks, and the expensive watch peeking out from beneath the cuff of his shirt. And just my luck that while I’m afforded a full view of his body, the one thing I’m the most curious about is obscured by his hand holding his cell phone up to his ear: his face. So instead I drink him in. He really is magnificent. I note his posture and the way he carries his body when he moves forward a few steps. There’s an air about him that says he’s no-nonsense and in control, powerful, and at the same time he doesn’t seem uptight. He has that Southern California professional vibe. I can’t put my finger on it but he reminds me of someone I can’t quite place. Regardless, a man who can pull off being in control and playful has definite merits. Like “spank me until my body aches in want, and then make a game of hitting each erogenous zone with his tongue before he’ll satisfy that ache he created and let me come” type of merits. The mind-blowing-sex reward just became even more appealing.
New York Times Bestselling author K. Bromberg writes contemporary novels that contain a mixture of sweet, emotional, a whole lot of sexy, and a little bit of real. She likes to write strong heroines, and damaged heroes who we love to hate and hate to love. She’s a mixture of most of her female characters: sassy, intelligent, stubborn, reserved, outgoing, driven, emotional, strong, and wears her heart on her sleeve. All of which she displays daily with her husband and three children where they live in Southern California. On a whim, K. Bromberg decided to try her hand at this writing thing. Since then she has written The Driven Series (Driven, Fueled, Crashed, Raced, Aced), the standalone Driven Novels (Slow Burn, Sweet Ache, Hard Beat, and Down Shift), and a novella (UnRaveled). She is currently finishing up Sweet Cheeks a standalone novel out November 14th. Her plans for 2017 include a sports romance duet (2 books: The Player, The Catch) and the Everyday Heroes series (3 books: Cuffed, Combust, and Cockpit). She’s also writing a novella for the 1,001 Dark Night series that will be out in February 2017. She loves to hear from her readers so make sure you check her out on social media.
