Sweet Rivalry by K. Bromberg Review & Excerpt Tour #bookreview #exceprt #trailer #1001DarkNights

   

 

 

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.

Excerpt

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.

My Sweet Rivalry Review . . .

I adore K. Bromberg and this was a super quick, easy read about second chances.   Ryder and Harper were competitors in school to the very end.  However that didn't stop Ryder from being attracted the shy but fierce Harper.

Now 13 years later and they are still in competition with one another but now the stakes are more.

All Harper knows is how to win, but Ryder is different.  Though that doesn't stop her from fighting to win once again.

Is the game that important to her she can't say hi to an old friend?  Typical Harper.  She looks like heaven but is still cold as hell. 

Ryder knows there is more to Harper then she lets on, but it won't be an easy feat to win her over.
Will the win be worth it?

"Thirteen years, Harper."  His voice resonates with conviction.  "I've waited thirteen years to finish that kiss with you.  To do it again."

The story wasn't too deep as most novellas, but it was still filled with a good balance of tension, angst and passion. 

3 . 5 Second Chances thumbs up!
