Release Day: 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.
He takes a step toward me then
hesitates, but before I can process anything else, his lips are on
mine. And not just on mine––not just a brush of lips
against lips—but I’m talking all in. Hands on my cheeks, tongue
licking between my lips, body pressed against mine, groan in the back
of his throat, type of all in. I don’t react at first. I’m
stunned. Flabbergasted, my mind reeling from the anger to the
surprise to now this without any warning at all. This is Ryder. My
rival. My supporter. My crush. The thoughts flicker that this is what
I’ve wanted. But they soon shift to panic. To insecurity I don’t
kiss well enough. That this is all a joke and I’m the butt of it.
But then I feel. Everything. All at once. And I know this is
real. It’s like I can’t catch my breath and have too much air all
at the same time. My body is on fire. And not just from his touch but
from that burn deep inside that feels like it’s exploding and
imploding all at once. So this is what it feels like to really
be kissed. It’s a fleeting thought before the sensations, the
moment, the emotions, consume me whole. His hands move my face to
change the angle of the kiss. His fingertips on the line of my jaw
singe my skin. His lips move expertly against mine, and all I can do
is feel. All I can do is want. Thinking isn’t an option. The anger
from before has morphed to want. The adrenaline has recharged with
desire. There is no rivalry. There is no graduation ceremony tomorrow
I’m missing to catch my flight. There is no panic over if I’ll
ever see him again. It’s just him. And me. The scent of his cologne
in my nose. The heat of his body against mine. The taste of hunger in
his kiss.
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.
