Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

New York Times Bestselling author K. Bromberg writes contemporary romance 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 but can’t help to love.

A mom of three, she plots her novels in between school runs, sports practices, and figuring out how to navigate parenting teenagers (send more wine!). More often than not, she does all of this with her laptop in tow, and her mind daydreaming of the current hero she is writing.

Since publishing her first book on a whim in 2013, Kristy has sold over two million copies of her books across twenty different countries and has landed on the New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal Bestsellers lists over thirty times. Her Driven trilogy has been adapted for film and is available on the streaming platform Passionflix as well as Amazon.

You can find out more about Kristy, her books, or just chat with her on any of her social media accounts. The easiest way to stay up to date on new releases and upcoming novels is to sign up for her newsletter or follow her on Bookbub.

    A gripping love story that captivated me from the very beginning and never let go. A devastatingly beautiful romance that is powerfully inspiring, emotionally raw, and breathtakingly romantic. An unforgettable masterpiece with so much heart and soul that that I fell deeper in love with the characters and their epic love story with each turn of the page. Two broken souls who find the missing piece that makes them feel whole again. A beautiful, strong, and resilient heroine and a complex, fiercely protective and determined hero. Their chemistry is magnetic and undeniable. Their exchanges are witty and they spar so well with one another. The storyline is incredibly well-written and flowed seamlessly with twists and turns that are a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Their journey together was so beautifully written and I felt every emotion experienced – they radiated from the pages. I laughed, cried so many tears (happy and sad), felt the butterflies, the heart palpitations, the pure joy and every ounce of pain. The heartfelt moments stole my breath and the heartbreaking ones shattered my heart. Their relationship is tested and how they fight for one another was breathtaking. The wisdom interlaced throughout was inspiring. A powerful story of love, faith and forgiveness that left a mark on my heart and soul. This book is worth of 10 brilliant stars and one of my top reads of all time. I highly recommend reading this stunning love story!

    I enjoyed this story!! The characters, the plot, the mystery, and the romance kept me up late into the night reading.

    I really liked Jack! He was sweet, charming, determined, protective, challenging. I was glad he helped Tate and pushed her, yet gave her space when she needed it. Yes, I figured out his secret early on, but that’s ok. I still loved seeing it all unfold.

    Tate did get on my nerves with her attitude and stubbornness, but I couldn’t blame her really since she had been dealt a crappy hand and was just trying to protect herself. I liked her determination, her strength, and courage to do what everyone else thought she’d fail at.

    All in all, this was an enjoyable read. Thank you Kristy for the copy. This is my honest review.

    Once again K. Bromberg has hit it out of the park. Great characters, I didn’t want the story to end. I could say I couldn’t put it down but I kept doing that so I could enjoy it a little longer. Can’t wait for her next book. Love, love, love her books.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 8, 2020
    Tatum had always lived by her fathers strict rules he wanted her to have a position in the family business and to marry a man chosen by him . That was not in Tatum’s plan she wanted to peruse a different career path and to marry Fletcher who she was madly in love with . Infuriated by her decision to leave home with Fletcher , she’s told by her father that if she goes then her monthly allowance and any further inheritance would be stopped ,needless to say she doesn’t stay . Tatum & Fletcher get married they also buy a farm with intention of turning it into a stud farm that Fletcher would run which would leave Tatum to peruse her love of photography . For a while things were looking good for the newly weds, but it doesn’t last, soon the cracks start to appear in the marriage , eventually Tatum realises that Fletcher is not the man she thought he was . The story has its fare share of personal tragedy for Tatum one being that Fletcher is killed in a car accident . From that point things go from bad to worse , now widowed, Tatum finds out just what her husband had been doing with the finances sadly now she’s in danger of loosing the farm . Trying to keep her head above water Tatum is in desperate need of a farm manager that’s when the gorgeous Jack Sutton knocks on her door to apply for the job , little does she know that his arrival will turn her life upside down , but in a good way . Jack seems to have the golden touch but his arrival at the farm is not as random as he’s made it out to be ...... Both Tatum & Jack have secrets that they are keeping from one another but it’s plain to see that they both are falling in love with one another . As we know secrets don’t stay secret for long when all secrets are revealed can there be a HEA for Tatum & Jack ? ........ I think you can guess the answer 😉😍😍.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Puh, das hat sich über Wochen hingezogen
    Reviewed in Germany on September 12, 2020
    Das war nicht das erste Buch dieser Autorin, dass ich gelesen habe.
    Ich mag sonst ihre Bücher! Aber dieses hier?
    😳

    Ich gebe wirklich ungern nur zwei Sterne, aber mehr sind beim besten Willen nicht drin.
    Das war das erste Buch, für das ich wirklich ewig gebraucht habe, um es zu hören beziehungsweise zu lesen.

    Die Sprecherin des Audiobooks hat mit dazu beigetragen, dass das ein ziemlich nerviges Hörerlebnis wurde.
    Das lag an ihrer Satz-Betonung und an der Rolle, die sie verkörpert hat:
    Die weibliche Hauptrolle ging mir wirklich auf den Keks.

    In diesen blöden COVID – Zeiten, in denen man dankbar um alles Positive und Aufmunternde ist, war das absolut nichts für mich.

    Der männliche Protagonist kommt auf die Ranch, weil er seinen sterbenden Vater ein Versprechen gab.
    Es wird angedeutet, dass er der weiblichen Hauptfigur nicht die Wahrheit sagen möchte, aber sonst soll man im Unklaren gelassen werden.

    Eigentlich kann man sich ziemlich früh selber ausdenken, um was es sich dreht. Nichts besonders Überraschendes.
    Die Geschichte zieht sich hin und hin und bis knapp vorm Schluss weiß der Leser zwar, um welches Geheimnis es sich handelt, es wird aber erst sehr spät aufgeklärt.

    Ich bin froh, dass ich mit diesem Buch fertig bin.
    Wenn man sich das Nachwort das Autorin durchliest, die darin beschreibt, wie sie mit der Geschichte gehadert hat, kann man das als Leser komplett nachvollziehen. So ging es mir die ganze Zeit auch.

    Fazit: Wenn man auf der Suche nach was ist, das einem die Stimmung verbessern soll, sollte man nicht zu diesem Buch greifen.
