I know finding and signing a military vet to the agency is a long shot--but it’ll be good press just letting him try out. That’s what I tell my family, rather than admit I can’t get the letter he wrote us five years ago out of my head.
But what I tell the bartender in his hometown is a lie. I know veterans protect each other. So I pretend to be a graduate student.
Sparks. Flame. Fire. I accidentally got in too deep.
I didn’t expect to develop feelings for Gunner Camden.
And there’s no way I can admit to my lies now, not without destroying what we share. So I’ll keep faking it.
***
There are two versions of me: before, and after deployment.
Back then I was a screwup kid. I’d lie, cheat, and steal my way out of everything. My only love was baseball.
After I started fighting, I found out there had been another path for me. One that involved my dream. But by then I had seen too much.The old me was dead, so I put my dreams to rest, too.
Then Chase Kincade walks into my bar and reminds me that life is meant to live. No regrets.
Fresh. Happy. Hopeful. I can start to see a new dream, with her.
But sometimes things are too good to be true… and dishonesty is the one thing I can’t forgive.
Hard to Lose just may be my favorite book in K. Bromberg’s Play Hard series, and it is in large part due to the male lead who is guaranteed to win your heart.
What starts out as Chase determined to find ways to promote her family’s fledgling sports management firm, quickly evolves into a very emotional and engaging story involving a military veteran.
Gunner is a war hero and former pro-baseball hopeful who now devotes his life to serving military families affected by loss. Could the man be more selfless, supportive, and all-around perfect? Apparently, the answer is no. No, he could not.
I absolutely loved Chase and Gunner as a couple. The unique dates, passionate kisses, frank talks, and funny exchanges they share warmed my heart. Gunner’s life story has all the feels. As he lowers his guard more and more to let Chase in, my anxiety regarding her deception increased.
Short chapters make Hard to Lose a quick read yet still a very satisfying love story.

About K. Bromberg
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 and soccer practices, more often than not with her laptop in tow and her mind scattered in too many different directions.
Since publishing her first book on a whim in 2013, Kristy has sold over one and a half million copies of her books across eighteen different countries and has landed on the New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal Bestsellers lists over thirty times. Her Driven trilogy (Driven, Fueled, and Crashed) is currently being adapted for film by the streaming platform, Passionflix, with the first movie (Driven) out now.
With her imagination always in overdrive, she is currently scheming, plotting, and swooning over her latest hero. You can find out more about him or chat with Kristy on any of her social media accounts.
I don’t think I’ve read anything by this author before, but this looks cute. Great review!
I need to read this series! This (and all the rest) sounds good. I just finished another of her series that I loved, so I am more motivated to get to this one.
I’m not sure anything can top her Game on Series but this one is really enjoyable.
Good to know!
