Review: Hard to Lose by K. Bromberg
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.

Marriage and Murder is the second book in the Solving for Pie series, and while it is loosely tied to the first book, it can be read as a standalone. Readers of the Winston Brothers series may enjoy it more though.
What an unexpected delight! I indulged in page after charming page of Act Your Age, Eve Brown and came away a supremely satisfied reader.
Hard to Score is the third book in the Play Hard series and I’m really enjoying getting to know the four Kincade sisters.
The Ravenhood series was only intended to be a duet. I devoured Flock and Exodus. The plot is unique, riveting, and twisted, but they are not easy reads. I managed to keep my sanity intact, however, with the help of some Tums, screamed obscenities, wine, and therapy sessions courtesy of Facebook spoiler groups. The Finish Line was going to be an extended epilogue but it turned into a full-length novel. Some epilogues are simply a nice bonus, but this book? I had no idea just how much I needed to read it.
Christina Hovland is an author who is new to me, but I was drawn to the adorable cover and then the synopsis hooked me. I love it when I take a gamble on an unfamiliar author and it pays off. Rachel, Out of Office is a witty and supremely satisfying contemporary romance.
I keep falling more and more in love with the True North world that Sarina Bowen has created. The charming Vermont location, the close-knit Shipley clan, the farm life, and the food — THE FOOD!!! — keep me coming back for more. Roommate is about an extended member of the Shipley family, Kieran.
89 pages packed full of perfection! One More Round is like one big nuanced and completely satisfying epilogue to Caroline and Simon’s love story. It’s been at least five years since I read the books that made me a fan so some of the details were fuzzy, but this novella does a superb job interweaving key highlights without it sounding like mundane exposition.
“I placed two layers of duct tape over Layla’s mouth before I came downstairs, but I can still hear her muffled screams as the detective takes a seat at the table.” The very first sentence in Layla had me instantly covered in goosebumps, fully invested in the story. I knew Colleen Hoover had a darker side after reading her phenomenal thriller Verity, and I was all too happy to be sucked into her vortex of romantic suspense once again — this time with a paranormal spin.
First of all, hallelujah for a romance involving mature adults! Women don’t cease to be desirable the moment they turn 40. Their sex drive doesn’t just shrivel up and die. Elsie is 42 and just starting to hit her sexual stride. Can I get an Amen? But I digress.
Thank you, K.A. Tucker, for this wonderful treat! I absolutely loved The Simple Wild duet and this novella made me want to read the series all over again.
Jewel E. Ann’s Jack & Jill trilogy remains one of my all-time favorites. It’s unique, suspenseful, funny, tragic, and romantic. While I hated saying goodbye to the characters I’d grown to adore, the ending was so satisfying that I didn’t dare ask for more. When I found out Jewel was writing Out of Love as a spinoff, my first thought was, “Don’t f*ck it up!” And she didn’t.
