Kings of Sin meets Things We Left Behind in a gritty, heated romance from New York Times bestselling author K. Bromberg.

Holden
They thought they’d managed to get rid of me once and for all. They thought I’d just forget what they did to my brother. But I’m going to make sure that they never forget. If only I can stop thinking about her.

Rowan
No one sees me. Behind my brother, I’m a ghost, managing the family business that he claims to run. But I’m tired of second fiddle. I’m tired of pretending. I’m going to take what’s mine. The only problem? Well, he just came back to town.

Rowan is the face of the family business, she wants to have a more hands on approach when her family would rather her marry and leave the business to her brother. Rowan isn’t going to go down without a fight. Holden is dead set on revenge to make the ones that destroyed his family pay. He gets everything accounted for but the one thing that he didn’t expect was to see Rowan and how much she had changed. The chemistry, connection and heartache were intense. They start of as enemies, but you slowly see them notice that something else is there. This book does end on a cliffhanger that waiting for the next book is going to be torture.

It takes more than wild promises to get to happily ever after. Especiallyfor us…
I thought my best friend forgot about the marriage pact we made when we were kids.

She didn’t.

See, Tori needs to prove to her dad that she’s committed to staying in our small town and taking over his medical practice. What better way to do that than getting hitched here?

It would benefit me, too. After all, proving to mybrothers that I was committed to running the family business had become a struggle.

So, I agreed to a fake engagement of sorts. And now, I’m in trouble.

Big trouble.

Because being with her like this? It’s made me long to turn our fake relationship into a real one.

Tori is smart. Driven. Distractingly hot. She’s perfect. There’s really only one thing keeping us apart.

Too bad that one thing is me and the fact that I’ll never be good enough for her…

Reading a friends to lovers getting to reignite the spark they had it is the bread to my butter, peanut butter to jelly?. Tori is working in an emergency room in NYC and has lost herself along the way supporting her boyfriends’ goals. Something changes and Tori needs to return to her small town where she hopes to take over her dad’s business when he retires. Xander has the persona that he’s a player that doesn’t take anything serious. Xander has always had feelings for Tori and with her returning They are able to keep their pact from when they were teens might work in their favor. Reading this series has been amazing thus far. I can’t wait for the others and see what else Lea has in store. This was a beautiful story of two friends that truly meant to be.

Finally returning home after years in Paris, ex-model Avery Littlewood never imagined a rerouted flight plan would land her on destiny’s runway. She’s seated next to a gorgeous stranger…and as he shares his story, it’s not long before she discovers why his arresting blue eyes look so familiar. There are several reasons why Beck should be off limits—he lives in Texas; he needs a friend, not a relationship; he’s practically family—but none of that overshadows Avery’s instant attraction for the man the moment she stepped foot on that plane.

Months after his mother’s death, old love letters have given Beck Dahlstrom the courage to seek out the Shaws, the family of the long-deceased father he never knew. He can’t believe his luck when the most gorgeous creature he’s ever seen sits beside him on the plane. When he discovers she’s not only heading to the same small Montana town, but she’s close to his father’s family, it’s more like fate. There are several reasons why Avery should be off limits—she’s considerably younger; they’re from different worlds; her father might kill him just for looking at her—but every glimpse into her stunning turquoise eyes just makes him fall deeper.

Montana, the Shaw family, Avery…all of them soon have Beck enchanted enough to consider big changes. But his life in Dallas also has considerable pull, including a person…or two…unwilling to give up Beck so easily.

Each book in the Love in Montana series can be read as a stand alone. The author highly suggests for a better reading experience you read the books in order.

This book may be love at first sight but its also so much more then that. Avery is returning home after modeling. Her flight back home got delayed and got detoured due to weather. On Avery’s last flight home, she gets seated beside a handsome man named Beck. Beck is instantly awestruck at Avery. During the flight they talk, have great banter. Beck is looking for his late father after just finding out who he was from his mom before she had passed. Avery mentions that she knows the family that he’s looking for and it changes both of their lives for the better. Beck never thought that he would get the chance to meet his family let alone fall in love with a model. While reading you go on an emotional journey that takes you on betrayal, forgiveness, acceptance and heartache.

For as long as I can remember, Lachlan West has been my brother’s best friend and the love of my life. Trouble is, he kissed me four years ago and then never spoke to me again.

I was doing great pretending he doesn’t exist until I was assigned to write an article about former college athletes, and I learn that the sexy single dad is my first interview.

Determined to wow my editor with an amazing sportsball piece—(have I mentioned I know nothing about sports?)—I head to Ember Falls, ready to face my fears—and the man I love.

The grumpy quarterback turned fireman wants nothing to do with me or my article. Yet, somehow I persuade him to let me follow him around for a few weeks, and even if he said yes just to get rid of me, I’ll take it.

But the longer I stay in his small town, the more complicated our story gets. The boundaries we set fall to the ground—along with our clothes.

He holds me like I matter, touches me like I’m cherished and kisses me like he loves me.

We both know I have to leave Ember Falls, and he’ll never follow—I only wish I could write a different ending to our story.

Lachlan is a great single dad that works as a firefighter. Ainsley is a journalist writing a story about Lachlan and how he rescued a girl from a fire. Ainsley and Lachlan haven’t seen one another in years and when she comes back to town and needs somewhere to stay Lachlan takes her in. While living with one another old feelings start to come back and realized they both had feelings for one another all this time. The chemistry and banter between these two are top notch leaving me laughing out loud.
