Cuffed ~ K. Bromberg ~ New Release and Review

       
From the New York Times bestselling author, K. Bromberg, comes a new series about three brothers, the job that calls them, and the women who challenge them. “I hate you. I never want to see you again.” Grant Malone is not the reason I moved back to Sunnyville—at least that’s what I tell myself. Yet, those parting words I said to him back in third grade, ring in my ears every time a townsperson brings up one of the Malone boys. I thought time had healed my wounds. I was wrong. Nothing could have prepared me for how I felt when I finally saw him again. Twenty years does a lot to turn a boy into a man. One who hits all my buttons—sexy, funny, attractive, and a police officer. But Grant is off limits because he knows too much about my past. But I’m drawn to him. That damn uniform of his doesn’t hurt either. It’ll be my downfall. I know it. What’s one night of sex going to hurt . . . right?
*** I’ve always loved Emmy Reeves. That’s why I’m shocked to see her all these years later. The shy girl I once knew is all grown up. Adventurous and full of life, she owns my heart now, just as much as she did back then. Convincing her of that is a whole different story. I’ll give her the one night she asks for—like that’s a hardship—but when it comes to letting her walk away after, she has another thing coming. There’s no way in hell I’m letting her go this time without a fight.

Could you reconnect with a friend who is intimately tied to the hardest time in your life? How do you move past that connection to forge a new relationship?

Ms Bromberg asks and answers these questions in Cuffed. Emerson and Grant were childhood friends when tragedy separated them at 8 years old. Fast forward 20 years and life brings them back together, but it isn’t easy for either of them.

I appreciated the fact that Ms. Bromberg didn’t brush the history or Emerson’s trauma under the rug. It was almost a 3rd main character to the story - as it should have been. The issues were out there to see, but were handled with grace and compassion.

Yes, this is a romance and follows the expected story arc of connection, deepening relationship, someone screws up, redemption, happy ending. But, Cuffed is also more than that. It’s a friendship story and a survivors story. We also get a glimpse of the ripple effects tragedy can have - and how true heros refuse to let it happen again.

Emerson is an atypical heroine, but I liked her and loved the back and forth she had with Grant and her friend Desi. Grant is an alpha hero with a heart of gold. Getting to meet him makes me look forward to his brother’s stories!

I would offer a word of caution as this might be a trigger book for some people as there are sensitive issues discussed. But, if you are looking for a dynamic, well written couple this would be a good place to start.

She likes to write strong heroines, and damaged heroes who we love to hate and hate 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. Since publishing her first book in 2013, K. has sold over one million copies of her books and has landed on the New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal Bestsellers lists over twenty-five times. In April, she’ll release The Player, the first in a two-book sports romance series (The Catch, book 2, will be released late June), with many more already outlined and ready to be written.
