Blog Tour - Hard to Handle by K Bromberg

Hard to Handle, book one in the Play Hard series, an all new series of standalone books by New York Times bestselling author, K. Bromberg, is LIVE!

At first, the request seemed simple—sign a new athlete to the agency. Then I found out the new athlete was none other than the most wanted man in hockey today: Hunter Maddox

Gifted. Sexy. At the top of his game. And the only man who has ever broken my heart. If signing him will help save our family business, I’ll swallow my pride and do what’s asked.

But when it becomes clear his uncharacteristic antics off the ice are a hint of something deeper, keeping things strictly professional between us becomes more than complicated.

But I know better than to cross that line.

I’ll never date a client. Not even for him.

*** Win the Stanley Cup and do it before time runs out.

Not a small feat, but it’s what’s motivated me since the start of my career.

And time is running out.

Enter Dekker Kincade.

Feisty. Dogged. Damn gorgeous. The one I let get away.

I have no idea why she’s traveling with the team, but hell if resisting her is going to be easy.

But I have a job to do, and I refuse to lose sight of that end game. Even if she confuses me. Even if she sees parts of me I’ve hidden from the world.

I can’t lose focus. Not even for her.

Amy's 5 Star Review

If there is one story that will stick with me for a while it is Hunter and Dekker's story their story is so broken especially for Hunter who is living his life full of guilt and heartache he doesn't live for himself but rather his twin brother who is a quadriplegic his whole hockey career is built on a promise he's made to his brother.

Dekker and Hunter have history even if it was just between the sheets but she knew then he wasn't ready for a relationship and now three years later and with her fathers failing agency she is given the task of signing Hunter to her agency and keep her feelings at bay but Hunter is on a destructive path, he's hard to handle but she won't give up on him, she just needs to get his head back in the game and not the sheets, will history repeat it's self or will he break Dekker because his guilt is too strong.

This book will pull you apart but Dekker is a breath of fresh air in this book and Hunter knows he's lucky to have such an amazing support from her! It's a gut wrenching, sexy, emotional read.

K.Bromberg can hit every emotion when writing a book and its always an honour to read her books <3

Excerpt:

I stare at Hunter. At his shirt plastered with sweat and how it clings to his body, despite the chill of the ice his skates are standing on. He has his warm-up pants on and is without a helmet, his hair curling at the ends from the sweat. And all I see in his eyes is anger I didn’t put there. Or maybe I did. Rejection can do that to a man . . . but there’s something more here. Something I walked in on that doesn’t make sense. “Don’t give me that look, Kincade,” Hunter mutters as he skates over to the penalty box where his electrolyte drink sits. “What look?” I ask. He half laughs, half snorts and meets my gaze across the distance. “Disappointment. Disproval. Disdain. I’m the king of all of them, so save your breath—or in this case—your glare, because it’s not going to work with me.” “Are we working on emotions that start with the letter D today?” I ask. A hint of my embarrassment and anger over how I acted last night creeps into my voice, but I mask it with sarcasm. “If that’s the case, I’m more than impressed with your answers thus far.” He clenches his jaw in response and then skates back over to line up more pucks so he can shoot them. And he does, one after another, each shot taken with laser precision and a healthy dose of fury behind it. He goes through the first ten lined up and then stops to catch his breath. His talent and skill are undeniable, but so is the beer bottle in my hand. “Just because you’re the captain and star of this team, doesn’t mean management won’t frown upon this,” I say, unable to let this go. “Screw the management.” “No one likes a player who’s hard to handle and honestly, Hunter, you’re becoming hard to handle.” “No one likes unsolicited advice from someone who has no bearing on his career, either,” he counters, the rebuke stinging but deserved. The problem is, I do care about him. Doesn’t he get that’s where my hostility stems from? And only a crazy person would say that, Dekker. I put my hands up in surrender to both him and my own thoughts. “You know I only want the best for you.” I take a few steps in his direction in the first row of the stands. I’m close enough to catch the hitch of his movement and to see uncertainty flicker in his eyes. It’s almost as if he needs to talk but doesn’t see me as someone he can trust. I hate that. “What is it, Hunter?” “Nothing. It’s . . . never mind.” But I see it, and he knows I see it. The question is what do I see, though?

Meet 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.

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.
