This is my first book by K. Bromberg and it definitely won't be my last! I was absolutely sucked into this book. I read half of it in one sitting! A billionaire romance with a secret revenge plot, hidden identity, tortured hero and fierce FMC? Yes, please! K. Bromberg gives us all of this in a gritty and heated story that keeps you reading well into the night.

The writing style is so well done. The storyline, the character development, the angst, the steam, were all amazing. K. Bromberg was able to weave together the overall plot and the spice perfectly, so that one didn't overtake the other. I loved the dual pov as well, as it gave us an ideal amount of insight into each character. The highlighting and challenging of misogyny and corruption throughout the story were interesting to read as the character's tried to navigate their way through these tough issues.

Rowan is such a great FMC. She's born into a wealthy family, and part of elite society, but fights against the notion that women should be seen and not heard. She's aware of the privilege that she has, but she doesn't look down on others and deeply cares about helping people. In everything Rowan does, you can see how smart, and hardworking she is. We love a woman who's tough and always ready to fight for what she believes in.

Holden Knight. Remember that name because he will be your next book boyfriend. I'll be honest, I did not like Holden in the beginning. I felt he was very arrogant and rude, and seemed to perpetuate the same misogyny displayed by Rowan's family. But, boy did he grow on me! He's mysterious, he's broody, and he came to play chess, not checkers! Learning his backstory was heartbreaking, and opened up a whole new facet of who he is. He was my favorite character to learn about and watch grow because there is just so much depth to him. And I completely support his revenge plan!

Together, Rowan and Holden were chef's kiss. Their chemistry is off the charts! The tension between them was palpable every time they were on the page together, and the banter? Top tier. Watching them slowly let down their walls and open up to each other gave me butterflies. This is a slow burn, so it takes a bit for them to get together, but the payoff is well worth it.

Now when K. Bromberg said in her bio that she makes you work for the happily ever afters, I should've been prepared, but alas, I was not. I think I actually screamed when I read the last sentence. That ending had me on the edge of my seat, and I'm waiting with bated breath for book two. Everything does not get wrapped up in book one, so be prepared for the ride! Overall, I highly enjoyed this book and can't wait for the next one!

A book about business, family, revenge and everything in between. Rowan is part of her family business, she unlike some of her family members works very hard and wants this business to succeed more than anything. She is very surprised when she finds out her brother has decided to sell part of it. Holden came from nothing and is now beyond successful. He is buying a failing business, for him this is more than business it’s about revenge. Holden has secrets on top of his secrets and he isn’t sharing with anyone. The only thing he does share is some incredible chemistry with Rowan. This had a killer cliffhanger and more questions to be answered.

The push and pull of tension and the desire to dominate are strong in this romance. The chemistry between Holden and Rowan can be felt immediately as they fight their attraction. The relationship between Rowan and her brother and his friend is frustrating to say the least, but that sends her into Holden's arms and just when you think you know where it's going it ends on a cliffhanger. I can't wait to read more of this fated love story. I listened to the audiobook and it's very well done.

I recently finished Twisted Knight, and I have to say, it was a captivating read that kept me hooked from start to finish. The story revolves around Holden and Rowan, two characters whose lives are intertwined by past traumas and present desires, creating a compelling narrative filled with tension and undeniable chemistry.

One of the things I loved most about this book is the character development. Holden is such a complex figure, driven by a fierce sense of justice and loyalty. I found myself relating to his internal struggles as he navigated the delicate balance between vengeance and love, especially in his evolving relationship with Rowan. Their dynamic was electric, and I could feel the tension between them throughout the story.

Bromberg’s writing style really drew me in. She has a way of creating immersive and evocative scenes that balance high-stakes moments with quieter, introspective ones. The pacing felt just right—there were no dull moments, and I was always eager to see what would happen next. The small-town setting added an intimate layer to the story, amplifying themes of entrapment and the weight of past decisions.

What stood out to me was how Bromberg explored heavy themes like betrayal and familial expectations. The flashbacks were seamlessly woven into the narrative, providing essential context without disrupting the flow. This thoughtful structure allowed me to fully grasp the complexities of Holden and Rowan's relationship while building suspense leading up to a dramatic cliffhanger.

Overall, Twisted Knight was an enthralling read that beautifully combined romance with deeper themes of identity and revenge. While it did touch on familiar tropes within the billionaire romance genre, Bromberg managed to infuse it with originality and emotional depth. I’m definitely looking forward to the next installment in this series! I’d give it a solid four stars!

I was absolutely hooked by Twisted Knight from the very first page! K. Bromberg has once again delivered an intense, passionate, and gripping romance that I couldn’t put down. This book has everything I love—drama, angst, slow-burn chemistry, and a perfectly executed enemies-to-lovers dynamic. If you’re a fan of Bromberg’s work, you know she knows how to craft a story that keeps you on the edge of your seat, and Twisted Knight is no exception.

The story follows Rowan Rothchild, a determined and smart woman who is ready to step out of her family's shadow and take control of their billion-dollar spirits company. Raised in a town with outdated views on women’s roles, Rowan is fighting for her place in a male-dominated world. Her biggest obstacle? Her brother Rhett, who decides to sell a significant chunk of the business to Holden Knight, a mysterious and driven tech mogul with a personal vendetta.

Holden may have once been the poor boy from the wrong side of town, but he’s no longer that guy. Now a powerful figure, his plan for revenge is to take over the Rothchild family business—and to make Rhett pay. What he doesn’t expect, though, is how deeply he’ll become entangled with Rowan. Their late-night encounters and constant bickering lead to an undeniable attraction that neither of them can ignore. But with emotions running high, Holden is left wondering whether his desire for revenge will overshadow what he feels for Rowan.

Rowan is a total girl boss, and I loved her for it. Despite coming from a town where her ambitions as a woman were constantly challenged, she was determined to prove everyone wrong. She knew her worth, wasn’t afraid to fight for her place, and never let anyone stand in her way. What made her even more compelling was that she was willing to put in the hard work to achieve her goals—unlike her lazy, entitled brother. She was everything I could root for in a heroine!

As for Holden, he was the epitome of a brooding, cocky, and ridiculously hot hero. He oozed "boss" energy but did so in a way that didn’t make him obnoxious—there was just something so magnetic about him. His past was complicated and filled with pain, and as his motivations for revenge unfolded, I found myself understanding and empathizing with him on a much deeper level. It was clear that even though he came into this situation wanting to get back at the Rothchilds, Rowan was slowly breaking down his walls, and that made for some truly satisfying character growth.

The chemistry between Rowan and Holden? Off the charts. The tension between them was absolutely electric, with the slow build-up making every interaction more delicious than the last. The banter was hilarious, the sexual tension palpable, and their jealousy and possessiveness over each other just made the whole dynamic even more addicting. This is one of the best enemies-to-lovers builds I’ve read in a while, and the payoff was worth every bit of slow-burn tension.

Honestly, Twisted Knight was a wild ride from start to finish. I was so invested in Rowan and Holden’s story that I couldn’t put it down, but I do have to admit, that cliffhanger? K. Bromberg, how could you?! It left me dying to know what happens next, and I can’t wait for the continuation of their story. I truly believe they deserve a happily ever after, and Holden—well, he definitely deserves some justice.

If you’re a fan of steamy romance, tension-filled banter, and a truly satisfying enemies-to-lovers plot, Twisted Knight is a must-read. I can’t recommend it enough

“You’ll find I don’t care much about norms. Or rules. I don’t like to be boxed in. When I want something, I go after it.”

This story took me for a ride! I went in completely blind, and was absolutely enthralled with the lies and deception that unfolded as the story played out. In a town where perception and status matters, all is not as it seems when Holden Knight waltzes into Rowan’s world, throwing an even bigger wrench into her tumultuous relationship with her family and their failing business. He is arrogant yet charming, is ruthless in all things business, yet he seems to be the only one that truly sees Rowan for everything that she is.

“To be intrigued by her is one thing. To be attracted to her? That’s a whole other Pandora’s box I’m not ready to open.”

Rowan was so damn smart and capable, but no one in her family saw her for anything more than a pretty face, truly the face of the company, but nothing else. And while Rowan may have been charmed by Holden, there’s one big problem, Holden had revenge to seek and nothing would stand in his way to finally getting his vengeance. The flashbacks to his past absolutely ripped my heart out of my chest and stomped all over it, each one giving one more piece to the puzzle of his life and what truly happened to cause him to become so cold. This book was the perfect mix of forbidden romance and steamy scenes to keep me enthralled right up until the last page! Looking forward to the seeing what happens after that cliffhanger!

“In the boardroom, you can spar with me. Question me. Try to tell me what to do. In here. In the bedroom? I’m in control. Of your pleasure. Of your orgasms.”

Plot ♾️⭐️
Spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️

This was my first K. Bromberg book and TBH I wasn’t gonna apply for the ARC as the cover didn’t really catch my eye. However I read the blurb and it sounded good, plus I love the enemies to lovers, revenge, alpha-hero tropes so I decided to sign up … and holy mother of god I’m so glad I did!! This book is definitely in my top reads of 2024. The only negative I can give is that I didn’t realize it ends on a cliffhanger which is my fault for not knowing.

First let’s start off with our FMC, Rowan. This woman has sass, bite, smarts, and a drive to take over her families business. Even if it’s in the hands of her idiot brother who only gets it because of what’s between his legs. To lay it out for you, where Rowan is from the patriarchy is alive and everyone is still living in a world where women are meant to look pretty, carry babies, attend luncheons, and serve their husbands … the total opposite of EVERYTHING Rowan stands for. Oh and the man that’s supposed to love Rowan is her brother’s best friend and his little lap dog that does whatever he’s asked even if it hurts Rowan. Needless to say I’m so not a fan of either of those two asshats.

Now onto Holden who’s come back to his hometown to get revenge on those who ruined his family. He didn’t grow up rich, he grew up on the wrong side of the tracks. No one remembers him or his family, the rich don’t remember what’s beneath them in this town. But they want to know the Holden of now, the one who’s made a name for himself, the ones that’s rich, little do they know that he plans on taking them down. What Holden didn’t plan on was Rowan. She’s nothing like the rest of them and she’s the one distraction he can’t afford.

I absolutely DEVOURED this book. Rowan and Holden are definitely a slow burn but the chemistry between them is palpable and I am so invested in their story. You could feel the jealousy radiating off these characters when the other was near someone of the opposite sex. There was so much going on in this book from past to present and what’s going to happen next that it had my emotions all over the freaking place. I don’t know when book 2 is coming out but you can bet your ass that I’ll be pouncing on it the second it does.

I need book two NOW!!!

Rowan has always been underestimated and is out to prove there is more to her than people realize.

Holden has held onto a grudge for a very long time and is ready to exact his revenge. However, he did not plan on Rowan, or rather, who Rowan is today.

Kristy does a really great job of blending the tension and chemistry between Holden and Rowan as well as their opposing goals for Rowan's family's business.

I love that this was a page-turner from the start and kept that momentum til the very end. And then left me wanting more, so much more immediately. I cannot wait for book two.

Este libro fue espectacular para mi, no esperaba que fuera a gustarme demasiado.
Los personajes principales son increíbles:
**Rowan (la protagonista) viene de una familia de mucho mucho dinero y poder y que por supuesto no consideran su voz dentro del negocio familiar por ser mujer a pesar de todo el esfuerzo y trabajo duro que realiza.
**Holden (OMG!!! Lo amo eternamente) es el nuevo director ejecutivo de la empresa familiar de Rowan y está dispuesto a tomar venganza por lo que le sucedió años atrás.
La química es inmediata pero el odio entre ambos es inicialmente grande.

Sentí demasiada empatía por el pasado de Holden y los motivos que lo llevan a toma desiciones drásticas en el presente.

Lo leí super rápido y la manera de escribir de la autora me encanta!
Pero uff ese final! Aaaahhhhh ya quiero en este momento la continuación, me dejó con la boca atorada jaja.

Gracias al equipo de ValentinePR por este ARC, lo ame y estoy ansiosa por la continuación!!

I consider myself a well read connoisseur of the billionaire romance genre and I can tell this series is going to be one of my go to reads. Holden Knight is delectable. I love that book 1 provided his back story because it helps make him a well rounded character.

Oh Rowan. She makes you want to root for her and she has some great moments in the book.

So as mentioned above it is book 1 of a series. However, I feel it’s only fair to warn it is not a series of interconnected standalone where you get a happily ever after at the end of each book. The story line in book 1 does end on a cliffhanger and my oh my what a cliffhanger it is!

I will absolutely be picking up book 2 as soon as it’s published as I’m dying to know what happens next!

This was an enjoyable read with characters that had depth.
There were no lulls and every plot point you could tell was written with purposes as were the scenes with spice. Everything was there to move the story along which was so appreciated.
I loved getting to know more about Holden- and his back story gives us readers an understanding (even if it’s just a glimpse) as to why he is the way he is.
So curious to see how this plays out with the next book!

Kristy has done it again and I love her books so much. She kills it every time.

I am a sucker for a good revenge plot line and man was this so freaking good. I loved Rowan and Holden together. The banter and tension between these two was so fun. I also love secret relationships and high stakes forbidden romance.

I truly think this is my favorite K. Bromberg book there was just something about this tory that stuck with me. I loved it. Though it does end on a bit of a cliff hanger, don't let that steer you away from picking this one up!

Did I want to die when I realized this wasn't a standalone? Yes. But that was my own fault for not paying attention.... I was hooked by the end of this book and the cliffhanger had me gasping! I loved the enemies to lovers vibe, and the chemistry between Rowan and Holden was palpable. I didn't think I was super into the corporate romance vibes, but this was perfect. I literally can't wait for the next book to satisfy my curiosity!

Y'all this is SO entertaing! You couldn't have asked for better se*y banter!! The charcters are fabulous, mysterious. It's an enemies to lovers, workplace romance like you've never read!
I'm totally LOVING it!!! Savoring it. When I finally get to read at the end of the day it's like a treat. LOVING!!!!!!

I really liked this book! I love Rowan and Holden. They have such great banter with each other. I do think this book was a bit slow at the beginning, which is what kept it from a full 5 star read. I liked the story and how it is centered around her family's liquor company. It's a great workplace romance. After the cliffhanger it leaves off on, I need the next book now!

Anything written by K. Bromberg is an absolute hit in my opinion!

I enjoyed this book so much! After reading her Full Throttle series I was extremely excited for this new series! Definitely loved the enemies to lovers aspect of this book.

“Maybe I like playing with fire—because I have a feeling that is exactly what he is.”

I mean! If this quote doesn’t get you I don’t know what will!

Thank you NetGalley for this book!

Who doesn't love a billionaire romance? Rowan comes from a wealthy family who is expected to live a normal life when all she is wanting is to run the family company. Holden is coming in a the CEO of the company. From the out set, they have a great vibe about them. The banter and chemistry between them is almost instant but with Holden being the next CEO, they hate each other. There are a couple flash backs in the story which I love as you get the background of why Holden is wanting to take revenge on the family and company. Rowan wasn't someone who you would mess about. She is a total girl boss.

I loved these funny moments you get between them where you can see something blossoming and those smut scenes....

This story follows a billionaire Holden Knight who takes over Rowan’s company but she has wanted to save it so she’s trying to do her best to get to Holden. I have been excited to read this book and I have to say that I was happy with the way this story turned out. I loved the storyline and how there was so much backstory to why this was all happening. It’s not a typical billionaire romance but a touch of suspense to keep you interested. I do have to say that the beginning was a bit hard to get into but once you do, you don’t want to stop reading. This book is told from Holden and Rowan’s pov with some of Holden’s past pov.

Rowan is the FMC of the book who wants to be more of the family business but after Holden is coming in she isn’t sure how she will do that. I really enjoyed her character and how hard she fights for herself. I’m excited to see more of her in the next book. Then we have Holden who has had a terrible past and is trying to get revenge now. I like his perspective but seeing how it’s also changing because of Rowan. We do have some side characters but none that are taking the spotlight at the moment. The romance is enemies to lovers, forced proximity and billionaire romance.

The ending is well done and ends with a minor cliffhanger. I’m excited to see how this series perceads especially with everything that went in this book. This book is perfect for those who are fans of Kings of Sins and The Ravenhood.

*this book was sent to me by the publisher to give an honest review in return*

I was so excited for this one when Kristy announced she's releasing a trilogy with Bramble Romance. The tropes are everything that I love. I immediately love and feel bad for Holden!!! Kristy sure knows how to write a broken hero.

Rowan's brother pretty much sold the family business to Holden Knight, and they don't know that he's out for revenge!!! I'm over here biting my fingers. Lol What's going to happen next?!!! What's going to happen when she finds out he's out for revenge only? Especially when she's falling for him? Ahhhh!!! Lol the things that come out of Holden's mouth though...I'll be falling for him too. 😏⁣

Do know that this is a trilogy so it'll end in a cliffhanger. But I am so invested that I want the second book ASAP. ⁣

This is K Bromberg at her very best! Twisted Knight is the kind of story that consumes every spare second of your time. Holden Knight is the type of billionaire alpha we all love. The cold, reserved, arrogant one who’s successful, always one step ahead and god damn hot! In the world of business and takeovers lies a secrecy of corruption and revenge.
Knights past which slowly unfolds
being the driving force of said revenge and when that’s revealed you full back him for it! But how does that fit in with Rowan? Although a member of the family he seeks revenge on, these two have an intense chemistry from the first time their eyes meet. Rowan is feisty and strong, she’s the brains and although her family undervalue her , Holden sees the success she drives, as he uses her dream of being more in the company to his advantage there is no denying the sparks and desire these two have. With characters we despise, the characters we can’t quite work out and the ones that become our favourite. Rowan and Holden relationship is filled with lust, wit and banter, chemistry and steam. From beginning to end we see Knight change, from stand offish despite instant attraction to the unknown feelings Rowan gives him. And just when things seem to be on track, deceit and lies come leaving us on the edge of our seat needing more now!
