I didn’t have any expectations going into this book and I’m glad I didn’t because it was So. Good. What a gloriously written plot. I loved Rowan and Holden, I was craving their banter and thought they were made for each other. Same level of money and same level of freak. The author did a phenomenal job of letting you know which characters you are supposed to hate. They are straight-up deplorable and I actually loved how much I despised them. This is truly a revenge story, so there is a lot to take in history-wise but the flashbacks are incredibly easy to follow. You will definitely feel your feels while reading, there is some heavy stuff throughout but I thought it was really well done. I also liked how the romance progressed, it was not rushed and it happened in a gradual and believable way. Book 2 needs to hustle because that cliffhanger was something else.

Thank you to NetGalley, Bramble, and Tor Publishing Group for this advanced copy. You can pick up Twisted Knight on September 24, 2024.

It didn't take me long to realize that this book isn't quite for me. I didn't enjoy the writing style or connect to the characters the way I would've liked, so I'm afraid I DNF'd this one fairly quickly. That doesn't mean others won't love it though, especially if they like messy, dramatic contemporary romance.

I went into this title completely blind but I definitely see the comparison to it being King of Sin meets It Ends With Us - very apt description

I'm not normally a big fan of billionaire romances but I'm a sucker for workplace romance. The two main characters, Holden and Rowan, have really great chemistry and banter with one another - I loved both of them and was rooting for them the entire time (sometimes with these types of romances one of the people comes off unlikeable but I didn't feel that with either of them)

The pacing of the romance was nice and I'm glad that the FMC wasn't a pushover. The spicy scenes were well done and well placed within the story.

This is the first book I've read by this author but I definitely want to read more from them now!

K. Bromberg's "Twisted Knight" is a gripping tale that delves into the complexities of revenge, identity, and unacknowledged love. The story follows two compelling protagonists—Holden and Rowan—navigating their tumultuous pasts and the entangled emotions that bind them. From the outset, Holden’s determination to seek vengeance for his brother’s wrongs sets a dark and intense tone. He is a character propelled by a fierce sense of justice and loyalty, making him both relatable and captivating. The depth of his pain and desire to make those who hurt his family remember their actions offers reader's a glimpse into his tumultuous psyche. The way Bromberg weaves Holden's motivations showcases her deft ability to create characters that resonate with emotional truth. Rowan, on the other hand, serves as a striking contrast to Holden. Living in her brother's shadow, she embodies the struggles of those often overlooked and underappreciated. Her internal conflict—juggling her ambitions with the weight of her familial obligations—makes her journey both heartbreaking and empowering. As she seeks to claim her identity and step out of the shadows, readers can't help but root for her growth. Bromberg skillfully builds Rowan's character, allowing her to evolve into a formidable force in her own right.
The dynamic between Holden and Rowan is electric, filled with tension and unresolved feelings that leap off the page. Their interactions are marked by an undercurrent of attraction that complicates their paths—especially as Holden battles with the desires that threaten to distract him from his goal of revenge. This intricate interplay of emotions is where Bromberg truly shines; she crafts moments that are both charged and tender, inviting readers into the complexities of their relationship. Bromberg's writing style is evocative and immersive, painting vivid pictures of the characters' experiences. The pacing of "Twisted Knight" keeps readers engaged, expertly balancing moments of tension with quieter, introspective pauses that allow for character development. The small-town setting plays a significant role, immersing readers in an environment that feels both familiar and claustrophobic, enhancing the themes of entrapment and the relentless pull of past decisions. Overall, Twisted Knight is a powerful exploration of love, loyalty, and the struggle for self-definition amidst the chaos of familial expectations and revenge. K. Bromberg has crafted a story that is both intense and heartfelt, inviting readers to ponder the consequences of our choices and the weight of our pasts.

This is surprisingly my first billionaire romance and I really enjoyed it! The spice was awesome, I loved the flashback chapters, and their tension and just chemistry was incredible. I can’t wait for book 2!

Thank you so much Bramble! This was a fantastic billionaire romance. The plot was great and well woven through the story. The characters had amazing banter and chemistry.

This book is so good, a top read for me and it gave exactly what it advertised. I've never read any book by this author before and didn't know what to expect but this exceeded it. This is a billionaire romance and the main characters Holden and Rowan are such good characters. Rowan is from a wealthy family that doesn't appreciate her worth in running the company business while Holden is the incoming CEO who is out to get revenge. immediately they have great banter and chemistry despite the fact that they do not like each other. As the mmc's revenge plan unfolds we get a couple of chapters from 15 years ago where we see why he decided to embark on the revenge plan and I supported him fully lol. I loved the romance and how the main characters matched each other's freak perfectly. The fmc was strong af, not a pushover, and was a boss especially when it came to the steamy scenes. There are the perfect amount of steamy scenes and I liked the progression of the romance. Now that ending has me a bit stressed and I wish I didn't have to wait till next year to read the next book. I would recommend this book to any romance book lover, thank you Bramble for this earc for an honest review.

Read for:
- Billionaire romance
- Enemies to lovers

Holden Knight walks into TinSpirits with plenty of money and lots of secrets. the Rothschild siblings know about the former but not about the latter, and they don’t know the secrets will lead to their downfall.

while he has every intention to ruin their family, he’s playing a dangerous game as he gets closer and closer to Rowan Rothschild. he thought she could be the biggest tool at his disposal to move his agenda forward, but she’s actually his biggest distraction: one he wasn’t expecting and one he doesn’t know what to do with.

Rowan has been trying to figure out a way to save her family company since the moment she knew her brother made a deal with the devil. she never expected to fall for the devil.

Holden and Rowan move from loathe to lust to something more pretty quickly, but what will happen when their secrets are exposed and they have to face the music?

I absolutely loved Twisted Knight! uncovering the layers of backstabbing, betrayal, pain, and reluctant desire combined with a destructive cliffhanger made for a wild ride. I’m sick to my stomach that I have to wait for the next book, but I know it’ll be so worth it!
