Always an absolute fave author of mine writing just another phenomenal story that I just couldn't put down! I just ate this one up and instantly wanted to re-read the second I was finished. Everything I need and want from start to finish.

Twisted Knight is twisted in some ways the main characters of this book are connected in a way that only he knows and he keeps the secret to himself. I do not really care for her family and their way of doing things and I hope that karma comes back around. I do not like the person that her family feels that she should marry either, his family needs some huge wake up calls. I think that Holden Knight, is following through with his plan and will reach his ultimate goal with some plot twists along the way because he didn't expect Rowan.

This book leaves us on a major cliffhanger, which I am not a fan of, but I want more of the story. I think that cliffhangers keep most readers coming back and wanting to continue the story, but they also cause readers to become uninterested and move on without coming back to continue the story because of the time in-between. I fall in the category of I want to know more and I will come back to find out what happens, but I am also frustrated because I like to know how the story ends when the book ends and it feels incomplete. I apologize for my cliffhanger rant, I am impatiently waiting on the continuation of Rowan and Holden's story and I am hoping for an HEA for them. I think they deserve it.

Rowan is the brilliant yet underestimated daughter of a wealthy family, constantly overshadowed by her golden-child brother. Everyone expects her to fall in line and play the perfect, domesticated role, but she’s far from the passive princess they assume. She’s sharp, driven, and more than capable of running the family business—qualities that make her the kind of heroine you can’t help but root for.

Enter Holden, the enigmatic, silver-tongued disruptor who’s about to turn Rowan’s world upside down. He’s enemy number one from the moment he steps in, and the sparks between them are undeniable. Their razor-sharp banter is perfection, and the tension between them? Off the charts. You’ll be rooting for them to cross that line and finally give in (preferably on that office desk!).

The slow build is deliciously intense, but just when you’re ready for that explosive climax—bam! Cliffhanger. And let me tell you, waiting for the next book is pure agony. K. Bromberg, I need the sequel, like, yesterday!

This is the kind of series opener that grips you from the start, mixing billionaire romance, enemies-to-lovers fire, and a revenge plot that’ll keep you turning pages. I’m already counting down the days until we get to see what’s next for Rowan and Holden.

4⭐/3🌶

I was told business, revenge, and romance and immediantly snapped this up to read. I highly enjoyed this read.

I wasn't sure about the FMC at first because she was *spineless* Yeah she wanted more, but she just went with the status quo until the MMC pushed her out of her comfort zone. Once she started speaking up, she was definitely more likeable.

Holden's motivation becomes more clear and is definitely justified. He's got the commanding thing down for sure.

I was no expecting the cliff hanger and it was definitely a doozy. I'm hoping it wasn't a miscommunication and that it was a genuine mistake that he'll have to make up.

I can't wait to read book two!!!

Can anyone say Holy Cliffhanger. There aren’t enough words to describe this story. I could not put it down. I need book 2 ASAP.
Holden wanted revenge since he was younger. A promise to his brother that he would not break. What he didn’t plan on happening was falling for Rowan.
Of course he is the last man she should get involved with either. He is the enemy but she can’t ignore what he stirs in her.
Their chemistry is explosive. But the secrets he carries can destroy so much including what he has found with Rowan. What will happen when they are found out.
Holden has his own agenda and getting involved with Rowan is becoming a distraction he doesn’t need. But he can’t stay away any more that she can stay away from him.
A cliffhanger that will shock you and have you counting the days until the next book.

This author never disapoints. This was a great story and look forward to the next book in this series.

Brace yourself for a massive cliffhanger in this enemies-to-lovers, revenge romance saga.

Rowan, a billionaire's daughter, is expected to marry gracefully but is instead managing the family business, a role her favored brother should assume. Holden, the forgotten son, seeks vengeance against those he blames for a tragedy that wrecked his life and exiled him from town.

Both share a common yet conflicting goal: control over Rowan's family business. Rowan desires it because she believes her brother is neither deserving nor capable of running it effectively. Holden craves it as a means of sweet revenge. However, what neither Holden nor Rowan anticipate is the intense attraction that sparks between them.

What unfolds is a sizzling romance rife with secrets, lies, family feuds, deceit, and sharp banter. And about that cliffhanger? I'm just as eager to see where this story leads.

What an addictive book this one was!

I truly couldn’t stop reading after reaching 30% into this one. I already knew K. Bromberg writing was super evolving, but I never read anything from her outside the formula one world, and let me tell you: I am so glad I did!

Holden and Rowan own a place in my heart, and I truly love their chemistry and their background.

This book is the perfect story for everyone who loves billionaire, workplace, and revenge plots with chemistry beyond this world.

I found myself tearing up so many times, especially because of Holden, and let me tell you: HOLDEN KNIGHT IS FIRE.

I truly can't wait to continue this journey, and I want to scream to everyone: 🗣READ 🗣 THIS 🗣 BOOK 🗣!!

I truly don't want to deliver much of this story because I am so glad I went to it blindly - I want to know everyone's thoughts on this one so please share it with me once you finish it!

Whoa! What a way to open up a book. Dropped right into the middle of the upper crust money chaos. And right off the bat I know this enemies to lovers will be deliciously good. Holden knight is someone you will love to hate and I’m so looking forward to letting his guard down and leaving that boardroom pr*ck persona behind. Rowan Rothchild meets a mysterious man at a fundraiser, setting the tone between the two of them with sexy banter. But that flirtation turns to hate when she finds out that Holden Knight has purchased controlling interest in her family’s business. I when I say hate, it’s serious hate.

This is the first book in a duet so there is a cliffhanger. I’ve read a good handful of Bromberg books, but this one has a different tone. There’s a deeper story she is weaving here and I love the time she’s taking to tell it over 2 books. From the beginning, I really disliked Holden. SERIOUSLY disliked him. And with Rowans hate for him I wondered how long it would take to make me to like him. These two have a LOT to get through before there’s an HEA. But who’s to say hate sex can’t be steamy and sexy. So, 2 books are definitely needed here.

Rowan has always taken a back seat to her brother’s old boy network ways with the company. He’s never appreciated her talent and puts her in her in her place with that condescending “Don’t worry your pretty little head, darlin’” attitude. But Holden pushes her buttons to get her to realize that she’s been a doormat when it comes to stepping into her power with the company. That’s a tough pill to swallow when she realizes it. Holden, on the other side, is driven by revenge and guilt from his past. And as the book progresses, we get snippets of what’s driving him. But can he step out of his narrowed focused rage to see the potential collateral damage around him? There are so many layers to this man and I can’t wait to discover them all. This is what’s so great about Bromberg’s books. Her characters truly go through tough growing pains and life lessons and I love experiencing that with them.

The way Bromberg writes this push pull between them is masterful. It’s a cat and mouse game with Holdens sexy words wooing her to fall for him, Rowan’s spunkiness when it’s least expected, their back-and-forth banter. I was all for it. And when they finally came together it was super sexy.

Book 2 can’t come fast enough. Another winner by Bromberg.

I would like to thank Valentine PR, Netgalley, and Bramble Romance/Tor Publishing Group for providing this ARC in exchange for my honest review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.

4.5⭐️ rounded to 5⭐️ on Goodreads and retail sites. Twisted Knight is the first book in the new series by K Bromberg. I really loved this book. Read above for book blurb. Holden has really strong reasons for what he is doing, and Rowan is a distraction from his goal that he cannot resist. Rowan wants to run her family’s company, and Holden is the interloper who has swooped in and taken that option away from her. This made for an interesting dynamic and the draw to one another would have to be very strong to overpower all the reasons that they had to stay away from one another. As feelings develop, one has to wonder how Holden plans to balance his plan and its’ impact on Rowan. This couple had truly incendiary chemistry. This is a book for the reader who loves to read about the dominant, dirty talking lover. This author always delivers the spicy books and this one is no exception. But spice aside, there are so many elements to this story that kept me glued to the page. The author employed periodic flashbacks that emphasize the poor boy/rich man dichotomy, and as the reader gets to know these main characters we experience how many aspects of Rowan are not what they seemed. The book ends with a cliffhanger when Holden experiences a consequence of his machinations. I am hoping that there will not be a long wait for the next book in the series because I became very invested in these characters and want to see what will happen. I would describe this book as dark, emotional, witty, and spicy with los of snarky dialogue. There is an element of mystery, as there has been a lot happening behind the scenes that the author hints to, but doesn’t disclose. If you are a reader who enjoys a dark, spicy contemporary Billionaire romance novel with plenty of snappy dialogue and intrigue, then you should definitely pick up this book !

The relationship between Holden, a clever billionaire with a vendetta agenda, and Rowan, a strong and determined character from an old-money family fighting for her position and recognition in the family business, is electric. There is an ongoing feeling of suspense throughout the story because of their heated banter and undeniable connection. Rowan was a character whom I liked since she was a strong woman who always aimed higher. When Rowan and Holden met around the midway point, the tone of the book changed slightly, and I found myself liking it even more. I enjoyed how the romance developed, and there was just the right number of steamy scenes. The writing in this book was good as well; it was quick reading. Bromberg's writing abilities show through in this compelling boss-employee romance, which combines passion, love, and intrigue. I really liked this book and am eagerly awaiting the second one. I can't wait to see what happens next for Rowan and Holden.

Thank you so much to K. Bromberg, & Netgalley for this eARC.

Great start to new series. I was sucked in from the first chapter. I was so not prepared for that ending! I need the next book asap!

Loved Rowan and Holden’s characters. Rowan is trying to take her role at the company the way she fits, not the way her parents want her to. They want her to dress and act a certain way. Holden is looking for revenge and will do what he needs to do to get it. These two have great banter and the romance and chemistry between them is amazing. They are so good together.

Hopefully we don’t have to wait too long for the next book.

OMG! What did I just read?! lol I simply didn’t realize this was a cliffhanger! My bad, but THIS BOOK!!!!! It. Was. Amazing. I was wholly consumed by it and didn’t want to leave Rowan’s and Holden’s world.

Rowan is a strong woman who doesn’t live up to society standards. She couldn’t care less. She knows what she wants but those standards have made her voice insignificant. That hasn’t stopped her from learning and growing and fighting for her place in the company. Holden has 1 thing on his mind and it definitely wasn’t Rowan. He’s a force to be reckoned with and extremely secretive. He’s let some of his intentions be known, but he finds himself drawn to Rowan.

Their chemistry was delicious! I liked how he actually saw her. Despite everything going on, he was in her corner. And I loved the way things are revealed to the reader. This was a FANTASTIC book and can’t recommend it enough! But hey Kristy! We need the next book pronto! 🙂

A story full of intrigue, passion, the desire for affirmation and revenge. I was skeptical at first, I thought it would be a classic story about weaknesses, but I was wrong... I can't wait for the sequel! Loved it!

Happy Release to Twisted Knight!

I've loved all of the racing romances K has written, so when I saw she was writing a non-sportsy book I was excited to see what it would be like! An enemies to lovers workplace revenge romance?! GIMME!

The backstory for Holden had me gripped (and very sad at times) and was so interesting to see how it tied into the current story. I loved learning why he was seeking revenge (and on who) and it was a wild ride! I wanted so much strength for Rowan and hate how horribly her family (other than her nan) treat her - yes I want to face kick her brother. How kind of a person she is is really highlighted by all the trash ways she is treated.

The cliffy for this book has me super curious about how this trilogy will continue! I'm sure we’re gonna get sooo much more conflict and drama in book two, whereas this book was a lot of information and set up. Yes it felt long, but I’m totally here trusting K and the process!

Final Rating: 3.75 ⭐, 3🌶️

Thank you Valentine PR, NetGalley and K. Bromberg for granting me an ALC & eARC of this book in exchange for my honest review!

Twisted Knight by K. Bromberg

What can I say about Twisted Knight….not much because I think this is a book you need to just go in blind and enjoy the ride! Sometimes things aren’t always what them seem and I love when a book keeps me guessing!

It does leave you in a cliffhanger and what a cliffhanger it is! What I can say is I love Kristy’s writing and the Wild ride she takes us on! This book has a little of everything I personally love in a book. You will feel all the emotions and when you finish you won’t be able to stop thinking about these characters!

So if you love a book with lots of twists and turns and one that will keep you up well past your bed time, this book is a must read! I loved it and cannot wait for the next book to release!

Rowan and Holden had me from the very first page. They sucked me in pretty quickly. K. Bromberg has a habit of writing characters that do just that. Rowan has always lived in the shadow of her brother, she’s fought hard to be where she is in the family business and isn’t prepared to be overlooked by him or the mysterious, handsome stranger who is about to turn her world upside down in all kinds of ways. Holden Knight is a self-made billionaire, who is driven by revenge which revolves around a past tragedy. He doesn’t anticipate how much Rowan will get under his skin and how much he’ll love it and she doesn’t anticipate just how much she’ll want him, knowing all the time he’s off limits. These two are seriously good together! It’s an intriguing story with lots of twists and turns and buckle up because there’s a cliffhanger that will have you wondering why just why!!! We can’t help but wonder what’s coming next for Rowan and Holden. I’m sure K. Bromberg won’t disappoint us with book two of the Tangled Hearts series.

Wow, wow, wow!!! This book.... buckle up and hold on tight!!!! I love k. Brombergs work and this book is right up there as an absolute favorite from her. Let's start with Knight. He's the man you love to hate, but soon realize there's more then meets the eye, or is there. He's a fun twisted character that I can't get enough of. I loved Rowan's character. She's a smart, strong willed, take no crap women. I love how she can hold her own in buissness and personal life. When the two of them meet, it's an absolute bomb. The push, pull, tension, banter is amazing. Kristy has a way of telling stories that suck you in. That ending.... buckle up and hold on tight. Things are going to get very interesting!!! Terrific book!!
