okay after so long I have read a book where the actual feeling of hate, animosity and revenge was there. Not to forget it was a billionaire romance and his income and money in the bank had made me gone blank for few seconds.

I absolutely devoured the book and oh my god the tension was too much to read.

Only one fact was a bummer for me and that was that it was not informed or put in knowledge of the reader that the book ends in a cliffhanger because of which the ending left a sour taste!!!

This is beyond a phenomenal read!

There were so many different layers to Twisted Knight. There were so many twists and revelations in this book. You couldn’t tell who was a player or who was being played. Dark truths come to light and just when you think you are seeing a bright spot in this story, you get hit with a whammy of a twist.

Revenge is the name of the game when Holden Knight makes his presence known at the Westmore Country Club. Everyone is curious about the newcomer, but Holden already knows all about them: and he’s ready to destroy some of them the way he was destroyed years ago.

Rowan Rothschild, tired of being told to sit pretty and let the men handle the business, wants to take charge in the family business. She may be the face, but she wants to make the decisions. She thinks she can do that until the stranger she talked to at the auction at the country club turns things on its head by taking over the very company she wants to run.

Holden and Rowan go from enemies to passionate secret lovers, but are they playing a game to get the upper hand?

K. Bromberg is a “Must Read” author. I’ve read several of her books and she doesn’t solely focus on the spice. She weaves relatable characters and relatable situations. I would recommend any book: I’ve read of hers.

Twisted Knight is the first novel in the new Tangled Hearts series by K. Bromberg and the title of the series is absolutely spot on for the story. This story captures you right from the beginning, and from there, all you can do is buckle up for the roller coaster of emotions it takes you through!

Holden is a complicated character. He has a rough exterior but a softer side with certain folks. I absolutely loved the development between him and Rowan.

Rowan is off limits. She's from one of the wealthiest families in town, and they behave like they own the town. As we get to know Rowan, we slowly find out she's not at all like the rest of her family.

I am shocked by the ending and dying for the next novel in the series! Holden and Rowan might be my favorite book couple lately, and I want more!!

A game of cat and mouse with the winner taking all. Holden is after revenge and Rowan is just collateral damage. Never did he think he would fall for Rowan as he thought her to be the stuck-up rich girl but she proves him wrong. The sexual tension between them is off the charts. Of course this book ends on a cliffhanger and your like WTF. I can't wait for the next book to see what happens.

Oh my goodness! This book is so good. Everything I was hoping it would be.

Rowan is part of the wealthy Rothschild family and the face of the company, TinSpirits. She is not deemed worthy by her family to be a part of the company and was given the title of Vice President of Marketing to placate her.

Holden Knight has a plan to buyout TinSpirits and in turn, get his revenge for something that happened to him in his past. He was not expecting Rowan and the attraction he feels toward her, though. She’s not part of his plan. They do get close as Rowan is his match in every way—including the bedroom and the office. She is one strong woman. There are just enough spicy scenes between them that it doesn’t overtake the plot. I was all in for the plot!

I just can’t believe it’s a cliffhanger ending!

I listened to the advanced listener copy as well as read an advanced reader copy. The narrators, Patrick Zeller and Victoria Connolly, were both new to me and were both wonderful. I thought the male narrator scenes from fifteen years ago were especially moving.

Thank you to Bramble Romance for the advanced readers copy. Thank you to Macmillan Audio for the advanced listener copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

4.5/5⭐️
Right from the start, Holden is a “delicious” mystery. I am hooked and want to know what happened to him in the past leading to his current revenge plan. I also like Rowan for being the smart, strong woman that she is – trying her best to protect her family’s legacy.

Unfortunately for Rowan, she is collateral damage in his big plan to destroy the Rothschild family. Despite Holden’s role in taking over the family business, TinSpirits, she soon realises that he is the only one who doesn’t discount her off and sees her true potential at work.

The more time that they spend together, the more we readers learn about both Rowan and Holden and I just loved the depth of these two characters. So well written with real complexity. I can easily imagine them being real people in this grey world which we live in.

And Omg, I totally hate Rhett. He is so self-entitled and I dislike how he belittles Rowan. Her parents are not much better with the way they disregard her and treat her as a supporting character in their lives.

I like my cinnamon roll heroes but Holden is a grey knight which is hard to resist.

Ps. This is the first book in the series and ends with a cliffhanger.

“She may be on her knees, but I’m at her f^cking mercy.”

“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.”

Holden Knight is back for revenge against those who wronged his brother, but his quest is complicated by his growing obsession with Rowan Rothschild. Rowan, from a wealthy family but tired of living in her brother’s shadow, is determined to take control of what she deserves. However, Holden’s return threatens her plans and forces her to confront new challenges.

This book kept me hooked! I fully supported Holden’s revenge, especially against Rhett, Rowan’s brother and CEO, and Chad Williams, COO—they deserved it. Rowan wants a real voice in the company, but her brother’s poor decisions lead him to sell it to Holden, who is now messing with them. When Rowan discovers Holden is the new owner after a tense conversation at an auction, the dynamic between them shifts from enemies to a simmering attraction.

Holden never expected to be drawn to Rowan, who challenges his plans. Despite being part of the Westmore community, Rowan has ambitions beyond being a trophy wife. She knows the company better than her brother, and Holden values her input, giving her a role and voice in the company that her family never did.

Holden, a self-made millionaire with a dark past, sought revenge for his brother. He never anticipated developing feelings for Rowan. Their relationship starts with just sex but grows into something deeper. The spice is well-balanced with the plot, and Holden’s alpha persona and filthy talk are both surprising and captivating.

I love Rowan’s determination to follow her own path despite her family’s expectations. However, this book ends on a cliffhanger, leaving me desperate for more! I need answers about Holden’s backstory and more on Rowan and Holden’s journey. I can’t wait for the sequel!

Thank you Valentine PR and K. Bromberg for the advanced copy. This review was left voluntarily.

Twisted Knight by K. Bromberg is an enthralling billionaire workplace romance between a boss & the woman he had a chance meeting with before. K. Bromberg wonderfully combines entertainment with heat, romance & intrigue.

I’ve been a fan of K. Bromberg’s work for over a decade. I was so excited to dive into a new series & even more excited to find out this one was a billionaire romance fronted by an intriguing hero with a surprising backstory & unexpected present.

Twisted Knight is great for fans of…
💙 Workplace Romance
💙 Boss x Employee
💙 Enemies to Lovers
💙 Billionaire Alpha Hero
💙 Revenge
💙 Dual POV

I also listened to the audiobook & I thought the narrators did a fantastic job! I had heard of Patrick Seller before & just like his previous work, I enjoyed it immensely! Victoria Connolly was a fresh voice for me, but they did a great job & perfect for this character.

Now I need to have a word with the author because how could you end on that cliffhanger?! I need more!! I am so curious to learn how everything will workout. I cannot wait to keep reading this story.

If you haven’t read a K. Bromberg book before, I highly recommend giving their work a read & Twisted Knight is a great place to start!

Massive thanks to NetGalley, Tor & Macmillan Audio for the gifted copies, which I voluntarily read & reviewed.

I CAN NOT EVEN with how amazing this story was. On the surface, this is an office romance, but it’s also an exhilarating read that constantly keeps you on your toes. Just when you think you can relax – corporate espionage, the good-old-boys system, a past tragedy, and revenge all come together in a story that will surprise you with each layer you uncover. And the way that it ends, will leave you stunned. That last line?!?! I was left with my mouth open and an absolute desperation for more. The dynamic between Holden and Rowan is thick. They have a tension, both in and out of the bedroom, that could light the entire city on fire. While Holden is a quiet and commanding alpha in the boardroom, Rowan can hold her own. She is calculating and decisive, and while she spends a large part of the book finding her footing, she never seems weak. Both of them are driven by their own moral compasses that at first glance seem on the up and up, but neither is afraid to get their hands dirty either.

Holden comes to Westmore with a plan for revenge for what they did to his brother. They never thought of him again, but he never forgot them. Rowan is the trophy daughter and she hates it. While pretending to be the perfect daughter, behind the scenes she works to gain the experience and knowledge to claim her family’s business. She is the part of the plan he never counted on. He’s the man who plans to steal her future. Both are playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers, and the fallout no one sees coming.

This office romance has it all – steam, constant tension between the characters, a forbidden element, enemies to lovers vibes galore, greed, and betrayal. I couldn’t get enough of this story and couldn’t put it down. Fans of Bromberg will love this story, but also will be completely unprepared for it. It has everything readers love from her romances, and a twisted and challenging story that sweeps readers from the beginning all the way to the shocking end. This story was spectacular and I can not wait to get my greedy hands on the next story.

Twisted Knight is the first book in a brand new series by the incredible K. Bromberg, and it's to be noted that this book ends on a cliffhanger (but it's so worth it!).

This series focuses on our main characters, who are each battling their own wars but end up thrown in each other's lives due to circumstances needed for each of their plans to work. Without spoiling too much of the story I'd just like to say that these characters have a similar foundation as to those seen in the Driven series by the same author and that just makes me even more excited for this series.

Holden Knight swoops into Westmore's society with a bang and begins his plan of vengeance against those who have wronged him (starting with a business transaction that leaves our fmc and myself shocked) . He is ruthless and does whatever it takes to get what he needs. The only thing he doesn't see coming in his way is Rowan Rothschild.

Rowan is supposed to be the quiet, high society princess who upholds her family's name, and she does so or is seemingly the only one who manages to do so. She promises her grandmother to keep the family business in their name and works very hard to do so. Her turning the game around on Holden at the end was chef's kiss (even though her heart might be broken...)

These two have scorching chemistry, and the plot twist at the end only makes me more eager for book two. This is a fast-paced, ever evolving read with deep and complicated characters that brought a new dynamic to reading for me. I'd like to send out a huge thanks to the author and Valentine's PR for providing me with an Advanced Reader Copy. It is very appreciated as always!

I highly recommend giving this one a read when it releases on the 24th of September 2024.

3.5 stars

Twisted Knight by K. Bromberg is exactly that. Very twisted. It’s an enemy to lovers’ story, but truly it’s an everyone’s an enemy story, even your own family. I must confess, being an OG reader of Kristy’s books from day one, this is the first time I just didn’t connect with the story.

Kristy is an amazing wordsmith, and her stories are always well written and flow smoothly, but this time around I felt a bit like I had whiplash. Rowan, God bless her, was the only Rothschild that actually cared about the family’s company and trying to salvage it. She was the only one who was attempting to do anything and everything to make the company successful, but man, did her family, and basically every person in their prestigious community of Westmore treat her like a doormat. And what’s worse, is she let them. My head spun with how quickly she would go from being a headstrong businesswoman to getting put down by basically every member of her family.

Holden Knight was really the only character I cared for, at all. His backstory broke my heart and enraged me all at the same time. The disgusting way all the Westmore brats treated him when he was younger just made my blood boil. And the circumstances behind why he is now back and planning to exact revenge had me rooting for him so hard. Morally grey character? What does it say that he was the only one I liked?

It took quite a while for Holden and Rowan to get together, the 50% mark, but when they did, it was explosive and oh so satisfying. But then Rowan’s indecision afterwards was frustrating.

Speaking of frustrating, there were a few things that frustrated me quite a bit. All of these are personal annoyances, I fully acknowledge that, but they occur and pull me out of the story and ultimately affect my rating so here they are. Rowan constantly rolled her eyes. Not just once or twice but all the time. Why? It felt very much like something the spoiled rich brats surrounding her would do, not the woman who set herself apart from them all and wanted to be nothing like them. Also, when did it become acceptable to stop capitalizing God? That and inserting “goddamn” into so many sentences, those things are just like nails on a chalkboard for me. So unnecessary.

This story is very complex, with takeovers happening and everyone jockeying behind the scenes to screw over the other person, particularly Rowan’s brother Rhett, who was just a disgusting waste of cells in a body. LOL Sorry, but he’s despicable. Is he smarter than he comes across as? Maybe he’s even more diabolical than we’ve seen so far. More to be revealed. I saw several people talking about this big cliffhanger that Kristy ends the book with, and as I was getting closer to finishing, one specific thought kept running through my head as to what it could be, and I just kept saying, “don’t do it, Kristy, DON’T make that the cliffhanger!” and guess what? That’s the cliffhanger. It will be interesting to see what happens next because the story can only get more complicated from here!

As mentioned in the beginning, I’ve been a huge fan of Kristy and her books from day one, and I feel sad that this particular story wasn’t as enjoyable for me as her others. But not every book is for every reader, onward to the next story! I need to find out what happens next!

Wow, what a story this one was! It grabbed me from the first page and I couldn't put it down! 5 Twisted stars for this one!
Holden Knight, I don't think you'll like him at first, but once his story unfolds, you're going to fall in love with him. He's been hurt, by where he grew up, how he grew up. And what happened to him by the upper crust was just down right wrong. But now he's back, a millionaire, and ready to crumble those that hurt him, and make them pay in ways they can't even imagine!
Rowan is a woman in a mans world. Her family is just allowing her to work in the company until she marries, and then she can do what the upper crust woman do, chair charities, have babies, all the thinks she doesn't want to conform too.
When these two meet, their are sparks, but when she finds out he's taking over her family business, the one she wants to take away from her brother and run one day, she's ready for battle. But the more she gets to know him, their long talks, and hot nights, she's seeing a different side of him and she's falling fast for him.
This story was so good! I read until late into the night and started it back up in the morning, I couldn't put it down! It is a cliff hanger, to which I'm begging for book 2 now!! Don't miss out on this amazing story, Kristy went above and beyond on this one, and it's so worth it!

I have read many of K Bromberg’s books and love them all..this one is phenomenal. The plot, the characters, the secrets…so amazing and will have you guessing when the next show will drop.

Rowan is tough, driven and determined…but she has been hurt to her core. She has been caught off guard by her family, a nemesis and her dream is crumbling before her eyes. Her heart is guarded but the one man she despises begins to find his way into it.

Holden is out for retribution…he is a great businessman, sneaky, conniving and determined to get back at those who harmed his family. He also has some deep burdens, pain and memories that he struggles with on a daily basis.

Rowan and Holden are a pair to be reckoned with. The banter, dialogue and undeniable attraction they have for one another other makes them an amazing couple. I cannot wait to see where this relationship/story lands.

This book leaves us with a major cliffy…counting the days for book 2.

I want to be mad at Holden but I just can't. When you read about what Rhett and Chad did to him, everything is so deserved. He should have just told Rowan everything though because he's gonna lose her. I need the next book now. I know she can't actually marry that man. Right before everything went to shit at the end they were so cute. He took her to see her favorite musician and I know they fell in love with each other.

I received an arc from valentine pr.

I couldn’t put this one down. I was completely hooked from the start and am dying for more of Rowan and Holden.

Rowan comes from a world where she is expected to be a wife, not work, and be perfect. Everything she doesn’t want. She wants to run her family's business. Holden is a man who has worked hard his entire life and a man who is out for revenge.

I love the revenge plot in this story and I can’t wait to see how that all plays out. Plus the banter and tension between Rowan and Holden is amazing.

I loved the flashbacks of the past to learn a little more about Holden and get some insight into why he is doing what he is doing.

If you’re looking for a workplace, revenge plot, enemies to lovers romance check this one out. Note this one is book 1 and does end on a cliffhanger.

Holden and Rowan

Wow! This is going to be torture..the waiting.

Poor Holden! Holden grew up on the wrong side of town..the poor side. The side no one cared about. His mom worked so hard to provide for them and Holden worked hard to make something of himself. To never again have to work for the rich and entitled. They moved away from his hometown after a tragedy and now he is back..for revenge.

Rowan grew up completely different. Born to wealth, generations of money. Her family, and her town all believing the women have a place, not in business but at home. She could not disagree more. She does work for the family business but it’s ran, along with the family trust, but her brother. Now things aren’t adding up and she has lots of questions.

There is really only so much I can say as I don’t want to spoil anything. This is so good but I’m impatient and want answers lol. This was captivating from beginning to end and obviously I can’t wait to read the rest!

“Step into the gray with me.”

Twisted Knight deserves all of the stars. I lost myself in this compelling story that had complicated, well-developed characters who shared an intense, passionate connection. Holden and Rowan had me on the edge of my seat as they danced around one another, both professionally and personally. They were pure FIRE!

“Life is black. It’s white. It’s gray. I live in the gray.”

Holden’s past was absolutely heartbreaking and has driven his need for revenge. His motivations are clear from the beginning, but feelings start to muddy his plan. I completely understand why he’s doing what he’s doing and I cannot wait to find out what other secrets he may be hiding. Rowan softens him and brings out a charming, lovable side that is so endearing.

“I’m starting to feel valued by the one person who is trying to actively ruin my life. And possibly ruin it in more ways than one.”

Rowan is struggling with her feelings of being overlooked in her own family. She’s not the chosen one so they often put down her feelings and don’t believe that she can think for herself. She’s determined to prove that she has what it takes to run her family business, but when her brother makes a decision that jeopardizes her dream, she’s forced to collaborate with the enemy. She tries to resist Holden’s charms, but the attraction between them sizzles.

“Time to change the dress.”

Holden and Rowan are the definition of a push and pull relationship. The chemistry crackles between them and the banter is electric. I absolutely could not get enough of their connection and watching their relationship develop from enemies to more. When they started to let their guards down with each other, real feelings began to develop but betrayal, revenge, and outside forces threaten to jeopardize everything. Twisted Knight is the first part of a duet so this does end in a cliffhanger. I’m now not so patiently counting down the days until the conclusion of this fantastic duet.

This was such a fun read with angst, drama and delicious romance!!!

Twisted Knight is such a wild ride!!! We follow Rowan, a daughter from a wealthy family who struggles against archaic expectations and yearns to be given the chance to run her family business. In comes Holden, our twisted knight 👀, who is hell bent on revenge against Rowan’s family including her.

I had such a great time reading this book! Rowan is such a likeable character! She’s rich and entitled but stays kind and empathetic to others around her. And I admired so much her drive to achieve her goals!

Holden is a complete mystery. He’s rude, obnoxious and filthy rich. We know he wants revenge but what is his plan? What happened to make him hate Rowan’s family?

This story keeps you on your toes with its twists and turns and fast paced action. There’s good character development and I enjoyed seeing both of the characters grow and overcome their prejudices. The drama, angst and tension was simply fantastic and I ate it up!!! 🔥

The romance between Rowan and Holden is insta attraction but definitely a slow burn in terms of emotional side. Their chemistry is fantastic and their banter and back and forth made me giggle!

It was a fantastic romance with an entertaining side of drama amongst the rich and the beautiful and I had an amazing time reading it!

It’s not a standalone so be ready for a cliffhanger!

Tropes:

- enemies to lovers
- revenge plot
- billionaire
- workplace romance
- boss x employee

Rating: 4,5/5 ⭐️
Spice: 3/5 🌶️

I love K Bromberg. She tells such great stories with complex characters that always grow. She writes strong, fierce women who take what they want and put men in their place. Rowan was no different.

The dual timelines added depth to the story and shows Holdens heart and compassion and the reason for his rage and need for revenge.

What I wasn't expecting was the CLIFFHANGER! But boy did it leave me wanting more.

𝐓𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐊𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 is the first book in the Tangled Hearts series by K. Bromberg that screams enemies to lovers with an angsty, gritty revenge plot that was expertly interwoven through the story. Rowan Rothchild wants nothing more than to play a role in saving her family business. She thinks she may finally get her chance after the reading of her grandmother’s will, but her misogynistic brother made a deal with a stranger behind her back. That stranger, Holden Knight, is all grown up now and out for revenge. Can he follow through on his plan, or will his growing feelings for Rowan distract him from his mission?

Let’s be honest, I’m always excited when a new series comes from K. Bromberg, and this one was a riveting rollercoaster ride! Rowan caught my attention with her strength and sass. I loved the way she could hold her own with Holden, and fight the chauvinism in her family and company. The flashbacks are well utilized to explain the history behind Holden’s grudge against the family, and I loved watching his internal struggle as he found himself falling for her, despite her connection to his targets. And the romance aspect? Wow! The physical fire burned bright and 𝑯𝑶𝑻 quickly🔥, while the emotions were more of a slow burn!! I am here for all of it… the family drama, the emotion, the spice, the revenge, the plot twists, and yes, even the breathe-stealing cliffhanger… Not my favorite though!👀😅 I cannot wait for the next book!!!

I received an ARC for free, and am leaving this review voluntarily.
