Why did I think that this would be a romantasy? It was most definitely not any kind of fantasy. Not that kind of knight 🤣🤺

So, I have now read my first billionaire romance 🔥🥵

The first thing to note: this has an entertaining, revenge-based plot. Second: get ready for heavy steam, perfect for my smut loving friends. The romance doesn’t get super hot and heavy until about half-way in but then it... does not... let up... Honestly I devoured this in just a couple days. I enjoyed the interactions and chemistry between smart and sassy Rowan Rothschild and Holden Knight, broody, secretive, self-made tech billionaire from the other side of the tracks.

🎧 The audiobook narrators kept me invested, although Victoria Connolly (voice actor for Rowan) was top-notch and I looked forward to the chapters with her POV most. Flashbacks allow us to unpeel Rowan’s history and need for revenge.

My biggest gripe is the non-ending of an ending. Everything is left hanging for the next in the series, to be continued...

Add this to your list if you love a hot and heavy billionaire romance, enemies to lovers, alpha MMC, and good girl FMC who also holds her own.

TW: child death

I'm upset. Why you ask? Because book two isn't out and I need to know what happens next.

This started out a little slow for me but after a while I was caught up in the story. The title Twisted Knight is perfect because this story is definitely twisted. I loved every minute of it. I can't wait until everything is revealed. Please oh please don't make us wait too long for book two,

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this audiobook.

Wooow this one is spicyyyy. Maybe it’s just me but I didn’t see the warnings anywhere.


Holden

They thought they’d managed to get rid of me once and for all. They thought I’d just forget what they did to my brother.

But I’m going to make sure that they never forget.

If only I can stop thinking about her.

Rowan

No one sees me. Behind my brother, I’m a ghost, managing the family business that he claims to run. But I’m tired of second fiddle. I’m tired of pretending. I’m going to take what’s mine.

The only problem? Well, he just came back to town.

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.

Not for me.

Wasn't awful but it just fell flat for me and the cliff hanger just pissed me off. BECAUSE WHY AFTER IR BEING SO SLOW WOULD YOU DO THAT.

I did not connect with any of the characters.

Meh.

I really enjoyed this story! It has a good enemies to lovers vibe and even though I know there’s going to be conflicts between the characters I genuinely like them and kept rooting for them throughout the story. I was so caught up in the story and what was happening I wasn’t prepared for the cliffhanger ending.
The only issue I had was with the male narrator, he had a weird way of taking a deep breath and then sounding slightly strained while talking, it was distracting sometimes. The female narrator was great!

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.

Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for the ALC of Twisted Knight, in exchange for an honest review.

K. Bromberg's 'Twisted Knight' is an amazing romantic suspense book that immediately grabs your attention and doesn't let go. The story is a tale of forbidden love, vengeance, and a compelling past that impacts the present.

Holden's and Rowan's push-and-pull dynamic, will keep you engaged and eager to see how their relationship unfolds. Rowan, a strong and passionate businesswoman, and Holden, a driven billionaire with a dark past, are both incredibly well-developed and relatable characters. Their connection is palpable, even as their conflicting loyalties and secrets threaten to tear them apart.

The dual timeline is seamlessly integrated, providing valuable context and enriching the overall narrative. This approach allows readers/listeners to fully understand the motivations of the characters and the complexities of the plot, enhancing the suspense and the story.

The narration by Patrick Zeller and Victoria Connolly is truly exceptional. Their performances are captivating, bringing Holden and Rowan to life with incredible depth and emotion. Zeller and Connolly's ability to portray the characters' vulnerabilities and complexities adds a powerful layer to the story, making the audiobook an immersive experience.

However, be warned: the story ends on a cliffhanger. A big one!!! The abrupt ending, while certainly effective in leaving the listener wanting more, may frustrate some. My personal reaction was a scream of frustration and a desperate need for the next installment.

'Twisted Knight' is a must-listen for fans of romantic suspense. It's a gripping story with compelling characters, a well-crafted plot, and an exceptional audiobook. If you're looking for an entertaining listen that will keep you on the edge of your seat, then look no further. Just be prepared for a cliffhanger that will leave you desperate for the next chapter in Holden and Rowan's story.

Highly recommended!

Story: 4⭐
Spice: 3🌶️
Narration: 4.5 ⭐

This is a dual narration that is really well done. I enjoyed the male narrator as he's ability to portray the emotional state of Holden (MMC) was amazing.

This is a book of revenge, spice (Strickly just sex, until it's not), misogynistic families, and a powerful FMC. Wait until you read the server scene.

Also, hated the ending. LoL ends on a cliff hanger but not the kind that's good, the kind that makes you say "seriously, that's where you decided to stop".

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
BE WARNED THIS IS BOOK 1 and ends on a cliffhanger in the best worst way and you’re going to want to throw the book across a room then pick it back up to beg for forgiveness but then maybe throw it again and cry in a corner because now you have to wait in agony until book 2.
Or maybe that’s just me.
Anyways, thanks Macmillan Audio, NetGalley and K Bromberg for ruining my night in the best way. I’ll just be over here sulking until the next book is written.

Twisted Knight by K. Bromberg is the first book in the Tangled Hearts Series. This is Rowan and Holden‘s story.
 
Rowan is seen as the pretty face in her family and her role is just in finding a husband. But she actually is very intelligent and wants to improve her family’s business. Rowan is the type of heroine who I love, and she is strong, determined and kind. Her family infuriated me so much and I totally bonded with her through that even more.
 
Holden grew up poor and he made the best of his life and became a successful and self-made man. He doesn’t accept being mediocre and a lot of people underestimate him, but he always has a joker and a plan. And that’s how he comes into Rowan’s family business, and he wants to get his revenge in taking over and disrupting the family. Holden was so charming in his job and especially in private and I fell in love with him alongside Rowan.
 
I absolutely love K. Bromberg‘s books and this one is no exception. It’s the perfect workplace enemies-to-lovers romance and Rowan and Holden‘s banter and chemistry was through the roof. I loved how they started working together and their romance is just explosive and the perfect mixture of steam and angst. I listened to the audiobook and Victoria Connolly and Patrick Zeller did such an amazing job in bringing this story to life and I couldn’t put it down. And it’s only the beginning and I’m dying to continue with this series.
 
Overall, Twisted Knight is a new favorite book and the perfect start to Rowan and Holden‘s story. 5 stars.

Twisted Knight: Tangled Hearts #1
K. Bromberg

Rhett was the golden child. The Rothschild family protected him. He was a “privileged” spoiled brat. The family placed him at the head of their company even though he was a cheat and a thief. Rowan Rothschild was smart and beautiful. She was everything her brother Rhett was not. She should have been the head of the company. Her family expected her to marry, Chad, a childhood friend. They wanted her to chair country club committees, to be domestic. Rowan was tired of living in her brother’s shadow. She had a plan to take over the company.
Holden Knight wants revenge for things that happened in the past. He plans to purchase the Rothschild company and destroy it. Holden grew up on the wrong side of the tracks. He worked at the country club patronized by Rhett and Chad; they went out of their way to make his life miserable.
Rowan didn’t like Holden when they first met; he liked the way she put him in his place. He sees her potential. They do not trust each other and yet see how they can use each other. They are attracted to each other and begin a physical relationship.
Rowan is a strong female lead. Holden is strong and yet unsure; does it want to be a bad guy or a good guy. Will he break Rowan’s heart? Rowan coward to her family but she could stand up to Holden.
While Holden’s childhood was poverty stricken as an adult, he was a multimillionaire and maybe even a billionaire.
The language in this book is vulgar. The F word was used over and over. I thought Holden and Rowan loved each other but I’m not so sure now. The ending to this book is both shocking and disappointing. I want to know more! The ending is a cliffhanger. Author K. Bromberg is talented. I eagerly listened to Twisted Knight. I stayed up late savoring every minute.

Thank you NetGalley for the review copy.

This was an excellent listen and read. The narrators were perfect their roles and did a great job with their performances. I loved the forbidden enemies to lovers elements of this romance. I also loved the family drama and it kept me hooked from the very beginning. The spice was HOT and I enjoyed every second of it. That end though......gimme book two now!

LOVED this one. Holden Smolden! Holy Cow. Totally got sucked in. The Chemistry leapt off the pages between Holden and Rowan.

I love K. Bromberg, so when I was chosen to review this ALC I was super excited. Billionaires. Revenge. Coworker drama. Enemies to lovers. What more does a girl need?!

First things first, the narration is spectacular. The dual narrators KILLED IT!

Second, this is the first in a series and there is a serious cliffhanger. If that's not your thing, avoid this one until the next book comes out!

Third, the tension between Rowan and Holden was off the charts. I love K's writing style, especially when it comes to character development and this book didn't disappoint.

A quick paced, highly entertaining billionaire romance with hate to love vibes, workplace drama and a side revenge plot. I LOVED listening to this one as the narrators did such a great job depicting all of the angst and tension, especially with the powerful WTF ending.

<i>Bruh</i>, I knew that cliff hanger was coming but I <b>still</b> wasn't ready 😩😩😩

Rowan is a smart, sassy, savvy business woman from wealthy family who is constantly being overlooked for meaningful jobs at her family's spirits company simply because she's a woman.

Holden is a broody self made billionaire who is looking for revenge on the people responsible for his traumatic past. Those people just so happen to be Rowan's closest family and friends.

This is spicy, funny, sweet, infuriating. I felt all the things while reading this book. Now someone wake me up when book 2 is out.

Thank you so much to Macmillan Audio for my complimentary audiobook! #macaudio2024

Rowan Rothschild, the heiress to her family’s alcohol business, wants to restore it to its former glory, but things get messy when Holden Knight, a tech millionaire with a hidden agenda, steps in to take over.

This one is full of high-society drama and workplace romance, two things I love in a book like this, but unfortunately, this one didn't hit the mark for me.

First, this is the first book in a series that ends on a cliffhanger with no HEA in sight. I assumed that going in, but the pacing made me question once or twice if there was actually going to be a second book.

There’s plenty of tension between Rowan and Holden, and the slow-burn romance builds, but Rowan’s attitude made it hard to connect with her. Holden is the more interesting of the two. His motives are mysterious, and he’s got this cool, calculated vibe that draws you in. Meanwhile, Rowan feels more entitled than empowered, and her constant outbursts at work are frustrating. Her aggressive behavior towards Holden, who’s made a legit business deal, felt over the top. I wanted more character development and less repetitiveness.

The audiobook performances were so good—Patrick Zeller nailed Holden’s character. Unfortunately, even great narration couldn’t change my mind about this one.

Definitely don’t take my word for it. If you’re into billionaire romance and are thinking of picking this one up, you should give it a chance!

K. Bromberg has done it again! She's written a story that I can’t stop thinking about. Holden and Rowen are such an unexpected couple. Holden is set on taking over Rowen’s family company, and she’s not happy about it at all—especially since she has her own plans to save it, but her jerk of a brother has different ideas.

Holden might seem like a hardass, but his motives for wanting control of the company are deeper than anyone knows. And just when I thought I had it all figured out, K Bromberg hit me with a cliffhanger that totally caught me off guard!

Now, I’m just waiting for the second book.

I listened to the Audible version, and the narrators did a fantastic job bringing Holden and Rowen to life. The spice level in this book is pretty high, so if you’re listening in the car... maybe check who's around first! lol
