"A sexy, emotional roller coaster ride with explosive chemistry between a powerhouse couple. I was hooked from the first page!"-- J.T. Geissinger, author
Resist, the first in an all-new irresistible duet by New York Times bestselling author K. Bromberg is available now!
From the New York Times bestselling author of the Driven series comes a powerful romance about reaching great heights through low depths.
Who says you have to play by the rules to get what you want?
Agreeing to meet Ryker Lockhart is my first mistake. Rich, handsome, and more than intriguing, he thinks blackmail will bend me to his will.
But he’s wrong.
I may have done a few things that weren’t exactly legal, but I have my own reasons for that. The last thing I’m going to do is let some high-powered divorce attorney come into my life, have my body, and rule my heart. Not to mention ruin everything that I have carefully built in just a short amount of time.
But as much as I try to resist him, and against my better judgment, there is something about him that has me agreeing to his proposal.
I’m putting everything on the line for him. I just hope I won’t lose everything when this is all over.
Review by Trinette Dungee
Vaughn Sanders is straddling two worlds. In one, she’s the mysterious Vee, the madam. In the other She’s just plain ole’ Vaughn, struggling waitress just trying to pay down debt so she can gain custody of her special needs niece. She only has to keep the “madam” side of her life going until her debt is paid and if she wants any chance of getting her niece, she must keep the two separate. So far, it’s been easy, exhausting, but easy. Until Ryker Lockhart enters her world. He’s a client. A client for one of her girls, not for her; she doesn’t do that part of the business. An unexpected turn of events finds her being the one sent to entertain Mr. Lockhart in and out of his bed, but Ryker’s suddenly interested in more than what the contract calls for.
Ryker Lockhart is a busy man. He’s a high-powered divorce attorney and between his clients and his always a bride on the brink of divorce mother, he knows the nastier side of marriage and intends to stay as far away from it as possible. Long term relationships aren’t for him. When he higher Wicked Ways to provide him the perfect companion he encounters Saxony.
Ryker knows immediately that Saxony is not what he ordered and ends up sending her away. A twisted turn of events leads Ryker to discover that Saxony is Vaughn, the waitress, at an exclusive club. But there’s still something about Saxony/Vaughn and Vee, they mysterious madam he’s never met, that doesn’t add up and has him intrigued. Once the mysterious is solved Saxony/Vee/Vaughn has been solved the two begin to spend more and more time together.
Okay, I was sucked into this book. Reading the synopsis, I was intrigued but no way did I think I would like this book so much. I loved these two. The chemistry was there, the wit was there. I never expected Ryker to turn into this “relationship guy”, but there he was. Vaughn wasn’t this weak damsel in distress. She was sassy, and she gave as good as she got. She and Ryker were definitely involved in a power struggle. Eventually, Vaughn let her guard down, she opened-up, she loosened up.
The two of them were spending time together, laughing together, getting to know each other, falling in love…and then it happened. What happened you ask? Well hell if I know! (Hands thrown up in the air) One minute they’re the perfect couple and the next minute hearts are broken. That’s all you get, because that’s where it ends. A discovery that shocks one of the characters to their core (and I’m not telling you who). In case you haven’t figured it out...this is a cliff-hanger!!!
Now it all makes sense. As I was reading, I was looking at the percentage and it was getting closer and closer to the end, so I just think to myself “okay, this is going to be one of those no real angst and shit happens but they work through it and all the pieces just fall into place type of stories; and that’s cool because sometimes you just need a story like that. Well, this ain’t that story. Anyone who knows me knows the one thing I hate…cliffhangers, they give me anxiety. So, I did my research and the next book, Reveal, looks to be releasing sometime in late summer/early fall.
I’ve been hearing about K. Bromberg for a very long time and decided to finally give her a try, but let me tell you lady, if this is how you’re going to treat me, I don’t know if we can be friends. Not unless I have all the books in front of me to read back to back. Now I’ll have to stalk you and you’ve got no one to blame but yourself; this is all on you. Looking at you with a side-eye from now on missy. SIDE-FREAKING-EYE! Guess I’ll just sit here with my neurotic self and imagine would could happen.
Aside from that, AWESOME READ; just wait closer to September to read it.

Excerpt:
“It won’t be as easy as you think to walk away from the high life. Money is a powerful thing. Once you have it, it’s hard as hell to live without, Vaughn.”
I start to protest but then realize he doesn’t get it. He knows how much he is paying me. He sees the expensive clothes and jewelry I have on but has no clue they are from thrift stores and pawnshops.“I’ll walk away.”
The chuckle he emits scrapes over my nerves and irritates them. “No, you won’t. You’re addicted to the power of it. Of knowing you can bring a man to his knees. Of the ability to use your body to get exactly what you want.”
“You don’t know a thing about me.”
But the ghost of a smirk that plays at the corner of his mouth makes me fear he just might. “You don’t have to be embarrassed by it, Vaughn. I get off on the same type of power when I’m in court. It’s a high. Something once you have a taste of, you only seem to want more of.”
“Don’t paint your experience on my canvas,” I murmur.
“Here we are,” he says, pulling my attention to our surroundings instead of to him. We’re standing outside the entrance to The Club, and every part of me deflates a little at the thought of having to go back inside with him.
Of having to play more of the part, when this, me getting to be a little more of myself, has been so unexpected and nice.
“Here we are,” I repeat.
We stare at each other, the shadows of the night playing over his face and reminding me I barely know this man and that I do, in fact, want to know him more.
“I’d be more than happy to drive you home—”
“But—”
He puts a finger to my lips. “But that’s too personal.” He steps into me so that we’re both in the shadows now on the broad sidewalk.
“It’s too personal,” I agree as I draw in the scent of him, the feel of his palms as they run up and down my arms. And for the briefest of moments I forget what I’m doing here and that he’s paid me for it because all I can think about is him kissing me. All I want is him to.
“Why don’t we go—”
His lips close ever so slowly over mine so that I have no choice but to sink into the kiss. A kiss that’s soft and tender when every other one we’ve shared thus far has been raging with a lascivious desire.
But not this one.
My body heats up nerve by nerve. Muscle by muscle. Sensation by sensation.
Until he leans back so his forehead rests against mine and we breathe in the same air.
“Good night, Vaughn.”
What?
My head snaps up as Ryker takes a step back, regret owning every part of his expression, including the desire warring in his eyes.
“I don’t understand.” Flummoxed, I stand where I am and just watch him as he takes another step back and points to the taxi pulled up to the curb at my back.
“Your cab is here.” His smile is pained.
“But . . .”
He lifts a hand in silent goodbye before he turns the corner, leaving me staring after him as the taxi driver ushers me into the cab.
Tears sting my eyes as he pulls away from the curb.
Ryker just gave me exactly what I asked for—no sex—and yet every part of me is confused by it.
Because I want him.
And now I’m not exactly sure what I’m supposed to do about it.
