Blog Tour: Worth the Risk by K. Bromberg

WorthTheRiskSBPRBTBanner


Synopsis

This whole contest was supposed to be easy. I know, I know. Famous last words.

It’s a long story, but I messed up at work. Big time. To earn back the trust of my boss, I promised to save one of our magazines. Yep. That Hot Dad contest you’ve seen advertised all over the place was my idea. And if I’m successful, if I’m able to increase our online readership, then I get a shot at my dream job.

But the one thing I never expected to happen, happened: Contestant number ten, Grayson Malone. Hello, Mr. Difficult. And did I mention sexy as hell?

Unfortunately he knows me. The old me, anyway. And while we might be older now, I remind him of before. Of the woman who broke his heart, who hardened him, and who left him alone to raise the cutest little boy I’ve ever seen.

But I don’t want a relationship. And I definitely don’t fall for single dads with baggage. Even ones with chiseled abs and killer smiles.

But he got to me. They got to me. Him and his son and their messy, crazy life. But I got to him too. I see the stolen glances. I feel the walls he built start to crumble. I recognize that there’s an unexpected beauty to the chaos in his life.

And now that the contest is about to end, we’re left to decide whether the last six months were just fun or if what we have is worth risking it all?

Review by Jen Skewes

KBROMBERG_worth_riskebookWorth the Risk is Grayson Malone's story which I could not wait for.  It is the third in the series but can be read as a standalone.  But because the Malone men are so irresistible I definitely recommend reading the first two.  Ms. Bromberg did not not disappoint.   She knew how to toy with my emotions, pull at my heart strings and make me feel everything.  

Sidney may have grown up in a small town but she was too big for that town.  She was one of those girls who had money, treated others as if they were beneath her and plans of leaving right after graduation.  And she did.  She’s been working for her father at one of his magazines and hopes that one day to secure her dream job.  But she has managed to screw up for the very last time.  He has a new assignment for her.  He’s sending her back home to help revive one of his his magazines.  The catch?  The magazine that needs help is a family magazine aimed towards moms, families and kids.  Something she knows nothing about and has no interest in. But this could lead to her dream job and she wants to make daddy proud. 

Grayson Malone is a single father who seems bitter at the world or maybe just towards woman.  When Sidney Thorton appears on his door step he wants nothing to do with her or her stupid magazine contest. She wasn’t the nicest person to him in high school.  But Sidney is not giving up.  She will get Grayson on board with, save the magazine and go back to her normal life.  Yeah but it may not be that simple.  Grayson Malone is a challenge and one that she can’t stop thinking about.  The attraction is there on both sides.  But for Grayson she reminds him so much of his past that he can't seem to move on from.  But there’s no denying that he feels something towards her, even if he hates to admit it.  He has walls up and trust is a major issue for him.  But maybe People change.  Maybe she changed, because he sure has.  Grayson needs to decide if being with Sidney is worth the risk!!   

This book had my emotions all over the place.  I absolutely loved Grayson and my heart broke for him and his son. But at the same time he could frustrate me like no other, to the point I wanted to slap some sense into him. He wasn’t always nice but his emotions were also all over and understandably so.  I felt for him and all he has gone through.  The pain he endured nine years ago. But that pain has caused him to be a bitter man, making it so hard to let go and let others in.  But beneath that is a single father who loves his son.  Luke is his world and he would do anything to protect him.  He is kind and sweet and loves helping others.  And not to mention how very sexy he is and his ability to talk dirty.  My Goodness!!!  He is the complete package.  

Sidney is one of those heroines who I was so certain I would not like or connect to in the beginning. But I couldn’t have been more wrong. I loved her and her determination.  I loved watching her transform from that rich daddy’s girl to someone who cared about more than just herself.  She was so much more to her that I think even she may not have seen it at first.  But coming back home, meeting Grayson and his son changed something in her and I loved it and I loved her!  

Worth the Risk was fantastic.  It was emotional, sexy and also fun.  The banter  between Grayson and his brothers had me smiling. But I also loved the other side of their relationship.  The one where they were there for each other and Grayson leaned on them for advice, even if at times it was unsolicited.  Ms. Bromberg once again proved why she is an amazing writer who can make you feel everything.  Because I did. I felt their pain, their heartache, their anger and frustration.  But I also felt the love and the chemistry between them.  I was so wrapped up in their world that I never wanted it to end.  I devoured this book from the moment I started reading.  Another amazing job.  





Excerpt

But by the time I reach her, my blood boils with irrationality spurred on by too much alcohol.“Can I have a moment?” I ask as I walk up to her and grab her elbow, pushing her down the darkened hallway.

“What is your problem?” She hisses as she fights me every step of the way.

We get looks. I get looks. I don’t care because all I keep seeing is Vince’s hands on her arm. His eyes on her tits. His bullshit game I can spot a mile away.

I find the closest door down the hallway leading to the bathrooms, and it opens. I push her through it, barely noticing that it’s an office of sorts before the door is shut, her back is up against it, and my mouth is covering hers.

Take.

Goddammit. That’s my only thought as I fit my lips to hers and take out my anger on her mouth with tongue and teeth and every fucking lick and nip in between.

“What—”

“I’m so pissed at you.”

It’s all I say. It’s the only chance I give her to come up for air before my lips are back on hers. Before my tongue wars with hers. Before my body admits it would beg, borrow, and steal in order to taste every other part of her.

Groan.

I swallow the tiny sound she makes in our kiss as my hands hold her neck still and my lips wage an all-out assault. She hesitates—just a split second—before she reacts. Before her body bows into me, and her mouth argues back.

Fist.

Her hand in my shirt. Her other hand at the back of my neck as our bodies meet—pressed knee to chest. Her perfume in my nose. Her hair tickling my cheeks. The feel of her tits against my chest.

Give.

I can’t get enough.

I’m mad at her.

I want her.

I don’t want to want her.

Christ, do I want her.

“Gray.” A murmured protest.

I tear my lips from hers, shove off the door I have her pressed against, and stride to the other side of the room.

“You are . . . you just . . .” It’s as if I can barely breathe. Christ, I’m mad at you.”

She stands there, lips parted, chest heaving, and golden brown curls messed from my hands, but her eyes look hurt. A hurt I don’t want to see but can’t deny.

“Why?”

“You did this,” I accuse as I try to manage the anger that’s waging a war against my desire.

“Did what?” Her eyes narrow. Her hand goes to press against her chest.

“Made me want you.”

Grayson: I’ve been thinking about you all day.

I look down at the text and smile before turning my attention back to Rissa and our plans for how we’re going to end this round of voting and move on to the top five.

“So, I think we close it out and then maybe take the next week and announce one of the finalists each day. Give little tidbits about each of them, make readers like them more, just have fun with it.”

My phone beeps again with another text, and I bite back the new grin trying to form on my lips. Rissa only huffs, eyeing my phone with annoyance. “Sorry, let me turn my ringer off.”

And then I have to feign nonchalance when I look down at my phone and find another text.

Grayson: My dick is rock hard, and it’s you I’m imagining. It’s in my hand when I’d rather it be in your mouth with my fingers in your pussy, working you into a frenzy.

“Is everything okay?” Rissa asks, making me realize I must have made a noise when I read the text. “You look startled.”

I glance back at the text again and shake my head while every part of my body comes to life. “Yeah, it’s, uh, fine.”

“Your ringer.” Her brows are lifted as she glances to my phone and then back to me.

My finger?” I squeak, thinking she saw the phone screen.

“Ringer. Sound on your phone.”

“Oh, yes . . . sorry.” Flustered, I fumble with my cell, and before I can even switch it off, another text alert pings.

Grayson: I want to bend you over and watch as my cock slides in and out of you.

“So back to next week . . .”

“Yes,” I swallow over the desire lodged in every place it should be and try not to glance at my phone as it vibrates again.

“Are you good with that plan?” Rissa asks as I shift in my seat to abate the sudden ache burning brighter than bright.

“Yes. Sure. I think that sounds like a great plan.”

Grayson: I want my cock buried so deep that you feel every damn inch of me.

“Are you sure you’re okay?”

“Yeah, why?” My voice breaks like a prepubescent teenager.

Grayson: I want you to come so hard you have to bite the pillow.

“You look a little flushed. Are you coming down with something?”

Grayson: You always have a choice. Isn’t that what you said to me once? Make a choice, Sidney. Isn’t it time to head to lunch?

“I mean, yeah, maybe.” I pull at my collar some. “Maybe that’s why I feel so flushed all of a sudden.”

Grayson: Meet me on the backside of The Cottages. Room Six. Fifteen minutes.

“Either that,” she says as she stands and heads to the door, only turning back to give me a wink, “or you’re guilty as hell. Maybe you should go take care of that itch texting you . . . or take some Tylenol. Whichever one it is, I think you should take the afternoon off.”

Grayson: Choose me.

“Oh.” It’s the only thing I can think to say because my brain is otherwise occupied imagining Grayson following through on his promises.

“And, Sid?”

“Yeah?”

“I sure hope he’s every bit worth breaking the rules.” She winks. “It’s about damn time. Your secret is safe with me.”
