⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: Final Proposal by K. Bromberg 🎧
This was quick and bingeable, but ultimately a little unfulfilling. Bromberg is a one-click author for me, someone who delivers 5-star reads time and time again.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Hard to Love by K. Bromberg
Crackling chemistry from the very first interaction - this couple is absolutely combustible, and watching their cat and mouse game from the sidelines was totally engrossing. I wasn't sure what to expect from this antihero redeemed romance; Finn has been the "villain" throughout this series of interconnected standalones, and his history is somewhat problematic. But...
