Story
At first, the request seemed simple - sign a new athlete to the agency. Then I found out the new athlete was none other than the most wanted man in hockey today: Hunter Maddox. Gifted. Sexy. At the top of his game. And the only man who has ever broken my heart. If signing him will help save our family business, I’ll swallow my pride and do what’s asked. But when it becomes clear his uncharacteristic antics off the ice are a hint of something deeper, keeping things strictly professional between us becomes more than complicated. But I know better than to cross that line.

Story
He's big. He's sexy. And he's hung. The first time I met Pick Revere I tried to bash his head in with a baseball bat. The second time, I kissed the ever-loving daylights out of him on a dare. For a girl who's on the lam and hiding from her cop ex, I'm failing miserably at laying low. Instead, I'm going up in delicious flames - because Pick's the hottest, roughest, toughest bad boy firefighter I've ever laid eyes (or lips) on.

With a famous NHL player for a stepbrother, Violet Hall is well acquainted with the playboy reputation of many a hockey star. So of course she isn't interested in legendary team captain Alex Waters or his pretty, beat-up face and rock-hard six-pack abs. But when Alex inadvertently obliterates Violet's misapprehension regarding the inferior intellect of hockey players, he becomes much more than just a hot body with the face to match.

It was a hot summer day when I met him on the construction site next to my parents' house. Under the sweat and dirt, Manning Sutter was as handsome as the sun was bright. He was older, darker, experienced. I wore a smiley-face t-shirt and had never even been kissed. I was too young, he said. I would wait. But I'd learn that no matter what you achieve in life, it means nothing if you suffer the heartbreak that comes with falling for someone you can never have. Because even though I saw Manning first, that didn't matter. My older sister saw him next.

It was just a typical Monday. Until the big boss asked me to make the pitch for a prospective new client. After two years on shaky ground at work because of my screw up, an opportunity to impress the senior partners was just what I needed. Or so I thought, until I walked into the conference room and collided with the man I was supposed to pitch to. My coffee spilled, my files tumbled to the ground, and I almost lost my balance. And that was the good part of my day. Because the gorgeous man who crouched down and looked at me like he wanted to eat me alive was none other than my ex.

Ford Donovan was too young for me. Let’s back up to how it all started. My best friend decided I needed to start dating again. So, without my knowledge, she set up a profile for me on a popular dating site - one that invited men ages 21 to 27 to apply for a date.

Finding a good roommate through a classified ad isn’t as easy as it sounds. I was starting to lose hope. Until a knock at my door came, and God answered my prayers. Except...uh...wrong prayer, God. I’d definitely requested the big guy find me a drop-dead gorgeous man on more than one occasion...just not as my roommate. Declan Tate talked me into interviewing him anyway. While he was amusing and charismatic, I wouldn’t have been comfortable living with a man, so I regretfully declined. Then, cupcakes showed up at my door.

Bennett Fox walked into my life on one hell of a crappy Monday morning. I was late for the first day at my new job - a job I’d now have to compete for, even though I’d already worked eight years to earn it, because of an unexpected merger. While I lugged my belongings up to my new office, a meter maid wrote me a parking summons. She’d ticketed a long line of cars - except for the Audi parked in front of me, which happened to be the same make and model as mine. Annoyed, I decided to regift my ticket to the car that had evaded a fine.

Publisher's Summary
New York Times best-selling author K. Bromberg is back with a new Kincade sister and a swoon-worthy football player in an all new stand-alone romance that will make you believe in first crushes and true love.
I’ve signed numerous players to my family’s agency - I assumed winning over my next client would be just as easy.
The last thing I expected was to run into the boy who took my first kiss and broke my heart: only now Drew Bowman is all grown up.
Sexy. Scandal-tainted. Second-string. The crush I never got over.
I tell myself work is the reason I can’t get him out of my head. I tell him his talent far outweighs his position, and I know I can help. I lie and lie, because admitting that I want a second chance at my first love is impossible.
Some lines cannot be crossed, and ours was drawn in the sand years ago.
***
I’m supposed to hate her.
I’ve been told so time and again for 10 years - her father ruined our family, smeared my name before my career even began.
But that’s not what I’m feeling now.
Brexton Kincade just strode out of my memories and onto my field.
Driven. Determined. Grown up. The Capulet to my Montague.
Being with her would be an unforgivable sin against my father, but I can’t resist the pull between us. Even if it means hiding what we have. Even if it means confronting the secrets I’ve always feared were lies.

Great Read!
I loved so many things about this book. I loved the history between the two main characters. I loved how they fought to overcome their obstacles. I loved the outcome. And what’s not to love about a football romance with a sexy QB as the hero?!! I just wish Drew would have gotten his head out of his a$$ a little sooner. Brex had the patience of a saint! And...the helmet initials...my favorite part ❤️ Superb narration. Credit worthy. Enjoy!!

Great Childhood Friends to Lovers Story
“I want to be his safe place. The place he can turn to when he needs solace from it all. The arms that will hold him when uncertainty owns him. The heart that will love him above all else.” Review: This is Book 3 in the Play Hard series. It focuses on Brexton, who is the 2nd oldest Kincade sister. Brexton is a sports agent working for her fathers agency. Drew is the New York Raptors 2nd string quarterback. Brexton and Drew's families grew up spending time together. Bratty Brex and Dreadful Drew. Brexton always had a crush on Drew, but it seemed to be one sided. Due to a fallout, their families severed ties, but no one really knows why. Years later they run into each other and there is a pull to each other. The same pull they felt as teenagers. They continue to run into each other as if the universe is trying to tell them something. But how can Drew be drawn again to the one woman in a family that destroyed his. Drew is amazing and absolute book boyfriend material. With a heart of gold caring for his family and doing what he can to help them. Brexton believes in Drew and sees his potential, unlike his own father seems to. These two were so perfect for each other. The chemistry, the sparks, second chances and hope. I absolutely loved their story. I love childhood friends to lovers, it's basically tied with my favorite trope. I love the update we got on Dekker and Hunter as well as Lennox and Rush. I just love seeing how their lives continue to evolve. I am excited for the youngest sister Chase in the next book! I listened to the audiobook by Joe Arden an Maxine Mitchell. They both did a great job and I really enjoyed it! Don't miss this one!

This one definitely scored!
When Brexton Kincade crosses paths with Drew Bowman, her whole past comes back. She's a grown woman, a successful sports agent and she shouldn't feel so flustered by running into Drew... but he was her first kiss and their families were inseparable until they became enemies. She's basically Juliet and he is Romeo in this scenario, and still her heart beats so much faster at the sight of him. She also can't understand why he's being delegated to bench warming when he's an incredibly talented QB and that irks her.
Drew is supposed to stay away from Brexton. Her father ruined his father's career, destroying their lives. But there she is, all grown up and irresistible and he'll have to face the secrets that he's always feared were lies if he wants a future with her.
Oh my word! This is my favorite in the series so far! Drew is that kind of tortured hero that you want to hug and bake cookies for and you can't not root for Brexton, who's finally realizing she never forgot the boy from her past. I was rooting for them so much! This second chance romance is absolutely sweet (but spicy!). I loved seeing their backstory and how they found their way back to each other.
Narration: narrated by the power duo Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell - a delight for fans!

Suspense, forbidden love and an outstanding narration!
Still swooning over this sweet childhood friends to lovers story between Braxton Kincaid and Drew Bowman. My heart completely melted when they used the nicknames from childhood, “Bratty Brenton and Dreadful Drew” throughout the whole story! It’s a plot that is so enticing as their paths cross again now he’s in the NFL and she’s a sports agent for her family company, but yet also so many unknowns into their past that have kept them apart. “Two kids whose parents were best friends, who vacationed together and then acted like the other didn’t exist after scandal hit.” The suspense of the past and the forbidden love of Drew and Brexton will have you completely captivated on every page! Also, be prepared for so many incredible moments that will make your heart flutter!
LOVED Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell for the narration of this book! Their performance had me completely immersed in the story and feeling every bit of it! Their voices mesh so well together and help the story come to life! A phenomenal performance!

Superb Narration for a Sweet Romance
Maxine Mitchell and Joe Arden are perfection personified. Love them so and they were the right duo to voice Brexton and Drew who are so adorable. I loved that this was a romance between childhood friends. Maxine does a great job voicing the sweet, caring, balls busting Brexton with Joe Arden being the perfect match for Drew who is conflicted about the love he's always had for Brexton and the possibility that her family ruined his and that love would be a betrayal.
Highly recommend.

5 Dreamy Drew Stars!
5 Dreamy Drew Stars! Another fantastic listen by K. Bromberg. This series gets better with each one. Scorching hot chemistry, witty banter and all the feels. Drew is absolutely swoon worthy but has the weight of the world on his shoulders. Brexton is feisty and strong and perfect in many ways for Drew. Throw in a second chance type storyline and it’s PERFECTION. ABSOLUTELY one click this AMAZING story. Narration is fantastic!
