Release Blitz + Review | Hard to Handle by K. Bromberg --> 4.5 Stars
TITLE: Hard to Handle
SERIES: Play Hard #1
AUTHOR: K. Bromberg
GENRE: Contemporary Romance
RELEASE DATE: June 30th, 2020
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. I’ll never date a client. Not even for him. *** Win the Stanley Cup and do it before time runs out. Not a small feat, but it’s what’s motivated me since the start of my career. And time is running out. Enter Dekker Kincade. Feisty. Dogged. Damn gorgeous. The one I let get away. I have no idea why she’s traveling with the team, but hell if resisting her is going to be easy. But I have a job to do, and I refuse to lose sight of that end game. Even if she confuses me. Even if she sees parts of me I’ve hidden from the world. I can’t lose focus. Not even for her.

⭐️ 4.5 "Stick. Skill. Finess." Stars ⭐️
From the synopsis of this book only, I was expecting a light and sexy read! I should have known that coming from K. Bromberg this novel would be so much more! Hard to Handle is a sports / enemies to lovers / second chance romance that entertains with its main couple sharing a fierce attraction, but also a profound emotional bond that develops so beautifully! Dekker Kincade is a driven heroine working in a men’s world as a sports agent. Her father’s management company is looking for new recruits and Hunter Maddox, the star hockey player, is the perfect candidate! She has history with the man and it shows right away with scenes oozing with desire! The flame is still burning hot between them, the teasing being really alluring! Both of them are closed off to their feelings though and makes their reunion charged with animosity! I loved how Hunter is cocky and charming, using sexy innuendos. But he’s also so much more than this version of himself he shows to the world. He’s having a very difficult time in his personal life, and it seems that there’s only Dekker seeing his real struggle and understanding him. Spending time together only make them grow closer and it’s breathtaking to see them become more vulnerable to the other. Hard to Handle was a very good start to the Play Hard Series with a complex plot line that brought all the feels! Now, I’m absolutely intrigued about the other Kincade sisters chasing their new clients in the next books!
