Beautiful!

What a beautiful story! So heart wrenching!!!
There are triggers in this book for child abuse.
As a mother, my heart was torn apart in parts of this story. Then to have my heart put back together word by word.
No review could ever do this story justice!
Beautifully written and very tough subject matter handled tenderly.
Bravo Kristy! Your words never cease to amaze me!

Emotional reunion...

Just a short warning about triggers present in this story, so if you are sensitive to child molestation as a trigger this story may not be for you. The hero and heroine in this story were best friends as children, until something happens and suddenly she is gone. Years later, she reappears in their hometown where he is now a police officer. The heroine still blames him for her departure and feels he betrayed her confidence. The rebuilding of their relationship is what the story is about and the ability of her to trust in anyone is the question. I enjoyed this book very much and the narration was excellent.

Good book but not fan of narrator Maxine Mitchell

Loved the narrator Joe Arden for Grant, but didn't like Maxine as the other narrator for Emerson. I felt like Emerson was the biggest winer and couldn't figure out what she wanted through the whole book for her life and Grant. Maxine sounded to old for Emerson age in the book. I actually preferred to listen to Joe Arden narrate the book more. I hope when they bring the audio for Combust book out that Maxine is not the narrator again for that next book.
Now that this was said. I'm still a huge fan of K Bromberg books but this book didn't get me feeling that I loved it and would read it again like her other books make me feel. So that is why I rated this a 3 star.

Regardless of the woman's history

I got sick of her whininess. I have noticed this in a number of women in stories recently and thought--can I stand to read through this shrill whiny character? It resolves ok but I really had a hard time stomaching chapter after chapter of her responses.

Sparkle

What a gem this book is! There are so many facets to this well written book. The story has so many emotions in it. The main theme I took away from the story was "Define or Fuel", with tragedy choosing to fuel the character, not define it. The topic of child molestation is difficult to hear about, but the author wrote this story in such a beautiful and gripping way. I loved how K.Bromberg wrote such truism into this book like trust is a hard thing to earn back, love hard in the present and not need to know the details of the past, heads up, wings out. Another aspect I found moving in this book was how the choice to do right, brought focus to what needs changed. Both narrators delivered so much with their performance, it was perfect. I received a review copy audiobook and have voluntarily written this review. I will definitely listen to more books by this author and both narrators, as each one is so talented. I can't wait to listen to the second book in this series! This is a standalone listen and does not end in a cliffhanger.

whiney narrator<br /><br />

I absolutely must avoid books narratedby the female narrator. I hear a whine on the end of each phrase.

Loved this!

K. Bromberg does an amazing job of delivering characters you can't help but fall in love with. The chemistry between Grant and Emmy is sizzling to say the least. They have so much history to work through but you are routing them on the whole way.I loved the story and the feels it gave me.

Not only are we given a heart touching story but the narration is top notch! Joe and Maxine gave these characters amazing depth and really brought them to life. I loved Maxine's Male character voice. It was fabulous and absolutely added to the overall enjoyment of this book.

Great job all around- so glad I read it. Can't wait to read Combust and get more of these Sexy Malone brothers!

Outstanding beginning to a new series.

Loved it! Best is the painted rocks connection. Narrators were smooth and gave enjoyable performance.

Beautifully Written

K Bromberg kept me twisting and smiling throughout this beautiful love story. It's serious and funny while simultaneously melting my heart.

Not for the weak of heart

Grant and Emmy have a history that expands twenty years.
Except, years ago Grant broke a pinky promise with Emmy.
Emerson's father was molesting his daughter and much worse.
Do not read this book if you can't handle this.
Years later, Grant is "Officer Sexy", dubbed by the local women. With good reason.
He's ridiculously handsome. And kind.
During one of his calls, he comes upon a little girl who is going through similar problems. Only her father likes to hit her and his wife.
Emmy runs a sky diving school.
While trying to get a loan, the bank officer, who is lower than low.
He'll guarantee a loan... if Emmy has sex with him.
When she refuses, he informs her that the school has been sold.
All in all, through all the darkness, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
I cried for Emmy as an eight year old. And I cried for the little girl who's father beat her.
And I laughed as Grant's brothers, Grady and Grayson, invade his house regularly.
Brothers will be brothers and all that.... they, along with his parents are a force to be reckoned with.
Enjoy Cuffed.
The ending will make you really smile!
Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell put in wonderful readings, as usual.
