SYNOPSIS:
Ryder
Rodgers had a plan.
He was going
to stride into the conference room, do the required song and dance over the
next five days, and win the biggest contract of his career. But when he walked
in and heard the voice of one of his competitors, all his plans were shot to
hell.
Harper
Denton. She was always on top. In college. First in their class. Always using
every advantage to edge him out to win the coveted positions. The only one who
could beat him. His academic rival. More like a constant thorn in his side. And
his ego’s.
When he
heard her voice, he was brought back to years before. To the bitter taste of
being second best. But the woman who meets his gaze is nothing like the drab
wallflower he used to know. Hell no. She was all woman now: curves, confidence,
and staggering sex appeal. And no doubt, still brilliant.
The fact
that she’s gorgeous and bright won’t distract him. This time, Ryder’s
determined to be the one on top. But not if Harper can help it.

REVIEW:
Imagine walking into a conference room with one goal…beating
out everyone else. Winning the coveted secret contract. Being the only woman in
the room to come out on top. Harper Denton is a woman in the male dominated
world of construction management. She’s been away from the business for two
years now and no one know she has returned. She is determined to prove to
everyone (especially the industry that has let her down) that she is still very
much the no-nonsense, ball busting businesswoman that she was before. “…winning
this bid is undeniable my number one priority. The only want I’ll allow myself
to have. Leaving without winning the contract is not an option.” –Harper. But
all that competitiveness, strategy and fire is fueled when Harper realizes that
one of her competitors for this contract is none other than her college rival,
who happens to also have been her supporter and longtime crush, Ryder Rodger.
They are both vying for the same multimillion dollar contract. “This bid just became so much more than
numbers.” –Harper. But Harper’s beat Ryder before and she will do it again.
Who cares if Ryder has transformed into the mythical guy that pushes all of her
buttons…both lust and irritation buttons. Beard, tats, muscles and brains. But nonetheless,
she is determined to stay focused on the end game…winning the bid. She has more
to lose than just the contract, she has staked her job on this win. But when
Ryder’s usual sarcastic demeanor isn’t there and is replaced with something
else…want…need…desire, she finds herself slipping. “This is the man I used to want, and yet now I understand that the want
I knew before as a coed was nothing compared to the desire I can acknowledge
and crave for as an adult.” Ryder has reignited that want inside her and it’s
impossible to deny. The s*xual chemistry that was started 13 years ago has just
been set ablaze and is rapidly reaching boiling point. But being stuck in a
boardroom for five days together shouldn’t be a problem. She isn’t called “Ice
Queen” for nothing. But with thoughts
of their unfinished encounter from 13 years ago on a constant replay now that
they are in such close quarters, both Ryder and Harper are unable to deny the
pull they have toward each other. “I’m
not doing this again. Not going to let her run away from me because she’s too
scared to admit what she wants.” –Ryder.
Can 13 years of lust be contained?
This longstanding
rivalry between Harper and Ryder was tangible and gripping from page one! ABSOULTELY
COMBUSTIBLE! The ever present tension between them – s*xual and competitive—was
ON POINT! And the forbidden/second chance aspect was seamlessly executed. Kristy
Bromberg’s ability to paint such a clear history and then convey such intensity
between these two characters AND hook the reader in such short amount of time,
is a true testament to her storytelling and writing abilities. I could not get
enough of Ryder and Harper’s competitive spirits and their lust driven
encounters. They not only dominated the boardroom, but my thoughts as well. It
was exciting to read about their restraint being tested and how they handled it
throughout the novel.
I beginning to learn that I have a love/hate relationship
with novellas. I love them because then I get the chance to read about a
secondary character that I might not have otherwise been able to read. But I
hate them, because they are TOO darn short! And SWEET RIVALRY was no different…I
was left satisfied, but yet craving more, which is a kudos to Kristy Bromberg! I
want more of Ryder and Harper’s banter and encounters! And another kudos to
Kristy, I now have a particular fondness for bearded and tatted men *wink*. Ryder was everything I imagined
he would be and then some! He was the perfect contradiction: refined business
man outside the suit, but tatted bad boy inside the suit. *fans self* And Harper was his perfect match in every way! “I want to be met match for match. That’s
what I find sexy, Harper.” –Ryder. She sure brought her A-game and made him
fight until the very end!
