Release
Day – Oct 23
Standalone
From the New York Times bestselling author, K.
Bromberg, comes a new series about three brothers, the job that calls them, and
the women who challenge them.
“I hate you. I never
want to see you again.”
Grant Malone is not
the reason I moved back to Sunnyville—at least that’s what I tell myself. Yet,
those parting words I said to him back in third grade, ring in my ears every
time a townsperson brings up one of the Malone boys. I thought
time had healed my wounds. I was wrong.
Nothing could have prepared me for how I felt when I finally saw him again.
Twenty years does a lot to turn a boy into a man. One who
hits all my buttons—sexy, funny, attractive, and a police officer. But Grant is off limits because he knows too much about my past.
But I’m drawn to him.
That damn uniform of his doesn’t hurt either. It’ll be my downfall. I know it.
What’s one night
of sex going to hurt . . . right?
***
I’ve always loved Emmy
Reeves.
That’s why I’m shocked to see her all these years later. The
shy girl I once knew is all grown up.
Adventurous and full of life, she owns my heart now, just as
much as she did back then. Convincing her of that is a whole different story.
I’ll
give her the one night she asks for—like
that’s a hardship—but when it comes to letting her walk away
after, she has
another thing coming. There’s no way in hell I’m letting her go this time
without a fight.

REVIEW:
I rarely know what to expect when going into a K.Bromberg
novel, but over time, I have come to know without a doubt, that I WILL get a
novel packed full with passion, love, and meaning. CUFFED had that and then
some! Kristy truly knows how to write a remarkable romance!
At 8 years old, Emerson “Emmy” and Grant “Phony Maloney”
make a pinky promise. “You have to pinky
promise, Grant Malone, that if I tell you this secret, you won’t tell another
person, ever, ever, ever. If you do, I’ll never be your friend again. Cross
your heart and hope to die.” –Emmy. Emmy confides in Grant because he’s her
best friend, neighbor and the only she trusts. She can no longer hold in her
painful secret. Well some secrets can’t be kept, especially when that secret
could hurt someone. Grant breaks his pinky promise to Emmy. “I hate you. I never want to see you again.”
–Emmy. Those are the last words he hears before she leaves his life for good. Fast
forward 20 years, Grant is a police officer. He hasn’t seen, nor heard from
Emmy since that day, and now fate has them bumping into each other while he’s
on duty. Grant has not forgotten his childhood friend and has always wondered
what became of her. Emmy clearly has not forgotten Grant either, or the secret
he never kept. Emmy’s always been in the back of Grant’s mind, but now that she’s
standing right in front of him, he can’t deny his ever present curiosity with
her and also, the obvious attraction between them. Now that Emerson is living
back in his hometown, Grant is determined to get back the relationship they
once had. He realizes real quickly though that Emmy isn’t who she used to be
and is very guarded. Grant is determined to break down her walls and get her to
open up to him and get her to face her past. He’s going to prove to her she’s
beautiful on the inside AS WELL the outside. But of course, Emerson isn’t going
to give in that easily, that’s not the type of woman she is. What with the past
like hers, opening up and feeling is nearly impossible for her to do. As much
as Grant pushes, she’s going to pull away just as hard.
“Did you really think I was going to let you go without a fight? I’ve lost you once before, Em. You’re out of your mind if you think I’m going to let it happen again?” –Grant.
This is quite an emotional and powerful start to
Kristy’s EVERYDAY HEROES series! It is, in a sense, a “second-chance” romance,
along with a story line that centers on “friends to lovers”, but I have to say,
it is SO MUCH more than just those 2 categories. CUFFED is packed full of raw
feeling, real personal obstacles, consuming passion, and undeniable love. Grant
and Emmy’s story was completely unique in its entirety. Their story took me on
a tender and moving journey that I did not expect. I applaud Kristy for breaching
this topic in a novel and doing, what I think, was a phenomenal job of
expressing what would be going through someone’s mind while enduring what Emmy
did. I can imagine that Emmy's character has the potential to resonate with
readers/fans all around the world. Her strength and sense of hopelessness made
her relatable and awe inspiring. She was such a resilient character that had me
feeling her pain and hopes right along with her. I wanted Grant to show her the
beauty in herself and he did just that! #HeadUpWingsOut
This novel was about overcoming your past and learning
to cope. No matter the scars of
the past, you are beautiful inside AND out. CUFFED made me believe
in forgiveness and allowing yourself the help of others. Sometimes you do need
a hero to save you. This novel also has PLENTY of swoon moments! #OfficerSexy.
You will fall in love with Grant, right along with Emmy, I know I did. All I
have to say is, don’t judge a book by its cover because there is SO MUCH MORE
than sexy abs in here (but don’t worry, there are plenty of abs as well
*wink*). A MUST read! Now, I’m anxious to see where Kristy takes the next
2 Malone men’s stories. Grant’s brothers (Grady and Grayson) will be getting
spinoff novels next. All 3 stories are standalones, but should be read in
order.
5 stars!
