Review ‘Slow Burn’ by K. Bromberg

From K. Bromberg, the New York Times and USA Today
bestselling author of the Driven series comes another pulse-raising,
unputdownable romance . . .

Get ready, because one night is about to change
everything.

One night. That’s all it was supposed to be . . .

Reeling from the sudden loss of her sister, Haddie
Montgomery has sworn off relationships. All she wanted from Beckett Daniels was
a sexy distraction to help her escape her pain for just a little while . .
.There weren’t supposed to be any strings attached-so why can’t she shake the
memory of that unforgettable night from her thoughts? Or the taste of his kiss
from her lips?

No matter how hard Haddie tries to forget about him,
Becks relentlessly tries to prove that she should start living for today. But
she is determined to avoid romantic commitment, and she can always use her
ex-boyfriend’s reappearance to help snuff out the slow burn within her that
Becks has sparked . . .

Or will fate force her to realize that this kind of
connection doesn’t come along very often and a chance at love is worth the
risk?

I’ve never read a book by K. Bromberg before this one. So
when I was asked to review this book, I didn’t really know what I could expect.
But when I read the book description and saw the beautiful cover I knew I just
had to read this book. This book sounded like one I would really enjoy and I couldn’t
wait to start reading. (‘Slow Burn’ is the fifth book in the Driven series but
can definitely be read as a standalone.)

In ‘Slow Burn’ we meet Haddie Montgomery. Haddie lost her
sister a couple of months ago and the pain of the loss is eating her away.
Haddie’s way of dealing with her loss is to enjoy one night stands. No pressure
and no strings. But one night, at Haddie’s best friend’s wedding, all she can
think about is finding a distraction for her hurt. Beckett Daniels happens to
be the perfect distraction. One night with him will be perfect. But
unfortunately for Haddie, Beckett isn’t easy to forget. Especially since he doesn’t
want her to forget the connection they shared.

The one thing I can say for sure after reading this book
is: WOW!! This book definitely is an emotional rollercoaster. From the moment I
started reading this book I couldn’t stop reading. I was just addicted to
Haddie and Beckett and I just didn’t want it to end.

Although I normally don’t really understand people who like
to have one night stands, I could definitely understand Haddie’s decision. But
Haddie and Beckett where so damn perfect for each other that I was really
hoping Haddie would open her heart for the handsome ‘Country’ boy.

Haddie’s loss and hurt where so well described by K.
Bromberg that I honestly cried for her. I could feel her pain and was just
really hurting beside her.

This book keeps you hooked until the very last page, and
even then you still really don’t want it to end. I loved this book and I loved
the emotions. K. Bromberg truly did an excellent job and I can’t love this book
more than I do now! I loved the writing style. This book was sexy but not too
much, it’s really more about the amazing connection Haddie and Beckett share. And
the ending… boy… I seriously screamed!!

This book is definitely a must read if your love romance
novels. It’s just perfect. I’ll definitely be reading the other books in this
series!
