Sweet Ache

Sweet Ache - K. Bromberg I’d like to be played.

“Yeah. You know your hostility is obviously masking your true feelings.”

This is the journey you will weave through. Two people really needing deep seeded love but keeping themselves at arm’s length. As always, K. Bromberg writes to characters I can get invested in and root for their HEA. Both characters have issues that keep others at bay to defend against letting anyone too close. But the character I definitely attached to was Hawkin Play. If you’ve read any of the other previous novels in the series, you have met Quinlan. She was ‘mean girlish’ to me so I had harbored feelings for her that took me awhile to warm up to. Hawkin Play? Oh he had all my feels from the get go.

There are no big surprises or plot twists to leave you gasping. You learn about Hawkin’s demons in a well paced read. Of course what’s not to like about this novel, ultimate alpha racer Colton makes several appearances.

If you love the Driven series, this is definitely a must read. I actually like this better (4.5 stars) than Slow Burn, and I liked that one. If you haven’t read Driven series, this book could stand alone. Especially if you like musicians who know their way around a guitar pick.
