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 isnothing 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.

When you're a fan of K.Bromberg, you will read anything and everything she delivers so long as you'll get your fix on her....
That's the right description of me right now. I have been a fan of this author ever since and that to say, I've been looking forward to read Sweet Rivalry. This novella glued me the moment I started reading it, that and the fact that I've been so curious about the trending "beard burn". I'm mean, who's not right? We all know it's possible...we all know there's this thing called "beard burn", but what I wanted to know was, how it's being portrayed in the story. How it come up? A That being said, I was turning the pages like a woman on a mission, intent to find out the pleasure that is "beard burn"....
"Just in case you were wondering, beard burn is a real thing."
And boy...oh boy...I was given more than what I was intent on looking. K. Bromberg gave me more than what I look forward to.Sure it was a short story..a novella for that matter, but it was so condensed as if I was reading a long book, not missing a thing. Everything is just perfectly delivered. GAHD! The characters..I was so invested on them, much more because this a second romance-ish and enemies to lovers-ish trope, just my kind of thing. Their interaction was straightforward coated wit just the right amount of heat. It sizzles and it burns. The chemistry was on point, the sexual tension so thick, passionate and powerful, it was swoony and hot and dirty-ish. Office sex? Yes count me in! And K did so well delivering it. Hot and bothersome were the right words added up so damn sweet and sexy ending on top of good moral, perfectly written and I was all in.
Overall, this novella proves how excellent K.Bromberg is, as a writer. Sweet Rivalry was short but satisfying. Covering all aspects while delivering and portraying it excellently, engaging the readers with pure enjoyment.Seriously, it was addicting!
EXCERPT:
Work first. Reward sex next.
That’ll give me something to look forward to during the next few days. The ones I can’t wait to dive headfirst into that will be an ever-changing combination of stress, exhaustion, strategy, and manipulation. An unscripted dance amongst us bidders while we size each other up, calculate our numbers, and explain to the developer why we’re the most valuable candidate for the job.
It’s the game I love. The competition I thrive on. My return to the job that I’ve been desperate to make.
And there’d be no better way to make a statement that Harper Denton is back than to leave this building with the multimillion dollar contract for Meteor Development tucked securely under my arm.
And just like that, as a reward for my positive thinking, when I look up, there he is, in full view.
I take in the expensive briefcase, the venti Starbucks, and the expensive watch peeking out from beneath the cuff of his shirt. And just my luck that while I’m afforded a full view of his body, the one thing I’m the most curious about is obscured by his hand holding his cell phone up to his ear: his face.
So instead I drink him in. He really is magnificent. I note his posture and the way he carries his body when he moves forward a few steps. There’s an air about him that says he’s no-nonsense and in control, powerful, and at the same time he doesn’t seem uptight. He has that Southern
California professional vibe. I can’t put my finger on it but he reminds me of someone I can’t quite place. Regardless, a man who can pull off being in control and playful has definite merits.
Like “spank me until my body aches in want, and then make a game of hitting each erogenous zone with his tongue before he’ll satisfy that ache he created and let me come” type of merits.
The mind-blowing-sex reward just became even more appealing.
