Book Description:
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.

***ARC received for an honest review***
“Tell me what to do, Harper.”
It’s a quickie, but a goodie and I never thought I would see
the day that K Bromberg could condense her words to 120 pages.
It is hard to really connect with characters in such few
pages but K Bromberg managed to spark that connection with Sweet Rivalry. While
we are treated to a smidgeon of their back story it was just enough to whet the
appetite and have you itching to see just what was in store for Ryder and
Harper.
Ryder and Harper were bitter rivals in grad school, both
were fantastic at what they did, self-assured, opinionated and highly
competitive. These two fuelled one another along, to get better, to be better
and more importantly to win. Their fierce rivalry though gave way to an
undercurrent of sexual tension of which the culmination of was one kiss. That
kiss left its mark though, but when would these two cross paths again?
“The sweet rivalry between us
just became a whole lot sweeter.”
Over a decade later, walking into an office to compete for a
huge construction project Ryder and Harper come face to face once again. Rivals
once again, but it seems that sizzle is still there and the way that these two
just look at one and other, combustion isn’t far away.
“I got off thinking about you
last night.”
These two were seriously hot together and the undercurrent
of sexual tension was captured perfectly. This was a quick light read,
perfectly paced and with fantastic banter that will have you smiling from ear
to ear. But more than that, this was a story of morals, trust and believing in
doing the right thing. No matter how many years spent apart, some things are
worth a lot more than a wedge of green.
Totally loved it.

Excerpt:
He takes a step
toward me then hesitates, but before I can process anything else, his lips are
on mine.
And not just on
mine––not just a brush of lips against lips—but I’m talking all in. Hands on my
cheeks, tongue licking between my lips, body pressed against mine, groan in the
back of his throat, type of all in.
I don’t react at
first. I’m stunned. Flabbergasted, my mind reeling from the anger to the surprise to now this without any warning at
all.
This is Ryder.
My rival.
My supporter.
My crush.
The thoughts flicker
that this is what I’ve wanted. But they soon shift to panic. To insecurity I
don’t kiss well enough. That this is all a joke and I’m the butt of it.
But then I
feel. Everything. All at once.
And I know this is
real.
It’s like I can’t
catch my breath and have too much air all at the same time.
My body is on fire.
And not just from his touch but from that burn deep inside that feels like it’s
exploding and imploding all at once.
So this is what it feels like to really be
kissed.
It’s a fleeting
thought before the sensations, the moment, the emotions, consume me whole.
His hands move my face
to change the angle of the kiss. His fingertips on the line of my jaw singe my
skin. His lips move expertly against mine, and all I can do is feel. All I can
do is want.
Thinking isn’t an
option.
The anger from
before has morphed to want. The adrenaline has recharged with desire.
There is no rivalry.
There is no
graduation ceremony tomorrow I’m missing to catch my flight.
There is no panic
over if I’ll ever see him again.
It’s just him.
And me.
The scent of his cologne in my nose. The heat
of his body against mine. The taste of hunger in his kiss.
