3.5 stars

Twisted Knight is a steamy enemies to lovers workplace romance with an intriguing revenge plot. The two MCs Rowan and Holden were very different and interesting in their own ways and I enjoyed the dual POV. Rowan is the face of her family’s company but would prefer to be CEO, and Holden is a wealthy standoffish businessman with a lot of secrets. I enjoyed their interactions and the forbidden aspect and the spice was good. There was a definite cliffhanger which had me wanting to read the next book and I’m really interested in seeing how the revenge plot plays out.

Thank you to Tor & NegGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I ate this up, I devoured it. It was an easy fast paced read, and i really enjoyed it!

If there's one thing that really stayed with me about this book, it's that evil as heck cliffhanger. I honestly did not expect (nor did I know) that 1) there would be a cliffhanger and 2) that this was part of a interconnected series, so if you plan to start this book, be warned, it's not a rough ending and you will want the sequel immediately. That being said, Twisted Knight isn't particularly special, it's the kind of angsty, romance novel with a revenge plotline you've read before but I do think K. Bromberg executes the blend of tension, steam and revenge well. I did enjoy the overall experience, there were moments of high tension that made me turn the page faster while there were slower chapters that made me want to savor the moments between Holden and Rowan. I will definitely be picking up the second book, especially after that ending.

Premier tome de la saga Tangled Hearts de K Bromberg, je me suis régalée avec Twisted Knight. La tension sera à son comble dès les premières pages car nous savons que nos héros sont s'affronter dans une partie d'échecs à grande échelle.

Rowan Rothschild est née avec une cuillère en argent dans la bouche mais elle est vraiment intéressée par l'entreprise familiale. A la mort d'Eleanor, sa grand-mère, elle devra faire face, une fois de plus, à l'arrogance de son frère. Le testament est clair mais son pouvoir sera encore fort. J'ai détesté cet homme qui est toujours avec son meilleur ami Chad et qui veut le pouvoir sans se soucier de la moinde éthique. Par le biais de flashbacks, nous allons vite comprendre certaines choses et attendre que la situation explose. Rowan va encore ronger son frein et c'est vraiment rageant de voir la position de femme objet qu'on lui attribue. Elle saura montrer son caractère à notre héros et les étincelles pourraient bien fuser.

Holden Knight est de retour à Westmore et il est passé de l'autre côté de la barrière. Sans trop en dire, nous allons voir que c'est un homme en mission, qui va placer ses pions et s'amuser de la situation. L'heure de la vengeance a sonné et on comprend qu'elle sera terrible. De manière assez ironique, il donnera de la valeur aux paroles de Rowan mais on craint quand même qu'elle soit un dommage plus que collatéral. Elle a de la force mais elle a, elle aussi, ses combats à mener. Des secrets seront donc tus et on espère qu'une issue non fatale pourra émerger. J'ai aimé en savoir plus sur ce héros qui ne reculera devant rien. Il saura me toucher car sa mission est logique.

Bref, une romance enemies to lovers que j'ai adoré découvrir. K Bromberg a su distiller la tension au fil des pages et des retournements de situations. On sait que la situation est inéluctable mais quel sera le prix à payer pour nos deux héros.

This being the first book I have read by this author I wasn’t really sure what to expect. This is an enemies to lovers romance. Holden Knight had some associations with the Rothschild family when he was younger and because of that he has returned to town to take over their company. Now Holden arrives mysteriously and the town is questioning who he is and what he wants. At a charity event where Holden beats Rhett out of bidding on a painting he is approached by Rowan. Rowan who I wanted to like but just couldn’t. She is determined to save her family’s company so she can run it. But, she is just running in circles because her family keeps her in the dark and does things behind her back, like selling a majority of stocks in the company. Now, Rowan is attracted to Holden but also in what I consider a bizarre plot move tells Holden all these family secrets and she doesn’t even know who he is. For someone who is so protective of this company why would she share inside secrets? Holden is really all about getting revenge for the past and as he begins to work with Rowan he begins to want her too. Now this book is a slow burn because they don’t get together until more than halfway through the book. But, Holden enjoys playing cat and mouse games with Rhett, Rowan and Chad (the COO and Rowan’s potential husband). I enjoyed the book all the twists and turns and backstabbing was so juicy, but this book ends on a cliffhanger so I must wait to see what’s going to happen next.

This is my first book by K Bromberg and it absolutely won’t be my last! This book had me in a chokehold and I didn’t want it to end.

I absolutely loved the dynamic between Rowen and Holden. There was so much chemistry, attraction and angst. Rowen was such a strong fmc. She knew exactly what she wanted and wasn’t going to let anything stand in her way especially when it came to her families business. I don’t even know where to start with Holden. I was obsessed with him from the very beginning. He was so mysterious and determined to ruin the Rothschild family’s business. There was so many twists, turns and drama especially in the last half of the book. The cliff hanger ending just killed me and I need to know what happens ASAP!

Thank you so much to K Bromberg and Valentine PR for allowing me to read this ARC!

Twisted Knight by Author K Bromberg is a wild and twisting tale.

In a town where pretty faces matter and perception is key, we get to follow a complex story.

Rowan is thought of to be just a superficial pretty face by her family. As ruthless as Holden is, he seems to see her for all of her, as she is. The problem is that revenge is his primary focus.

With steamy, forbidden romance and an epic cliffhanger, you will be hooked.

Wow! I absolutely loved this book. Amazing characters and wonderful plot. Very beautifully written and easy to read.

Rowan is a daughter of a wealthy parents. She’s constantly overshadowed by her brother, even though she’s better and smarter than him and can easily run the family business.

Holden is determined to avenge his brother. But he never expected to be attracted to Rowan. I loved their fiery bunter and interactions. Their chemistry and passion were so palpable and sizzling.

Overall I loved this book very much and can’t wait for more. If you’re looking for a boss/employee, enemies to lovers, billionaire, workplace romance then you’re going to love it.

Book Review: Twisted Knight by K. Bromberg
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 | 🔥🔥🔥/5 Spice

Twisted Knight by K. Bromberg blew me away as the first book in her Tangled Hearts series. This enemies-to-lovers, billionaire romance had everything I love in a steamy, tension-filled story. Holden Knight, the mysterious and driven MMC, steps in as the CEO of Rowan’s family business with one goal—revenge. But Rowan Rothschild, our smart and ambitious FMC, isn't about to let him walk all over her, especially since her family doesn't appreciate her value.

Their chemistry sparks right from the beginning, and the banter between them was chef’s kiss. Despite their clashing goals, Holden and Rowan can’t resist each other, and their romance is a fiery mix of passion and power struggles. I loved how Rowan wasn’t a pushover—she’s strong, capable, and holds her own in and out of the boardroom, especially during the steamy scenes.

The audiobook narration added so much depth to the characters and the tension, and I highly recommend it for a fully immersive experience. And the cliffhanger? Let’s just say I’m eagerly awaiting book two! K. Bromberg has officially become an auto-buy author for me.

Thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for the ARC!

Twisted Knight was a very different book then I first expected it to be. We read the story of Holden Knight and Rowan Rothschild. Holden is out for revenge, and he is determined to get his way. Rowan has always wanted to work for her families business, but when Holden ends up in her way she might lose it all.

The chemistry between Holden and Rowan was amazing. Even though they definitely where enemies, it’s clear there is more between them right from the start.

Honestly it took me a little while to really get into this story. But the further I got, the more I enjoyed the story. Holden really was a bit of jerk, but I was also really intrigued by his character.

The romance was fun and I loved those banters between Holden and Rowan. I really didn’t expect this book ending up in a cliffhanger though. Looks like I’ll have to be patient!

Twisted Knight is an enemies to lovers, office romance that was simply delicious! I loved Rowan! She was smart and driven. She knew her brother was a moron and the fact that she didn't just slap her mother is a true testament to her good character. Her mom was so annoying. I did kind of wish Rowan wouldn't always take the high road and let the family walk all over her though. This is certainly an "enemies to lovers" vibe since Holden wants revenge on Rowan's family, but he figures out quickly she is not like them. But, I loved his story-his reason for wanting revenge was righteous for sure and you just had to love him! The push/pull between Rowan and Holden kept me engaged despite hating her family so much I didn't think I could take any more.

K. Bromberg is a popular author whose books I am constantly seeing as recommendations. My first K. Bromberg book, Flirting with 40, was a huge success and I went in expecting to love the other work of the author. Unfortunately, such has not been the case. I read and struggled with The Player duet, and then the same thing happened with the first book in the Play Hard series. I thought it was that I did not mix well with the author’s sports romance, which is why I went into Twisted Knight with high hopes.

I will be honest and say that the first few chapters of Twisted Knight had me hooked. It sucked me in with ease and had me deeply invested in what was going to play out. In fact, the start of the book left me convinced that my belief about it just being Bromberg’s sports romance that I did not mix with would prove to be true. Unfortunately, this feeling changed the more I progressed. For me, there was far too much time spent focusing on the minutiae of the business to allow me to feel the connection between the characters. In fact, they spent so much of the book against each other that I found it hard to believe that there could ever be something between them. Due to this, I found my attention wavering and I became focused on the little things that niggled at me. Such as repeated use of words, some word misuses, and other little grammar things that would not have caught my attention if I had been enjoying the book. The fact that I was more focused on these elements than the story itself is why I ended up rounding my rating down.

All in all, I am using this as a sign that K. Bromberg is not an author for me. Many clearly enjoy their work - and I can see why when there are sparks of things that interest me - but they do not work consistently well enough for me.

Really enjoyed this story. The growth of the characters, the long term plans & the rebelling against what they are pushed into. I did not expect to be left hanging at the end, so I hope the next book comes out soon.

This was truly written for the enemies to lovers girls. Workplace, revenge, so much angst and basically a southern succession level of family chaos and drama. It ends on a cliffhanger that I was not ready for and I’m desperate for book two, I hope it’s close behind. K Bromberg writes top tier groveling and men fighting for their women so I cannot wait to see where this goes next.

Twisted Knight has a bit of everything! We’ve got a handsome billionaire, feminine rage, a fight against societal norms, enemies to enemies-with-benefits to lovers-ish, sexy nsfw scenes, heartbreak, and all the drama! I really enjoyed reading the beginning of Holden and Rowan’s story and look forward to reading more!
As always, make sure this is the right book for you as a reader. Mental health matters!

#Review: *Twisted knight* - ARC - K. Bromberg [18+]
5/5✨
3.5/5🌶️

I eyed this book a very, very long time ago and now I got the incredible chance to read it in advance! 💙 I must thank K. Bromberg and Valentine Pr for this amazing opportunity🫶🏼

One troubled past and a huge revenge is what stands at the base of this story. A town which is lead by whealty families, with tons of dirty secrets. The Rothschild's and William's had always been in charge of town, handling the businesses for decades and continuing to do so. But everything they've worked for could soon be demolished by only one driven man, Holden Knight.

Because of everything he had to endure from these families and another heartbreaking event, Holden in keen on finding his revenge when the right time comes. So, he thoroughly build a life where he could never be touched and be feard for. And the right time comes over 15 years later after the life altering event.

Knight does everything by the book and respects every detail he initially planned, only on the way, one beautiful woman goes under his thick skin. His enemy's sister, Rowan Rothschild.

Even from the first encounter I could feel the tension between them and how they were the perfect fit for each other. How their past was somehow similar, but also so different. But they were carring the same loath against the system the Rothschild and William families have built.

I just looved this story! The grumpy, mysterious man had now some wholes in that dark personality made by Rowan, who was so different from what he thought. He never planned to be caged by her beauty and intelligence. The lust for her is over the rooftop and it's the same for Rowan. They shared some really spicy scenes, but which were thought so good and had the perfect intensity.

I just had a feeling, long before the last page of the book, that I wouldn't like the ending and that I would be left with a cliffhanger in my hands!🤯 Everything was soo good and addicting! I just cannot wait to read the next book from this series - like, I need it tomorrow!

En bref, j'ai aimé apprendre à connaitre Holden et Rowan, ils sont tous les deux intenses, ne baissent jamais les bras et donnent tout pour leurs objectifs sauf que l'autre va quelque peu venir mettre des grains de sable dans leurs histoires bien huilées. Les événements s'enchainent et je ne me suis pas ennuyée en leur compagnie, je ne m'attendais simplement pas à ce qu'il n'y ait pas de fin mais un satané cliffhanger et j'attends donc la suite avec impatience, curieuse de voir comment ils vont pouvoir se dépatouiller des catastrophes qu'ils ont engendré... Vivement !!

OMG!!! That was amazing. Was not expecting a cliff hanger and now can’t wait until part 2. Loved it!!!

Dive into a world filled with twists and turns. Twisted Knight is a rollercoaster of a ride. Who can be trusted as you move around the boundaries set just because you were born a woman or on the wrong side of the tracks. For both Rowan and Holden, they each have to overcome the hands they were each dealt. Each asking themselves who can they actually trust?

Twisted Knight is Holden and Rowan story and what a story it was. Twisted Knight is one of the best enemies to Lovers romance I've read and I absolutely loved it. I Cannot wait to read next book in the series as it ends in cliffhanger.

I Highly Recommend this book to all readers.
