The Blot Tour for Hard to Handle by K. Bromberg!

Hard to Handle, book one in the Play Hard series, an all new series of standalone books by New York Times bestselling author, K. Bromberg, is LIVE!

At first, the request seemed simple—sign a new athlete to the agency. Then I found out the new athlete was none other than the most wanted man in hockey today: Hunter Maddox

Gifted. Sexy. At the top of his game. And the only man who has ever broken my heart. If signing him will help save our family business, I’ll swallow my pride and do what’s asked.

But when it becomes clear his uncharacteristic antics off the ice are a hint of something deeper, keeping things strictly professional between us becomes more than complicated.

But I know better than to cross that line.

I’ll never date a client. Not even for him.

*** Win the Stanley Cup and do it before time runs out.

Not a small feat, but it’s what’s motivated me since the start of my career.

And time is running out.

Enter Dekker Kincade.

Feisty. Dogged. Damn gorgeous. The one I let get away.

I have no idea why she’s traveling with the team, but hell if resisting her is going to be easy.

But I have a job to do, and I refuse to lose sight of that end game. Even if she confuses me. Even if she sees parts of me I’ve hidden from the world.

I can’t lose focus. Not even for her.

I stare at Hunter. At his shirt plastered with sweat and how it clings to his body, despite the chill of the ice his skates are standing on. He has his warm-up pants on and is without a helmet, his hair curling at the ends from the sweat.

And all I see in his eyes is anger I didn’t put there. Or maybe I did. Rejection can do that to a man . . . but there’s something more here. Something I walked in on that doesn’t make sense.

“Don’t give me that look, Kincade,” Hunter mutters as he skates over to the penalty box where his electrolyte drink sits.

“What look?” I ask.

He half laughs, half snorts and meets my gaze across the distance. “Disappointment. Disproval. Disdain. I’m the king of all of them, so save your breath—or in this case—your glare, because it’s not going to work with me.”

“Are we working on emotions that start with the letter D today?” I ask. A hint of my embarrassment and anger over how I acted last night creeps into my voice, but I mask it with sarcasm. “If that’s the case, I’m more than impressed with your answers thus far.”

He clenches his jaw in response and then skates back over to line up more pucks so he can shoot them. And he does, one after another, each shot taken with laser precision and a healthy dose of fury behind it.

He goes through the first ten lined up and then stops to catch his breath.

His talent and skill are undeniable, but so is the beer bottle in my hand.

“Just because you’re the captain and star of this team, doesn’t mean management won’t frown upon this,” I say, unable to let this go.

“Screw the management.”

“No one likes a player who’s hard to handle and honestly, Hunter, you’re becoming hard to handle.”

“No one likes unsolicited advice from someone who has no bearing on his career, either,” he counters, the rebuke stinging but deserved.

The problem is, I do care about him. Doesn’t he get that’s where my hostility stems from?

And only a crazy person would say that, Dekker.

I put my hands up in surrender to both him and my own thoughts. “You know I only want the best for you.” I take a few steps in his direction in the first row of the stands. I’m close enough to catch the hitch of his movement and to see uncertainty flicker in his eyes. It’s almost as if he needs to talk but doesn’t see me as someone he can trust. I hate that. “What is it, Hunter?”

“Nothing. It’s . . . never mind.”

But I see it, and he knows I see it. The question is what do I see, though?

When Dekker Kincade's father proposes that she try and sign hockey star Hunter Maddox to their client list she immediately wants him to have one of her sister's do it. Her and Hunter have history and it's not so good...the heart crushing kind of "not so good." They were once lovers, with the intent of their relationship being nothing but strings-free fun, but somewhere along the way Dekker started to catch feelings, and so she walked away for the safety of her heart. 

She knows seeing Hunter again could be bad for her heart, everything she once felt for him is still there lingering under the surface, and one little personal meeting with him, and it could all make a reappearance... and she is no where near prepared for that!

But her father insists she is the girl for the job, so she reluctantly accepts the mission... and makes a plan to meet with him...with her heart completely barricaded and the hope that maybe she can keep those feelings tucked away too. But one look at Hunter and suddenly she realizes she is in deep... and she knows there is no way she can come out of this unscathed!

Between the pages of Hard to Handle you will meet a couple that cares for one another, but has no idea how to tell the other. They were once entangled in a hot little affair that ending badly, and it's been three long years since they have talked or spent time with one another. But Dekker has a job to do and she is determined to keep all those old feelings for Hunter locked up tight, which becomes easier said than done after one little kiss. These two fought hard to keep things just business, but their hearts had other plans for them, and we all know the heart gets what it wants! I loved watching these two heal one another, and find the relationship they were always destined to have, their story brought so much joy to my heart.... and a little bit of torture too! I highly recommend you get your hands on this heart-string tugging tale it's bound to take you on a journey you won't soon forget! 

I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher, and I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased opinion.
