Sweet Ache

K. Bromberg — 2015

The New York Times bestselling author of the Driven series turns up the heat when a sexy bet turns into so much more.... Hawkin Play, the bad boy rock star with a good guy heart, has lived a lifetime of cleaning up after his twin brother's mistakes. Hunter's most recent screwup could land Hawke in jail and risk the band's future. Hawke agrees to guest lecture at a local college to stay in the judge's good graces--and a bet with his bandmate to seduce his sexy teaching assistant is icing on the cake. Quinlan Westin is harder to bed than Hawke imagined. She knows his type and is determined to avoid the rocker at all costs--even if their attraction runs deeper than simple lust. Just as Hawke might finally be winning over the girl, his brother has other plans. When Hunter realizes his twin finally has a weakness, he'll stop at nothing to take advantage....

Find this review and more at kimberlyfaye reads . I had pretty high hopes for Sweet Ache. Unfortunately, it didn't quite work for me. (I am CLEARLY in the minority, too, so take my thoughts lightly.) It was still a good read overall, but it didn't strike the chord with me that I hoped it would. I'm not sure if it's because I've only read one of the other books in the series, so I didn't have a real connection with the characters, but it left me wanting more. I liked both of the characters. Hawkin and Quinlan were both great in their own right. There was no denying there was something between them, but the flipping between hot and cold left me frustrated. I found each of their inner dialogue too long and drawn out. I had a hard time staying interested in the book at times. I did like how they opened up to each other though and the sexy scenes were fantastic. When it was all said and done, I found myself fairly invested in the story and happy with how everything wrapped up. I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
