Book Review: Cuffed by K. Bromberg

Cuffed (Everyday Heroes, #1)
“I hate you. I never want to see you again.”

Grant Malone is not the reason I moved back to Sunnyville—at least that’s what I tell myself. Yet, those parting words I said to him back in third grade, ring in my ears every time a townsperson brings up one of the Malone boys. I thought time had healed my wounds. I was wrong. Nothing could have prepared me for how I felt when I finally saw him again.

Twenty years does a lot to turn a boy into a man. One who hits all my buttons—sexy, funny, attractive, and a police officer. But Grant is off limits because he knows too much about my past.

But I’m drawn to him. That damn uniform of his doesn’t hurt either. It’ll be my downfall. I know it.

What’s one night of sex going to hurt . . . right?

***

I’ve always loved Emmy Reeves.

That’s why I’m shocked to see her all these years later. The shy girl I once knew is all grown up.

Adventurous and full of life, she owns my heart now, just as much as she did back then. Convincing her of that is a whole different story.

I’ll give her the one night she asks for—like that’s a hardship—but when it comes to letting her walk away after, she has another thing coming. There’s no way in hell I’m letting her go this time without a fight.



Cuffed left me an emotional mess. There are not enough stars for how I feel about this book. Cuffed simply made me feel. I laughed, cried and cheered. Plan on keeping a box of tissues handy. This is absolutely one of my favorite reads for 2017. 

Emmy Reeves had been living a gypsy life with her mother until she returned to the town she left many years ago after a broken pinky promise.  Now she back reestablishing her life. She's hoping to purchase a skydiving school and set down roots. Her plans never included him, Grant Malone. The boy who was her best friend until he told her secret. 

Grant is shocked that Emmy, his childhood best friend, is back in town. He told her secret and she left. It's been twelve years and this time he can't let her go, not without a fight. 

Emmy and Grant fight for some semblance of control. Emmy prefers to be just friends with benefits but Grant wants more. Emmy begins to remember things from her past that she tried to keep stored away. Grant provokes feelings that Emmy keeps locked away. My heart broke for Emmy and her struggle. She's fighting more than one demon at a time. The story has very poignant moments that evoke a mix of emotions . I loved it! I can't recommend this story enough. 5 Stars!
