If Fueled is Done…Why not Release it?
Fueled is not already done…Is it written? Yes…Is it completed? No.
When I first write, I write the bare bones of the story to make sure it flows and the plot works. That is what I’ve done so far. Now I’m at the stage where I go back through and add all of those little touches that make you guys really like it. I perfect the banter and the go between of Rylee and Colton. I see what’s missing or what isn’t pertinent to the story any more and either delete it or correct it (meaning, I make sure that all scenes have a purpose – that they are not just there to add pages to the book)…I then make sure that all links needed for book 3, Crashed, are in there. I make sure that the sex scenes are steamy enough, the sexual tension snaps off the page, the dialogue is sharp enough, the semantics of all the actions are right (i.e. if he’s in his car one scene and then not the next how did he get from point A to point , that the scenes are descriptive enough but not too much that they bore you, and that basically all of the essential elements that you loved about Driven are in Fueled. Then I read it about five times correcting and recorrecting things as I see fit.
And then I send it off to an editor and wait for them to tell me what they see as not being right: grammar, content, diction, plot, etc. And then I correct it again. (and again and again….that part never ends).
After that, I finalize what cover I want, start promoting it to bloggers behind the scene so that I can have reviews of the book on release day so that readers see the book and want to buy it…
I know it seems that if I am releasing snippets now, then I should release the whole thing right now…but the snippets are rough still and most likely will change some….I understand your frustration and wanting Fueled now, but I promise you, the time I am taking is to make sure that Fueled is the best it can be…so that you enjoy it as much as you did Driven and so that you love it that much more…waiting sucks, I know…but I promise it’s for all the right reasons!
I appreciate your patience!

Want to join the DRIVEN Street Team?
So…I have a question for all you lovelies who LOVE Driven, does anybody want to join/help me create a Street Team for Driven (and obviously Fueled and Crashed)?
What’s in it for you? Well besides helping me
you’d get a chance at receiving an advanced copy of Fueled before it comes out. I’m still working out the details, but depending on the response I receive, I’ll randomly pick names from the Street Teamer’s and give out the advanced copies to start the buzz for Fueled. I’ll also have random drawings for Amazon gift cards here and there to thank you for helping me spread the word…
So you ask…how do you sign up for this? Send me a private message with your name, email address, and what avenue/aspect you can help me promote Driven on…
I can’t wait to hear from you!
Thanks ,
K.

Bromberg has a successful series on her hands…
Two characters that are flawed and damaged. A rich, successful unattainable man. A beautiful, insecure woman. They meet, sparks fly. It may reflect some plot lines in recently successful novels, but that aspect becomes inconsequential the more you get to know these characters. I even LOVED when Rylee flat out referenced wanting to play “Ana to his Christian”. Rylee and Colton’s banter is charming and funny, but in the next breath they infuriate you! The end leaves you with your gut squeezing, your hand itching to slap someone and waiting on pins and needles for Fueled.
I highly recommend this book to anybody that loves a sexy book that also keeps your brain engaged in the action. Bromberg has a successful series on her hands and can’t wait for the rest of the reading world to get to know this intriguing couple!

Driven “will bring out all emotions”…
“The author did an amazing job with Driven. You feel the connection with the characters in such a way that you go through the emotions with them. This book will bring out all emotions. There are moments when you get that feeling in your stomach and you are afraid to turn the page. Their is the sweet side of their relationship that will make you smile. Their relationship is intense and complicated and will frustrate you, but it is a ride that is worth taking. You will fall in love with these two damaged people and want nothing more than for them to find the happiness that they deserve. Driven was one roller coaster ride of emotions and when it was over I was left staring at my e-reader wondering what just happened. Any book that can bring out that much emotion, make me happy one minute and heart broken the next and allow me to connect with the characters on an emotional level the way Driven did, is definitely a book worth reading. Amazing job by K. Bromberg. I cannot wait until August for book two…” See the entire review at Three Chicks and Their Books!
Driven has just…”blown me away…”
DRIVEN (The Driven Trilogy)
By K Bromberg
Colton Donavan is an extremely hot racing driver with a troubled past that can’t commit, Rylee Thomas works in a home for orphaned boys that lives with the guilt of her fiance death. They both meet at a charity event that is held to raise money for the orphaned boys.
Colton and Rylee have a moment in a closet and by the end of the night he bids to get a date with her. She tries to stay away from him but can’t resist.
Wow a fantastic read that has taken me out of my reading funk! I loved the characters, the story and the way it is written have just blown me away.
I LOVED Colton even though he was arrogant and cocky I felt he was winning me over along with Rylee and by the end of the book I was totally smitten with him.
DRIVEN has great passion and chemistry with smoking hot sex making me wish I was in Rylee’s shoes and just kept on getting better and better so much that I really couldn’t put it down.
I am really looking forward to the next two books in the trilogy FUELED and CRASHED.
Well done to K Bromberg and thank you for allowing to read and review this fantastic read.
I totally loved it, 5 stars for Amazon and 5 for Goodreads
I definitely recommend this book…

…Favorite Books that I have read so far this year…
“It has been a while since I’ve read a book that I truly adored and can honestly feel confident in screaming that “I LOVED this book!” DRIVEN, the first book of the Driven Trilogy, was a great change up in my reading schedule and such a pleasant surprise. It is now on my list of favorite books that I have read so far this year. It had everything that I love in a book – a smoking hot man that is not afraid to go after what he wants; a female character that is the right balance between vulnerable, fiesty and strong; sexual tension that made my heart race; and a story that kept my attention and had me anxiously awaiting what would happen next.”
