Lacey Black’s Grip is a second-chance, surprise-baby contemporary romance written in K. Bromberg’s Driven World project!
Mack
I live to race. It’s in my blood–the smell of dirt and gasoline, the fast cars, the screaming fans. I was the king of a small track in Missouri with the world at my fingertips. I even had the girl, until a call came from the infamous Colton Donavan. I had a choice to make: my dream or the woman I loved. I couldn’t have both.
When an unexpected surprise shows up on my doorstep in the form of a baby, there’s only one woman I trust enough to help me. Lena Stanley, the one I left behind. But being in close proximity to her reminds me of what we used to have, and what I still want. Her.
Lena
The day he walked away to chase his dream was the hardest day of my life, but I powered through. I could never ask Mack to choose between me and the opportunity of a lifetime. That’s why I pushed him toward the latter, despite the heartache it caused.
Now, he needs my help. The problem is it’s hard to keep old feelings buried. Despite my best efforts, our connection is too powerful to deny. However, as our short time together draws to a close, I have another difficult choice to make. Only this time, I’m not just walking away from him, but his son too.

Marissa Grayson’s dream went up in smoke. A devastating fire has ripped apart her family’s bed and breakfast, leaving her off-kilter and scrambling to repair the damage. What she doesn’t need, or have time for, is Rhenn Burleski. Sexy, confident, and dangerous to her heart. A man who clearly knows his way around the female body and will leave the moment the sheets start to cool. Yet that doesn’t stop her from making a deal with the devil himself.
Work hard, play harder. That’s Rhenn’s life motto. An electrician by day, Rhenn turns it up at night, always with a different lady friend in tow. He makes sure they know the score: he’s not looking for anything more than one night of fun. However, he knows the second he meets the shy daughter of the bed and breakfast’s owner that his life is never going to be the same. As hard as he tries, he just can’t resist one taste.
What happens when their time is up and Rhenn must leave, returning to his old life? Will they be able to walk away, hearts unscathed, or will their time together prove to be nothing more than a fading memory?
I received this book from the author but purchased the audio book.
Ok since I am reviewing the audio book I gotta say….HEEEY Rhenn’s narrator. Holy Sweet Baby Jesus that voice. Imma tell ya, you will be thanking me for that right off the bat. I don’t want to know what the narrator really looks like because my mind has his picture juuuuuust right. LOL Now I see he does the voice for the other 2 books…….YES is all I can say.
So this is my first Lacey book….yeah yeah I know late to the party like always but ya know what can I say. I have only known her 5 years *Face Palm*
I gotta say I loved the dynamic of quiet and shy but sassy Marissa with Rhenn. Rhenn is all playa playa who falls for the women who embodies his exact opposite type…ya know, she isn’t an easy whore. LOL
Marissa is devastated by her family’s business/home fire and is lost because what will they do. When her long lost family enters the picture, she gets connected to Rhenn who will be doing the family a favor and wiring the house for them.
When Rhenn shows up, he is stunned stupid at the beautiful women he sees but knows she isn’t “his type” and a quick roll won’t be something she is interested in. When, after getting to know him, she proposes Friends with Benefits while he is in town….he flips out.
I loved seeing them fall but fear telling the other. They both want more but she fears she isn’t good enough and he is ashamed of his past. When the two weeks is up and they part, I was a little bit weepy and wanted to kick Rhenn in the balls.
The end of the story is perfect and totally swoon worthy.
I gotta say Emma and Orville KILLED ME in this story. Marissa’s long-lost aunt and uncle were to inappropriately funny in this book. I can’t wait for more of them in the rest of the books. I am kinda giving brother Samuel a look over because I just know the right women or even man could make that anal-retentive ass crumble. But first up is sexy diva Harper. I can’t wait to see who tames this wild child!!

Life never goes as planned. Jaime Summer learned that lesson the hard way when her fiancé wreaked havoc on her carefully constructed life plan. Now, Jaime’s back in her hometown, working at her sister’s flower shop and living with her family once again, swearing off dating and men for the rest of her life. That is, until Ryan Elson walks through the door.
Ryan has been in Jupiter Bay for a year now, and has worked hard to make this new town his home. His construction business is growing and while his personal relationships with the fairer sex are lacking, he’s more content than he’s ever been.He doesn’t need a woman, but a chance meeting with Jaime has Ryan ready to pull out all the stops to have her.
Exhilarating. Intoxicating. Consuming. Ravenous. Passionate.What happens when those kisses lead towards something more? Something that looks a lot like forever.
Note: This book is intended for those 18 and over due to graphic language, descriptive sex, and the world’s most inappropriate grandparents.
Ohmygawd where to begin Jaime was trying to find herself again after getting dumped the week of her wedding she’s found herself moving back home in her childhood home with her dad and grandparents. She has sworn off men for a while she doesn’t want anything to do with them, well until one night once she started helping her sister in her flower shop when at closing time this super sexy construction worker came in looking for flowers and well he might have found something else he needed once he laid eyes on Jaime. Ryan was bound determined to capture Jaimes heart even if it meant jumping through many hoops he was gonna do whatever it take. Will these two make it last could love at first sight really be real, you definitely won’t want to put this book downwithout finding out what happens. Ps your going tot be crying from laughing so hard grandma and grandpa just saying
