Cuffed is the
first book in a completely new series from K. Bromberg and one that I really
enjoyed. I was so excited to start this
one and trust me it was worth that excitement.
This one deals with some at times painful issues but the way that Ms.
Bromberg put this story into motion is one that makes you feel even more
emotions at times than you thought would happen. Now I have to be upfront about something for
a good 3/4ths of the book Emmy aka Emmerson, wasn’t my favorite
character at all, and I will explain why in a moment but in that last 1/4th
she won me over.
So let me get this little bit of business out of the way
first, then we can go on about all that I loved about Cuffed. Now Emmy from the
start really rubbed me wrong, I knew something had happened, to what extent I was
not sure, but I felt as if she was holding an almost immature grudge against
Grant because he did the right thing even if it meant hurting her in the
process, but in reality, it was saving her.
I understand that her past has defined many of her actions, but at the
same time, I don’t think she fully dealt with everything in her past and while
some things she repressed she never came to terms. She didn’t want to be seen as a victim, that
I understand and totally can sympathize with, but at the same time the way she
was with Grant wasn’t fair, nor was it what he deserved. It was the last 1/4th of the book
that I finally began to connect with her.
She was so strong yet fragile. In
the end, I wanted to her to find her happiness, to keep her head up and wings
out.
Grant, well it must be said, he could frisk me any day of
the week and twice on Sunday. I’m
serious. I’ll happily be cuffed by him,
yes bad pun intended. Grant has missed
his Emmy, his best friend. For twenty years,
they were apart. He did something no
little kid should ever have to do, but by doing that, he lost his best
friend. Grant is now a cop trying to
make detective but that need to protect and save others has not left his
system, in fact, it made me fall head over heels in love with his
character. When you read Cuffed, you will understand why I would
want him to not only protect my children and me if the need ever came. He is what all police officers should be,
heroes. The way he breaks down Emmy’s
walls, earns her trust once more, once again proves how amazing he is. Now does he make mistakes? Yes, he actually makes a huge one but at the
same time, I can understand why he does and does not do what he did. Yeah that is a bit confusing but read Cuffed and you will understand. Grant may very well be one of my favorite
characters from Ms. Bromberg yet.
Cuffed is
emotional, at times funny, others frustrating but it most importantly of all is
a book about doing what you need to protect those you love and save them even
when it means losing them. I highly
recommend Cuffed and can’t wait for
the next book in the series to come out.
