Publisher's summary

A spicy, only-one-bed Formula 1 romance from New York Times bestselling author, K. Bromberg.

Surely this can’t be the only solution to overhaul my tarnished rep—faking a romance with the good girl intern?

But that’s what my agent says. Just a few months of taming my ways—of shedding Formula 1’s party boy image—will land me a lifetime branding deal. One I desperately need.

The key condition?

Pretend I’m madly in love with my new girlfriend. The quiet wallflower who I figured wouldn’t put me in my place. Yeah. This girl is anything but that.

Maddix Hart is defiant and intelligent. Loyal and real. Determined and sexy. And damn it to hell, before I know it, she’s in my head, in our bed . . . and if I’m not careful, she’ll see there’s more to me than the man I show the public. She’ll discover the man I hide from the world. The one who struggles to live up to the unrealistic expectations that should never have been mine.

All I have to do is make sure no one sees the truth behind our farce.

But instead, I let my heart get involved. I begin to believe the lie. And now with everything on the line—the deal, a championship, us—am I willing to risk it all to make her see what the rest of the world believes? That we belong together.

Enjoyable Listen

On the Edge is an entertaining fast-paced, fake dating, Formula 1 racing romance that delivers in the spice, in the close proximity tension and in the drama (of the family and love variety).

Cruz Navarro is racing royalty on the cusp of signing a massive deal. However, after photos of his excessive partying surface, this playboy is forced to clean up his bad boy image by pretending to be in a serious relationship. Enter Maddix Hart, the good girl intern looking to move up in the company and desperate for an adventure. Forced together, traveling, for a few months while Cruz hunts to capture his first championship, they form a strong bond and romance. The chemistry between Cruz and Maddix is felt instantaneously. From their first meeting, there’s compassion. They could read each other fairly well. There’s a great balance between them. She helps him calm down while he helps her loosen up a little bit. And, their banter is just so good.

I read this book in a day and I really enjoyed it. If you’re looking for an easy to read, only one bed, sports romance with some top tie groveling, you need this book.

Kit Swann and Robert Hatchet did such a phenomenal job. I really enjoyed their performance. Robert's accent was especially pleasant.

Fake dating in the Formula 1 world

I really like this series and that the world is interconnected but able to be read/listened to as a stand alone. Cruz is a Formula 1 race car driver who needs to show that he's dependable and part of a couple to get an endorsement contract. Maddix is chosen as one of the choices for Cruz to choose from. He decides on Maddix since she's a regular person. They have an attraction that turns to love even though he won't admit it. When the board votes to give him the contract, Maddix can leave Cruz has hangups from his family and can't ask her to stay. Will he decide to overcome his problems and will it be too late? I loved Kit Swann and Robert Hatchet's narration and especially Robert's accents. I'm looking forward to another book in this series.

An Absolutely Wonderful Romance & Narration🎧

It is great to be back in K. Bromberg’s exciting Formula 1 racing world again for another amazing and smoking hot sports romance novel. This book is Cruz Navarro and Maddox Hart story, a story that not only captivated my attention the entire time, but tugged on my heartstrings too. Cruz has racing in his blood, his father raced before him and you would think he would be his biggest supporter, instead he is his toughest critic and not in a good way. Cruz is going to make a name for himself in the circuit and racing world, but he also made a name for himself as the bad boy party goer. His agent is working on some sponsor deals that would set him up for life, except the sponsors are hesitant to sign him because of his reputation. They present him with an ultimatum to clean up his image, and his bad-boy ways, and show the world he is settling down. Maddox Hart was looking to advance her marketing career, heard about the new client they were signing up, and wanted in on the meeting. Her boss allowed her to sit in, telling her to set up the meeting room, while up there she saw someone on the verge of a panic attack and she talked him down. Not having any knowledge of the Formula 1 race world, she had not known that person was Cruz and the client they were signing on. She also did not know what her boss was planning. Cruz was adamant about signing, wanting his independence from his father and to be set for life financially, so he agreed to go with their new plan, except for one thing. He was not picking his fake girlfriend from the choices they were ready to present. He pointed to Maddix and chose her instead. Maddix’s boss convinced her to go with the plan, that it would further her career, but she had no idea what she was getting into and neither did Cruz. K. Bromberg puts a unique spin on the fake relationship trope, I loved the complexity of the characters and how everything played out, the writing, plot and world building are fantastic, as are the character growth and development. This story is entertaining and has the perfect balance of drama, a touch of angst, heartfelt emotions, and steamy romance. K. Bromberg, thank you for another brilliant story and emotional rollercoaster ride. 

🎧📚🎧And for the wonderful narration, Robert Hatchet and Kit Swann are the perfect cast to bring these characters to life.Their did an amazing job portraying the characters, and I loved how they took each role, ran with it and made it their own, sounding believable and just as I imagined the character would sound. Hatchet nailed it as Cruz, grasping his every aspect of his personality, from his arrogance to his insecurities, and all in between. Swann’s Maddox was spot on, she too grasped every aspect of her personality, her strength and determination, her wit and her caring heart. Both were fantastic performing the roles of the secondary characters too. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the character’s emotions and had you feeling each one. These entertaining storytellers are versatile voice artists and their narration elevates this already brilliant story to another level. Thank you for another amazing listen.

Everything about this story was fabulous!!

I absolutely LOVED this audiobook!!! The narrators did the most amazing job bringing this story to live!The banter, the spicy burning chemistry between the characters and the genius plot that K. Bromberg deliver was just pure perfection.

Cruz Navarro is a famous F1 driver and well know playboy. He wants to continue his family legacy but most of all he wants to make them proud but his father makes it very difficult with his constant criticism of him. So when an opportunity comes for him to land the biggest deal of his career he says YES to a "fake a romantic relationship" but what he never expected was Maddix.

I think from the first moment Cruz and Maddix met there was such a great chemistry between them. Maybe it took a bit longer for Cruz to realise how incredible Maddix was but once he did I loved how passionate and incredible Cruz was for Maddix.

Maddix was just a sweetheart. I loved how she was able to come out of her shell but also how she little by little broke into Cruz's walls.

I think the story balance so well, the romance along the adrenaline of the F1 racing world combine was so so good and I can't wait for the next book in the series.

Sweet couple!

The story is great! Maybe a little nutty in the beginning, but it gets so much better.

Fake Dating/Forced Proximity/Sports Romance

4.5 Stars

There is just something about stories where the couple starts out not wanting anything serious and watching that morph into something real that gets me every time. I love the denial one (or both) of them has that the feelings their experiencing aren't anything more than lust. And I love the moment when they realize it's been real either the whole time, or way longer than they thought. Those are some of my favorite stories, and On the Edge definitely has a sample of that and I loved it.

I haven't read many racing sports romances, but I've really enjoyed this series from K. Bromberg. On the Edge was a gripping story that had me refusing to put the book down because I just had to know what was going to happen. I loved the Maddix put herself out there to experience more from her life, and I love how she went for what she wanted. I loved that she stood up for herself at every turn, no matter what. She was a fantastic female lead. I loved the growth we got to see for Cruz over the course of the book, and I loved the groveling he did to get back on Maddix's good side. I appreciated how his backstory was revealed and how it played a part in the story, and I love the way Maddix supported him through all of it. I loved the relationship the two of them developed and I loved how they cared for each other.

I really enjoyed the first book in this series and I loved this book as well. I can't wait to see what else this series has in store for us.

Steamy Formula 1

Am I a formula 1 fan? No...well...ok YES I AM (now)! Cruz has my heart, it's official. There's nothing I love more than a reformed playboy with a complicated family dynamic. Add in some fake dating and forced proximity while you're at it?? K Bromberg de-liv-ered! I loved this listen!

High octane love on the track

I love sports romances and the adrenaline combined with the developing relationships. But I do have to admit that racing is not a top sport for me....unless it's a book that's written by K Bromberg. She always seems to capture the characters, their love of the sport, some sort of drama and does it in a believable fashion. On the Edge is no different.

On The Edge is the second book in the Full Throttle series. It's fast paced, opposites attract, fake relationship, forced proximity, family trauma goodness. While it is the second book, it's a complete standalone (and was actually my first one I've read in the series).

Cruz Navarro is racing royalty, but his reputation proceeds him. He's known for his playboy ways so he must clean up his act if he wants to sign his next deal. That's where Maddix Hart comes in. At first she's just someone working on his campaign, but when the playboy picks her as his fake girlfriend, the chemistry ignites and before we know it they are crossing all the lines.

While I love a good fake dating romance, you are going to have to sell me on the playboy aspect. And Cruz had IT. Yes, he is a total playboy and loves his women, but his cocky ways seem to stem from something a little deeper. He's good looking, talented, and sure of himself when it comes to racing and women, but it's family that holds him back. The people that should love and support him most that bring him down. When Maddix brings a calm into his storm, he can't help but be balanced by it and fall for the woman that is beautiful, smart and out to do a job so she can succeed in her own career. These opposites come together while traveling on the racing circuit and their chemistry explodes! They balance one another out and stand up for each other when they need it.

Overall, this was a great sports romance with a great grovel in the 3rd act. The playboy fell and he won the woman back in the most spectacular way while coming to terms with who is really there for HIM. I'd also like to take a minute to address the audiobook narration. The narrators Robert Hatchet and Kit Swann brought Maddix and Cruz to life and gave me the high octane feel of the racing world that really upped it a notch. I definitely want to check out the first book now and continue on in the series.

Wonderful

This is one of those audios that I know I will listen to many times. The story of Cruz and Maddix was not a new story, but it was told in a way that felt it was. The thing I love about K. Bromberg is even if you’re not a car racing fan, you get enough information about racing but not too much to turn a person off.

Cruz and Maddix were a great couple, both supporting each other to be the person they wanted to be. Although Cruz needed a little more help. Lol

The narrators were fantastic. Kit did a great job. You could feel every emotion Maddix felt through Kit’s performance. Robert, first time listening to him, was great as well. However, when he spoke the Spanish, it was just wow and put him on another level for me. I will definitely be looking through both of these narrators back catalogues to hear more of them.

I really enjoyed this one. I loved the family dynamics and how that played into Cruz’s personal. I loved Madds and how she was there for him. The grovel was so good!
