Over the years leading up to the present, Nate hits it big (really big) in the tech industry, and Kattenberger Technologies becomes a billion-dollar company.

He hires her on the spot as an office manager, and off we go. There she meets Nate in all his distracted-genius, geeky, man-child glory. (The mother, oddly, never gets mentioned again, that I can recall.)Īnyway, Rebecca, desperate for a job, any job, goes for an interview at a tiny startup in Brooklyn. Her sister, who is staying with Rebecca along with her newborn son and baby daddy in the present, is flaky. Her mother and younger sister need her as a breadwinner Rebecca is the responsible one. Seven years before the present-day story, Rebecca has to drop out of college following her father’s unexpected death. After finishing the last book, Pipe Dreams, I started to get excited about the Nate/Rebecca book, in part because I don’t think I’ve ever read a book with a nerdy tech billionaire as the hero (let’s face it, truly nerdy romance heroes are a rarity). The timelines of the books overlap, which I kind of like – you get to see little bits of the other relationships play out in each book, almost like Easter eggs. Reading the first three books in the Brooklyn Bruisers series I’ve become increasingly aware of something going on in the background of each story between the owner of the Bruisers, Nate Kattenberger, and the team’s cute and spunky office manager, Rebecca Rowley.
