An enemies to lovers romance with all the witty banter, Man Feast is a heartfelt romantic comedy that follows the Billionaire Bergen Brothers from USA Today Bestselling Author Krista Sandor.

Billionaire workaholic Jasper Bergen calls the shots—and that’s just the way he likes it. 

Period.

As CEO of Bergen Enterprises, he’s dedicated his life to keeping his family’s mountain sports empire profitable. But sales have plateaued, and the company needs a jumpstart.

Enter Elle Reynolds.

She’s a bestselling travel writer whose celebrity adventurer status makes her the perfect choice to boost the company’s public image.

The perfect choice for everyone but Jasper.

Hired by the company’s founders, he has no choice but to work with the free-spirited author.

And while they clash at every turn, Elle can’t quit. Her accountant has swindled her out of millions, and she needs this job to get back on her feet.

But Jasper and Elle may have more in common than they think.

Thanks to their busy schedules, neither’s dated in ages.

Or gotten any.

In a long time.

A situation that can only be remedied by a feast— a MAN FEAST.

When they agree to a no-strings night of passion, their chemistry is off the charts.

And these two opposites soon realize there’s a fine line between love and hate.

Man Feast is the second book in the three-book Bergen Brothers Series. You’ll laugh, sigh, and swoon over the playboy, the CEO, the runaway heir, and the smart women who bring these brothers to their knees. This book can be read as a standalone or as part of the series.

There done! I have to admit this book is a bit boring. The whole idea of workaholic billionaire is very promising. Especially when he is paired with easy spirit heroine.

Too bad the author does not add anything interesting into the story. Just a repeatative formula of romance. Even the pace is a bit boring.

Anyway it still an OK read. I do enjoy all of the descriptive explanatio of skiing in Denver.

Spanish:
“Man Feast” de Krista Sandor es el segundo libro de la serie “Bergen Brothers”. Este libro es un romance contemporáneo, divertida y muy dulce, escrita en 3º persona. Me ha encantado la idea original del libro que hizo que los personajes tuvieran una química desbordante.

Eleanor Reynolds es una escritora famosa con libros hechos películas y muy exitosa. Pero todo se desploma cuando su ex administrador de dinero le roba todo el dinero que ella tenía, y si, eran millones. Ahora será la imagen para mejorar la compañía Bergen y tendrá que lidiar con el CEO más sexy. Jasper no tuvo otra elección a aceptar lo que sus abuelos dictaron, y aunque al principio no se soportan, ambos no podrán negar la química explosiva que tienen.

Este libro es lo contrario al anterior en cuanto a los personajes, la narración, el drama, y me ha encantado. Me supo a mal la situación en la que fue puesta Eleanor por su representante, pero supo seguir adelante. En el anterior libro me encanto la aparición de los abuelos y con este sigue de nuevo las risas aseguradas gracias a ellos. Como cada generación Bergen mete la pata es muy común, y con los padres de Jasper y los huevos no pude para de reír. Fue increíblemente bueno. Pero no puedo dejar de pensar en el final del libro y el último de los hermanos Bergen, es el que más me intriga y con ello me atrae sin conocerlo.
Tengo que decir que no soy muy fan de la salsa, en contadas ocasiones he escuchado, pero cuando terminé el libro puse la canción y me puse a bailar como una loca.

English:
"Man Feast" by Krista Sandor is the second book in the "Bergen Brothers" series. This book is a contemporary romance, funny and very sweet, written in the 3rd person. I loved the original idea of the book that created the characters with overflowing chemistry.

Eleanor Reynolds is a famous writer with books made into movies and very successful. But it all collapses when her former money manager steals all the money she had, and it was millions. Now she will be the image to improve the Bergen company and will have to deal with the sexiest CEO. Jasper had no choice but to accept what his grandparents dictated, although at first, they can't tolerate each other, they won't be able to deny the explosive chemistry they have.

This book is the opposite of the previous one in the characters and the story, and I loved it. I was disappointed with the situation Eleanor was put in by her manager, but she was able to keep going. In the previous book I loved the grandparents' appearance, and with this one continues the laughter guaranteed thanks to them. As each generation, Bergen screws up is very common, and with Jasper's parents and eggs, I could not stop laughing. It was incredibly good. But I can't stop thinking about the end of the book and the last of the Bergen brothers, he's the one that fascinates me the most and attracts me without knowing him.
I have to say that I'm not a big fan of salsa, I've rarely listened, but when I finished the book I put on the song and started dancing like a crazy girl.

Eleanor is a Travel Reporter hired to help Bergen Enterprises boost their sales in targeted age groups. She is also Abby’s cousin and has just found out she has been swindled by her money manager out of most of her money. She needs the job with Bergen Enterprises but hates the uptight, hollow bunny boss, Jasper. These two are like fire and gasoline when they are near each other. Sometimes it’s good but most of the time it’s bad. I loved watching these two fight and love and fight again. Tissues may be needed because these are two stubborn people. Ms. Sandor has written a great follow up to the first book and I can’t wait for the next book.

This is a review from an ARC I received. I recently found Krista and have fallen in love with her writing style. The Bergen brothers in both this book and Man Fast makes you fall in love with this series, can’t wait for the 3rd book. Love that the characters have real struggles and although there is an HEA it’s not predictable how it gets there. Highly recommend this entire series and this author.

When I first met Jasper Bergen, I was instantly smitten. I wanted to read more about the uptight, workaholic eldest brother. And who better to show this brother how to let loose than the vivacious travel writer, Elle Reynolds.

Elle has just lost her fortune thanks to her money hungry accountant and she has to reluctantly agree to work for Jasper to help attract people around her age bracket to visit the Bergen Resorts. If she wasn’t in dire need for the money, she would pass on working with the infuriating man who pushes every button she has. He wants to constantly micromanage every little thing she does and being stuck with him on Bergen Mountain, faces are going to get clawed or .... clothes are going to be shed. This duo decide on option 2 and thus the Man Feast commences.

Elle and Jasper’s relationship was fast paced and extremely hot although Jasper was cold at times. Their alter egos cracked me up. It was so unlike Jasper. I didn’t know he had it in him. I also love how once these Bergen Brothers realize they in love, they go all in (after they pull their heads out of their a**ses of course).

P.S. I can’t wait for the long lost brother’s book. Camden, I know you are going to be something special!

Holy hotness, what a read! The heat and sexual attraction between Jasper and Elle kept me turning the pages well past my bedtime. My favourite trope is enemies to lovers and Krista knocked this out of the park. This is a must read!!

A salivating addition to the Bergen Brothers series!

Initially, Jasper and Elle's interactions start out similarly to mixing oil and water. Despite the obvious sexual attraction, these two are hell-bent on not playing nice. With both being strong-willed and self-assured, the recipe for disaster is written on the walls. That is until they're forced together and agree to a "Man Feast"-- something akin to a no-strings attached deal. The pseudo-contractual arrangement leads to unique, legalese dirty talk and a softening of both their hearts and minds. Then, the lack of compatibility turns into some explosive chemistry. But can they survive their pasts and their preconceived notions?

After reading Man Fast (book 1), I was already lamenting the wait to read Man Feast. It did not disappoint! I felt myself connecting with Elle and Jasper even more than I did Brennan and Abby. The depth from both characters shone through brilliantly in this second installment. Jasper's sweet side and Elle's willingness to trust him blossomed throughout the story. I loved learning more about both families, especially the memories of the Bergen parents. I even teared up at certain points (very unlike me)! Definite page turner that had me invested in the ending.

If you're into billionaires throwing their money around a bit to express their love and headstrong females who don't NEED to be dependent on the man, this is for you! You've got some cute kid antics and meddling families as well. Despite Jasper *technically* being Elle's "boss", that trope doesn't truly factor into the storyline.

The ebb and flow of the storytelling proved even better than Man Fast. And now I anxiously await Cam's story in what I assume could only be "pithily", yet aptly, titled Man Find.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC.

She pushes him out of his comfort zone.

Eleanor “Elle” is a very successful writer, a travel writer with book deals and a movie. And money in the back, until she lost it all to her accountant/money manager. She is having a very bad day. She needs to take a new gig promoting Bergen Sports and resorts. And work with their grandson, Jasper. Who is her opposite.
She’s creative and imaginative.

Jasper Bergen is a highly regimented CEO with control issues. The oldest of the three brothers, he put his dreams on hold to run the family company and he thinks they don’t need Elle. News flash. Both Jasper and the company need Elle.

They embark on a Man Feast. But will Jasper man up when the stick turns positive?
Recommend for a feisty and well crafted enemies to lovers.

Krista you are a wonderful writer. I enjoyed this book from the first page to the last page. Jasper a hot CEO who is a workaholic. Then you have Elle who gets hired at Bergen Enterprises and Jasper is not happy about it. It's so comical, I laughed so hard at these to butting heads constantly. What a man feast this book is when you have two who are forced to work together despite their feelings but then they decide since neither have had sex in years that what could one night hurt. What could one night of pure passion lead to with these two? An adventure full of love, happiness, hotheadedness, anger, romance and comedy at it's best. 5 Stars +++. Thank you Krista.

The Bergen brothers are easy on the eyes, but detrimental to the heart. Sandor takes complicated men and simplifies their heart's desire with an overabundance of drama along the way. Man Feast reintroduces Elle Reynolds, Abby's cousin. In Man Fast, Elle proved to be the voice of reason. Man Feast finds her spiraling as she navigates betrayal and the overpowering presence of Jasper Bergen, Brennen's brother. Brennen was the charmer, but Jasper is anything but. He's a piece of work in a three piece suit that guards his heart well. Elle and Jasper go from virtual enemies to combustible lovers in the blink of an eye, but will the need for control implode their happy ending? Sandor turns heartbreaking into irresistible and I am so enjoying the ride.

Jasper is buttoned up pretty tight and takes his responsibilities at Bergen Enterprised very seriously. Never one to let loose and have fun. When he meets Abby's cousin Elle, he is just itching for a fight with her. But you know what they say about those that protest too much......yep....he has the hots for her in a big way. Actually in a way that he doesn't even want to entertain. Ept that pesky heart gets involved. Elle's attitude makes the story for me. So happy to see she tamed the beast and helped him to live again.

Great addition to the series. Can't wait to meet the mystery brother in the next book.

Oh the banter!!!! I had just finished a book that gave me an EPIC book hangover, so I really needed a book that would make laugh.

Man Feast did that and more!!! I was giggling right from the beginning!!! And the banter.....was perfect!!!! Elle and Jasper were perfect for each other!!! But, Jasper was a bit of a d^ck at times!

I am so enjoying this new series from Ms. Sandor! Now, I am so ready and so very curious for Camden’s story!!!!

I'm the first to say that billionaire books are not my go-to reads, but Krista Sandor has created a series based on the Bergen brothers who are out of the norm. While they have money, they value family and those relationships first and foremost, even if they get temporarily sidetracked to guard their feelings. As I am prone to do I started with book two of the series but I feel Ms. Sandor filled in enough background for the couple in book one I totally knew what was going on. I will be reading Man Fast next, however, lol. Once I cracked open this book, I had a hard time doing anything else, I loved the push and pull of this couple. When they got along they were amazing and when they fought OMG even more so. Ms. Sandor's style and pacing in this book is spot on. I love good banter and an as enemies to lovers stories go, her banter is stellar and the sexual tension/scenes are HOT.
Jasper is the oldest brother and strives to uphold the family business after the death of his parents. Fear and guilt are big motivators in his life, so his walls are thick around his heart. He has become a buttoned-up workaholic who lives and breathes his scheduled ordered life. When his grandparents hire Elle Reynolds, a free-spirited travel guru to help rebrand their resorts and sporting good stores, all hell breaks loose. They both have their reasons to guard their hearts, and while some secrets are shared as they become closer, when the bomb drops, it looks bleak, and makes Elle look bad.
I love that Elle takes care of her mom in the wake of her parents' divorce. I love that the grandparents are close to the brothers. Above all else I love the humor in this book. I will have a hard time looking at chocolate Easter bunnies without thinking of Jasper. Krista Sandor has created an awesome read, find a cozy spot and grab a glass of wine (or tequila) and enjoy!

When I read the first book of this series shortly before it’s release, I fell in love with the whole Bergen family and was looking forward to reading Jasper’s story. I missed an early copy but was able to get my hands on one on release day and Sandor far exceeded my expectations! Her snark, sass and wit captivated me from the very first page. She doesn’t take our OCD, fastidious, grumpy-pants hero too seriously and I delighted in her subversively poking fun at Mr. Stick Up His You-Know-What. Halfway through the first chapter it was clear Jasper Bergen was becoming unwound by the heroine, and I giggled in gleeful anticipation of Elle’s unbuttoning, disheveling and loosening him up and quite possibly even eliciting a smile on Jasper's curmudgeonly face.

Calling this an *enemies* to lovers book is like calling the Rocky Mountains gentle, rolling hills. We need a new word that means “I’d rather yank my brain out through my nose, boil it in oil and immediately insert it up against the front of my pelvic bone without any anesthesia than spend a second in the same county as you" to express the severity of these two enemies and how they feel about each other.

As volatile as Jasper and Elle are, there are still plenty of laughs and an abundance of heart tugs. Jasper, with as controlled and perfectly as he insists his life be ordered, is quite the heart breaker when his existential crisis hits. Then, watching him fall apart and devolve into the train wreck you can’t look away from, well, you can’t help but cheer and pull for him as he tries to win the girl. And Elle, gah! She's my biggest, latest girl crush, because she just rocks along, and you know, no matter what happens, she'll be just fine. (And any girl who uses grammatical ability as a barometer for date potential is aces in my book!) Let’s just say that the guy who has everything under lock-and-key control needs the gal who embraces the moment far more than she needs him.

Okay, I think I’ve effused about these awesomely loveable characters, this hilarious and heart felt storyline and the delightfully witty and sarcastic writing enough. Just grab the book already. You’ll love these characters, be eager for more, and won’t be the least bit sorry you spent time with the wonderful Bergen family!

Man Feast by Krista Sandor

I am voluntarily reviewing this ARC.

I received this book and was so excited to dive right in! Krista Sandor writes deep, romances with steam and sizzle. This one was no different.
We meet Elle Renalds as she is meeting with her lawyer regarding her being the victim of a Ponzi scheme. She has lost almost everything she has worked so hard for as a travel and romance author. Now she’s forced to take a job with the dreaded oldest Bergen brother, Jasper. He is surly and rude and she is not looking forward to this.
The story progresses from them wanting to rip eachother limb from limb to them wanting to rip each others clothes off. I won’t give away any details but I will tell you this story grabs you and doesn’t let you go. There are complex situations but no annoying misunderstandings. I will tell you, quite a few swoony tears were shed, and I could not possibly be more in love with Elle and Jasper!
Bravo Krista Sandor!!! Bravo!!!

I have fallen in love with these Bergen brothers!
Krista writes such strong, sexy, alpha but loving hero’s! And her heroines are always strong and sassy.

I loved Ella in book 1. I needed to know more about her and her lifestyle. Why did she hate the Bergen Brothers so much, or should I say Jasper the most! I do have to say she wasn’t what I was expecting. I didn’t think she had all of that going on in her life and family. But I love how hard she loves her family!

Jasper, man is he the typical CEO workaholic. Don’t get me wrong, I love that type of hero, like I said total alpha! But I was hoping deep down inside him he had that romantic side of him and he could love just as hard. I mean how could he not with the parents he had.

Getting these two together was amazing! Loved everything about them. I still love my Brennen but Jasper is right up there with him lol.

Do I recommend this book?! TOTALLY! I HIGHLY recommend all of Krista Sandor’s books!!
This is a 5️⃣🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 PLUS book.

The saying " There's a fine line between love and hate" has never applied more than it does with this book! Jasper Bergen is an all work and no play CEO of his families mega business. Elle Reynolds is a best selling travel writer who's recently put her trust in the wrong person and had all her money stolen from her. When Jaspers grandparents hire her to boost the companies image she has no choice but to accept. Both are less than thrilled to be working together. Jasper finds Elle as both a distraction and a problem. Elle thinks Jasper is uptight and hollow. You meet both Elle and Jasper briefly in book one in this series which is Elle's cousin Abby's book. You don't have to read that one to fall in love with this one though. I wasn't able to put it down. Through the fighting, the love and the fighting again you learn just how passionate these two people truly are. I promise you won't be disappointed in reading this book. It will just make you excited for the next one!

In book one Abby was having a man fast. In book two her cousin Elle is enjoying a man feast. Opposites attract in this fun romance. Jasper is the staid, serious Bergen brother. He is all work and no play. that is until Eleanor arrives. She is a world traveling author. She has been hired to help the Bergen family increase their sales with a target group. when Jasper and Elle meet. their are fireworks. Not necessarily the sexy kind. they are at each other throats. He thinks she is irresponsible and careless. she thinks he is too stuffy. Can the two of them call a truce and work together? A bear family, a jar of honey and a snow bank cause a twist in their relationship and things get interesting from there. The story is fun, with some underlying seriousness. Jasper has to deal with his past and the death of his parents just like his brother did. You will love the story of how Jasper and Elle get their HEA.

Loved it so so much!!! Elle’s character was so much fun to read. I loved the banter between her and Jasper. There was so much to this story that I couldn’t put it down. I was all in from page 1 and couldn’t seem to read it fast enough. I loved having the characters from book one as well. All four them are hilarious and just so entertaining!

This story was a lot of emotions and never knew what was going to happen next. Thanks to the author for writing this one and can’t wait to read more!!!

I really enjoyed this novel. Out of the two that are out so far this one is definitely my favorite. Jasper and Elle are just the greatest couple because of their initial hatred for each other. This story is a true enemies to lovers story with the couple that are polar opposites to begin with and just don't see eye-to-eye. Elle is a free spirit and Jasper is a buttoned up CEO. The chemistry for this couple is simply off the charts and it makes for one heck of a story. You will need to read this one when it comes out. Don't miss it!

I really enjoyed this book, I am definitely going to read the first and next in the series. I really enjoyed the animosity the two had in the beginning of the book, I do wish it went on like that a little longer. I enjoy that kind of banter more than romantic. Elle is a very likable character but I found him to be a douche at times, obviously. From what I read from Brenn's scenes, I think I'd enjoy that book even more. I was dying at the end with the bear conversation, I am going to keep that vague so I don't spoil anything. :P There were many laugh out loud moments, highly recommend.

It’s no surprise how amazing this book is! The Bergen brothers charm shines through in each book and though at times I wanted to throttle and slap Jasper I can say that he is definitely my favorite! His pain and broodiness was a result of the deep pain he carried inside! The only calm to his storm was the ever unpredictable Eleanor! It made no sense though because these two couldn’t agree about anything until their hate turned into lust and had them burning with desire!

Elle and Jasper had a lot to work through both together and alone. It wasn’t until they realized that what they had was worth the fight that these two started to strive for more together! Love is such a fickle thing when you’ve been hurt but when you find you’re soul in the eyes of another love becomes everything! I can say without a shadow of doubt that this is my favorite trio of brothers! When they finally find their way the Bergen brothers are simply amazing! I’m still laughing at their antics!
