The last guy Abby dated did a number on her heart. She needs a reset. A complete life do-over!
Enter the man fast.
No dating. No worrying about liars and cheats. … fast.
No dating. No worrying about liars and cheats. And no getting her heart broken!
But her resolve is about to be tested when Brennen crashes into her life as a classroom volunteer.

Yep! He wants her!
He’s exactly the type of guy she shouldn’t date. But looks can be deceiving. And there might just be more to this playboy—a side that no one else has ever seen.
What’s a girl to do? Stick to the fast or give in to the bad boy? Or…is there another option?

Man Fast
Bergen Brothers, Book 1
By: Krista Sandor
Narrated by: Monica King
Things are not always as they appear. Abby has moved in with her cousin to start a new life. Things were bad with her old boyfriend, so she is on a 74 day man fast. But when Brennan Bergen walks into her classroom, this fast may not last! This fast, funny and totally entertaining story had me from the start. Abby is a great character. We all have had that feeling at the end of a relationship and Abby’s solution to find herself in a random number of days is a stellar idea. She is smart and while not completely confident, knows herself well enough that she needs time. Brennan is the one that is just so easy to fall fall. The misunderstood, wealthy man needs to come to terms with life, and who better than Abby to help him with that. Add in a 1st grade classroom of fun kids and beautiful scenic descriptions of Denver, and this book is a hit. I loved it!
Monica King is a new narrator for me, and I absolutely loved her. She connected with the characters and her voices were perfect for them. I will definitely be looking for more of her talents in the future.

“Man Fast” took me by surprise, and I’m honestly elated with how much I loved it! Abby is a school teacher, who relocated due to a terrible break-up and had decided to swear off men in a 74-day “man fast” to rediscover herself. Brennen Bergen is Colorado’s notorious playboy, and in a last ditch effort to save his family’s respect as well as his spot in the family business, becomes Abby’s volunteer helper at her school. The chemistry between these two characters is amazing, and their blossoming romance is a slow burn with a few obstacles along the way, leading to a whole lot of sassy, sexy, sweet and funny moments that makes their story quite the page turner. I wanted nothing more than to see these two together! The secondary characters were a fantastic addition, adding depth and background to this charming tale, and I can’t wait to read on to see what’s in store for the next Bergen brother.
Listened to on audio: This was my first listen by narrator, Monica King, and I was just blown away by her performance. She added so much life and personality to these characters, elevating the story for a truly enjoyable and delightful listening experience.
5 Star review of Man Fast (Bergen Brothers #1) by Krista Sandor
Audio Review:
Krista Sandor is a new author to me as is narrator Monica King.
From start to finish I was captivated by the story that the author wove. Brennen Bergen is a man who is rich and powerful, used to getting who and what he wants, whenever he wants.
Abby Quinn is nursing a broken heart and has no intention of becoming involved with another man.
When Brennen is issued an ultimatum, he finds himself volunteering at his former elementary school which is where he meets the intriguing Abby.
I liked Brennen, there is so much more to him than the image he projects. His touch alpha exterior hides a man who hides a tragic past, filled with guilt and pain.
There was so much love and humour on this story that you cannot help but fall for these characters.
Audiobook Review
Abby has packed up her car and left Florida and driven to Colorado. She left behind a heartache and is hoping for a fresh start. She has sworn off men for 74 days, she is having a “man fast” and is determined to put herself first for a change.
Brennen is the ultimate in rich playboy. Using his money to have anyone he wants and forget the outcome. When his grandparents give him an ultimatum he has no idea how his world is about to change.
This is a great story of heartbreak that mends and years of guilt that finally heal. Abby and Brennen are great for each other and they both find their HEA. There are great side characters as well in this story with funny undertones that will make you laugh and swoon. I loved it.
Monica King is terrific narrating this book. She is new to me and I am so excited I got to listen to her. She is talented with doing both Abby and Brennen. Great job.
I highly recommend this audiobook. I can’t wait for book 2 to be out.
This is a great start to a new series. I loved Brennan and Abby’s story, From the beginning, Brennan was an a** but he just needed to see that there was more to himself than the playboy he had turned into. Abby helped him shed his playboy ways and turn himself into someone his parents would be proud of.
Some times you just need a quick Alpha Male read. And that is what we have with Man Fast. The heat factor was off the charts right off the bat. It was amazing, but that is not what we are after here. Abby is done with men and needs to take a break. She breaks her Man Fast with Brennen quickly but realized that she made a mistake. But Brennen wants everything with her. Can he wait out the Man Fast?
How did I not know about Krista before this year? My TBR just got longer.

“Man Fast” de Krista Sandor es el primer libro de la serie “Bergen Brothers”. Esta autora reconocida por escribir otra serie que muero de ganas por leer. Este libro es un romance contemporáneo, divertida y muy dulce, escrita en 3º persona. Es el primer libro que leo de esta autora y me pareció una historia realmente entretenida con una trama muy original que te mantiene con una incertidumbre hasta el último momento.
Abigail Rose Quinn se acaba de mudar de Jacksonville a Denver con la promesa de mantenerse alejada de los hombres durante 74 días. Con un nuevo trabajo en el colegio Whitmore Country Day, parece todo le puede ir mejor ahora. Brennen Carl Bergen durante toda su vida ha hecho lo que ha querido, pero un ultimátum de sus abuelos para que se convierta en un hombre hecho y derecho hace que ponga un pie Whitmore como voluntario.
Abby en cierto modo me pareció una mujer muy valiente, ya que venía de una relación fatídica y se arriesgó en conocer a Brennen, aunque muchos factores la ponían en su contra. Brennen, el hermano medio de los chicos Bergen, es el chico playboy que hace con su vida lo que le da la gana hasta que le paran los pies, entonces se da cuenta de lo que está haciendo y comienza el cambio. En su relación hubo momentos de tira y afloja, ya que ambos vienen de dos mundos muy diferentes, pero con ello añadió momentos muy buenos. Y los 75 días y su por qué, me llego al alma. Los abuelos de Brennen fueron tan dulces y cariñosos, en serio los ame muchísimo. Muero por conocer a esta familia más a fondo y también a la prima de Abby.

“Man Fast” by Krista Sandor is the first book in the “Bergen Brothers” series. This author is renowned for writing another series that I am so excited to read. This book is a contemporary romance, fun and very sweet, written in the 3rd person. It is the first book that I read by this author and I found a really entertaining story with a very original plot that keeps you with uncertainty until the last moment.
Abigail Rose Quinn has just moved from Jacksonville to Denver with the promise of staying away from men for 74 days. With a new job at Whitmore Country Day College, it looks like everything can go better for her now. Brennen Carl Bergen all his life has done what he wanted, but an ultimatum from his grandparents for him to become a grown man makes him put one foot Whitmore as a volunteer.
Abby seemed to be a very brave woman as she came from a bad relationship and risked meeting Brennen, although many factors turned her against him. Brennen, the middle brother of the Bergen boys, is the playboy who does with his life what he wants until they stop, then realizes what he is doing and the change begins. In their relationship, there were moments of tug-of-war, as both come from two very different worlds, but this added very good moments. The 75 days and their way, meant a lot. Brennen’s grandparents were so sweet and loving, I really loved them very much. I’m dying to get to know this family better and also Abby’s cousin.

So I’m a sucker for a Playboy with a heart and a girl who has the ability to break down walls in order to see that heart. Brennen and Abby were perfect together! They had some tense moments in the beginning but soon their true selves came out. Brennen is spoiled rich kid who’s made a name for himself. He’s broke some records and women flock to him. He has a reputation in town. He along with his grandparents are out to change that. They want to see him change his ways. Working with Abby opens him up to see how giving to others can change lives. Abby is getting over a breakup and has decided to get her head straight and take a man fast. I think this was a brillant idea. She got a clear head and see things for the first time. Her and Brennen have some sweet and fun moments together. While I’m not the biggest fan of Elle,(Abby’s cousin) she’s out spoken and totally against the Bergen brothers. There’s a story there I’m sure lol Back to Brennen and Abby, these two are perfect together and I highly enjoyed their story!!
This book was not what I expected especially how it started with Brennen Bergen and how well things were a mess for him but Abby’s life wasn’t going great either. They both needed a new start in life and well their so called careers too. With Abby staying with her cousin and working at a new school she just wanted everything to go well and then enter Brennen a man who just didn’t care for if he did the feelings that were overwhelming because of his loss. Made him quite the jerk but this story shows that everyone deserves a second chance and I absolutely loved how Brennen and Abby changed in the book. It’s funny and sad and entertaining and just so hard to put down because it is that good of a book. I can’t wait to read the next book!
Oh my love this book ..how much I love Brennen and Abby.. she decided no man for 45 days then who walk in her life Brennen …he a playboy image but his family want him to change his way…they have this pure and undeniable chemistry…will Abby be able to do her 45 days single ..will Brennen slow his playboy days…this is a book you must read book..you won’t regret…cant wait to read more of these characters.
My first book by Krista Sandor, you have a new fan. I know this is the first in this series, and I will be reading the rest and whatever else you have written! Abby is broken up with via a note taped to her apartment door, so she relocates from FL to CO. She decided she needs a break from men, and declares a Man Fast for 74 days. She gets a job teaching at a prestigious private school. Brennan Bergen has been a playboy for the last 10 years, but the family is tired of his ways, and has told him to shape up or else. He is the community volunteer at the school Abby is teaching at, and is paired with her. They are so opposite, and the chemistry and attraction is instantaneous. Abby makes Brennan want to be a better person and he remembers her name and wants to know everything he can about her. Oh….to have a boyfriend like Brennan!! He takes her on some seriously romantic “dates” even if they aren’t really dates. Will they be able to keep up her Man Fast? Will Brennan be able to stop his man-whore ways? Is Abby a straight laced teacher all the time or does Brennan bring out a sailor side of her? You need to read to find out, and believe me, you will not be sorry. I was engaged and enthralled the entire book. Very much looking forward to Book 2 in the series.
Man Fast by Krista Sandor is a book that will hook you from the beginning. You can’t help but love adorable Abby Quinn from the start. She’s just been through a bad break up and decides to up and move to Colorado into her cousin Ellie’s place for a fresh start. She accepted a teaching position at a prestigious school and institutes a “man fast” to stay away from men and focus on herself.
Enter Brennan Bergen. Billionaire, play boy, winter athlete extraordinaire. He’s been living the hard and fast life since his parents deaths and his grandparents are tired of it. They give him the ultimatum to shape up or be cut off. His grandmother volunteers him to fill her spot in the schools helper program. There he meets Abby who wants NOTHING to do with him even if he’s the most beautiful man she’s ever seen. As Abby starts to find her back bone and Brennan starts to show his true colors feelings change. Will they end up together or will Abby be too busy scolding him in the supply closet to enjoy him. You have to pick up this great read to find out! I can’t wait to read the next one in the series!
I loved seeing the changes in Brennan. the chemistry between the 2 characters was sizzling. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
OMFG!! WOW!! Krista Sandor BLEW ME AWAY with MAN FAST!! I Could Not Put It in Down and devour it in ONE Sitting since there is So much Suspenseful Surprises and Entertainingly funny things going on. The children in Abby’s First Grade Class are too funny, especially Porter with his obsession with Fire Trucks! It was hilarious, witty and OFF THE CHARTS Hot with the two characters Abby & Brennen. It was non-stop sweet common occurrences from Brennen’s parents and grandparents. This is the Beginning of the Bergen Brother’s which I CANNOT WAIT TO read more from this Series!! Definitely Must Read Book!!!
This book is sweet, funny and cute. It is sexy, exciting, heart-melting entertainment. It even had me cheering on a first-grader!
Brennan in the beginning comes off as a condescending and narcissistic @ss. He was a jerk and OMG! I never wanted to hit a character more! I couldn’t wait for him to be schooled and to have his @ss handed to him! Even with that said, I loved every part of him. From the bad-boy playboy to the kind, understanding man he actually is.
Although Abby made me a little angry for vacillating back and forth, as the story unfolded more, I came to understand an agree with her reasons.
Abby and Brennan’s fall into love is so gradual. So simple and heartwarming and yet so complex. When they were together, my heart simply melted.
Abby has a second chance to teach and prove to herself she can do it. Brennan has one last chance to prove to his family that he is not a lost cause. Is it possible to find love while also trying to find yourself?
This book has that certain something. Not just amazing writing, story line and characters you can connect with, more. It’s enchanting. It wraps a hold of you from the beginning straight through to the end.
I am in love and so anxious and excited for Jasper and Elle’s story.
This book was recommended to me and I’m so very thrilled that it was or I may have missed out on this wonderful gem.
Chicken Soup for the Man Fasted Soul
Fresh off a breakup, Abby has moved cross country to bunk with a like-a-sister cousin in Denver. She’s always taken care of the men in her life, and now it’s time to take care of herself. She’s got a new job and a new goal: a 74 day Man Fast. Like every fast I’ve ever taken, temptation rears its yummy, brawny head fairly quickly in the form of Brennan Bergen, or as Abby jokingly dubs him, the “Duke of Denver”. His family wants him to reform his bad boy image and Abby seems perfect for the job.
It’s a sweet read and downright hilarious at times. I absolutely adored Abby’s class of first graders, particularly Mr Porter “Pyro” and all the shenanigans involved. I hope we have a reprise of Porter in books to come, but I digress. I loved the character development and sub-plots woven into the storytelling (clearly setting up a series, yay!). This author is new to me, but I’m thrilled that I was able to experience Abby and Brennan’s story and the beginning of Bergen Brother’s series.
What do you when you have been in a draining relationship with a douche who leaves you for another woman after so many years, you have a Man Fast of course.
Abigail Quinn has just been recently dumped by her ex and decides to leave her past behind and leave town. She moves in with her cousin but things are still too raw for her she she decides to take a break from men and focus on herself. But a wrench is thrown in her plan when she encounters Brennen Bergen, Denver’s notorious billionaire playboy. Brennen is volunteering at the school that she has recently got a job at. It’s not apples and stars at first bit Abby slowly gets to see the real Brennen Bergen and Brennen gets to just be his true self while being around a woman who doesn’t throw herself at him. It’s quite refreshing and Brennen wants to spend more time with her.
Brennen was so sweet to Abby and I love the fact (although she found him insanely hot) did not throw herself at him. There was no unnecessary drama in this book. It was faced paced and incredibly sweet and beautiful. I read this in one sitting. This playboy left me feeling intrigued in how he was going to win the kind, sweet elementary school teacher.
I’m eagerly awaiting the next book. I desperately want Elle and Jasper’s book. I already know that I am going to love it immensely.
Loved this book. It was funny and lighthearted as well as heartbreaking and romantic in others. Brennen and Abby are so cute together. The man fast idea was brilliant. Can’t wait to read Man Feast!!
There’s something about a crude-talking, bad boy in a room of elementary school students, but Brennan Bergen can charm the pants out of any woman, and he pretty much has…or so he thinks. There’s more to his story, however. And then he comes across teacher Abby Quinn. I really liked her “determined to do it on her own” attitude no matter how much is stacked against her. She has a lot to prove and isn’t going to let him stop her. Their start is a little rocky, no pun intended, and there’s Abby’s no-men pact, but I really enjoyed the two starting a friendship that blossoms, helping each other get past their difficult pasts. Fun read!
