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!

This is not my first read, I’ve had the honor of reading every single book this author has put out, well form the beginning, all 5 from the first series Langley Park and now this new series. That means I have already read Book #1, and will say that Krista has been one of my very firsts when I started bookstagramming, I enjoy her books so much I can’t wait for more!
Right off the bet, the book dives in. Where Elle is sitting in front of a high-priced attorney…not for the reason you may think. Her A-hole of a assistant did unspeakable things where Elle is not left with nothing to her name except what was paid up-front and is actually to her name. That doesn’t leave her much, so the deal she has with Bergen Enterprises she really can not miss out on that. It will help her, her mother and of course get her back on her feet.
Jasper Bergan, what do I say about this broody hunk of sexiness! Well that, and he is very responsible and hahaha Elle throws him off kilter. It’s the best thing ever! A big man like him, finally meeting his match in a lot of ways. Even though at the beginning he does a fantastic job of denying and putting his feeling or anything regarding Elle off.
The adventurous, the places, Krista is very good with details not too much and just enough to suck you right in a story. Her characters are always very well written, I think I enjoyed both of them in here. I always love me some broody sexy CEO man, duhh! Am i right?! Finally the stuffy suit wearing man let’s the carefree author show him what it feels to be carefree. Even their love making is unique, sexy yes but unique. He calls her by her full name and middle name which is so adorable and so Jasper. They are ALSO SWEET TOGETHER, he can really SWOON anyone, even if he is a stuffy-suit-wearing man. Their opposite attracts is magical! I think i really fell in love with that, not to mention the fact that they happen to have something so in common….*SIGH* no spoilers don’t worry!!
I really love these two together, something different and yet even the different sometimes the soul isn’t so much. If you want some fun, adventure, sexy and ALL THE FEELINGS, this is for you!!

Trusting the wrong man has gotten her where she is today She is not going there again. When she meets Jas, she can’t stand him All they do is argue and push each other’s buttons. Can a night stuck in a cabin change all that?
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I am loving this series. Fun witty and with great secondary characters it draws you in and keeps your interest. This book follows buttoned up straight laced Jasper and adventure seeking Elle. The instant chemistry they have verse from anger to sexual tension and back again several times during book and keeps you guessing. I can’t wait for Cameron’s book.
Loved the book it was great the story was well written and the characters were interesting. Jasper is a workaholic no time for anything in his life not even romance until Elle gets hired by the other founders Jasper was not happy. Elle is a best travel writer and was hired to help Jasper but they just butt heads they are total opposites. Can they work together?.
Thank you for allowing me to review this book it was great.

Jasper is my new favorite Bergen Brother and book boyfriend! Opposites definitely attract in this latest addition to the series, and they’re hotter than magnets in the summer heat. The situations that Jasper and Elle find themselves in, will keep you laughing and put a blush on your cheeks. Filled with great chemistry and witty banter, the Bergen Brothers is quickly becoming one of my favorite series!
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 5⃣ PLUS book.
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.
I really enjoyed this book. I so wanted to smack Jasper so many times but I’m glad he wished up in the end. I can’t wait to read Cam’s book. I’m anxiously waiting for that one.
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!
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!
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.
Fabulous! I didn’t think this story could beat the first story but it held its own as the second in the delicious Bergen brothers series. This is a terrific enemies to lovers romance with so many laugh-out-loud moments as Jasper and Eleanor go at each other when thrown together by work and family. The spreadsheet loving, stogie Jasper is turn on his head by the effervescent, sassy Elle. Opposites really do attract and with a little help from wild bears, an overnight alone for Jas and Elle turns steamy. The man feast is on! That Jasper knows a lot more that just spreadsheets and numbers. Whew, he’s hot! And he’s out to prove he’s no hollow bunny to the wild and wonderful Elle. She’s got a few tricks up her sleeves and teaches the oldest Bergen a few new things. The role play was hilarious and sexy. I love this series and can’t wait for the next Bergen brother story. Great writing, fantastic characters, main and secondary, a sizzling romance and the breathtaking ski resort backdrop makes this an entertaining must read. Loved it! I voluntarily reviewed an ARC.
“You are the most infuriating person I have ever met, and I wouldn’t change one damn thing about you.”
This book started with fire and ice and turned hot and steamy and everything in between.
This is the second book in the Bergen Brother’s series. It can be read as a stand alone. Eleanor is a travel writer who is strong, witty and loves life. Jasper is the CEO of Bergen Mountain Sports and he is all about order, control and numbers. I loved the push and pull these two had. The arguments, banter and everything in between makes this story a page turner that doesn’t disappoint.
I absolutely loved Elle and Jaspers story! It’s a enemy to lovers romance. I loved that Elle was a strong female who handled her hurdles in stride. It took me a minute to warm up to jasper but one I did I was a goner. I can’t wait to see what’s next to come!
Jasper Bergen, control freak CEO and the eldest of the Bergen brothers. Elle Reynolds, famous travel writer and just goes with the flow. Two complete opposites, but their chemistry is EXPLOSIVE!
They can’t stand each other but Jasper’s brother, Brennan, and Elle’s cousin, Abby, are getting married so they are forced to spend time together, not to mention the fact that Elle is going to work for Bergen Enterprises. Will Elle be able to crack the hollow bunny? Will they listen to their friends and family and have a Man Feast?
I absolutely LOVED Elle and Jasper! Their chemistry was fantastic, the banter between them was hilarious and so perfect. Of course, there was so much more to this story besides the banter. It was HOT, it was sweet and it was emotional.
Krista has a way with words the completely sucks you into the story and makes you completely fall in love with the characters, the story and the scenery. Man Feast is a another MUST READ!
Man Feast was just like Man Fast, I could not put it down. Jasper and Elle are both going through a dry spell in the steamy relations department for very different reasons, so Abby puts the idea into Elle’s head that she needs a man feast even if it’s with a man that drives her crazy. This a hate to love story, with a side of insta-love. Both characters have their own tragedies that molded them into these amazing people that are opposites in many, but they come together providing a beautiful balance. While the MCs haven’t known each other all that long, the way they reveal things about themselves happens organically, all the dots are connected. Once again the author has written a kick ass female character. Also I appreciate how the author incorporates her secondary and tertiary characters into her books. They all play a vital role at some point within their respective series, they are never “filler”. This book also reveals what’s to come in the next Bergen Brother’s book, and I know it’s going to be good.
Man Feast is book two in the Bergen Brothers series. I really loved it. I loved Jasper and Elle. I loved their banter and explosive chemistry. They were total opposites but were perfect for each other! I loved them together. Looking forward to reading the next book!
Brilliant absolutely brilliant.
I couldn’t stop reading once I started with this story. I was pulled in right from the beginning. I loved the characters and the banter between them. The storyline was fantastic and very enjoyable. I honestly don’t think I can give this book the credit it deserves. Absolutely fantastic.
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!
