From New York Times bestselling author K. Bromberg comes the raw, sexy, and jaw-dropping finale to the Wicked Ways series.I play to win, and I won’t let anything—or anyone—get in the way of what I want.The first time I met Vaughn Sanders, I knew I wanted her. Confident, intelligent, and downright sexy. I thought I knew how to play her game. I was ready and willing for the challenge. Little did I … willing for the challenge. Little did I know she was full of secrets and surprises.
But so am I.
Charming a woman into my bed has never been my problem. It’s the relationship part that is. They want it. I don’t. But can you blame me? Broken marriages are how I make a living. Hell, no self-respecting man would let a woman own his thoughts, invade his dreams, and steal his heart. So how in the world has Vaughn done that to me?
I’ve fallen in love with her. There. I said it. But that acknowledgment comes with a heavy price.
Everything and everyone seem to be working against us, leaving us both to question whether what we have is worth the cost.
I’ll be damned if I go down without a fight.

Omg, what a thrilling, emotional and sexy conclusion to Vaughn and Ryker’s story! Reveal picks right up where Resist left off and hit’s the ground running. Both Vaughn and Ryker are heart broken over Ryker’s stunning actions at the end of Resist. Vaughn, nor I, could see a way for him to redeem himself, and as he tries, he only makes things worse. Vaughn is fighting to move on from Ryker, and win custody of Lucy. But there are new players, along with the current, and terrifying adversaries that threaten her very existence. My heart hurt so much for Vaughn, Lucy, and Ryker. The many twists and turns this gripping story took had me totally captivated, and turning the pages, trying to find out what will happen next! I am so in awe of Vaughn and how strong, brave, and resilient she is. I loved how this story unfolded and the way things came together. I especially loved the epilogue, bringing me to tears. This is the perfect conclusion to this thrilling, emotional and sexy love story!
Cheese and rice.
This book has put me through the notions or what.
So many ups and downs i didn’t know which way to look and what to feel, anger was a good portion but then you have the ‘aww’ moments and the steam. It was the perfect mix.
I don’t know what it is about K Bromberg but when she writes a character your supposed to hate she does it exceptionally well like I’ve never felt so much hate and anger towards the bad characters as i do when it comes to her books.
When i first finished Resist a few weeks ago i thought the wait would kill me not knowing what’s going on with these characters and i did but it also gave me that time away to think about these characters more and more.
I forgot just how much i loved the characters until i picked this book back up, like you have high thoughts and expectations of them but then you read more of them or go back to them and realise the thoughts you had before was nothing compared to what you feel when you have them back in your hands and your reading them again.
Goodness, what a wild ride this book was! Kristy left us on a doozy of a cliffhanger at the end of Resist, and not gonna lie, my mind was racing with what the hell was really going on and how was Ryker going to get himself out of the mess he landed in.
I am SO happy that Kristy starts Reveal out in Ryker’s point of view. I mean yes, he has a reputation as being a world class prick and a take no prisoners lawyer to get what he needs for his clients, but I thought he had been turning a huge corner with Vaughn, only to act the way he did at the very end of book 1. He had some serious making up to do with Vaughn, and bless her, she made him WORK FOR IT!
Poor Vaughn, everything and the kitchen sink gets thrown at her in this book! I was getting stressed out and having stomach aches over the things she had to deal with! But Kristy illustrates perfectly what a fighter Vaughn is, how much strength and perseverance she had to weather all the storms thrown at her.
Some whacked out things happened this go around, worse than in the first book, but we finally get all the answers to everything we were left hanging with from the beginning. And Ryker and Vaughn together? An unstoppable team!
Kristy certainly wove a twisted, turning tale and I tried to figure out what all was going to happen but ultimately I just gave up and held on for the ride! Vaughn and Ryker both did a lot of soul searching and figured out exactly was the most important to them, and I absolutely loved them together. And Lucy Loo, of course!!
The ending put the biggest smile on my face, and I hate that this is the end of the story. I hope these characters continue to pop up as cameos in future stories from Kristy, I don’t want to say goodbye!
Oh, sweet baby Jesus! This was everything I wanted and nothing I was expecting!
Vaughn and Ryker’s story picks up where it heartbreakingly broke off in book one. Ryker has messed up royally, as in there is no going back after his actions. We get his point of view and we understand the why, but you know, sometimes that just doesn’t justify a person’s actions. And Vaughn does not yield to his explanations and pleas for forgiveness. If you like groveling, the first forty percent of this book is filled with the angst of this couple trying to deal with his betrayal and how that affects Vaughn, not just emotionally, but in a way that opens the door to danger.
I loved watching Vaughn and Ryker evolve from two individuals with their issues regarding love and happy ever afters, to a place that was real, one where they had to make the emotional choices of what to give in to and what to fight. But even when they know how they feel and what they want, this isn’t a fairytale where everything automatically works out for them. They are human and flawed and they make decisions that can adversely affect their relationship. And while their troubles are more than what the “normal” couple would experience, the manner in which they dealt with them felt very realistic.
There are many layers to this story, beginning in Resist and continuing throughout Reveal. With the level of emotion written here I wasn’t expecting more but holy heck did I get it! Several times over! When engaged in a story I often can read it in one sitting, but the angst here was so painful at times, I had to take a step back for a breather.
I loved everything about this book. Vaugh and Ryker as well as Lucy and the swoon worthy moments when Ryker was interacting with her, are all characters and images I’ll hold for a long while. And as if all the previous emotions we’re given throughout the story weren’t enough, we get an epilogue that had tears welling in my eyes and my throat clogged from holding back a happy sob. Nothing makes an angsty read more worthwhile than this type of ending.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book provided by NetGalley and Montlake Romance. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Ryker and Vaughn UTTERLY CONSUMED my life. A sleepless night after the ending of Resist and then I was restless the whole time I read Reveal.
O. M. G.
Their intense story line was an incredible rollercoaster ride of suspense and emotion as well as a combo of heat filled tension and passion from ebb and flows of Ryker and Vaughn’s relationship.
It took me quite some time to come down from the incredible high I got from this book. I needed long moments to decompress. I mean, for two days straight Vaughn and Ryker were all I could think about. Their chemistry was just as intense as it was in RESIST. That stubborn streak of Vaughn’s never wavered. And Ryker’s persistence never waned. Even when they had secrets and surprises jumping out of every closet to keep them apart. They may have weakened for a slight moment in time, but what they shared was incredibly real and they joined forces to get through it all and come out on top.
The suspense build up from RESIST definitely gave me the full blown effect here. My stomach was in knots, my nerves were shot… but when they came out the other side??? My heart was beyond happy and content. What an INCREDIBLE story from K Bromberg!!!
