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.

Ryker and Vaughn consumed me! I couldn’t get my hands on this book fast enough! What an emotional, intense journey with this two characters that I adored. I would have read the conclusion of their story straight through if life wouldn’t have interfered! LOL Secrets, mystery, drama, lies, steamy chemistry. Ryker couldn’t have been more perfect as far as I’m concerned–I loved him and his protectiveness. Vaughn’s desire to stand on her own and fight her own battles only made me love her more, while biting my nails for her! If you’re looking for a passionate, suspenseful, edge-of-your-seat romantic suspense, look no further. This is why I love this author’s writing — she nails it every single time. 10+ star read and a must-have in my “favorites” library! I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC for NetGalley.
This by far is the best book Kristy has ever written. It’s full of action and humor, love and terror. Ryker Lockhart is the alpha of all alphas but he also has a tender side when it comes to Vaughn and Lucy. It was amazing watching Vaughn and Ryker fall in love. They both fought it throughout the entire series. The blows kept coming at these two, Vaughn specifically. As soon as one hurdle was overcome, a new problem arose for her. At no point in the book did I see any of what happened happen. Usually after reading an author for a while you can see where their mind is going and get there before they write it. Not with this book, not until the epilogue that is.
This book is a 5+ star read. I want more Vaughn and Ryker. They have taken over the number one K Bromberg couple in my mind. They couldn’t be more perfect for each other. This series is a must read!
I’ve been anxiously waiting to see what happens with Vaughn and Ryker! I felt like I went through so many emotions. While I always enjoy the romance part of the story, the plot was great. The whole time I was trying to figure out what was happening before I read it. It definitely kept my attention the whole time. Great read!
Wow, this book gave me all the feels & left me in awe!! I was not so patiently waiting to see the conclusion to this duet! I was extremely excited to dive in. Vaughn is such a strong, stubborn character & I loved her. Ryker is a charming jerk, that I was questioning how he was even more of a jerk than I expected at the end of the prior book. He shocked me so much at the end of the prior book and I was wondering how this author would be able to redeem himself. The secrets & all of the deception throughout kept this story entertaining. This author kept me on my toes, wondering what was going to happen next. The twists & turns were so well written to keep us Turing those pages & did I ever!
Poor Vaughn has had a rough life & it just kept pulling her down. The determination, the strength was just perfect for these characters. The chemistry, the love oozes from each page as you read this story.
I highly recommend this book. Told in dual POV.
Reveal by K. Bromberg is book 2 in the Wicked Ways Series. This continues the story of Vaughn and Ryker, so you should read the previous book “Resist” first to full understand their story. This book picks up pretty much where we left off in the last one. Ryker has some explaining to d0 after that cliffhanger from book one. But Vaughn isn’t someone that wants to hear anything he has to say at first. But this book gives us the answers we need and we start to get the full pictures along with love coming together.
This is the conclusion to the duet in the Wicked Ways series, so make sure you read Resist before reading this one.
The ending of Resist had my jaw on the floor, and this book picks up right where it left off.
Vaughn is still trying to get her ducks in a row so she can get Lucy, and Ryker is fighting his emotions about having a relationship.
These two are pretty much a train wreck you can’t look away from the entire time. The twists, turns, surprises keep coming and keep them from truly opening up to one another. I almost feel like some of this was drawn out a little, and they really didn’t get their fair shot due to all the suspense that followed them throughout the book. Even when you thought they were in the clear, something else would pop up.
Even with everything going on, I still loved them together. The love they had for Lucy and the sacrifices they made for each proved that they really care about each other.

Après la fin incroyable de Resist, je ne pouvais que me jeter sur Reveal afin de connaitre les tenants et les aboutissements de l’incroyable histoire de Ryker et Vaughn. La tension était là et elle va le rester car nous ne sommes pas au bout de nos surprises. Nous allons continuer à détester certains personnages, nous allons en adorer d’autres et nous allons retenir notre souffle en attendant le dénouement final.
Vaughn Sanders a été anéantie à la fin de Reveal par les révélations qu’elle a entendu de la part de Ryker. Pour moi, il était évident qu’il y avait anguilles sous roche et que nous n’avions pas pu nous faire avoir d’une telle façon. Il devait y avoir des circonstances atténuantes et nous sommes en quelque sorte rassurée dès le début du roman. Mais ne croyez pas que la vie de la jeune femme va désormais être un long fleuve tranquille car elle va au contraire devoir se battre de tous les côtés. Si au départ, elle a créé Wicked Ways afin de trouver un moyen de protéger Lucy du mieux qu’elle peut, dans ce tome, elle va devoir affronter problèmes après problèmes. Certains combats seront épiques, d’autres seront contre elle même et ses sentiments. J’ai adoré le personnage de Vaughn car elle ne renoncera jamais face à l’adversité. Elle va se retrouver dans des situations inextricables mais elle saura toujours utiliser son intelligence à des fins incroyables. Son passé n’a pas fini de resurgir et elle va devoir donc dénouer le vrai du faux car savoir à qui elle peut faire confiance va se révéler être épique.
Elle devra aussi faire face à la ténacité de Priscilla qui est trop impliquée dans son travail et qui fera tout pour que Lucy soit dans le meilleur foyer possible. Nous avons d’ailleurs quelques scènes en sa compagnie qui nous donne le sourire . Cette jeune fille est une bouffée d’oxygène dans cette atmosphère parfois anxiogène et j’ai adoré non seulement sa relation avec sa tante mais surtout celle qu’elle pourrait construire avec Ryder. Elle devra aussi faire face à son coeur brisé car Ryker a fait vraiment fort lors de cette soirée dans les Hamptons. On verra que ses intentions n’étaient pas mauvaises mais en agissant de la sorte, il l’a mise en pâture et va lui faire courir un danger encore plus intense que prévu. Carter Preston est la pire ordure de tous et je l’ai détesté à un tel point ! Mission accomplie K Bromberg car l’antagonisme que nous ressentons à son égard est bien réel. Il a toujours un coup d’avance et il glisse entre les mailles du filet. Il semble donc intouchable et les maigres preuves que Vaughn détient à son égard seront elles suffisantes pour le faire tomber définitivement?
Ryker Lockhart sera aussi un héros que j’ai adoré retrouver. Il va devoir faire preuve d’un sang froid incroyable dans ce nouveau tome car il devra déjouer des événements qui risquent bien vite de le dépasser. S’il avait la main sur la partie d’échecs lancée dans le 1er tome, ce ne sera plus le cas dans ce tome ci où il va devoir faire face à ses erreurs et aussi parfois se remettre en question. Il va aussi devoir tout mettre en oeuvre pour se racheter aux yeux de notre héroïne après les actes malencontreux qu’il a commis. Il a voulu la protéger mais tout cela s’est non seulement retourné contre elle mais aussi contre lui. Il n’a pas d’amis solide à qui il pourrait parler en toute honnêteté et cela pourrait lui faire du bien . Il va découvrir des sentiments qu’il n’a pas l’habitude d’éprouver et cela va encore plus le perturber. Il va devoir donc naviguer dans des eaux troubles sans avoir le droit au moindre faux pas. J’ai aimé l’intensité qui se dégage de ce personnage car il n’y a que peu de chapitres où nous avons son pont de vue , ce qui renforce ce sentiment qu’il est complètement perdu mais qu’il fera tout pour protéger celle à qui il tient de plus en plus.
Bref, je ne vous en dis pas plus mais je me suis régalée avec cette duologie qui saura nous tenir en haleine jusqu’à la toute dernière page. K Bromberg sait jouer avec nos émotions et elle ne va pas nous ménager avec sa saga Wicked Ways . Si vous lisez en VO, je ne peux que vous encourager à découvrir ces deux romans qui ne vous laisseront pas indifférents et qui sauront vous faire passer un excellent moment de lecture.
This is the 2nd book in the Wicked Ways Duet and I can tell you that Kristy brought us everything in this story. A total knockout contemporary romance with all the feels. 5 amazing STARS for REVEAL.
Reveal is Book 2 in the Wicked Ways series by K. Bromberg. The books must be read in order as this story picks up where Book 1 left off.
This story certainly kept me on my toes. Jam-packed with political intrigue, drama, conflict and some pretty intense heat. It drove me crazy not being able to second guess the author and the ending threw me for an unexpected loop.
This series is the first I’ve read by this author but it won’t be the last. I look forward to reading more.
Twists and turns and surprises, oh my! Don’t miss this finale to the Wicked Ways Duet.
I am such a huge fan of Kristy’s work and the Wicked Ways duet is an absolute must read. I adore her alpha heroes and her strong heroine’s that you can’t help but want as your bestie.
Steamy, sexy and full of twists, turns and suspense, REVEAL will most definitely have you glued to your ereader/paperback/audio book, flipping pages until you reach the epic, amazing conclusion. This is the second book in a duet, and you must read RESIST first in order to fully appreciate this amazing story!
I cannot describe how much I loved this book, Reveal blew my mind. I knew I was going to enjoy it, but I LOVED IT SO MUCH.
This Duet was EVERYTHING, I loved Ryker and Vaughn so much I have reread this duet so many times already. Reveal picks u right where Resist ended, get ready to swoon, cry, laugh, and love every single word on this book.
Ryker is the type of guy who you love, then dislike, and then love so much more. He isn’t used to not getting his way, so his mission is to get Vaughn to listen to him. Vaughn after hearing what she heard, the last thing she wants is to ever see him again. I loved Vaughn so much, she was so strong, amazing, and just fierce. She never gave up, I loved just how much she worked in order to get what she wanted. I just cannot describe how much I loved this duet. Vaughn, Ryker, AND Lucy are everything. K Bromberg just outdid herself, this is a story you do NOT want to miss.
Nothing is hotter and sexier than an alpha book boyfriend fighting for what’s worth it! If you agree, this book is for you! In Reveal, book two of the Wicked Ways Series, you get the unexpected as Ryker and Vaughn continue to have a push and pull that makes it so hard to resist this read as you fall harder and faster for not only the main characters, but with the amazing storyline too!
Author K. Bromberg gives us a sizzling hot read with a touch of suspense, twists and turns that will grab at your emotions and your heart strings, leaving you begging for more!
I can easily say that the Wicked Ways Duet are now my favorite books from Kristy Bromberg. The writing is riveting, exciting, fresh, and captivating. You must read Resist Book #1 prior to starting Reveal as the end all of cliff hangers in Resist is where Reveal begins. How does the Hero of a book redeem himself from an act that is unforgivable? Ryker tries diligently to explain his actions but to Vaughn’s benefit she won’t compromise herself with this betrayal. The layers surrounding Ryker and Vaughn continue to get deeper and more complicated. The angst is so strong. There are characters to really despise in this book. There is a feeling of complete hopelessness for Vaughn when all she wants in the world is to provide the home that Lucy deserves. Frustration and anger is palpable for Ryker that his hands are tied to make things right for Vaughn. This story not only has many twists but also surprises that will shock you. But ultimately Vaughn is amazing and Ryker is everything a swoony, loving man should be. Their connection is deep and becomes truly honest. Their love unconditional and beautiful. The most incredible, unforgettable HEA!!!!
I love when the sequel picks up right were we left off, and Reveal does just that. Vaughn is devastated and disappointed with Ryker. Her rational mind wants nothing to do with him but her heart and body miss him constantly.
Ryker is set out to prove he and Vaughn are meant to be together and wants to help her. Vaughn is spun in so many directions with threats from the Senator, to Brian, Lucy’s dad she sometimes doesn’t know which way is up but is determined to stay the course.
This book had so many twists and turns that you don’t see coming it was amazing. I couldn’t put it down. Trust me when I say, you will not be disappointed. Definitely pick up this stunning conclusion!
Amazing conclusion to the Wicked Ways duet. I especially loved the epilogue in Reveal.
I have always enjoyed novels by this author but this book takes the cake. It will definitely be one that I re-read again and again.
What a crazy, rollercoaster ride this conclusion was!!
Ryker and Vaughn are at a stand still in the beginning of this book when Ryker keeps trying to explain to Vaughn but she won’t listen. He finally gets her to listen and things are a little okay between them. He will stop at nothing to prove to her that he is worthy. Just as things seem to be looking up for them, unexpected twists come out that must be dealt with. This book and series are awesome.
Reveal is such an intriguing as well as a riveting story that will send you on a roller coaster of a ride!
It starts where Resist ended and believe me when I say your heart will beat so fast at what the characters go through!
I really empathize with Vaughn. She is really trying her absolute best for her niece but there are certain people standing in her way!
I swear Ryker and Vaughn don’t deserve anything that they go through and I was so very worried for what the outcome might be!
Ryker is so incredibly swoonworthy!! That man I tell you!!!
An intense, gripping story that sends you on the ride of your life!! To find out what happens, 1 click it, you won’t be sorry!
Highly recommended duet!
This is the second book in the Wicked Ways Duet. Ryker and Vaughn had connected in the first book but then things went wrong. There were so many challenges that they had to fight through that it made you wonder if it was going to work out. This is another amazing book by K. Bromberg that is sweet, but suspenseful and makes you want to root for Ryker and Vaughn to be together. Definitely recommend this book.
„Most people look for love in the sunrise, when they don’t realize for them it can be found in the sunset.”
Resist left me in such suspense that I was shaking from anticipation just thinking about book two in the Wicked Ways series. But K. Bromberg didn’t give me just a conclusion for Vaughn and Ryker’s story… Oh no. She decided to stir even more and thus she brought a book full of tension, unexpected twists and a whole range of feelings.
This book starts where the first one ended, but it’s said from Ryker’s POV. And where Vaughn’s POV made us think about Ryker as the biggest jerk in this world, Reveal quickly explains why he behaved that way. And our outrage quickly turns into admiration. Le sigh! But if you think that a little misunderstanding between our characters is the only thing that needs to be solved, think again. The author put other issues in this story, and let me tell you- the angst is pouring from the pages of this book! All of this was so unexpected that I was literally speechless! There is constant banter between Ryker and Vaughn, but the chemistry and lust is still off the charts! These two could easily set your Kindle on fire.
Reveal is a perfect conclusion to Vaughn and Ryker’s intense story. Filled with many mysteries and lies, it keeps you at the edge of the seat. Many plot twists make you excited. Unrestrained passion makes this book deliciously addicting and Bromberg’s flawless writing is just the cherry on top. Highly recommend!
