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.

She did it again. Left us hanging and then boom!!! All the intrigue and mystery of Resist is revealed in Reveal (sorry pun intended) with a little added twist just to keep you on your toes. Vaughn Sanders is my new best friend I didn’t just love her I loved loved loved her!!! Fabulous character development and Ryker wasn’t too shabby either. K. Bromberg weaves her magic and we find ourselves on a journey hoping that love wins the day. The reasons for all the scheming and betrayal become clear. The side characters in this duet are all compelling. From the Senator and his wife to Joey and Ryker’s mother and let’s not forget the adorable Lucy. It’s written in true ‘Bromberg’ style and if anyone can write an arrogant alpha Kristy can. Now about that Senator……
What a great sequel and finale to this fiery duet. It was unputdownable, top best from Kristy and definitely one of my tops for 2019. Such an intriguing plot, so many twists, and turns, so many surprises along the way. All truths were REVEALed and everything wrapped up nicely in this fast-paced whirlwind of a story.
If you think Resist was a rollercoaster of emotions, this one will completely blow your mind and put you through a vortex of feelings. Intense, jaw-dropping, sexy, with lots of layers, REVEALed one minute at a time.
The angst, the passion, the romance, the witty banter were front and center here as well, but there was a touch of suspense and some political games and scandals thrown into the mix to spice up this explosive story. I was pissed one minute, angry the next, then I was biting my nails, repeating NO WAY to the wall, wanting to throw my kindle at said wall, considering strangling Ryker, then Vaugh, then the both of them, then I wanted to kill some characters or downright gauge their eyes out…well, it’s true…The constant racing of my heart and the anxious flipping of pages was telling how much K. Bromberg nailed all emotions to the last detail.
The romance was passionate and steamy. It was fire and sparks one minute and then turned into a sweet, melt-your-heart, swoon-worthy romance the next. I grew so attached to that couple I wish there were more books. They were both “work-in-progress” but aren’t we all? They messed up, they made out, they hated, they loved but they protected fiercely the people they loved and were ready to move hell and earth for them.
The writing was immaculate as usual. I didn’t doubt Kristy’s ability to deliver on the emotional side of this story and we knew there would be some real drama involved with the way things ended in RESIST. But what was really intriguing in this sequel was the complicated subplots, all tangled together with so many lies, secrets, wicked games, and attempts to gain control.
Intriguing, angsty, heart-stopping, pulse-racing, passionate, steamy, sweet and so so emotional. This duet had all the feels and this conclusion wrapped up nicely this exceptional story.

Holy smokes, this was nothing but awesomeness. I am having difficulty finding the right words to describe this duet. Reveal (Wicked Ways #2) by K. Bromberg is BRILLIANT. It is so well written that I just couldn’t put the book down.
The tension while reading this series is real. From page 1 of book 1 to the last page of book 2 you just don’t know what is going to happen. When will the proverbial “other shoe” is going to drop. Who is doing what and when? Not knowing what direction is going to take place.
Just this alone should have you hooked:
“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 know she was full of secrets and surprises.”
Love, Love, Love it!!! Because that just captures everything about this story. Ms. Bromberg has outdone herself this time.
There is just something about Vaughn and Ryker that captures your heart, but breaks it time and time again. It is so well written that the feels just rip your emotions out too. You want to laugh, hate, swoon, cry and then some reading these pages.
As book 2 picks up right where book 1 left off, we are taken on a whirlwind to the finish. I don’t want to even mention the storyline because there is just so much to this one, one little thing could give everything away. Just when you think you got it, you don’t. Around every corner, every page turn there is just more and more till the very end. Well played!!!
Reveal the conclusion of Resist with Ryker and Vaughn. The sunrise that definitely has a sunset. Kristy captivated and developed an amazing story. Showing how love among two people can be strong together. Also showing how if you are determine to fight what you believe in that all and anything is possible.
Wow. After reading Resist, I knew Reveal would be a wild ride, but I think I definitely underestimated how wild it would be. Ryker and Vaughn has a lot of obstacles to overcome, and omg. The twists and turns had me wondering which way was up. It had me sucked in, and was AMAZING!
I definitely recommend grabbing this book!!!
This is Book #2 in the Wicked Ways Series. It picks up where Book #1 left off, leaving us with a jaw-dropping cliff-hanger. You will need to read the first book in order to understand what is happening here. You won’t regret it! It is a fantastic read. Reveal is no different. Reveal takes us on an emotionally charged, intense, heartbreaking, angsty, roller coaster ride of emotions with danger, twists and turns I did not see coming! It is raw and real and I loved every minute of it. I don’t want to say much more because I don’t want to spoil the greatness of this story! Just know that it is a must-read! It does end in a HEA.

Make sure you read Resist first as this is book 2 in the duet and there’s a small overlap at the beginning !
The twists and turns in this duet had me intrigued from the get go and this continued into book 2. I thoroughly enjoyed the differences in writing style from k Bromberg, although not strayed far and there’s style a tonne of romance the suspense element adds another notch and element to the story !
Ryker is a clever and dynamic guy, but my god when he makes a crappy decision it totally hits him and he’s not sure how to come back from it !
Vaughan’s character grows more and I found finding out more about what happened and why she does what she does helped my like for her grow as the story continued !
A great read x

Well that was intense!!!!!
The conclusion to Vaughan & Ryker’s story continues and hits the ground running right from the beginning.
I like how the this duet had us on the edge and the growth of these characters I just loved so so much.
The story it’s self was intense and kept my interest through the duet, I loved getting lost with Vaughan & Ryker through the good and the bad.
Sometimes in life you have to take gambles,
The tables turn on and sometimes not for the good but finding the one who you can the gamble on and hit the jackpot is priceless.
Revealing the truths of life is something that happens at the worst possible time but once out it shows you who’s with you & who you can leave behind!
I absolutely loved Lucy in this shes just so adorable she was a fantastic character.

This was a good conclusion to the duet. I’d rate it 4.5 stars. It was chock full of drama, mysteries, angst, deception, passionate, suspenseful, and redemption to keep me happy. It’s also told in dual POVs (which I LOVE since I get to be inside both h/H’s head). I won’t lie, the first 25% of the story got a bit old quickly. Mainly where Vaughn is concerned. The story picks up where Resist ended, her running out on Ryker after overhearing some upsetting comments. Now, I quickly figured out what was happening and understood where Ryker was coming from. I was even proud of him for trying to help her. But her constant stubbornness and refusal of any and all help was annoying. I get you want to be independent, but man. *sigh*
Vaughn, like I said, annoyed me a good chunk of the story. I did like her independence, her strength, courage, love, and loyalty to those she cared about. She was smart, but sheesh she was stubborn, which I suppose sometimes worked well in her favor. I do understand her reasoning. She felt betrayed by Ryker, but even after he explained many times, she still wanted to end things with him. I was glad when she finally began to forgive Ryker.
Ryker started off as the jerk, but to me, he quickly redeemed himself in my eyes. All he wanted to do was help Vaughn with her problems and care for her. He chased and chased and chased and showed his feelings and that just made me swoon. Sure, he should’ve told her some of the things he was doing behind her back, but I also understand his thinking: ask for forgiveness instead of permission. Especially knowing how difficult Vaughn is where help is involved.
I liked the twists and turns throughout the story as well. There was tons that happened the last 20-30% of the story that had me gritting my teeth. Vaughn sure can have some really crappy days. I’m just thankful she finally let Ryker in.
All in all, this was a good conclusion to the duet and I enjoyed reading their romance. Their chemistry was off-the-charts! Thank you Kristy for this copy. This is my honest review.
There is so much packed into Reveal. Vaughn and Ryker- what a story.
This book- I couldn’t put it down. It has great chemistry, true feelings, twists and turns. Simple love that people fight for. K Bromberg gets it all in one book. I love how the story is developed from Resist.
Ryker is complex and grows so much. Vaughn is so torn throughout the book but knows what is important and fights to get what she wants- Her family. Another incredible duet by k. Bromberg!
Reveal is K. Bromberg at her best! This is book two in the Wicked Ways duet and I have to say, it blew me away. Reveal picks up right where we left off in Resist and I’ve got to say, I fell head over heels in love with Ryker and Vaughn. It’s been a long time since a duet has grabbed my attention with so many twists and turns, the “OMG” moments and sexiness with yet such an amazing love story being told throughout the pages. I love how K. Bromberg tied up every single loose end and delivered it in one perfect package! I highly recommend the Wicked Ways duet!
I couldn’t wait to read the second book. I had to know what happen and what were all the secrets about. Love both books. This book explained more what was going on with Ryker and Vaughn. I love seeing their relationship grow stronger. Yeah, it had its up and downs but what relationship doesn’t. Love reading about theirs though. Vaughn is one strong woman. She tries to not let anybody get to her. Ryker is so protective when it comes to Vaughn and I love seeing that. It shows that he absolutely loves her and would do anything for her. I highly recommend reading this book. I couldn’t put it down. Another great read K. Bromberg.
Ahh it’s finally here! We’ve been waiting for this sequel for what feels like forever and I can tell you it does not disappoint!

After that cliffhanger in Resist, I could not wait a second to read Reveal. As soon as it appeared on my Kindle, I started reading because I wanted to know what would happen to Ryker and especially Vaughn. My goodness, what a roller coaster this was for these two! I was at the edge of my seat at every turn but since this is K. Bromberg we are talking about, I was 100% in and all over it.
Reveal is the second and final installment in the Wicked Ways duet and it follows the sexy and suspenseful story of Ryker Lockhart and Vaughn Sanders. If you read the first book, you know these two do not have a typical love story because they come from two very different worlds. But when they are together every difference dissapears and it was impossible for them not to fall for each other. But not everything is hearts and flowers, not in this duet and for this couple. Especially after what happens at the end of Resist. Will Ryker and Vaughn get their happy ending?
Most people look for love in the sunrise, when they don’t realize for them it can be found in the sunset.
Wow, this is definitely more than what I expected! This is probably the most suspenseful story I have read by this author. Reveal is full of mystery, vengeance and threats but still keeping the mindblowing chemistry and emotion between Ryker and Vaughn. I loved reading how Ryker falls completely in love with this woman and how decided he is to protect and love her. Also I loved how strong Vaughn is as an invidual and how much she loves Ryker and Lucy (her sister’s daughter). Both characters fight hard for what they believe in and love and it is plastered all over these pages.
It’s just him and me together in here.
A world where no one can touch us.
It’s just us.
Two people who can’t seem to stop fighting their way toward each other despite everything trying to hold them back.
Of course, leaving all the dark moments aside, Reveal still is very much a romance. Ryker and Vaughn together are just as explosive (or even more) as they were in the first book. This novel just takes them to the next level, including their feelings growing to a full extent and how difficult is for them to surpass all the obstacles in their path. But they do surpass them and I fully enjoyed reading thier deserved happy ending together with the adorable Lucy.
“You ready to give me your wish and your worry, Sanders?”
Therefore, I am rating Reveal with 5 STARS because it was an absolute delight for me to read it. I am so happy for this couple, especially after going through all those difficulties in their story, they found each other and they have given us an incredible romance journey. Yes, it was a roller coaster and there was many bad people involved, but everything ended well and I am so glad about it. K. Bromberg again excels with her writing and, as always, I can’t wait to see what is next!
This heart stopping conclusion was everything I wanted to be and more. Full of emotion and passion with an edge of the sinister lurking I the shadows, waiting to devour them both. Will she let him in and forgive him for his mistakes, or will she continue to shut him our? Can he get through to her and love them both with all his heart, without fear, before it’s too late? Obstacles to overcome, hoops to be jumped through, enemies and allies alike making it impossible. But that’s what love is, against all odds, coming together with trust and nothing but the truth to guide you through it and hoping to be one of the lucky few that get to experience it, without pretense. Beautiful, emotional and full of the inspiration that comes with the innocence of a child’s love and I throughly enjoyed every minute of this un-putdownable story.
Things are now scorching HOT! This is not only because of the attraction between our main characters, but the complications affecting them are all twisting the plot and heating up the danger.
Finally, it is time for Ryker to stop resisting what is in plain sight. He is in love with V. If he wants to help her, he must get to know her in spite of her resistance. He is willing to do whatever is necessary to protect her.
In the meantime, things could not get more complicated for V. She has a Senator coming after her. Her “illegal” activities are drawing attention from the law, and Social Services is getting wind there are problems that might affect her claim to adopt her niece Lucy. Only one thing is left for V to do. Step up and be smart trying to find a way out of this maze of trouble.
I am voluntarily reviewing this book. Thanks to the publisher for sharing a copy with me.
I can’t even put into words what this story did to me! 5 stars, if I could award this a million I would! Kristy takes you on a wild ride filled with emotions, you will feel each and every one while reading this one! This is book 2 in the series, if you think Resist blew your mind, just wait till you read this one! I could not put it down!
Kristy did an amazing job with this story, I have to say I think this is right up there with her Driven series. Don’t miss out on this when it comes out. I can’t give away anything, just to say that the story of Vaughn & Ryker will take you on a wild roller coaster ride. Grab this when it comes out!
Holy crap that was an intense ride. As with any good chess matches – every player has an idea of what the next move is going to be. However with this series I simply had no idea and the path it took me on left me breathless. Suspense, intrigue, angst, lies, deceptions, half-truths, political cover ups, and bribery and manipulations are interwoven with beautifully written characters and a storyline that had me on the edge of my seat. What I thought was going to happen didn’t and what I never even dreamed of did. K. Bromberg you have created another group of characters that will be loved for a very long time.
The conclusion to the Wicked Ways duet was just as good as I anticipated. This duet is an absolute must read, and is Kristy at her best! Reveal kicks off where the cliffhanger of Resist left us and I was dying to see the aftermath of what went down. This section of the novel gave me the angst between Ryker and Vaughn, allowing both characters to open up. We see the feisty side of Vaughn make a return and a softer side of Ryker that I challenge anyone not to swoon over!
Reveal is a novel full of drama, plot twists and turns but a whole lot of heart too. Ryker, Vaughn and Lucy are characters you root for, characters you want to succeed. Both Hero and heroine are likeable, have depth and are multifaceted; I completely got swept up in the Wicked Ways universe and enjoyed every second of the ride, and what a ride it was. Watch out Colton Donavan there is a new Bromberg man in town and his name is Ryker Lockhart!
This duet is COMPLETE!!
