The conclusion to One Mile and Brea’s story and it’s everything and more I anticipated it to be. The action and suspense as their story comes to a head keeps you on the edge of your seat and flipping the pages just to see what’s going to happen next. There’s so many loose ends that need to be addressed, meeting her father, exposing the one secret that could rip his world apart, going undercover to eliminate a threat, coming to the rescue when the threat comes knocking on the door, you wonder if they are ever going to be able to find their happiness or if it is all for naught.
This is a fantastic series and I cannot wait for what comes next!
My heart is still pounding after just finishing Wicked Ever After (Ten-Mile and Brea, Part Two) by Shayla Black. Such an exciting adventure! Such a super hot love story! I was thrilled to see Ten-Mile /Pierce and Brea get their Happily Ever After. I know at first Ten-Mile didn’t seem like such a likeable character when Ms. Black first introduced him, too cold and rough, but he sure has shown his true colors in this duet. He loves deeply and forever. Brea Bell starts out as the consummate good girl, preacher’s daughter. Boy has her character developed. I admire her strength, especially with Pierce’s dangerous job and yet she is still the person she grew up as. This new series has started off with a bang and I greatly look forward to Shayla Black’s next story in the series!
Wicked Ever After (One-Mile and Brea) is part two in the Wicked & Devoted Series and is the conclusion of Sniper Pierce “One-Mile” Walker & Brea Bell’s story. You must read Wicked as Sin first.
Pierce has dirtied up “good girl” Brea. She had something to tell Pierce but he gets his say in first and he walks away. Again, there are more misunderstandings but he is out to protect her at all cost and she is unaware.
Wicked Ever After is full intrigue, action & suspense. Pierce keeps things sexy too!
In the Epilogue it ties up some loose ends along with the conclusion to Pierce & Brea’s story. But it also starts off where the next book is going and that makes me a very happy person!
Another great story from Shayla Black!
Another outstanding ending to another great novel by Shayla. Wicked Ever After was just as enticing as Wicked as Sin, the first in this duet.
I felt like I was on a tossy-turn ride with the back and forth of what will happen with Pierce ‘One-Mile’ and Brea. Will they have their chance at ever-after? or won’t they? There were too many stakes at play that lurked in the shadows that throughout this whole book it had me guessing until the end on what truly will happen. (view spoiler)
This ending between One-Mile and Brea was heart-stopping, smack-dab wicked and emotional at times. Could have been 5 Stars for me if it wasn’t so tossy-turn and back-forth. I do love a mind-game of a romance, but I think, in my opinion it was a tad over the line. Would I recommend this duet? Heck yes! It’s a Shayla Black duet… need I say more?!
The best thing to hold onto in life is each other……
After being proven wrong about thinking I would not care for Pierce One-Mile, this second book cemented it. Pierce proved himself more than worthy for his pretty girl Brea. Their journey in this book had me clutching my kindle with the tension and uncertainty of their future together. I just wanted them both to finally be happy together.
Pierce would die for Brea and she would do everything and anything to keep Pierce safe. They both demonstrated that in this book. Brea brought out the caring heart and softness in Pierce that she knew was always there deep down. I love reading stories where a couple everyone feels are not meant to be, showed them they were all wrong.
Pierce “One-Mile” Walker is the ultimate bad boy: foul mouthed, crappy attitude, arrogant, irreverent. You can’t help but love him! Be prepared for exciting, unpredictable, edge of your seat suspense and a love story that knows no bounds. I did not put the book down until I read cover to cover. Then I read it again because it was that good!
5 Star review of Wicked Ever After (Wicked & Devoted #2) by Shayla Black
This is the conclusion to Pierce “One-Mile” Walker and Brea Bell’s story and it was everything I hoped for and so much more. Like the first book, Wicked Ever After has a lot going on and although not a particularly long book, Ms. Black certainly packed a lot into it.
This book was hot, steamy, gripping and suspenseful. In fact there were times that I was on the edge of my seat as the action heated up. Not only was the suspense riveting but at times it was intense and emotional as danger again reared it’s ugly head.
I was fully invested in this story from the first to the last chapter. All in all this was a captivating read with strong writing and characters that you cannot help but relate too,in fact even Cutter grew on me. I cannot wait for the next book in the series as from the final chapter, it sounds intriguing.
5 stars
This is the conclusion to WICKED AS SIN, One-Mile and Brea’s story. They left us with One-Mile telling Brea he killed his father. The former Marine was kidnapped and tortured and now he wants the man responsible. He goes on a mission to put an end to the drug and human trafficker. One-Mile believes he can keep Brea safe by staying away. Brea, the preacher’s daughter, is heartbroken when One-Mile takes a step back. So she plans to wed her best friend, Cutter, who hates One-Mile. Once One-Mile finds out, he’ll do anything to keep Brea and keep her safe.
I know this isn’t much but it was hard for me to tell about this story without giving anything away. So good with action and sex, suspense and angst. I found this story a good way to get away from real life. There is a little bitty cliffhanger that will hopefully be told in the next one. I can’t wait!!!
* Voluntarily read and reviewed this for the author *
Where as the first in the series left us on the edge of our seats, the second installment walks us through a journey that is highly emotional, highly addictive and highly enjoyable. Shayla Black has a way of drawing the readers into the story so well that they feel like they are walking along the same paths as the characters. Each and every chapter brought Brea and One-Mile further apart and then with the turn of the page brought them right back together again. True love knows no bounds – not money, class, religion or background. The once hated One-Mile has been born again into a character with so many layers that the reader cannot help but fall in love with him and Brea is taken from a demure good-girl into a woman who speaks her mind and will not let anything stand in her way. Once again Shayla Black does not disappoint and proves to everyone who picks up her books just how talented and awesome she really is. Another masterpiece that will be read and re-read time and time again.
With high flying emotions and steamy passion, the second half of this duet delivers a wicked ride.
We pick up right where book one left off. Pierce “One-Mile” Walker just confessed a life changing event leaving Brea Bell in turmoil where she only moments before had been living on a cloud of happiness. With no time to talk or even time to come to grips with her feelings she is left in confusion for a man that has stolen her heart and no one to really talk to.
Their so-called relationship up to this point has been in secret. Her best friend, Cutter Bryant, severely dislikes Pierce and her father has never met the man, but would most likely disapprove of how they have been sneaking around given he is a pastor. On top of her confusion Brea is hit with a bombshell while Pierce is away, she discovers she is pregnant, a sin in the eyes of God. She Struggles with her feelings of disappointing her father, her best friend, the small town she resides in, and lastly is Pierce going to be man she needs in the face of everything. All of these things matter greatly to Brea and coming to a solution that doesn’t throw her world into a tailspin, seems almost impossible.
While Pierce is away he comes face to face with the drug lord who held him hostage and beat him within an inch of his life on his last mission. Knowing the drug lord will go after everything One-Mile holds dear, and since he has no family, the only thing close is Brea, he does the only thing he can do, once he returns he sets her free. He hates keeping her at arms length, but it’s for her own protection. However, when Brea announces to the world that she’s marrying Cutter Bryant One-Mile decides he’s done waiting for the drug lord to come to him, he’s taking out the man himself. On one, and he means no one, takes what’s his especially Cutter Bryant.
Wicked Ever After is a roller coaster ride. I loved watching Brea mature with those around her, growing in her self-esteem and strength. It’s very empowering to witness. I also enjoyed how One-Mile softened not only for her, but those around her. They both became their best selves because they had each other. This is what makes a story worth reading.
All I can say is WOW. The conclusion Brea & One – Mile’s story sucked me in and I finished it in a day. I could not put it down. I loved the other side of One- Mile we got to see when he was with Brea and how he brought out the stronger person in her. This story shows us just what lengths he would go to in order to protect what is most important to him. I also love the secondary story that was set up for the next book and cannot wait till Zy’s story comes out.
