I dove into this book right after reading part 1 of Brea and Pierce’s story–such the emotional rollercoaster!–knowing that Ms. Black wouldn’t leave me hanging for more twists, turns, and emotions in part 2. I was definitely not wrong. Things get crazy for the couple in their second half, with them walking a minefield through a lot of dangerous obstacles–most notably, the politics of Brea’s small town peers, and the threat from a mobster with a serious jones for vengeance on Pierce. In the meantime, they’re racing a merciless ticking clock while struggling to let their love grow into a sustaining relationship.
As is the case with all Shayla Black reads, the balance between external and internal conflicts is seamless, sublime, and riveting–and anchored with characters that are well-developed and wonderful. Still loving the cameos from previous stories, and seeing how everyone’s lives are moving along too! Such a rich, romantic, and terrific fictional world to journey into, time and time again.
A wild, wicked, and wonderful ride of a read. I’m addicted to Shayla Black’s colorful characters and sexy as hell stories!
The conclusion to Brea and One Miles story. It was brilliant. We saw so much more of their characters in the second part.
Every page had me routing for them.
Brea grew as a person. With the help of Pierce she learns that she is stronger than she ever thought.
Pierce/One Mile might finally get what he never knew he wanted or needed.
This is a love story that is addictive as well as hot.
This the continuation of Brea and Pierce’s journey to an HEA. Wickedly sexy, suspenseful finale for these two amazing characters!! Brea is floundering in her life as Pierce distance himself from her to protect her from harm and the drug lord who knows she is close to him. However, she has a secret and she turns to her best friend Cutter for help. Can she let Cutter ruin his life for her? Will she step up to the plate , stand up for herself and divulge her secret? Another fabulous 10 star story for Shayla Black! You will be on the edge of your seat, wondering what’s next and who’s the mole????
Pierce and Brea’s story picks up where it left off in the first part of this duet. From there it only got more suspenseful, more breathtaking and more heartbreaking! Every time I hoped that both protagonists could take a breath, fate dealt them another blow that they had to overcome.
Part two is even more gripping and twisted than the first part of this duet.
Wow the conclusion to Brea and One-Mile’s story is amazing. Brea really came into her own in this 2nd half and I really liked her even better. Pierce aka One-Mile is not only bad@ss but loved that we really started seeing deeper into his softer side. Part 2 is hot and steamy and has plenty of suspense. Loved these characters and looking forward to diving into some of the other books.
Yes! The conclusion for Pierce “One Mile” and his sweet, innocent (not so innocent) Brea. As readers we get to see their relationship grow, then twist and hide, then grow – as they both develop feelings they can’t keep from each other or the world. We had snippets of their story in Devoted to Pleasure but we finally get to read it from their POV.
This is an opposites attract story. Sometimes it seems an enemies to lovers, but I think they were never really enemies, just hurt. Highly recommend this duet as we watch Shayla Black begin to spin a whole new series for us to fall in love with!
One-Mile and Brea’s story is so intriguing and hot! And Brea might be the daughter of a preacher, but I love her dirtiness!
So full of twists and turns…couldn’t put it down!
What an amazing story. I highly love Brea and her struggles of living in a small town. The characters are so intense I could not put anything down. I highly recommend this story to others.
I need to say this… SHAYLA I LOVE YOU BUT HATE YOU!!!
Okay, got that off my chest.
If Wicked as Sin tore at your heartstrings Wicked Ever After will finish shredding them!
This story was even more gut wrenching than part one. This book will keep you on the absolute edge of your seat and having you so absorbed with Brea and One Mile you won’t be able to stop reading.
An amazing ending to an amazing duet. Thank you Shayla for giving us Brea and One Mile!
The conclusion to Brea and One-Mile’s story is finally here and I couldn’t be happier with the way things went. This was one heck of a roller-coaster ride but I honestly didn’t want it to end.
They say oil and water don’t mix because they are opposites but man when it comes to One-Mile and Brea that saying doesn’t hold true because these two are complete opposites but they are perfect together, almost as if they were made to fit together like a puzzle piece. One-Mile has made a new standard on the way a man should love a woman, he would do ANYTHING to make her happy. Now I read this book weeks ago but I haven’t been able to write my review until now and as I sit here remembering the things that these two had gone through in the final book of their story it’s bringing tears to my eyes, I kid you not. It was just beautiful the way these two loved one another and didn’t let anyone get in their way – and there were quite a few that tried.
If you have read any of Shayla Black’s books before you know how you can get so lost in her work that you don’t want to leave and this is another one of her amazing stories that you won’t want to end. If you haven’t read any of her work before, YOU NEED TO so grab the first book, Wicked as Sin and dive in.
Happy Reading!!!
Loved this story. I was not happy that it was in 2 parts. I had to purchase 2 books to complete the story.
Shayla Black does not disappoint! This is the conclusion to the One-Mile and Brea saga and it is quite delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed the first book of this duet and this second tome is just as good. Lots of passion, suspense, and a few heart-breaking moments weave a wonderfully wicked story.
There is plenty of drama for Brea and her “medical condition” – but the best part is that she has grown into quite an assertive darling. (She was a little prissy the first time around). Also, it was much more meaningful having read Cutter’s book (Devoted to Pleasure) as these timelines overlap and we are now getting the “other side” of the story from Brea’s perspective. (I didn’t really “like” her in that book – too selfish – but she really wasn’t now was she?) Her father’s perspective was also much better than I thought that it would be – that was quite refreshing.
One-Mile continues with his smitten-ness of Brea without apology – even though she mistakes his initial need for space – for her protection. He gets mixed up with that nasty Mexican cartel again – which keeps you on the edge as to when that guy is going to show up again for his revenge. That wrapped up a little too conveniently, just to pop up yet again at the end.
I just love this couple and I am so happy for their “Wicked ever After” – which does actually happen after all the suspense getting there.
This book consolidates several of Ms. Black’s Devoted and Wicked series storylines and sets up some new adventures going forward. I don’t know how Shayla keeps all of these timelines together – she must have one hell of a whiteboard in her office. I definitely recommend this book – but only after you read the first one – Wicked as Sin.
Part two did not disappoint! I just couldn’t put it down. This book had me at the edge of my seat with each passing chapter. There was no doubt the love these two had for each other. They would do anything for each other. I cannot wait to read more of this series. Love how Shayla incorporates the characters from the Wicked Lovers series and Devoted Lover series! You can’t but love those ALPHA MEN
* This is part of a duo*
The conclusion to this story is a joy to read, suspense, love , action and characters that feels familiar to me. Brea and One-Mile is so different but they both try to adjust a little. I love his dirty talk and her prim and proper outbursts.
The storyline is good and to not spoil anything I’ll just say I’m happy Brea has grown a backbone.
No unnecessary descriptions of surroundings
Good dialogues
Steamy chemistry with intense encounters
Easy to read and I didn’t want to put it down, it’s something about this authors writing that pulls me in to the story. I know I complained on the previous book being a cliffhanger but this conclusion made up for it.
5 stars recommendation
* I was gifted this book in exchange for a honest review *
The conclusion to Pierce/One-Mile and Brea’s story thankfully we didn’t have to wait long. We start book two where we left off with an admisson from One-Mile that shakes Brea’s faith that he is the man for her. There were some things I really liked, Brea’s personal growth the way she finds her voice and finally she stands up for herself made me feel slightly proud. I hated the judgemental way they treated One-Mile and struggled to see the good intentions he had. The danger from book one is still present and so is the suspense and danger which will carry on to the next book.
AMAZING!! I am so in love with this book! The conclusion to Pierce/One-Mile and Brea’s story was everything I wanted it to be – and the best part was we didn’t have to wait too long for it! I was not able to put this book down – I was on the edge of my seat the entire time! I love how this book wrapped up! I CANNOT wait for more from Ms. Black! FIVE STARS!
4 stars
Wicked Ever After is the exciting conclusion to the Wicked Devoted duet. The duet must be read in order.
Thankfully Ms. Black resolves some of my issues with the first book, such as: Brea finally grew lady balls and figured out how to stand up for herself, I no longer hate Cutter with the fire of a 1000 suns, and lastly, Black redeemed the small town for me. I seriously disliked how all small towns were painted as backwards and judgemental and she fixed that for me.
I loved how utterly devoted Pierce was to Brea, it was a pleasure to see this dimension unfold in his character and his love grew Brea up in a big way. Brea was a sheltered, preacher’s kid who fell for the baddest bad boy of them all, the realization of that love truly brought her into her own for me. There’s plenty of suspense and danger along the way for them but it was a delight to see them finally embrace their happily ever after!

Oooh I’m waiting for this one since forever. One-Mile and Brea ‘s relationship getting better and better, love that they’re grown from all the madness and drama, but still find happiness with each other, I just adore these characters. There’s still the angst and drama and actions but with plenty of love, I wished there’s a conclusion to the big mystery that happening in the first book though(I think it will continue to the next series) and there are some parts that kinda dragging for me, this one is more on the sweet side than the previous one, but still it’s entertaining and I enjoyed it nonetheless.
If you love gritty wicked suspense read, I think you’ll love this series too.
Couldn’t wait for part 2 of One-Mile and Brea!! Trust me it did not disappoint!! It was amazing we got to learn more about each of them giving us a better perspective and understanding. We saw Brea go from a young innocent girl to a woman who could stand up for herself and those she loved. We saw One-Mile go from stone cold to melting for Brea. The twists and turns kept the pages turning. I have always loved the books from the author she never disappoints!
This book gave us a ride for sure but well worth every second! I’ve loved the other characters from this series I’ve enjoyed seeing them find their HEA’s. I believe Pierce aka One-Mile stole my heart with this one. Fabulous job and looking forward to more!!
This was a great conclusion. I love these two series are coming together and what a great start to this series with these two characters, one mile and brea. The resurgence of Logan, Joaquin, hunter, jack deke and all the other favorites. I can’t wait for the next installment. I did not want to put this down and the story was so good and believable. Shayla black has gone beyond what I expected and that’s hard since I have not found a book she wrote i Janet loved.
