A very interesting story to say the least.
It’s intense, raw and gives you all the feelings that you’re looking for in a love story that maybe shouldn’t have to happen but the chemistry, the attraction and love has other ways to get what it wants.
Put together two of the most stubborn and strong people and see if they can resist a second without igniting at least a small spark for the great fire.
Heartbreaking situations makes for a change of mind and situations in a very short time and that’s how our heroine builds her business.
A man used to have and get whatever he wants when he wants, it’s more and more interested in that one particular person that won’t play his game.
A lot of twists and turns, good writing and great characters. Yes , a cliffhanger for a big story but let’s see what the next book brings out of these two lovers.

Wow! That was intense! Vaughn “Vee” Sanders is the madam of a classy escort service...well a “companionship service” if you ask her, named Wicked Ways. When she has a issue with a high coverage client she ends up having to fill in for one of her girls. That’s where she meets the devious and ruthless Ryker Lockhart, a high powered divorce attorney, that will change her life forever. The chemistry between these two will have your e- readers on sizzle! They both have secrets that could change everything. Will they be able to overcome them or will they realize building anything on lies never really works? This does end in a major cliffhanger so be ready!! Oh and I loved the cameo from one of our favorite race car drivers! ;) I can’t say too much as I don’t want to give away the plot but this definitely kept my interest and cannot wait for book two. Told in dual POV

ARC received for an honest review

Firstly, I love the purple on the cover - it catches my eye every time I see it.

Wow! This story has bit of everything. A lot of sexy, a bit of suspensish, a little tense and a lotta sexual attention.

Ryker and Vaughn's story (wait, don't be like me and at first as I was reading think this was a M/M story - our lovely lady is Vaughn!) is one of games, of power plays, and of falling.

I loved the push/pull between our lovelies - it is bite and snark and all kinds of phone calls and hanging up and waiting to see who would cave first.

The thing though was that the steam was not really there for me. Sure, there was attraction by the boatload, but the sizzle factor wasn't up there. This is probably a me thing though and nothing to do with the book.

Yes, we were cliffhangered, however as soon as I saw it was part 1 I knew that was going to be so it didn't bother me. The thing that happens at the cliffy I could see happening a mile away, so I was like "guys, come on now you're better than this" - though I am looking forward to seeing how it all plays out in the second book.

She did it again! Kristy’s writing keeps you engaged and wanting more. I love this new start. She has great character development and it really sucks you in to loving her books. I always want more.

La fin de ce tome se termine en cliffhanger. C’est un horrible cliffhanger qui réveille le besoin incontrôlable d’avoir la suite. Si je n’avais pas lu beaucoup de retournements de situations dans ce genre, je serais au bord du gouffre et prête à me rouler par terre pour avoir la suite. Mais, parce qu’il y a un mais, elle reste assez convenue et « classique » pour qu’en fait, non, malgré l’impatience qui me titille, ça va. Ca m’embête de devoir attendre mais ça va. Si je le répète assez de fois, ça ira très bien, non?

En conclusion, K. Bromberg commence cette nouvelle série avec brio et réussit à nous rendre addict, une fois de plus. Je race les héros. Vivement la suite et fin!

Omg... I didn’t know what to expect from this book, but that cliffhanger almost had me throwing my iPad. My heart just about stopped, I couldn’t believe what I was reading. I’m hoping it’s some sort of a set up because I really don’t want to hate Ryker.

This book is sooooooo good! Blackmail, secrets, mistrust, power play. It has a lot of great stuff! Ryker is arrogant and hostile on the outside but caring on the inside. The discovery of his caring side is very surprising when Vee gets to know him better. And even when Vee is in a tough spot having to rub shoulders with questionable characters, she has the biggest honest heart of all. They both have in common a double life. Having to wear a mask for the sake of others and status. Sometimes to the point of hurting the other. And hurt they do. Can't wait to see what comes next and how they fix things.

4.5 'The unexpected' Stars!

I am always in the mood for whatever K. Bromberg writes. The woman and her stories just do it BIG TIME for me and now I can confirm Resist was no exception to that. This definitely has Kristy's style all over it but again she managed to give us another unique love story and outstanding main characters. And let me tell you, Ms. Bromberg I hope you work hard on giving us Reveal soon because I simply can't after that freaking cliffhanger: I need the second book yesterday!!

Resist is Kristy's upcoming release and it's the first installment in her Wicked Ways series / duet. It tells the story between Ryker Lockhart and Vaughn Sanders, two people from very different worlds that crash when they lay eyes on each other. Their start is rocky and difficult, with obstacles along the way but still with a whole lot of chemistry and feelings. Both are not decided to fall in love, they want to focus on their very important aims but, of course, love will be stronger than that.

"A real boss knows she has to get her hands dirty when need be... and I'm all for dirty, Vee."

What a fresh theme on this story! This is not the typical billionaire falling in love with a woman who apparently does not belong in his world, it is so much more. Vaughn is a strong woman, ready for anything and decided to do whatever necessary to get her life back. Ryker is reserved (especially when it comes to relationships) and focused on being the best divorce attorney but he gets in Vee's way when he becomes a client of her business and it becomes extremely difficult not to mix business with pleasure.

This man in particular knows too much about me. He sees me too well. He makes me feel when I don't feel.

There's so many layers to these two characters and I loved slowly pealing them and seeing them vulnerable. Their chemistry is beautiful, explosive and unstoppable and you'll love to see read this couple's journey to love. It's not easy but it never is! But trust me, it's so worth it. Ryker and Vaughn together are just to die for and I can't wait to read more. Again, Kristy give us Reveal soon because I am dying, woman!

Sometimes it's the ones you wait forever for who mean the most.

Therefore, I am rating Resist with 4.5 STARS because I simply adored this couple and their fascinating love story. I was not ready for that ending though and I cannot wait to read the next book to see what happens next between Ryker and Vaughn. I am sure it will be emotional but oh-so-amazing because K. Bromberg is one heck of a talented author. Guys, be sure to check this book when it releases in two weeks!

GAH! THAT ENDING?!

I love Bromberg's writing, I have devoured everything she has ever written and I have never been disappointed.

Resist is full of layers and deep secrets. Intense and unexpected.

Vaughn knows she should resist Ryker when she meets him, he doesn't fit into her plans, and honestly she doesn't fit into his in the long run. But could they resist each other? Nope, not even slightly.

That cliff-hanger pretty much ripped me in two!

Well written, intense, emotional and complex - another 5 star read from this author!

Eagerly and impatiently waiting book 2!

**4.5 Stars**

I went into Resist completely blind. I was immediately pulled into the premise of the story. There are a lot of pieces and players and lots of drama which keeps the book interesting and kept me invested as a reader.

The author kept me constantly guessing at what was going to happen and where the story was going to be leading. I had differing opinions on the main characters, Vaughn and Ryker, at different points throughout the book as varying degrees of information was brought to light, but they definitely had great chemistry together.

I did not know this book was going to end in a cliffhanger so that was a bit disappointing, but it didn't take away from my overall thoughts or experience reading the book and I am interested to see what happens next with these characters and with this story line. Definitely an engaging and interesting read!!!!

I'm such a huge fan of K. I love her books so much and I'm so glad I got to read this early. The writing was great and I enjoyed the characters. It does end on a cliffhanger. I can't wait to read the next book.

Thank you Netgalley, the author and publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

What a story K. Bromberg has weaved with Resist.! The story was well written, fast paced and characters well developed. There was a lot of chemistry, heart felt moments, intrigue and heartbreak. And that ending, when does book 2 release?
Ryker and Vaughn have an unbelievable pull towards each other and their chemistry is undeniable. What starts out as a business relationship turns out to be so much more or is it?
As the story progresses, Bromberg really develops the characters, their relationship and past issues. There is so much depth to them and the story. Vaughn’s past will make you feel in your heart, and for everything she has been through and is dealing with. You see her strengths and weaknesses but feel her growth as the story grows.
I can’t wait for book 2 of this duet, Wicked Ways. I highly recommend this book. One click it today!

I feel like I’ve read this story before...boy meets girl, girl has lingering issues, they fall in love. The cliffhanger seems pretty obvious to me, but I’ll defer to everyone else to read it and decide for themselves.

I haven't read any of K Bromberg's work but will certainly be searching out more

This is fast paced, steamy and intense - who doesn't love an Alpha story ?

A great, strong female pitted against alpha male - makes for a great premise

A great story with a great ending

Loved it !!

Ryker and Vaughn- what a story. I love their chemistry and connection. What a cliffhanger..... K. Bromberg has created more amazing characters. I love Vaughn's complexity and how she is in the situation she is in and what she believes is important in life. Ryker- he is complex but really amazing. I was so drawn to their story. I cannot wait the next book to see where these characters go. I could not put this book down.

The beginning of this book drew me in. The book is interesting, steamy, has great moments and the ending is leaving me wanting more. This is definitely a great book that will keep you focused on it from the time you start till the time your finished. If your like me, I’m still thinking about it.

I'm a huge fan of Kristy's work and have been for years now. This story was intense, sexy, unique, angsty, and heartbreaking. I liked that we had two alpha leads pitted against each other. It was nice to see them banter, make power plays, and watch their chemistry build and explode. I also liked that this was told in dual POVs since I always love being inside both h/H's head.

Vaughn was interesting. I didn't expect her to be what she was (not revealing it to keep from spoiling anything), yet I was impressed. She was smart, strong, brave, caring, loving, feisty, strong willed, and independent. While at times I felt she resisted a bit too much, I still enjoyed the story.

Ryker is a typical alpha a-hole...at first. He's bossy, demanding, sexy, determined, compassionate, and I really liked seeing his softer side.

While I have my assumptions about why the story ended as it did, I will state that it ends on a cliffy and I have a love/hate relationship with cliffys. LOL All in all, I can't wait for the next book, Reveal, to be released to see if my assumptions are correct! Thank you Kristy for this copy. This is my honest review.

a very well-written hot story by K. Bromberg. First I"ve read by this author but so worth it> I really liked how the story progressed and the writing style.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Beyond amazing I enjoyed this book so very much. The characters and storyline were fantastic. The ending I did not see coming Could not put down nor did I want to.

I cannot express how much I love Bromberg's writing. She has such a talent of making the reader feel connected with her characters. This was a sexy, intense, emotional read. I will say this book took me a little longer to get into than most of her books, BUT when it finally got going i could not put it down. I was stealing 1 page reads every chance I got while at work. Ryker was arrogant, sexy, protective, AND good with kids (SWOON). Vaughn is a strong, independent, woman who has been through a lot, and ryker is there to break down her walls.

In typical K. Bromberg fashion, Resist ended in a cliffhanger and I cannot wait for part two to come out!
