WOW!!! That was amazing!! I wish that it didn't end on a cliff hanger BUT I will definitely be getting the second book! You definitely will love this book!!

Vaughn is a woman who is trying to get custody of her neice but first she has to settle some debt at any cost!

Ryker is a lawyer who doesn't believe in love until he meets Vaughn!

Oh this book! It’s my first by K. Bromberg and she got me, got me good. Through out this whole book I felt disconnect to both characters and couldn’t get into it fully. However about 60% it sucked me in and I was invested and then the ending made me so mad!!! Ugly cliff hanger!!! I hate them so much you try to turn the page for more and nope sorry not happening !!!!!!

Let me tell you I’ll be grabbing the next one. I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review

Wow, K Bromberg does it again. This book is magic . It started off slow and I found my self having a little trouble getting into it , so I waited read something else and then began it again, and let me say I’m so very glad I did. It was intense and let me say , oh holy cliffhanger . You are going to love this story , i can't wait for book 2. I highly recommend this book and this series.

What started off as an slow read, ended with me not being able to put it down. The story builds at a great pace. I’m looking forward to reading how it all comes together in the next book.

Well this was a sexy,intense and emotional read, I enjoyed most of it!The beginning was intresting and I was intrigued!

Vaughn and Ryker have a unique connection.I liked the relationship between these two!They were passionate,flirty and sensual.

The romance is addictive in this story and the ending make me crave for more!I really can't wait to see what will happen next.Resist has a little bit of everything,tension, angst,hot moments and a sexy hero!

There’s a cliffhanger!!! While I knew this was book 1 of a series, I stupidly assumed each book would be intertwined but a standalone. Dumb. Anyway, good read. As always, Bromberg’s characters are interesting and developed and the plot moves along and doesn’t get dull. My only complaint is the cover: it’ll turn off anybody who isn’t a romance reader. Those won’t even think twice when deciding to read it which is too bad as it’s so much more than the cover. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. Can’t wait for book 2! 3.5/5 stars

I really enjoyed this unique story, and I pretty much love Ryker. I believe he is more than he seems, and is playing his cards close. V deserves him at his best, and I have faith that she'll get exactly that in the next book!
*this is the first book in a duet*

I wasn’t aware that this was going to be a Duet/Trilogy when I picked this book up. So readers make sure you understand this story doesn’t wrap up with this book and we are in CLIFFHANGER CITY!!

Without giving too much away, this story follows two strong characters who are both living double lives. I love the secret life troupe so this was right up my alley. I really liked Vaughn as a heroine. I love when characters do whatever it takes for the people they love. Her devotion and love to Lucy was wonderful. Plus I just find being the Madam of an escort service to be a kind of bad ass book profession. There was a lot of push and pull between her and Ryker and at times I wanted to shake them both. But overall the writing and the story was really well done and I’m very curious to see what happens next.

Kristy Bromberg has left me with the biggest book hangover this weekend. I love reading her stories and was excited to start this new Wicked Ways series. Resist was such an emotional and heartbreaking romance that left me feeling so many different ways. This put was unputdownable.

Within the first chapter, I was hooked. I was transported to the world of Vaughn and Ryker. These were some dynamic characters. I always enjoy reading Kristy's stories because the characters have a backstory that has affected who they are all while leaving room to learn and grow.

Vaughn, also known as Vee, is a tough woman. She has been through hell and back and is still making the best out of her situation. She runs an escort business and works other jobs just to help take care of her niece and pay off debts. I don't want to reveal too much about her past, but I don't know how she can still push through on most days. Many would have given up and been fine and settling for what position they are in. She is persistent and will do whatever it takes to take care of the ones she loves.

Ryker is a high profile divorce attorney who doesn't do relationships. He is sexy, dominant, and always gets what he wants. He seeks out Vaughn's business and is set up with a woman who has gone through all the screenings necessary to fulfill the role as his "companion". When plans change, Vaughn is faced with a decision. This is the point at which she has to decide how far she will go to protect/take care of the ones she loves.

Vaughn decides to be his companion but no sex will be involved. Their chemistry is through the roof, but both have a tough time letting their guards down.

I love how much of a difference I saw in the characters over time. I was in awe of Kristy's writing. She has the exceptional talent of being able to get you hooked and invested in the characters. So, when I learned about what Vaughn has been through it broke me. I understood why she is focused on her business life yet so closed off in her personal life. With Ryker, he has demons to deal with as well. He has been burned by women before and doesn't believe he has the capacity to open his heart again.

I was blown away by the book and I want more. That cliffhanger left me SPEECHLESS.

I give Resist 5 stars. It was a romance that was dynamic and compelling. It took a look at how our past affects our present. It brought up the question of "how far would we go to save those we love?" and Kristy showed us just how committed these characters can be. I am a little nervous and thrilled to see how the story will turn out in the end, but I ready to take this journey.

Angst, suspense, sex, lies, danger. THIS BOOK HAS IT ALL!!!

I don’t even know where to begin, Kristy took this book to a whole other level, I’m blown away. What a jaw dropper, I don’t know what I was expecting but this book was everything I didn’t know I wanted.
The storyline, the characters, the writing, all of it phenomenal. THE PLOT! GENIUS!
Strong females, arrogant males, trouble all around. I was hooked from the beginning. It’s addicting and full of surprising twists. And that CLIFFHANGER OMGAHHHHH! I’m dying for the next book and this ones not even out yet. Don’t let the cliffy stop you. READ THIS BOOK! I promise you will be glad you did. WHAT A FREAKING FANTASTIC BOOK.

I have loved K. Bromberg since I read her first book!! I did love Resist, however I wish someone would have told me that this book is a major cliffhanger! I typically hold off reading books with cliffhangers until more of the series is out, so I can remember the story!

Resist is the kind of book you want to stay up late and binge read! I can't wait to read the 2nd book in the story!

Apart from the whole cliffhanger thing, I really loved this book. Wonderful writing, a gripping story, and two main characters that grapple at your heart. Divorce attorney, Ryder Lockhart (I’ve got a thing for sexy, macho male lead names, and this one takes the biscuit), he’s all man, and the fact that he only represents men in divorces and not women let’s you know he’s also a bit of an a-hole. There’s a history there yada yada. Deciding on an escort service to manage his unlove life, he accidentally comes across Vaughn, who owns the escort agency, and never ever meets clients, only to intervene on occasion if they get handsy with her girls. She’s in it for the money, and the money alone. Herein develops a tumultuous relationship that had me addicted and in awe of the author. Sadly I’ve got to wait to see how their possible relationship will turn out, I have a couple of theories, all of which I’m keeping to myself. Book two can’t come fast enough. I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. This is my honest review.

Addictive. Sexy. Sweet. Thrilling. And I'm not just describing Ryker.

This book was FANTASTIC. I'm ready for the next in the series. I need it like....yesterday. Heart poundingly good. I'm big fan of K Brombergs work. She did such a wonderful job writing this one. Its mysterious, sexy, funny. Loved it so much!

I'm finding it difficult to decide how I feel about this book. At first I didn't like Vaughn. I couldn't wrap my head around why she chose the profession she did. But, somehow, Bromberg drew me in and made me care about the characters. I'm also not a fan of books that leave you hanging for the end of the story. Despite these 'cons' the writing, the relationship between Vaughn and Lucy, and my need to know the outcome of the story have me hooked.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Sweet Jesus! That ending! I don’t think I can wait very long for the next part!
Ok so it took me a little while to get invested but then everything just had me hooked. I actually feel a little bit heart broken myself after that. Really liked the characters. Would love to see more of archer and a whole lot less of Carter. Bring in part 2! Like now please!

As a big fan of the Driven series, I'm excited to read this new series from Bromberg.

Vaughn is trying to run an escort service while working as a waitress in a club to earn enough money to pay her debts. She has medical bills left over from helping her sister with rehab before her sister's suicide. She is also trying to become the guardian of her young niece with Down's Syndrome, Lucy.

Ryker knew that his date with a last minute escort is unusual but he didn't realize it would change his life. The long time divorce lawyer became jaded representing many wealthy, cheating husbands.

After meeting Lucy with Vaughn one day, the couple realizes they can't stop thinking about each other.

Bromberg excels at slow build and potent chemistry. Vaughn and Lucy are especially vivid and it's fun to see Ryker's character arc as he falls in love. Readers will be looking forward to the next one in this series!

It was also fun to see a cameo from Driven's Colton!

“Appreciate the Unexpected” - I didn’t expect that this would end as a CLIFFHANGER!
I couldn’t put this book down! Well written. Great read - hold on to your seats.
Ryker and Vaughn are HOT, irresistible couple displaying vulnerabilities in the quest for power. A story empowerment, of memories and fulfillment of needs until it just isn’t what it seems or is it? A toying of ones emotions - well crafted, skillfully done Bromberg. You don’t really know or do you ? You question your beliefs while relying on your instincts.

First off, K. Bromberg is a huge favorite author of mine. Been reading her books and actually have read every single one, so far.

Vaughn is a BADASS woman!! From the very first pages, you’ll see why. I instantly fell in love with her character. After taking care of a little problem, Vaughn finds herself in the company of the handsome Ryker Lockhart.

Interesting choice of career for Vee (can’t say, I don’t do spoilers) but a brave one at that. But Vee has a goal, a plan…soon she will be able to hop that fence over to the green side.

Vaughn is a woman who wants to do the right thing, knows how to hustle to get though life but is still a woman… with feelings even if she hides behind that facade. Her childhood was beautiful, until she lost her mother, it all spiraled from there with well i can’t say but a lot. Be prepared to be surprised by Vaughn on every turn.

Now Ryker, is a peculiar creature. A successful high rise divorce attorney that not only has the money but power. Big names, big clients and always men only clients. His issues run deep and something that may not have been as dramatically as Vee’s but not less influential. I have to say that he is the ultimate-bookhusband because your pants will be swooned off. As arrogant and blunt he is, he is still alpha, in control yet reasons with Vaughn over the power.

Power struggle? Absolutely! But when Vaughn let’s her guard down even for a second, gosh it is beautiful. Secret’s are revealed, a sweet moment of unicorn scenes (will melt your heart) and danger. If you’ve read Bromberg before you know her style, so this is exactly what I would want from one of her books & more. I can’t really say much to be honest, it would be a huge shame to spoiler alert this because it’s worth a full focus read!! You’ll be hooked, I couldn’t stop and kept reading faster then slowing down because I didn’t want it to end. The ending, I kind of want to say I was expecting it but I did not expect how it happened. Shame on your Ryker!! I’m going to say this once and then deny it if anyone else asks me again but….I think i loved this book even more than DRIVEN *goes to hide under desk so lightning doesn’t strike me* phew, nothing yet! That said, this is huge and I am very much looking forward to BOOK #2!

p.s. Now, don’t get me wrong I know there were cover reveals of TWO books (hell I even took a photo just for it) but my stupid-head didn’t comprehend until i realized this is a CLIFFHANGER! *sigh*

This is book one in the Wicked Ways series. This is Ryker and Vaughn book , Ryker is a high powered attorney he’s also Rich, handsome, and definitely intriguing! Vaughn Definitely made a big mistake in meeting Riker, he thinks his blackmail will bend her to his will but he is oh so wrong! Vaughn May have done a few sketchy things in her life that weren’t exactly legal but she has her own reasons for all that! She’s not about to let some high-powered divorce attorney have her body and rule her heart not to mention ruin everything that she’s carefully built! This book was an OK read I usually like this authors books and this one like I said it was OK it just was not my favorite I just couldn’t get into it for some reason I’m sure there’s a lot of people that will like it because it was a decent read it just didn’t keep my attention. Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!

Well K. Bromberg has done it again. Shes pulled me into a book where I feel everything just as much as the characters. Driven has always been my favorite series ever by any author. None has ever compared but I didnt how much this story had sucked me in until I reached the end and had a wtf moment. I am so sad its over because now I have a long wait for book two. This series has the potential to be just as big as Driven was. I loved both Ryker and Vaughn. Ryker was the spoiled, rich guy who we all love to hate but definitely want. Vaughn hasnt had the easiest life but she is determined to make her life matter by fighting for what matters most to her. So Ryker was unexpected. The emotions I felt with every being. The ending I should have seen it coming because it is only book one but I still was caught off guard. And I cant wait to see how book two picks up all the broken pieces of my heart.
