Cheese and rice.
This book has put me through the notions or what.
So many ups and downs i didn't know which way to look and what to feel, anger was a good portion but then you have the 'aww' moments and the steam. It was the perfect mix.
I don't know what it is about K Bromberg but when she writes a character your supposed to hate she does it exceptionally well like I've never felt so much hate and anger towards the bad characters as i do when it comes to her books. 
When i first finished Resist a few weeks ago i thought the wait would kill me not knowing what's going on with these characters and i did but it also gave me that time away to think about these characters more and more.
I forgot just how much i loved the characters until i picked this book back up, like you have high thoughts and expectations of them but then you read more of them or go back to them and realise the thoughts you had before was nothing compared to what you feel when you have them back in your hands and your reading them again.

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.

I loved this conclusion to Ryker & Vaughn's story. Plenty of emotions, action, mistakes and more. They certainly didn't make it easy to reach their HEA. There were times that I wanted to shake them both. The chemistry in this one was seriously hot & I loved the way the story twisted and turned right to the very end. Definitely recommend.

I received this book from Netgalley for an honest review and boy am I a happy girl!

Book one left me hanging and I just had to know how things progressed.  
Vaughn and Ryker were the push and pull, the angst, the love, the protection!
Loved the many twist and turns. I wanted to strangle Carter, wanted to scoop Lucy up, wanted to just stop Vaughn’s nightmares.  

I really enjoyed the writing and story line and I hate that people compare all Kristy’s new work to Driven.  Authors grow, they write to fulfill their dreams and use their imaginations to write something new for us to enjoy.  Kristy has never let me down with her words and I will buy the audible book when it releases!

Complex characters and pulse-pounding chemistry make Reveal by Author K Bromberg one of my all time favorite reads!

The hot, romantic tension and sexy back and forth will have you fanning yourself as you flip the pages and devour this multi layered adventure in reading. You can always trust this author to deliver a skillfully written, sublime read!

In the final book in the duet, Ryker has a lot of explaining to do with Vaughn and it's an uphill battle from start to finish. Vaughn is still trying to figure out what to do about Carter who is now determined more then ever to take her out. 

There are times when I got frustrated with Vaughn because she kept going back and forth on whether or not she is going to trust Ryker. Though he did some shady things to warrant not being forgiven, it was just more of the back and forth on her own decision. She said she did but then over the slightest thing go back to hating him. 

i did enjoy the suspense part of the story. There is a lot of build up between Carter and Vaughn. Then at the end we get not only one but two big surprises. It felt like a movie unfolding and once we got to the climax, you won't be able to put the story down.

Wicked Ways is definitely one of the top duets that I have read this year!  Vaughn & Ryker’s story is a must read! 

These beautifully complex characters of Vaughn & Ryker consumed me from the first page to the last! Vaughn & Ryker’s journey was in no way an easy one, but was worth it in the end.   I had learned while reading to expect the unexpected.  I don’t want to spoil the story in anyway so read and be ready to fall in love with these characters! 

I can’t wait for more by K. Bromberg! 

I voluntarily reviewed this book.

Reveal is the conclusion of Vaughn and Ryker's story and I think K. Bromberg did a great job with this duet with fantastic writing and a compelling and compelling storyline.

The story begins from where the other book left off and without wanting to go into detail I can only say that it was good to have Ryker's point of view to understand what was going through his mind at that time.This book has more drama, more mysteries, and events than the first. I think while the first book served to show the characters and kick-start the story, it was here that the "action" really happened.

What can I say about the characters? Vaughn pissed me off at times in this book, there were times when I wanted to tell her to stop being so stubborn and accept help, even understanding her motives. And Ryker, is that character who was a jerk at the beginning of the book and made things harder for the heroine, but in my view has been redeemed throughout the book.Together they had a fantastic chemistry and even their relationship going on "fast" K. Bromberg did a great job of making their romance believable and captivating. I loved them together and every page hoped they would finally have their happy ending.

Although I think in the end everything was explained and the story made a full circle I found the ending a bit run and wish I had seen more.

Reveal brings a satisfying ending to this duet by creating a deliciously intriguing and totally addictive storyline.

4.5 Stars!!  Reveal is the perfect title for the conclusion of this duet.  So many things are revealed you’re gonna be on freaking overload from shock.  Holy crap!

Reveal kicks off right where we left off in Resist.  That cliffhanger had my heart dropping and I was a bag of mixed emotions.  Vaughn just had her heart ripped out and Ryker was a major DBag.  All those thoughts were swirling, but I knew there had too be more to the story.  I prayed that Kristy would set the record straight with these two and we get our HEA.  Well, we get something alright.  Holy cow I am still reeling days after reading this from how everything took a turn into a suspenseful, spellbinding story of secrets, lies, sex and surprises!

I am not going to go into too much for fear of spoilers, but I will say you thought you knew things, you don’t.  You thought you had the characters figured out, you don’t.  You thought that Vaughn was stubborn before you haven’t seen anything yet.  You thought Ryker was a jerk, well he is but he is trying to redeem himself.  The chemistry between them is still there, but this one has a bit more emotional baggage this the first part of the duet.  We begin too see the reason behind why they are they way the are.  We see the growth and development of them by themselves and together.  

Kristy did a fantastic job with this duet.  Told from dual POV’s, the characters intensity at times will suck you.  I highly recommend this twisted tale that will keep you on edge.  Yes people Kristy packs a punch with this duet!  Freaking fantastic!  

ARC received for honest review

Reveal is book two in the Wicked Ways duet and it picks up where Resist leaves off, with Vaughn feeling used and lied to by Ryker after overhearing Ryker and Carter's conversation. 

While Resist was a little more lighthearted, I felt like Reveal was heavy on the drama and plot twists, which at times, made the book somewhat hard to follow.
Overall, I did enjoy this book. But, I think the drama could have been taken down a few levels.

In this conclusion to Bromberg's "Resist", Vaughn (Vee) is struggling to handle the influential client, a senator, who is determined to take her down any way he can including rape. She has some dirt on him but he is not without resources himself. Ryker, Vee's boyfriend, is trying to help her but things are so complicated that he makes a huge mistake instead. Vee and Ryker struggle to keep the past in the past and to have a future together. It seems like the whole world is trying to take Vee down but she's got a plan to fix it all with the help of the FBI. Satisfying conclusion to an enjoyable romance.

Goodness, what a wild ride this book was! Kristy left us on a doozy of a cliffhanger at the end of Resist, and not gonna lie, my mind was racing with what the hell was really going on and how was Ryker going to get himself out of the mess he landed in.

I am SO happy that Kristy starts Reveal out in Ryker's point of view. I mean yes, he has a reputation as being a world class prick and a take no prisoners lawyer to get what he needs for his clients, but I thought he had been turning a huge corner with Vaughn, only to act the way he did at the very end of book 1. He had some serious making up to do with Vaughn, and bless her, she made him WORK FOR IT! 

Poor Vaughn, everything and the kitchen sink gets thrown at her in this book! I was getting stressed out and having stomach aches over the things she had to deal with! But Kristy illustrates perfectly what a fighter Vaughn is, how much strength and perseverance she had to weather all the storms thrown at her. 

Some whacked out things happened this go around, worse than in the first book, but we finally get all the answers to everything we were left hanging with from the beginning. And Ryker and Vaughn together? An unstoppable team! 

Kristy certainly wove a twisted, turning tale and I tried to figure out what all was going to happen but ultimately I just gave up and held on for the ride! Vaughn and Ryker both did a lot of soul searching and figured out exactly was the most important to them, and I absolutely loved them together. And Lucy Loo, of course!! 

The ending put the biggest smile on my face, and I hate that this is the end of the story. I hope these characters continue to pop up as cameos in future stories from Kristy, I don't want to say goodbye!

Reveal is such an intriguing as well as a riveting story that will send you on a roller coaster of a ride! 
It starts where Resist ended and believe me when I say your heart will beat so fast at what the characters go through!
I really empathize with Vaughn. She is really trying her absolute best for her niece but there are certain people standing in her way! 
I swear Ryker and Vaughn don’t deserve anything that they go through and I was so very worried for what the outcome might be!
Ryker is so incredibly swoonworthy!! That man I tell you!!! 
An intense, gripping story that sends you on the ride of your life!! To find out what happens, 1 click it, you won't be sorry! 
Highly recommended duet!

Oh, sweet baby Jesus!  This was everything I wanted and nothing I was expecting!

Vaughn and Ryker’s story picks up where it heartbreakingly broke off in book one.  Ryker has messed up royally, as in there is no going back after his actions.  We get his point of view and we understand the why, but you know, sometimes that just doesn’t justify a person’s actions.  And Vaughn does not yield to his explanations and pleas for forgiveness.  If you like groveling, the first forty percent of this book is filled with the angst of this couple trying to deal with his betrayal and how that affects Vaughn, not just emotionally, but in a way that opens the door to danger.

I loved watching Vaughn and Ryker evolve from two individuals with their issues regarding love and happy ever afters, to a place that was real, one where they had to make the emotional choices of what to give in to and what to fight.  But even when they know how they feel and what they want, this isn’t a fairytale where everything automatically works out for them.  They are human and flawed and they make decisions that can adversely affect their relationship.  And while their troubles are more than what the “normal” couple would experience, the manner in which they dealt with them felt very realistic.  

There are many layers to this story, beginning in Resist and continuing throughout Reveal.  With the level of emotion written here I wasn’t expecting more but holy heck did I get it!  Several times over!  When engaged in a story I often can read it in one sitting, but the angst here was so painful at times, I had to take a step back for a breather.  

I loved everything about this book.  Vaugh and Ryker as well as Lucy and the swoon worthy moments when Ryker was interacting with her, are all characters and images I’ll hold for a long while.  And as if all the previous emotions we’re given throughout the story weren’t enough, we get an epilogue that had tears welling in my eyes and my throat clogged from holding back a happy sob.  Nothing makes an angsty read more worthwhile than this type of ending.  

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book provided by NetGalley and Montlake Romance. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Reveal is book two in the Wicked Ways duet and it picks up where Resist leaves off, with Vaughn feeling used and lied to by Ryker after overhearing Ryker and Carter's conversation. Reveal was insanely heavy on the drama and plot twists, which at times, made the book somewhat hard to follow, and at times I felt like it was a bit much and maybe took away from the enjoyment of the book.

I did really enjoy Vaughn and Ryker as characters and enjoyed the uniqueness of the story line. I loved Vaughn's relationship with Lucy and how Ryker stepped right in to visiting with her and how he understood her importance in Vaughn's life. The writing in the book was well done and overall the story was engaging. My one critique is that maybe the author tried to do just a bit too much with the story and there was too much going on at times, but overall it was an enjoyable read.

Vaughn and Ryker are back to wrap up a story line steeped with, what seems to be, unremitting angst and drama. My heart was in my throat the entire way through. I loved the characters, they played great off of one another and the plot arc was carried over successfully from book to book. However, this book seemed to carry an excessive amount of misfortune that made it a bit arduous to get through. While not my favorite, it was still a great wrap up to the series.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

This duet blew me away for sure! I can't deal with how great it was! this author is the queen of writing the wow factor to blow your socks off in a matter of seconds!

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!

Ryker and Vaughn UTTERLY CONSUMED my life. A sleepless night after the ending of Resist and then I was restless the whole time I read Reveal.   O. M. G.   Their intense story line was an incredible rollercoaster ride of suspense and emotion as well as a combo of heat filled tension and passion from ebb and flows of Ryker and Vaughn’s relationship.   It took me quite some time to come down from the incredible high I got from this book. I needed long moments to decompress. I mean, for two days straight Vaughn and Ryker were all I could think about. Their chemistry was just as intense as it was in RESIST. That stubborn streak of Vaughn’s never wavered. And Ryker’s persistence never waned. Even when they had secrets and surprises jumping out of every closet to keep them apart. They may have weakened for a slight moment in time, but what they shared was incredibly real and they joined forces to get through it all and come out on top.   The suspense build up from RESIST definitely gave me the full blown effect here. My stomach was in knots, my nerves were shot... but when they came out the other side??? My heart was beyond happy and content. What an INCREDIBLE story from K Bromberg!!!

Yes!! This duet is so freaking good I can't get enough of it. I was bummed to have to wait for this book after the first one but it was so worth the wait. This duet is by far one of my favorites and K never seems to disappoint. Love these characters and their chemistry so much. Amazing.

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