I am grateful that Shayla Black quickly released the second book in the Brea and Pierce “One-Mile” duet, Wicked Ever After. I needed the end of their story quickly. Brea Bell is the town’s good girl. Her father is a preacher. He raised Brea to follow the rules and she did. Her commitment to help her father, and serve his church is important to Brea. Pierce is the exact opposite. He has the bad boy reputation and does not follow any rules.

Wicked Ever After brings the readers right back to where Wicked AS Sin ended. One-Mile is on a mission. Brea doesn’t know when he will be back or even if he will survive to come back. All she knows is that she loves him. They both have secrets that have the potential to end their relationship before it really gets off the ground. Pierce has a past. There is a good chance that he won’t measure up to Brea’s dad’s expectations. Can she pick only one? Moreover, Brea is afraid that her small hometown will not take kindly to the new Brea after One-Mile.

I truly enjoyed this book. My heart went through all the ups and downs I expect of a Shayla Black story. I was smiling one minute then yelling at my Kindle the next. There is non-stop action to keep the pages turning, with the characters changing developing into beautiful adults who want to make a life together. One of my favorite scenes in this story is when Pierce meets Preacher Bell the first time. Their meeting is a little tense and perfect.

This duet features many of the characters that I love from previous series, Wicked Lovers (my introduction to Shayla’s writing) and Wicked and Devoted. The teaser at the end has me jumping for joy, because another character I love is returning from Wicked Lovers. I cannot wait. I highly recommend this duet (the books are not standalones) to anyone who loves a tense romance with hot and sexy times.
