The Wicked Aftermath: Tank Wicked

The Wickeds: Dark Knights at Bayside, Book 2

By: Melissa Foster

Narrated by: Jennifer Mack, Aiden Snow

THE WICKED AFTERMATH is an emotionally gripping story of love, loss, and hope, with a rich and entrancing happily ever after. All Wicked novels may be enjoyed as standalone romances.

When the person you blame for your grief is the only one who can save you from the pain...

Tank Wicked lost his sister and has since vowed to save everyone else in his path. He lives by the creed of the Dark Knights motorcycle club, sworn to protect and respect his community. He selflessly saves lives as a volunteer firefighter and treats the men and women who work for him at his tattoo shop like family. But life isn’t a balance scale where good deeds negate bad things to come, and one foggy night life guts Tank once again. When a car careens over the side of a bridge and into a river, Tank springs into action, plunging into the water to rescue the passengers. Four people go into the river, but only three come out alive.

Leah Yates is just trying to make it through each day. When the man she blames for her grief becomes the only one who can pull her from the depths of despair, she discovers that even hope comes at a price. Maybe this time she won't have to face it alone.

****

Set on the sandy shores of Cape Cod, the Wickeds feature fiercely protective heroes, strong heroines, and unbreakable family bonds. If you think bikers are all the same, you haven't met the Dark Knights. The Dark Knights are a motorcycle club, not a gang. Their members stick together like family and will stop at nothing to keep their communities safe. Some of the Wickeds’ love stories will be hilariously fun and deeply emotional, others will tear at your heartstrings and include injections of humor, but they will all leave you wishing you could climb into the story and join them.

OMFG Goodness!

Running on Diesel is just on the next level of OMFG Goodness!
Lordy! I was pulled in by its intoxicating storyline with a sexy as-heck biker twist!!
I was basically in a Diesel haze. So, I binged on the audiobook!
From start to finish, there was no putting it down. Nope! Sleep! What’s that?
Since you know who needs sleep when you can listen to Diesel’s audiobook! LOL

It was so worth every bit of it!!! Perfection Baby!
Plus the narration by Jennifer Mack and Aiden Snow is off the chains good!

Emotional, funny, so full of life

I’ve read the book before but the audiobook gave it more life. I loved this book so much. I forgot how emotional it is.

The narrators outdid themselves. I loved these two as the characters.

A story of grief, family, starting over and turning a hard sully grown man fall for a sweet soft young woman.

Melissa Foster has a great way of telling stories of brotherhood, family and second chances at life. We often don’t get this.

I’m looking forward to more audiobooks from this author. The audiobook was just magical for me.

Love love love.

Forever love found after heartbreak.

The Wicked Aftermath by Melissa Foster has the biggest range of emotions I have ever experienced in a romance book. Tank and Leah’s story absolutely touched my soul. Both Leah and Tank have experienced the absolute worst of emotional and quite frankly, life altering events. I was absolutely gutted by these events and then watched how the author put Tank and Leah back together along with myself as well. The entire cast of The Wicked Aftermath were so well developed and heartfelt, they are amazing. Leah’s two little girls absolutely stole Tank’s heart and mine too! The emotion and passion just flew off the pages with this story. Melissa Foster is a master at emotional, funny, sexy, and quite steamy stories. Her characters are smart, funny, handsome, beautiful (inside and out), and very sexy. Melissa’s heroes are sexy, handsome alpha’s with the masterful ability to talk dirty in the most sexy way. Now, let’s talk audiobook!! I recently purchased the newly re-narrated version of The Wicked Aftermath by Aiden Snow and Jennifer Mack. I couldn’t buy this new version fast enough because Aiden Snow is one of my absolute favorite male narrators. Aiden is so perfect for the part of Tank Wicked. His voice is deep, s*xy, and will raise the hairs on the back of your neck when talking dirty into your ear. Mmmm…..scrumptious!! Jennifer Mack brings Leah to life so perfectly. Like I said earlier the emotion and passion just flew off the pages now, imagine Aiden Snow and Jennifer Mack brings all that emotion and passion to life in your ears! They are so perfect for Tank and Leah. Completely recommend The Wicked Aftermath by Melissa Foster. *****

My Thoughts on The Wicked Aftermath

This book is definitely a gut punch at times. It hit hard with the emotions brought on from the loss the characters had suffered and grief they were feeling. But it felt real and genuine and was handled with delicacy in the story telling. I also appreciated the way the romance was woven in and how Tank and Leah slowly worked their way to a relationship as they both healed. I loved how Tank was always considerate of Leah as a mom. And how he didn’t get defensive or angry when she had her harder moments. In short, I loved Tank. But the story as a whole was just amazing right down to the narration and the truly excellent performance given by both narrators.

Heartwrenching

Emotionally gripping doesn't even begin to describe this book. All I can say is keep the tissues handy because you will need them. It starts in Chapter 1 and continues all the way through the book until the end. If you are looking for a tearjerker book this is the one to read. So much loss and turmoil in this book.

Now that I have scared you, let me tell you about Junie (aka Juju or Twitch) and Rosie (aka Cheeky). They are the cutest little girls ever. Even with everything they've had to deal with in their short lived lives, they give meaning to life and keep everyone happy and moving forward.

Tank was a surprise for me. I know all of the Wicked men are incredible, but what biker man would want to inherit an emotionally devastated girlfriend and 2 little munchkins, especially since they aren't even Leah's children. She adopted them. Yet he stuck with her through everything and went above and beyond with her and the girls. What an amazing man. He finally found meaning for his life after losing his sister.

Ms Foster, you broke my heart more than once in this book. And yet, I was so happy with the ending and even the middle. There is so much love in the Wicked family. I want to be a member or be adopted by them.

Aiden Snow embodies Tank Wicked with his deep, gruff, growly, alpha, biker voice. Jennifer Mack is fairly new to me. I enjoyed her portrayal of Leah, with her grief, anger and vulnerability.
