THE WICKED AFTERMATH is an emotionally gripping story of love, loss, and hope, with a rich and entrancing happily ever after.
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 between the pages and join them. 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.

Excerpt
She turned to Baz and Blaine. “What can I get y’all?”
Her Southern drawl drew Tank in every time he heard it. He watched her as the others ordered. Her expression morphed to a more serious one as she studied Zander’s face the way she always did, like she was trying to figure him out. “Would you like a refill?”
“I’d like your number,” Zander said with a wink.
Tank glowered at him.
Leah wrinkled her nose. “I’m not on the menu, but I’m happy to get you a drink.”
Everyone chuckled as he asked for a refill and tried again to get her number. She turned toward Tank with her gaze trained on the order pad. “And for you?”
“Whiskey, neat,” Tank said.
Her eyes flicked up to his, and in the space of a second everything else failed to exist except that thunderous roar, and just as quickly, the little color Leah had drained from her face.
“You okay, darlin’?” Tank touched her hand.
She pulled it away, stumbling backward, and scurried off toward the bar.
“Dude, are you sure something didn’t happen between you two that we should know about?” Blaine asked.
Tank leveled him with a dark stare.
As his brothers and cousins joked about him scaring Leah off every time she looked at him, he watched her heading for the bar, eyes downcast, as though she wished she were invisible again. Maybe she was just a quiet girl who liked her privacy, but that didn’t explain her reaction to him. He’d missed signs of trouble with Ashley, and he wasn’t about to let that happen again. Not to her or anyone else.
TISSUE ALERT!!!
I originally read this back in June 2021, when The Wicked Aftermath was first released, and I fell hard for Benson "Tank" Wicked. To this day, if anyone asks me who my #1 book boyfriend is, I always say it's Tank Wicked from The Wicked Aftermath. The Wicked Aftermath AUDIO has been rereleased with a new male narrator. I had to dive in once I heard Aiden Snow narrate it. That man could read me the phone book, and I would sit there and listen to the whole thing. Jennifer Mack did a phenomenal job with bringing Leah to life. You could feel all of the pain she had endured, and the heartache she had gone through at her young age will have you rooting for her right from the start. Aiden Snow, in my opinion, is the perfect choice to bring Tank to life. He had me crying one second and laughing the next, which was exactly what I needed at that time. If you have the opportunity to listen to this book, I highly recommend you do, but if you don't, I recommend you purchase whatever format you enjoy reading; you won't be disappointed.
(my original review 6/2021)
I don't know how Melissa Foster does it, but she creates the absolute best couples ever! Tank and Leah's story is one that will grip you with so many emotions. I cried for a good majority of the book, but in between, Juni and Rosie had me cracking up. This story is about the loss of a loved one, the process of grieving and trying to move forward, finding love, and discovering a family you didn't expect. I completed this read in a day, and even though I had to put it down a couple of times to compose myself, I couldn't help but go right back to it because it was sooooo good!
This story will gut you, but I promise it will put you together again in the best possible way before it's over. My heart swelled with emotions throughout this story; it was so heartbreakingly beautiful you could not help but fall in love with each and every one in this book. From Benson, aka Tank, to Leah, to the precious little girls who had me craving pincakes for breakfast. I don't know how Ms. Foster will top this one, and I know I have said that before, but man, Tank will be hard to knock out of the top book-boyfriend spot.
I highly recommend this book to everyone. Whether you enjoy Contemporary Romances or MC Romances or are just looking for a good Steamy read, you won't want to miss it.
Happy Reading!!!
