The Wicked Aftermath: Tank Wicked

The Wickeds: Dark Knights at Bayside, Book 2

De: Melissa Foster

Narrado por: 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.

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.

🎧🎧AUDIOBOOK REVIEW🎧🎧

I remember reading this story back in 2021 and I was gutted by it all then and today I am an emotional mess once again. When you read as much as I do, if there’s a gap of 3 years between one read and the next, it’s bound to feel somewhat fresh, but this was more. I knew I’d be emotional, but the performance by Aiden Snow & Jennifer Mack brought out the emotion of not just the characters, but the storyline itself, ten-fold! It was in “living color” and vivid AF and I pretty much was ALL up in my feelings from beginning to end! What an incredible pair these two made!

I feel like I’ve been saying this since the beginning of time LOL but Melissa Foster has incredible talent. I’m not sure there has ever been a story I have not felt deep in my bones when I read it. I always feel like I’m inside the world she’s writing and experiencing all of the good, bad, and in-between! I am always up in my feelings in one way or another and it is a pleasure being there because she writes stories full of family, friendship, love & hope, and she never skirts around circumstances and represents them respectfully.

This story broke my heart as much as it made it soar and I love that I got to experience it as an ebook and audiobook. I can’t really tell you that one is better than the other, because I loved them both, but I know that if you prefer one way over the other, either way you’re gonna come out a winner!

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.
