Publisher's Summary

When your life spirals out of control, you do one of two things: You let it or you stand up and defeat the demons that threaten you.

Amanda Benson faced a similar experience and ran from it, leaving Edinboro without a trace. She worked hard to get her life together and realized that to fully succeed in building a new life, she had to go back and face the old one.

When she arrives back in town, a chance encounter changes her life. She’s given a home, a job, and a family. She believes that she is on the right track. That is, until she falls in love with the man that made it all happen. Nothing can take away the heartbreak that she suffers while she watches him love the woman from his past. Not even the comfort she finds in the arms of another man can take away the pain.

Desperately searching for a love to last a lifetime, Amanda is too blind to see that the man who truly loves her is the man that she believes will destroy her. Jealousy threatens to take hold and - if she isn’t careful - will ultimately destroy her and any chance she may have at having her own happy ever after.

Fantastic!

Amy Cecil continues to keep enthralled with her Knights of Silence Series. Raw Honey is just that! Honey is a tough character. Coming to the MC needing shelter and a job, Ice takes her in and she becomes one of the family. Her growing feelings for Ice are quickly halted with the return of Emma and the true Honey comes to the surface. Now we get the real feel of this woman. She is broken and for me, I think she hasn't quite gotten to like herself enough yet. Complex and still seeking that true love, she finds safety with Hawke, and unbridled lust with Saint. It's frustrating and fascinating to see her learn about herself and grow. i loved returning to important scenes of the story we had witnessed from other points of view, really rounding out the story. There are a lot of unanswered questions and Cecil does end on a cliffhanger, so it just leaves us wanting more of this tantalizing series.

Mark and Maya Bravo continue their wonderful narration. I am loving this pair. Mark is fantastic with his many voices of the MC. From Rebel's Irish brogue to Saint's attitude, he brings them all to life. Maya is incredible as the women. She finds Emma's sweetness and Honey's brokenness and voices them perfectly. These two are this series and I am thrilled to listen to them.

Honey's story... duet style!

Raw Honey was a great installment for this series! Since the start, I’ve been curious about Honey’s character… her mysterious past, how she came to be with the Knights, and her relationship with Ice and then Hawk. We get all those answers as the author creatively recaps the first three books through Honey’s POV. I love that we get to revisit scenes through Honey’s eyes and feel the carousel of emotions that she goes through while dealing with all the drama of the club and her own individual struggles. As the story brings us up to present day, Honey’s feisty attitude catches the eyes of Sainte and sparks fly when the two of them collide! The author leaves us with another cliffhanger and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for Honey, as well as the rest of the Knights of Silence MC. I was thrilled that the narration of this book was done in duet!! Maya and Mark Bravo did an amazing performance yet again, but the duet narration brought it to another level, and I wish the whole series was done in the this style.

Raw and real!

Her addiction destroyed her chance at a happily ever after and sent her running like a thief in the night. She wanted to come home, but she didn't want to face her past. Ice gave her the fresh start she was looking for. He gave her a job and a place to stay and over time she became his girl. He told her from the start that he wasn't looking for an Old Lady, but it doesn't make it hurt any less when the man she loves tosses her aside for his childhood love. Now she has to find her own happiness in the middle of Club chaos. Outside influences have her focusing her attention on the woman she believes is responsible for breaking up her MC family, but not everything is as it seems. Will Honey realize that love isn't always safe and dependable? This story takes us on Honey's emotional journey as she tries to find her way in an unpredictable world. The cliffhanger ending will have you screaming for more.

Mark Bravo and Maya Bravo do an incredible job bringing Amy Cecil’s story to life.

Honey

I loved learning Honey's story. She is so sweet and I love that she fits right into the biker family. I loved hearing what she was thinking when Emma arrived. I felt bad for her for a minute. Can't wait to hear more about her and Hawk!

Maya and Mark are frickin amazing with the narrations!!!!!

NOPE

Couldn't make it to the end. Nothing about this book was good for me but I tried. Female narrator made the character sound elderly. The storyline had potential but just didn't cut it for me. This is not an alpha bad boy biker romance.

A raw read!

When your life spirals out of control, you do one of two things: You let it or you stand up and defeat the demons that threaten you...

Wow...what a read! It was amazing and kept me hooked and addicting.

So many emotions we go through and experience along with the heroine. Truly fantastic experience.

The narrators were amazing and their voices were spectacular.

Honey’s POV

Assuming you’ve read or listened to the first 3 books, Raw Honey is somewhat of refresher. We go back to the beginning and get Honey’s take on everything that’s happened so far. Beyond that, we get a look into Honey’s past and her struggles with addiction, getting clean, finding her new family in the MC, falling in love with Ice, watching Ice fall in love with Emma, her friendship with Hawk and her meeting Sainte. I’m not sure how I feel about Honey, there are times I definitely don’t like her, so I will have to wait for the author the hopefully redeem her in the next book, Sainte.

Mark & Maya did a great job narrating. I could feel all of the emotions.

honey POV

This story is written in Honey's POV. Honey found her place in the MC world and earned their trust. She fell in love with Ice from the beginning. He told her he wasn't looking for an Old Lady, just a good time. Honey hoped he would eventually change his mind. All her hopes came shattering down, when Emma was in danger and returned to Ice's life.
Amy Cecil makes this story interesting by letting us in the thoughts of Honey. All her raw emotions, jealousy, confusion, regret, turmoil, are exposed. Her ongoing struggle with addiction and the reason behind the choices she made. How her friendship eventually developed with Emma. One thing that Honey wanted to do was to make amends with her ex fiance, but ended up shattering his world. In this story we see a helpless Amanda/Honey return home , to develop into a woman full of spark, sass, confidence and inner strength.
Maya Bravo and Mark Bravo are excellent narrators. They just don't tell this story, they live it. They emote every Feeling of love, anger, angst, fear, pain, humor and sarcasm of every character in this story. Bringing all the characters to life. I loved listening to it.

Amazing Series!

This is the fourth book in the Knights of Silence MC Series. It was interesting to revisit some scenes from the previous books with Honey's point of view. We also learn more about her past, and her love life. She is a strong and complex character. Saint is an handsome and intriguing character! I can't wait to read his story. Mark Bravo and Maya Bravo did a great job with the narration. Looking forward to listen to the next book in the Series, Loving The Enemy.

Raw Honey

Emotions can be so confusing and for Honey this is definitely the case. We see her struggle through the whole book trying to find her other half and by the end we find that they may be possible, but you will have to wait to see what happens. Such a fun listen and I can’t wait for the next.

Awesome!

About: Amanda battles addiction. What pushes her over the edge and causes her to get help is stealing from her fiance and leaving him at the altar. Two years after she becomes clean, she returns home. Fearing facing anybody after all that she’s done, she finds herself in an area she’s not familiar with. She manages to prove herself and become one of the group. She finds herself happy and content until Ice’s love turns up out of nowhere.


Plot: This is technically book five in a series. Three from the series and one from a spin-off series that should be read as book four. Most of this book is from the first three books but in Honey’s point of view. The last part is new information. I don’t really have a problem with that really. It helped clear up some things that the first three really didn’t.


Characters: I really adored Honey in the first three books. I thought she was sweet and caring. Everybody seemed to adore her. However, I don’t adore her as much now. She’s selfish and rude. She blames people who she should be working together with and confiding in. She should be lending support. I really would have liked to see more of the rest of the characters. I forget the one guy’s name, but he’s new. I can’t wait to read more about him.


Narration: This book was narrated by the same two as the first four books. Maya May and Mark Bravo. They have been terrific in every single book so far. I would definitely grab any audiobook that I see they narrate.
Suggestions: None that I can think of.


Recommend: Definitely! Please read the series in order though. The order is listed in the description of the books on Amazon. Probably other places too.

A fabulous addition to the series.

Ohhhhhh this is my favourite of the series so far! I absolutely love seeing the events from a different viewpoint. It really gave a huge amount of depth to the story. Maya May Bravo and Mark Bravo do a fabulous job with the narration, I love when the characters feel so familiar and sound the same from book to book! I didn't really consider Honey much in the other books so it was great to get to know her better. And where it was left...wow! I need to know what happens next soooooo badly. But I also feel bad for one of the characters...

Raw emotion!

I haven’t listened to any of the others in this series and as a stand alone story it was good. Honey is an intense complicated character with pain in her past, she is looking for safety and her place in life. The biker guys are tough but with soul.
I enjoyed listening to this book and would have liked to have started at the beginning of the series to get Honeys full story (I believe she has been in throughout) but as I said not necessary at all. Great, gritty, fast paced. Well written and narrated, really brings you into the story.

Loving the series

OMG, i loved the storytelling by Maya and Mark, they sure do bring this to life, i read the book and yep, i still think Honey is a jealous b****, and i still don't like how she treated Hawk, but i still love the book and i love this audible, can't wait for the next chapter.

Motorcycle Club Romance

Raw Honey by Amy Cecil is a motorcycle club romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Mark Bravo and Maya Bravo. This is the forth book in the Knights of Silence MC Series that does end on a cliffhanger.

I absolutely love Amy’s books! I loved getting the story from Honey’s point of view. I cannot wait to see what happens with Honey and Sainte in the next book in the series Sainte.

Mark and Maya did a great job on the narration. I can’t wait to listen to more of their projects in the future.

Honey!

Amanda (Honey) has overcome a dark and painful past which has shaped her into the woman she is today. She has found a family within the Knights of Silence and was content with her relationship with Ice, the President, however when the only woman he has ever loved returns she finds herself questioning her place and her life.

Just when she thinks she has her life back on track a new man comes to the MC and into her life. He not only infuriates her but lights a fire within her that she has never felt before and she must decide if she is going to allow the past to overrule her future.

In this story we see certain events through Honey’s viewpoint and although I didn’t like her at times, she is definitely a compelling character and I look forward to learning more about her. I received a complimentary copy of the audiobook and enjoyed the performance of the narrators.

Getting to know Honey better!!

Honey has been in these books the entire time, but we didn’t really know her story until Raw Honey. I enjoyed getting to know her... but am left in the air a bit!!! Going to look for the next book.. gotta see if she stays too scared, or if she gives in!!!

Maya May Bravo and Mark Bravo did great with the narration!!!
