Living by the creed of the Dark Knights motorcycle club, he protects his Cape Cod community as a volunteer firefighter and treats the crew at his tattoo shop like family, all while carrying the grief of losing his sister. Then one foggy night, a car careens off a bridge and into the river below, and Tank plunges into the water to pull the passengers to safety, but not everyone comes out alive. Leah Yates is simply trying to make it through each day. When the man she blames for her grief becomes the only person who can pull her back from the edge of despair, she learns that even hope comes at a price. Set on the sandy shores of Bayside, where the Wickeds are fiercely protective and unbreakably bonded, this is an emotionally charged story of love, loss, and the fragile first steps toward healing. As blame and attraction tangle together, Tank and Leah edge toward a connection neither expected, discovering that the person you hold responsible for your pain can sometimes be the one who saves you.",2021,"https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kxpvwa6z0fczsmzx7w54w2s5.jpg?v=3f5cd49588","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks-3d\u002F01\u002F01kxpvwa6fbjy5vkwpg16rwfs5.png?v=98fdb81987","LJI}q,IUIV%200WVM{xu~q%Loft7","5.00",1,325,369,0,"complete",false,true,[17,17,17,17,17,17,17,17,17,14],[23],{"id":24,"slug":25,"name":26,"role":27,"bio":28},"01kx262b7fyxe3z8beha1bc09z","melissa-foster-ffxg","Melissa Foster","author","A New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author, Melissa Foster has written more than 100 novels and sold millions of copies worldwide.

The last thing he needs is his new neighbor: Lina, a sleek, guarded woman who rolls into town on a motorcycle with a hidden agenda and no intention of staying.\n\nNeither of them is looking for a relationship. Both keep ending up in each other's orbit anyway, trading barbs that don't quite hide the heat underneath. But Lina's real reason for being in Knockemout is tangled up with the same danger that put a bullet in Nash, and the closer they get, the harder it becomes to walk away — or to stay safe.\n\nLucy Score's second Knockemout romance pairs slow-burn banter and small-town warmth with a thickening thread of suspense.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz4raeyhecndkgw6mzkykf8.jpg","LAQti[~qP#=|mSozo#V@k;n,n9W.",3,537,[859],{"id":860,"slug":861,"name":862},"01kjr2bnqsv046gnfepe18s6hk","lucy-score-9dkt","Lucy Score",[864,865,866,870,871],{"id":126,"name":127,"slug":128,"is_fiction":20},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":20},{"id":867,"name":868,"slug":869,"is_fiction":20},40,"Suspense","suspense",{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":20},{"id":872,"name":873,"slug":874,"is_fiction":20},204,"Romantic Suspense","romantic-suspense",[876],{"id":877,"slug":878,"name":879,"position":55,"is_main_entry":20,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kjr2bnt8mvdd990c38wh1vmj","knockemout-fbc8","Knockemout",{"pace":75,"complexity":7,"audience":78,"mood":881,"themes":882,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[81,80,258,83,555],[741],{"key":884,"params":885,"works":886},"genre",{"genre":36},[887,915,936,956,978,1001],{"id":888,"slug":889,"title":890,"description":891,"primary_cover_url":892,"cover_blurhash":893,"first_publish_year":602,"community_rating_avg":894,"community_rating_count":895,"page_count":896,"authors":897,"genres":902,"series":907,"enrichment":912},"01kjt75450necqwac620g3ecx2","flawless-pmdg","Flawless","Rhett Eaton lives for three things: riding bulls, raising hell, and doing exactly as he pleases. When a viral outburst threatens to derail his rodeo career, his team hires a professional fixer to keep him in line — enter Summer Hamilton, a polished PR rep with zero patience for cowboys, rodeos, or babysitting an overgrown troublemaker. The problem is that they’re now stuck with each other for the entire season. He thinks rules are made to be broken; she practically wrote the rulebook. But somewhere between forced road trips, staged smiles, and late-night honesty, the line between can’t-stand-you and can’t-stop-thinking-about-you starts to blur. The first Chestnut Springs novel kicks off the series with a grumpy-sunshine, opposites-attract romance set in the world of the Eaton family ranch.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fcontributions\u002Fwork\u002F01\u002F01kjt75450necqwac620g3ecx2_6a21d348d5e14.jpg?v=9ecf60e29c","LCK15v~q4o-;5P%2s:jZDQxGotWC","4.12",13,427,[898],{"id":899,"slug":900,"name":901},"01kjt75471hmz7gc3vv0kctnb1","elsie-silver-dhpz","Elsie Silver",[903,904,905,906],{"id":126,"name":127,"slug":128,"is_fiction":20},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":20},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":20},{"id":706,"name":707,"slug":708,"is_fiction":20},[908],{"id":909,"slug":910,"name":911,"position":198,"is_main_entry":20,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kpzw30st761eg0zvdm96v9d6","chestnut-springs-tnbv","Chestnut Springs",{"pace":75,"complexity":7,"audience":78,"mood":913,"themes":914,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[258,81,82],[203,202],{"id":916,"slug":917,"title":918,"description":919,"primary_cover_url":920,"cover_blurhash":921,"first_publish_year":184,"community_rating_avg":401,"community_rating_count":548,"page_count":922,"authors":923,"genres":925,"series":929,"enrichment":931},"01kq0rkqe5y9p7gp6zjs1hp3ef","hopeless-222u","Hopeless","Beau Eaton is the town golden boy — a thirty-five-year-old military hero with a tortured past and the kind of name that opens every door in Chestnut Springs.

Cade Eaton is thirteen years older than Willa Grant, barely speaks to her, and seems determined to keep his walls up. But Cade — the broody eldest Eaton brother, devoted father to his young son, and the man holding the family ranch together — has a softer center than his gruff exterior suggests. In the quiet moments between chores and bedtime, his hardened facade begins to slip, and the carefully maintained distance between employer and nanny turns into something far more dangerous.

This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.I have been looking forward to Tank and Leah’s story after their introduction in A Little Bit Wicked. After receiving The Wicked Aftermath for review I received a tissue\u002Fugly cry warning. With that in mind, I expected it to be an emotional read. It may not have had me reaching for tissues, but it left me feeling bittersweet.\n\nI started out enjoying the banter shared between the characters. It is always fun hanging out with the characters Foster creates. Then the unthinkable happened, which sent me into a slight tailspin. It made me sad seeing it all unfold, and my heart ached for Leah. She has lost so much already. How much more can she bear?\n\nAmidst the sadness, Junie and Rosie provided a ray of hope and sunshine. These two beautiful and adorable little girls who called Leah, mom, were her anchor in her storm of grief. Also, the support she received from Tank and his family helped in so many ways.\n\nI loved the relationship which developed between Tank and Leah. Tank looked out for her and the girls every chance he got. Tank may appear to have it all together, but a tragedy from his past still haunts him. His willingness to help Leah through her grief would provide the healing he needed. They shared an attraction prior to the tragic event, so I can see how easy it would be for love to grow between them. The passion they shared was so intense; readers were sure to be left hot and bothered. Tragedy may have brought them together, but in the end, love bound them forever.\n\nThe relationship Tank had with Rosie and Junie had me smiling. Their interactions were riddled with cuteness galore. He may appear tough on the outside, but deep down he a softie at heart. Here we see this tough and broody biker who willingly dresses like Peter Pan, tights and all, so he could grant a little girl her heart’s desire.\n\nFoster is known for creating stories with strong family connections, and The Wicked Aftermath was no different. It warmed my heart to see how the Wicked’s embraced Leah, Junie, and Rosie. They provided them with a sense of belonging. Also, the camaraderie and the way they made fun of each other had me laughing at their antics.\n\nThis is one of those stories that is likely to break your heart into tiny little fragments, while providing you the support needed to mend the broken pieces. Overall, in The Wicked Aftermath, Foster created an engaging and heart-warming story of loss, hope, love and healing, which featured a strong heroine and a swoon worthy hero.This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading","none","rv-01kxpvwcr34qs9v0cgw51wrtca",[],"2026-07-17T01:43:29.000000Z"]
