The Wicked Aftermath by Melissa FosterMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Emotional Rollercoaster
This is part of a series of connected books about one family and the MC they are part of. The book stands alone and there is no cliffhanger.
Tank Wicked is a tattoo artist, as big as his namesake and determined to rescue everyone that needs saving, which includes working as a volunteer firefighter a few times a month. He’s self contained and a man of little words and fewer smiles. He’s never recovered from losing his little sister and it’s kept him from ever really connecting with women. He adores his family and brothers in the MC, but he’s never met a woman who can break down his walls.
Leah has been working as a waitress at the Wicked family bar/restaurant for a few months and she’s enjoying the job, and the tips even more. She’s very private and self-contained. She lives with her younger brother, who she has raised since when she was 18, and his two daughters that she adopted as he was still a teenager when his girlfriend had them. They’ve only been in the area for a few months after moving from the South in a need to have a change.
When tragedy strikes Tank is there for Leah and her little family, along with the rest of the Wickeds and the Dark Knights MC. When Leah started working for the Wickeds she came under their protection and she gets to see what that means the instant she needs them.
In the first 40% of this book, I think I outright bawled my eyes out at least three times. I was so sad for Leah and her family but I was also really moved by the lovely things Tank and his family did for her. It made me wish there were people like that around everyone.
As the book moved on the tears came less and the laughter and love grew more and more. This little instant family warmed my heart so much and the descriptions of the girls were just so funny and sweet I melted a bit.
These characters are wonderful. Tank is this big old teddy bear and Leah is a sweet and generous woman who’ll do anything for her family. There are a few little bumps on the road to the HEA but on the whole, the latter part of the book is filled with a successful romance. All the tears come in the front of the book and by the end, I was smiling like a fool.
I do love these Wicked books. This family is so strong and give so much to those around them you can’t help but love them even knowing they don’t exist.
This is a book to read if you need to have a bit of a cry followed by something to make you smile, because it’s all in this one book.
