Ashes to Ashes

The Satan's Knights MC North Carolina, Book 3

By: Janine Infante Bosco

Narrated by: Michael Norman Johnson, Sarah Puckett

Death before dishonor.

It's the most important rule and the easiest to break.

Riding with the Knightdale Charter isn't my first choice. But home is where you go when you leave your heart in a pine box. Grief is like a magnet, and I'm surrounded by shadows. Living life among the darkness, just like her.

She's buried an even bigger piece of herself than I have.

And all she wants is to finally find the light.

If we had any sense at all, we'd steer clear of each other.

But I'd rather feel anything than nothing at all.

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust.

When is it love and not just lust? Don't ask me. I'm a disgrace no matter what.

Shady and Bianca

Ashes to Ashes is a standalone in The Satan's Knights MC North Carolina series. This is my first Janine Infante Bosco book which means I have not listened to the first two books in this series so I was unfamiliar with their backstory but I feel like I caught up pretty quickly. Shady and Bianca's story is a short romantic suspense that uncovers past secrets and lies showing that things aren't always as they seem and the villain isn't always who you think it is. It is fast-paced and engaging and great for anyone who loves romantic suspense and/or MC books. Michael Norman Johnson and Sarah Puckett both did an amazing job bringing this story to life.

Fantastic Story & Listen🎧Enthralling & Heartfelt!

Janine Infante Bosco pens another amazing novel set in the “Satan’s Knights MC North Carolina” series, a romance novel that captivates your attention and tugs at your heartstrings the entire time. Each book of the series features a member of the North Carolina chapter of the Satan’s Knights Motorcycle Club and this third book is Shady, an enforcer, and Bianca’s story. Bianca was Ghost’s old lady, but a tragic loss of their daughter not only broke them apart, but broke them individually. We got Ghost’s story in the second book and he has come a long way thanks to his new woman, but he still blames Bianca and wants her gone. Bianca only wanted to know where he buried their daughter, and understands his hate for her and his grief because she is grieving herself and hates herself too. Shady had a thing for Bianca the moment she stepped into their club, but he missed his chance because Ghost got to her first. So he has a soft spot for her and knew there was more to the story of what really happened that tragic night after she mentioned Knight was in her hospital room when she woke up. Nobody has been in Bianca’s corner since that night and no one saw her like Shady did, and it is him who will bring her out of the dark place she has settled in. There is never a dull moment in this book, with non-stop drama, some angst, heartfelt emotions, and steamy romance. Thanks for another fantastic story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 Michael Norman Johnson and Sarah Puckett continue to do an amazing job portraying these characters, humanizing them and giving each a voice that is fitting. Johnson nailed it as Shady, showcasing his personality and demeanor perfectly, and Puckett does the same as Bianca and is just as amazing. They set the right tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling them all. These two make a great team, with voices and talent that complement each other and a performance that elevates the already fantastic story to another level. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another wonderful listen. 

Bianca and Shady are back!

I had the opportunity to read this book but listening to the audiobook just took it to another level. This is the third audiobook in The Satan’s Knights MC North Carolina series, and it proves that sometimes there is more to a story than meets the eye. Bianca has returned to the MC to get some information about her daughter, but her arrival is highly unwanted. Shady has always had a soft spot for Bianca but things went left when she wound up pregnant by one of his brothers. Once again, the author has penned a heart pulling tale of how something that could have been so right turned so wrong. Shady and Bianca have such chemistry and share a bond that afford them the opportunity to share and get to the truth. Sarah Puckett is one of my go to narrators as she always highlights the characters emotions to evoke a response from the listener. Michael Norman Johnson is a new narrator to me, and he showcased the personalities of the characters effortlessly. These two together make for a fantastic listen and I loved their duet. Overall, this is one audiobook to add to your listening shelf.

Story 5 ☆ Narration 5 ☆ Overall 5 ☆

This series, written by Janine Infante Bosco, just keeps getting better! This was Shady and Bianca's story, one I didn't see coming. There was no way I saw Bianca as a heroine. I didn't want to pause the book. Excellent writing with a heartbreaking storyline, but beautiful HEA. I'm still in awe.

Michael Norman Johnson and Sarah Puckett are excellent narrators! I love their voices. They brought this audiobook to life. It was perfection!

these two find their spot in both each other's liv

I honestly wasn't sure how I'd feel about Bianca and Shady's story. Both characters have been set up as black sheep in the previous books, but I do love redemption stories-or really sometimes it is just finding out the REAL story. And that is what this book does. It gives us Bianca's side of the story, and her emotional burdens and secrets. It also gives us Shady's thoughts and feelings and shows us their history to an extent-although I admit I wanted more of a glimpse into their past. It became obvious they were meant for each other, but sometimes misunderstandings and a case of getting to the 'right time, right place' delay the inevitable-then again sometimes the path needs to be rocky to shape people correctly. Whatever the case, these two find their spot in both each other's lives and the club. Narrators brought the characters together.

Great story and wonderful narration.

Redemption, self-worth, and brotherhood made up most of this story. I loved how Shady never truly gave up on the love of his life, how he bordered on hate but was willing to see beyond that to find the truth. He was so protective. Bianca was such a broken woman, and we never knew how much until this book. I had tears in my eyes frequently as I rooted for this woman to achieve her peace of mind. The back and forth of feelings between the MC brothers about this relationship was interesting to watch. This was definitely a page-turner for me, and I highly recommend it if you enjoy MC romances.

Read the book a couple years ago and had a chance to listen to the audiobook this year. Sarah Puckett and Michael Norman Johnson did a wonderful job giving life to these characters. I love the duet style and enjoyed listening to these two. I still recommend this story, whether ebook or audiobook.

Excellent

Omg! This book broke me into a bunch of pieces. My heart broke for Bianca and the turmoil and heartbreak she endured. This book blew me away and I loved every bit of it!#TheFlockonTour

Shady and Bianca

Shady and Bianca

The narrators did a good job and I enjoyed listening to this story.

I can say I liked this one more than the other two. This is Shady who is Maverick's real brother and MC brother. Bianca was Ghosts' baby mama. If you read/listened to Love is blind you get a glimpse of what happened with Bianca and Ghost doesn't need to be read or listened to, to enjoy this story. I must say I didn't like Bianca when I listen to Ghosts' story. But listening to this and what led up to happened I'm more mad at Ghost and his role in everything. All I can say is poor Bianca having everyone hate her and having nobody. Then there is Shady who has been in love with Bianca but because of his actions kept missing his opportunities. Great ending. Can't wait to see who is next.

Redeeming Qualities and Forgivness

Shady has been portrayed as the guy who is always in love with someone else's woman. Bianca is the woman who you probably don't love much so far. I wasn't sure how'd I feel about these two but I was invested. There is so much more to both of these characters than I imagined and I love a redemption story. If you allow yourself you can miss living because of grief and regrets. Get ready for Michael Norman Johnson and Sarah Puckett to bring these characters to life. If you've read/listened to this series so far then you'll know how easily these characters get under your skin and you have to know the rest of the story! Things are getting even more interesting.
