Tattooist Aria Bad has mastered the art of hiding in plain sight. Her art is her only safe place. Crowded rooms make her panic. People’s eyes burn too hot. Except his. Zeke Wicked has been the steady presence she’s leaned on since he tutored her through high school. He’s a loyal, protective Dark Knight biker, the kind of man who sees everything and the one man who could unravel her without even trying. Every year he takes her to see her family for the holidays, but this year she’s harboring a secret and needs to go alone.
Years ago, Zeke swore to protect, and never touch, Aria, but that didn’t stop his heart from staking claim to her. Lately she’s been secretive and has been pulling away, and now she’s determined to make their annual trip without him, but his instincts won’t let her go alone. When a storm strands them, boundaries blur and buried feelings rise to the surface, unearthing a passion neither can deny. But as the storm clears, they discover two dangerous truths—one that ties them together and one that threatens to tear them apart.
Foster weaves her magic every time! With the next book in The Wickeds: Dark Knights at Bayside series, we finally get Zeke’s story and it’s the ultimate best friends to lovers storyline! His family is well developed throughout the series, but I would have enjoyed a little more depth to his personal past to lay the groundwork of him a touch more. Aria was my favorite! She’s lovely and easy to like. The storyline was intriguing and watching them fight their attraction added a fun side to it all. I felt like their story was quick and maybe would have enjoyed seeing them out enjoying life a bit more once they were truly together, but what’s not to love when a Wicked and a Bad join forces? I’m looking forward to seeing more of both families!
