RIDING THE EDGE
by Janine Infante Bosco
A Satan’s Knights Novel
Publication Date: August 21, 2018
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Erotic, MC, Romantic Suspense, Standalone
Once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life, something extraordinary comes along that knocks you on your ass…
“Wolf”
I’m a simple man with simple values. You either love me or you hate me, but the ones who need me, always got me. I’m the self-proclaimed Wolf of the Satan’s Knights MC, the beast who will fight his way out of any dark alley to defend your honor. The brother you call upon when you’ve lost your faith in humanity.
However, secrets and lies are the cancer of a man’s soul. Exposed, they will eat away all that is good and leave nothing but destruction in their wake. They’ll prove the best intentions sometimes fail and leave you questioning your life’s choices.
Now, searching for a purpose, I find myself facing the ride of my existence with a woman just as jaded as me. As she fights the biggest battle of her life, I want to be the man who stands by her side. The man who ain’t afraid to ride the edge of misery because he knows there is something beautiful on the other side…
“Maria”
I’ve prevailed against the mob, a deadbeat ex-husband and the woes of being a single mother. While someone else may have wished for a different life, I believe I’m stronger for everything I’ve endured. I’m someone who speaks her mind and fights for what is right. A woman who will smack you upside the head with a frying pan and ask questions later.
Terrified of love, I’m an otherwise fearless woman.
Until a doctor solemnly diagnoses me and my strength falters.
Now as fear engulfs me, an unexpected man dressed in leather, holds out his hand.
As a woman who never needed anyone, I suddenly need him.
His assurance.
His strength.
His love.

I’m an avid reader, and there have been many books that I have fallen in love with, and they have stayed with me for a long time. Riding the Edge, though, is one that I felt deep down in my heart and boy did I cry! It has meant so much to me in more ways than one. First, I need to tell you how much I love the Satan Knights MC. This series is one that I feel a part of. When I open any of their stories, I feel transported into their world. The characters are gritty, uncouth, unforgiving, and I love them.
Riding the Edge also struck a chord with me since I have been battling breast cancer for the past year. I could relate to Maria in so many ways, and I cried through a large part of the book. Since I went through it, I could tell that Janine Infante Bosco did her research. I could tell the little details mattered to her, and she made sure to depict it all. And let me tell you, I absolutely love Wolf!
Riding the Edge was absolutely amazing and completely unputdownable. It’s one that definitely needs to be added to your TBR list! I do suggest that you start reading from the beginning of the series. I believe it will help you understand the background information and to fully comprehend the concept of being considered the Property of Parrish. After reading this story, I definitely feel like I am one.
From The Ruins

Publication Date: September 26, 2017
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Erotic, MC, Romantic Suspense, Standalone
“Pipe”
In every man’s life there comes a day of reckoning. It’s the day darkness is exposed and sinners are punished for their trespasses.
A day when loyalty is destroyed and a man is left in ruins.
When he walks away from his club and loses his religion.
Whoever said from the ruins they will rise again never walked a mile in my shoes or the pair of red ones I was left holding.
“Layla”
He’s bitter, cold and angry.
He’s seen his share of heartache.
Lived through tragedy and despair.
He’s my neighbor.
The man I know should stay away from.
The man who will destroy what’s left of me if I get too close.
He’s Lee Jameson, and I’m Layla Milano.
This is our story.
The story of two people left in ruins forced to rise again.

From the Ruins is the first book in the Satan Nights MC series by author Janine Infante Bosco. This story can be read as a standalone, just know that several of the characters are from Ms. Bosco’s earlier novels. It’s my opinion that you will have a better foundation if you read The Tempted and Nomad series first, but know it’s not necessary.
As the story begins, Pipe (AKA Lee) is heartbroken after an accident and decides he needs to walk away from the MC. He leaves the city and stays at his cottage a couple hours away. Soon, the peace and quiet end when the cottage next door is rented out to a single mother (Layla) and her three kids.
The storyline is unlike any MC book that I have read and I can’t tell you how many passages I bookmarked! There is so much growth within the characters and the banter between Layla and Pipe is dang funny!
A fabulous book and a definite add to your TBR list!
THE DEVIL DON’T SLEEP
by Janine Infante Bosco
A Satan Knights #2
Publication Date: June 28, 2018
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Erotic, MC, Romantic Suspense, Standalone
Sometimes we must let go of what was, appreciate what remains and fearlessly embrace what comes next.
Sebastian “Bas”
Born to a family of outlaws, I was destined to ride with the Satan’s Knights MC. With mayhem and havoc in my blood and chaos living deep in my soul, I learned the Devil don’t sleep. You never hear him creeping and he often comes disguised as everything you ever wanted.
I was just teenager when she first showed, masquerading as the girl of my dreams. A whiskey shootin’ spitfire who knocked me on my ass and helped me turn the town upside down. The girl who stole my heart with her smile and never gave it back. The same bitch who ruined me and turned my blood to ice.
It’s been six years since I turned my back on Mac, my family and my club. I’ve pushed her to the back of my head, wrote everyone off and damned the Kentucky charter to hell. But, where God built a church, the Devil built a chapel.
Now, her life is on the line and it’s clear I’m still a sucker for her gorgeous chaos because I’m the one riding to her rescue.
Mackenzie “Mac”
I often dreamed of what it would be like to stare into Bas’ blue eyes again. To hear his raspy voice whisper his love for me and feel his strong arms around me. After all, it’s always been in his embrace that I felt the safest.
In my dreams, he abolishes my sins and forgives me for breaking both our hearts.
But this is no dream.
I’m running from a nightmare and the one running with me, looks at me with enough anger to burn the world to ash.
Once upon a time, we were in love.
Once upon a time, it was us against the world.
Once upon a time, he didn’t look at me and see the Devil.
If only he knew the truth.
If only he knew the Devil was a broken angel with tattered wings.
An angel who sacrificed her heart and soul for him.

The Devil Don’t Sleep is another book in the Satan Nights MC series and can be read as a standalone romance. I love all of Janine Infante Boscos MC series, and several of the characters are from her earlier novels. To gain a better foundation, you may want to read The Tempted and Nomad series first. Just know that it’s not necessary. Reading the other series will help you understand the background information and to fully comprehend being considered the Property of Parrish.
The Devil Don’t Sleep tells the story of Bas and Mac. They were in love living in Kentucky, but Bas was sent to jail for 5 years which made it difficult for the two of them. On the day of his release, Bas returns to his MC clubhouse and sees a pregnant Mac with his blood brother Junior. Feeling heartbroken, Bas leaves town and ends up in NY at Jack Parrish’s Clubhouse in Brooklyn, NY. Years later he gets a phone call from the Kentucky chapter asking for Bas’s help.
The story is suspenseful and exciting, and I had a hard time putting my Kindle down. A definite add to your TBR list!
