Wanderer

The Satan's Knights MC New York #2

by Janine Infante Bosco

I've lived two lives.
One full of innocence and one full of sin.
Now revenge, mayhem, and loss are all I know.
I wandered through the darkness until I found a new place to call home.
Today I'm Satan's deadliest soldier.
A former nomad, tormented by his demons and heavy with regret.
A man coming face-to-face with the biggest failure of his life.
Her.
The girl I let go.
The woman I'll ruin if I stay.

I would like to be Property of Parrish too!! Please tell me where to sign up ;)

Jagger "Cobra" Richardson and Celeste Spinelli fell in love at the age of 14. It was bliss. Until a night of terror shattered their lives. Alexandria, Jagger's twin sister and Celeste's best friend, went missing without a trace. It affected everyone who knew and loved her irrevocably. Four years later, Jagger disappears from Celeste's life without a word as well, but of his own choosing. He went on the hunt for answers and refused to stop until he found justice for his family. Now, going by the name Cobra, the stars align and two destined hearts are reunited.

I loved how most of this story ran parallel to that of Drifter and how it tied up the loose ends from there. Once again I appreciated the author's note at the beginning. It served as a warning to the story (which I personally didn't need) and let the reader know that it wasn't for the faint of heart. It's got blood, guts and glory. The action and rawness of this story were tempered by the beauty of Cobra and Celeste's relationship, their interactions with Skylar, the hope of a second (or third) chance at love, and the general camaraderie of the Club.

There was never a doubt or question in my mind of whether or not Cobra and Celeste belonged together. Their love virtually leaked from the pages. By the way Mz. Janine, thank you for stepping it up a notch with the sex scenes. Muy caliente!! Although Cobra and Celeste found their happiness, the story still isn't finished. I can't wait to see how these men bring down that despicable Russian and I hope that Cobra is the one to deliver the sentence. After all of the years and after everything he's lost and sacrificed, he more than deserves it. I'll be anxiously waiting for the next book!!

Prepare to have your heart ripped out.



Actually, just do yourself a favour and leave it at the door. Leave it there with your last breath and the bucket of tears you’ll no doubt cry. Just get all of that out of the way first, so you can concentrate on this thrill ride of a story. You will need every single one of your wits to keep up with this explosive (literally) instalment.



Cobra could very well be the Janine Bosco hero who knocks Riggs from his sweet. Fiercely intense, this guy puts the ‘omg-those-tattoos’ in bad boy. He’s done everything in his power to kill the guy he used to be and seek retribution for all the wrongs that have been done to him, but one look at the girl he left behind so many years ago – and he crumbles into a possessive, loving, filthy-mouthed alpha that fell in love with almost immediately.



Bosco weaves this story through past and present seamlessly and before you know it, you’re totally invested in this suspenseful tale just trying to keep up with all the twists and turns. Wanderer is absolutely packed to the brim with violence, intrigue, the feels and so much hotness it will burn your fingers. Take this journey and be left not entertained, but asking: WTF just happened?

What in the what, what, whattttttttttttttttt??????????



All of you reading my review are Linda right now.....

First, let me tell you that I am finally taking a breath after a half hour of not doing so.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph!!!

I won't repeat my entire diatribe of dedication to the author's writing (just check out every single review I've written for the The Tempted Series, The Riverdale Series and now the Nomad Series). You will see that I have been obsessed with great reason.

You cannot just pick a random book and think you know what's going on. Nope!! Don't be left out of the cool kids crowd. Read all of them!! Fall in love over and over again if necessary.

I honestly cannot stress enough the importance of getting to know each and every single character - from our bad guys with big hearts, to the women who hold them down.

Out of all the couples that I've fallen in love with, I believe Cobra and Celeste are in a freaking close race to Riggs and Lauren.

But, let me refocus.

Wanderer is Cobra and Celeste's story. This is true childhood sweethearts who went through so, so, so much together. Even while they tried their hardest to fight it when they growing up, sometimes shit takes it course for a reason.

This isn't the story your mommy read to you before bed. I'm not a princess and he's isn't a prince.

Darkness.
Longing.
Lust.
Love.
Anger.
Drama.
Secrets.
Time.

All of these factors really are the foundation of every single thing Cobra and Celeste had to face and live through before they were able to come full circle.

How can you NOT love Cobra? My goodness. I wanted to rest his head upon my bosom and tell him everything would be okay.



How can you NOT love Celeste? That girl was so kickass in every single way.

How can you NOT love Jack Parrish???? The man does no wrong in my damn eyes even though his stories been read and told and lives on???

And Chapter 45???!! I died.
I stopped breathing until I read the complete page of Chapter 46!!!!

Cobra, Celeste, Skylar....and the little pea....they have joined the little club in my heart of hearts.

Next up...(I'm thinking...hoping....) is Duece and Ally's story.
I can't wait to see how Janine is going to save this one...they need a Glory Be, a Hallelujah and a few "motherfu*ckers" to help them...



Bring it!!!!

OK, I LOVED the first book in this series and after the ending in that book I couldn't wait to get my hands on this one. I liked it BUT I found Cobra and Celeste's story for me, lacked a "spark"... hard to describe but maybe because they came back together too fast and especially her, I would have made him seriously grovel....She was too "easy" with forgiveness and that was part of the lack of spark to their story. I don;t want a sappy h, if that makes sense and Cobra had a whole lot of making up to do and found that she made it "too easy" for him:( I wanted "more"......

It was good and although I am in the minority, it wasn't great for me.

Another winner in series

Lots of action in this one. Best to read in order, although each book is a standalone, but other members are involved.
Cobra has been searching for his missing sister, and is in love with her best friend. The 3 were close growing up. This book runs parallel with book one (which I dislike). Lots of drama and chaos involved and plenty of action to keep you turning the pages.

OMG what a book!!! As I'm typing this I literally feel as if I've been to hell and back right along with the characters, I felt every emotion going whilst reading this my adrenaline was pumping from the prolouge alone and as storyline played out I became more how can I put it? I'll go with hooked and invested, my kitchen was a mess and I didn't even know what my kids were up to at times but it was all good their dad was charge lol.

I'm a huge fan of the MC genre and this had everything and more you'd expect, it was raw, gritty and full of angst but there was lighter moments I even found some parts slightly humorous namely the banter between these 'big bad bikers' there's even a few melt your heart moments like I said before I felt it all.

There's some great twists and turns with questions being answered and even more asked, there was never a dull moment I was on the edge of my seat. The characters were great not only the main one's the secondary characters were just as interesting.

Cobra and Celeste are the main characters of the story it's #2 in the series but could be read as a standalone, I hadn't read the first book but that's about to change, after reading this one there's no way I couldn't read it.

I recently discovered MC romance and am loving it so far. This author is new to me, and I thoroughly enjoyed We will be adding her to our to -be -read list for sure. "Wanderer" was a great read, and I'm looking forward to reading "Drifter," Stryker's story.

I really enjoyed the main characters, Cobra and Celeste. They were a lot of fun to read about. I loved that they were high school sweethearts who got a second chance at romance and a happy ever after.

My favorite character in this book is Cobra. He touched my heart with his experiences of heartache and loss. I couldn't imagine going through what he did, losing his twin sister and parents in a short amount of time. I loved his withdrawn and dark demeanor, but also his tender and sweet side. His interactions with his friends and MC brothers were great, and I admired his determination to bring his sister's killer to justice. His protective nature towards Celeste was endearing, and his unwavering love for her, even after years apart, was heartwarming.

The chemistry between Cobra and Celeste was explosive, and their intimate scenes were steamy and captivating. One of my favorite scenes was when Cobra and Celeste were waiting to find out if they were ?. Their banter and interactions made me smile throughout the story.

Celeste was a firecracker with a great sense of humor and a strong protective instinct. I admired her strength and independence, especially in her interactions with Cobra and her daughter, Skylar. With twists and turns, love, romance, vengeance, secrets, second chances, pain, suffering, and the MC's life element.

I enjoyed getting to know the characters and their personalities, and I felt connected to them. Celeste and Cobra's rediscovery of their love was worth fighting for, and their relationship stood the test of time. The story had a bit of erotica that added heat to the romance. I look forward to reading more about Cobra's MC brothers in the future. I recommend this book to all romance lovers.

[Christine · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wanderer by Janine Infante Bosco is a heartbreakingly emotional second chance romance between childhood sweethearts who've experienced more pain in their short lives than most see in an entire lifetime. Twists and turns will shock and surprise readers either new to the series or long time fans of Janine's work. Wanderer can be read as a standalone to new readers though I think it's better enjoyed if you've read Janine's previous series "Temptations" and the earlier novel "Drifter" in the "Nomads" series as story lines are entangled and layered.

Cobra, known in his previous life as Jagger Richardson, has led a painful life. Losing his sister and parents have changed the path he wanted for himself to a darker road. With revenge in his heart, Cobra gave up that what was closest to him and has haunted him for years. Returning home and joining Satans Knights - Brooklyn MC chapter, he forced to face his past and a glimmer of a future. Celeste grew up loving Jagger and even though their youth was marred by violence and pain she stuck by him, the man she gave her first's too. Living with the guilt of the loss of her best friend, Celeste chose to live her life as her friend would have which has weighed her down over the years. A bad date, a rescue and night of passion change her life forever but will Cobra's return be what she needs or will old wounds be opened up again.

Oh my God! This book destroyed me. So many twists and turns layered into the complex (not in a confusing way) story which spans 12 years. Janine is a master at interweaving her past work and laying the groundwork for new surprises. I ran the range of emotions while reading Wanderer and found this story to be an emotional roller-coaster of a ride. Cobra was my ultimate bad boy and Celeste was beyond perfect match to his alpha ways. 5 "Mine" stars for Wanderer by Janine Infante Bosco ~ a top read of 2017!

I voluntarily read an advanced copy of Wanderer from the author. Oh my gosh I was blown away.

This is book 2 of the Nomad series, Cobra and Celeste's story. I think I have a love/hate/love relationship with Cobra. LOL!!! I was crying one minute, smiling so big, the next minute, then the minute after that I wanted to punch him. He has been through a lot in his life so I guess he has a reason to be the way he is. Celeste is his love. She too has been through a lot. Actually, they have gone through it all together, just handled it in different ways. There were so many surprises in this book that had me gasping and yelling and shouting in happiness. Absolutely love books that keep you on your toes!!

I really just want to tell you the whole story right now, but instead I will say you do not want to miss out on this book! I am so ready for book 3...Deuce's story! Thank you Janine for writing such frickin amazing books for us to lose our minds over!!!

OMG Janine, I thought you blew it out of the park with Drifter, to me Wanderer blows Stryker away. This whole book was so heart wrenching to me, it kept me on my toes & my heart in my throat. Cobra is a such a tortured soul that you can't help but feel for him & fall in love with him. Blackie was my favorite but sorry Cobra is my new favorite. You will totally fall in love with him. There were so many twists & turns that I didn't see coming. You can't help but feel the pain all go through. I laughed, I cried & everything in between. Keep up the great stories, I hope this ride with Satan's Knights never ends. Can't wait to see what you come up with for Deuce & my boy Linc. I will be patiently waiting.

This was such a great read after reading Drifter I could not wait to get my hands on Cobra and Celeste's story . Loved how Janine Infante Bosco gave us some history into their relationship we get to see bits and pieces from Drifter but in Cobra and Celeste's point of view and instead of just jumping right were book one left off we get the history between the two . I have read the first Nomad book and I would suggest reading it before starting this one because there might some major spoilers but it isn't required . I felt so bad for Cobra his story is a sad one he regrets going down a road of darkness and revenge when he could have been in one of light and happiness . Celeste is a really strong heroine amazing mama bear her little girl is super adorable . This is a second chance romance it goes through so many emotions sadness , happiness , anger ,and of coarse some pantie melting is involved . This would be my second read by this author and I can not wait for the next Nomad book

4.5 stars for me. Second book in this series. This one can be read as a standalone but book 1 was also 4.5 stars for me.
This one covers the lives of Cobra and Celeste who were thrown together at 14 because Celeste was best friends with his twin sister. They experience young love that never dies even through pain, time and a lot of tragedy. There's a ten year absence that isn't solely due to Cobra walking off. This book made me sad and gave me hope because Cobra never lets Celeste push him away. This is not a light fluffy romance but the writing, the words and the emotions will drag you in deep. This book does take place at the same time that book 1 action was going on. So if you read this one before book 1, you'll know all the spoilers for the first book.
Looking very much forward to the next book in the series.

Review




If there’s one thing to be said about this author and every book that I’ve had the pleasure of reading that she’s penned thus far, its this. She knows how to make you feel.

Sure, it might be in the most torturous and heart wrenching ways, or it may even be humorous, but by books end, you’re going to feel and you’re going to feel a lot.

One of the best things besides her ability to bring emotional that I also enjoy, especially as it pertains to this series and the one that came before it (Jack, Blackie and the other brothers), is her ability to take issues that based on the news today are paramount and very, very real, and use them in a way that not only opens your eyes to them if you’re unfamiliar, but makes you feel for all of the parties involved.

This one, what happened to Cobra’s sister, the angle she took here in using trafficking of girls, it wasn’t exactly a revelation for me because I am aware of just how often that goes on and how sick and depraved these individuals that do it are, but it was gripping. And, written in a way that I think was real, but also sensitive to anyone who might read this book later down the line that have lived this. I think going into something this heavy, she did her homework and for that I’m thankful. Along with the fact that she didn’t exactly gloss over the ugly parts of it. It was real, it was painful but god, the way it all comes about by books end, was honestly beautiful.

I’ve got to admit that towards the end, she writes a line that for a split second, until I allowed myself to continue after the mini heart stop I had, I wanted to smack her with the book for because after becoming so emotionally entangled and caught up with this couple, that was the last thing I wanted to read. This is where she gets another nod from me, because if I wasn’t already so attached, so deeply involved in the lives of these characters and the story taking place, that reaction wouldn’t have happened.

That’s what reading is all about.

These characters, they may do things that you and I might not do. They may make choices or decisions in the heat of the moment the way we are all known to do and they might not be the same ones we’ve made, but I will say this, they were real. I had moments where I didn’t exactly agree with the way Celeste handled what was happening around her and the same could be said for the disappearing act that Cobra himself was known for, but what I did do, was understand and honestly, it only made me love them more. They weren’t perfect, this wasn’t a story filled with all things pretty. It was messy, it was downright trying and horrific at points, but what it also was, was a real love story. Because nothing worth having ever comes easy.

Before I end this review off and urge you to go and pick up this series as well as all the other books before it so you can get a grasp on some of the other players that make appearances here, I just want to say one final thing…if there’s one thing I enjoy most about MC books, it’s the brotherhood. The family dynamic here. The way these people who stem from all levels of society and are thrown together by the pasts they’ve lived and ghosts they’re trying to escape, come together and in the end, are all Property of Parrish.

God it’s a beautiful thing. The same way this story was. The same way these bruised people are.

And that’s what makes this book, the second in the Nomad series, but probably my favorite so far, such a phenomenal read. The beauty hidden beneath the pain and destruction.

My thanks to the author and all others involved in letting me receive an ARC of this book before it’s official release. This was a journey, just like the others that I won’t soon forget and I’ll carry with me always.

Bring on the next one!

This book covered the same timeline as the last book for about 3/4 of it, but this time we saw events from Cobra's point of view. I found his past to be tragic, he lost so much. His running into Celeste was both good and bad. I liked that they had this second chance, liked that they were able to find what they had and start to build on what they would have if Cobra's sister hadn't gone missing.

Towards the end everything seemed to build. It didn't surprise me that Celeste had a breakdown, even Cobra's breakdown didn't surprise me, he was lashing out and it's easy to hurt those that you love. What did surprise me was Jack visiting Celeste and his promise to her.

I was glad that things ended well for everyone, especially as it was iffy for a while. I do wonder how the lost soul that Deuce is babysitting will play into things. I'm sure that we will find out in the next book.

[Shirl · Rating 5 out of 5]

When you experience one of the deepest griefs possible at a young age it changes you...it changes everyone around you. You can go all around the country in search of answers but once you return home and try to live the life you was meant to live is when you will find what you was searching for.

Jagger "Cobra"and Celeste suffered a great loss as kids and it changed them. After awhile Jagger had to disappear to get Celeste to go live her life and to try and find answers for his family. All he got was more questions. He's back now and everything is either going to go to h*ll or they will find peace.

Never give up on someone who is worth it. Keep searching but be prepared for what you find might be different than what you lost.

Can't wait for the next book... going to be a late night because I'm starting it now.

Janine did it again. She made me fall in love with another Satan Knight. I love Cobra and this book was amazing. The connection between Cobra and Celeste is so strong it gave my goosebumps. What they go through to be together is heartbreaking. I can't give to much away so I'll say this. This book made me laugh and cry. It was one of those books you couldn't put down but wanted to so you would not finish it. I didn't want this book to end. I can't wait for the next Satan Knight to come out.

[A Book Lover's Emporium Book Blog · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wanderer has everything a good MC book should have; a strong and rough Alpha male with issues, an equally strong female lead, a story with violence and hot sex and an ending that delivers a punch. I was impressed.

The timeline for Wanderer runs parallel, for the most part, with that of book 1 of the series- Drifter. This had the potential to be repetitive, however author Janine Infante Bosco wrote the crossover scenes from different perspectives. This allowed readers to get a deeper understanding of the story, and made a book of fiction seem more real.

This story is epic! We not only get the past issues discovered from book 1, but we also have the whole back story of our leads, Cobra and Celeste. This blast from the past involves teen love, kidnapping, death and betrayal. Fast forward to the present and more trouble finds Cobra and Celeste. Just when we think life has worked in their favour, BAM! More drama unfolds. Although it sounds hard to follow, the story flows and develops at an even pace.

I would recommended reading book 1 of this series first, however the previous series which Nomad Series stems from, doesn't need to have been read to enjoy Wanderer. I have yet to check out The Tempted series, but I will be reading them in the near future!

This is the second book in the Nomad Series, and it is Cobra and Celeste's story.

Cobra and Celeste met and fell in love when they were both just kids. When tragedy strikes, they are there for one another through some pretty horrible days. That is until Cobra vanishes one day without so much as a goodbye.

For years, Cobra has traveled the country as a nomad biker. He is driven by his thirst for revenge. When he finally realizes that he will never get the revenge he seeks, he decides to return home and hang up his nomad status for good. Upon his return, the first thing he wants to do is seek out Celeste, but he refrains. In his eyes, she is better off without him in her life. However, tragedy strikes once again bringing Celeste back into his life, and he knows deep down in his bones that his life will never be the same.

My book bestie, Renee, first introduced me to the "awesomeness" that is Janine Infante Bosco, and I have been hooked ever since. I swear I am like a junkie needing a fix whenever I know she is releasing a new book! Her writing style really is in a league of it's own, and her characters are always real and super easy to relate to. I fell head over heels for Cobra and Celeste! Their story is one of first love, heartbreak, and second chances. It is also filled with many twists and turns that are sure to keep you glued to your kindle. If you are looking for an exciting read that is so much more than boy meets girl, this is the book for you!!

Wonderful!

Wanderer is wonderful! It's gripping, exciting and extremely sexy, there are so many twist and turns. Questions answered and more questions asked. The excitement is off the charts and will have your head spinning. I'm in love with the characters, this series just keeps getting better and better.

Celeste and Cobra are childhood sweethearts. She is his sisters best friend. When his sister is kidnapped she is all he has left and they get each other through some hard times. Until he leaves, vanishes without a goodbye.

Cobra is a wanderer. A nomad for years, out to avenge his sisters death. He decides to come back home and settle with a chapter in his home town. Coming full circle his life will never be the same. Thank God.

This is truly an exciting loveable book. Oh yeah, tears will be shed and so many questions will be revealed. I can't wait for the next book. I'm so loving this series.

5 stars!! Absolutely loved Wanderer. Celeste and Cobra were amazing. The history and heartache they shared at an early age, would they ever be able to make it stick? Could they finally fit the pieces together and make it work, or would life tear them apart again? Janine did an amazing job with this story. I already want Deuce's story! (hurry up Janine lol)

Just dayum

I literally have no words for this book. What an AMAZING story. This was my first book by this author, and I will be coming back easily. The story is focused on Cobra and Chel. They have a powerful history and have not read the previous book you can follow along easy. This book had it all and then some. I was pulled in from the beginning and wanted more. The H/h have such a beautiful chemistry, but lots of twists and heartache. I can not wait to read the next book in the series. Trust me grab this book it will grab your heart and cause a major book hangover.

Title: Wanderer
Author: Janine Infante Bosco

4 unexpected stars



The Wanderer is the first novel I've read by Janine Infante Bosco and being the second book in her series, I was pleased to realize that i had no problems whatsoever following this story. I only regret not having discovered this series sooner because this author has a way of making you more curious about what she writes and exactly what's hidden in her books. Wanderer tells the story of Cobra and Celeste as they try to find what they once had - the love and hope that helped them get through all the negative aspects in their lives until an even tore them apart and changed them in ways they never saw coming. As the find each other, they'll have to decide what more important - revenge or each other.

4 breath taking dreams



I loved watching these two - the struggle, the ups and downs and even their relationship as it bloomed. I often wondered as the story unfolded how Cobra would be able to chose or even cope with how things turned out and whether or not Celeste was more important than any of his previous plans. Janine Infante Bosco created a story that I'll remember for much time and can't wait to not only read her previous novels, but also find out what else she has in store for her readers.

Jagger and Celeste had everything until his sister/her best friend gets taken. Jagger then with the death of his parents, Celeste blames herself for swapping shifts, and Jagger decides to get his own revenge on Yankovich, although this changes him into Cobra who is cold hearted. When going to meet a target he never expected to see Celeste, sitting with his target, he changes his plan to quickly get Celeste away from her date.

Cobra & Celeste met when they were in mid school and have been together ever since. Cobra’s twin sister - Alexandria and Celeste were best friends and the trio was always together. When Cobra and Celeste were 14 they started having more than friend feelings towards each other. However, when Alexandria never came home one night no one knew if she was murdered, or kidnapped she just disappeared. A year after she disappeared the police still had no leads. Cobra was brushed aside by his parents and he dropped out of school and off of the football team. Celeste still tried to be with him. Cobra just never knew where to turn. Celeste’s family considered Cobra a son even though he wasn’t but they tried to bring him into their family.

Cobra and his family disappeared one night leaving Celeste. A few years later Celeste and Cobra run into each other again when she’s on a date with someone else. Of course Cobra takes her away in the middle of the date. Then Cobra disappears again. One thing he is good at is disappearing.

Two years later Celeste is working as a nurse in the ER at her hospital when a biker gang comes in after an explosion. Cobra is among them. Celeste treats the injured people while also keeping an eye on Cobra. After a few weeks of the MC crew in the hospital they start talking and hanging around each other and reconnecting.

Cobra knows he will always have people after him and he does t want Celeste to get hurt any more than he’s already done.

Will Celeste be able to help his MC crew? Will Celeste be able to share the secret she kept from him for the past 2 years? Will they finally be able to put the past behind them or did the past just catch up with them again?

I did receive a free ARC copy of this book. I am freely leaving an honest review.

This is the journey of Cobra and Celeste, and I'm not giving anything else away, except my dramatic girly girl emotions that are out in force! See, this author is one of my very favorite authors of all time, so it stands to reason that I'm going to LOVE LOVE LOVE whatever she puts out, but I'm here to tell you that she's raised her own bar of pure excellence even higher with Wanderer, in my opinion. First of all the emotional feels are off the chains painful, like I was physically filled with their pain the whole journey, and I just wanted to slap sense into them more than once, and yet, made my eyes puffy from leaking more than once. Then the dirty HOT moments were so FIERY, that not a pair of panties will be left standing. Twists and turns were around every corner, and between the pants on fire, and leaky eyes, loud f-bombs were ripped out of me many, many times. Janine Infante Bosco has an extremely brilliant writing style that instantly, as usual, drew me into the story, AND kept my heart racing cover to cover! Probably have said this before, but I don't bother even reading any blurbs at this point, just read the book because I know that I'm going to LOVE it, no matter if it's her grocery list. Now, I've put her on my list of authors trying to KILL ME, but she's flew up the list with a few words in a chapter, (she knows what I'm talking about!), that nearly stopped my heart, and so I'm going to dub her QUEEN of #EVILWHORES in my land of #EVILWHOREDOM FOREVER AND EVER! In fact, I'm still extremely pissed and jacked up days later! PLUS the look ahead left me dying as well, so I can say with surety that THE NEXT BOOK CANNOT COME OUT QUICKLY ENOUGH to satisfy my craving for The Nomad Series! To wrap up this review full of feelings, fan girl gushing, and at times, name calling, I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND Wanderer to any and everyone who enjoys reading!

Wow could this story have gotten any better then what it did. I loved it and couldn't but it down for anything. The characters are super great. AS with any story from Janine I was shocked to the bones on how this one played out. I think from reading the other stories before hand I kinda knew of the characters and really couldn't wait to see how their story was gonna turn out. The love and anger you could really feel come off the pages. The last few chapters of this story had me on edge waiting to see what was happening with every page turn. To say I was completely shocked with the ending and what happened leading up to the ending was WOW. Like not enough words can go into how I feel for what has happened. I was sad that this story ended I really could of had more of Celeste and Cobra, I fell like there story was just starting!! I loved it and have to mark this story as a MUST READ!!! Cover to cover every word needs to be soaked up.

***I received this ARC for free in exchange for my honest thoughts***

Janine Infante Bosco has done it yet again. She not only has you sucked in from the prologue but she gives you a story that will tug at your heart all the way to the end. And that ending like all others Ms. Bosco has given us will have you yearning for the next book.

My heart was racing and my stomach was doing flips page after page. I'm loving the men of Satan's Knights MC.

In Wanderer we have Cobra's story. He has a past he's never forgotten. 12 years and he's still searching. He's a lonely man, a wanderer, once a nomad now part of the Satan's Knights Brooklyn charter. His past and present were never supposed to become one. But what happens when your biggest regret is standing right in front of you. Will he let in the woman he let go or will he risk it all to keep her?

If you are anything like me you will be a hot mess when you finish. But I'm ready to jump into the next book in this series.
