When your life spirals out of control you do one of two things: you let it or you stand up and defeat the demons that threaten you.Amanda Benson faced a similar experience and ran from it, leaving Edinboro without a trace. She worked hard to get her life together and realized that to fully succeed in building a new life she had to go back and face the old one.When she arrives back in town, a … back in town, a chance encounter changes her life. She’s given a home, a job, and a family. She believes that she is on the right track. That is until she falls in love with the man that made it all happen.
Nothing can take away the heartbreak that she suffers while she watches him love the woman from his past. Not even the comfort she finds in the arms of another man can take away the pain.
Desperately searching for a love to last a lifetime, Amanda is too blind to see that the man who truly loves her is the man that she believes will destroy her.
Jealousy threatens to take hold and—if she isn’t careful— will ultimately destroy her and any chance she may have at having her own happy ever after.

**Audio Review**
Raw Honey is book four of the knights of Silence MC series yet I haven’t read any of the first three. I however didn’t feel lost and missing anything in the story. I will now need to listen to the others because I enjoyed this one so much. Honey is returning home after the running away from it years before. She has been through a lot and even though she is coming home she is still hiding from her past. When Ice finds her in the side of the road and then takes her into his club, she finally finds the family she so desperately needed. However she is all over the map with her feeling for the men in her life and her journey is far from over. There is a lot of Ice’s story here too and I loved how it all merged together. There is so much more to come!! The narration was brilliant by Maya May Bravo and Mark Bravo. Such a wonderful audio duet. Overall a great listen and now I need to get caught up on all the series.
Ohhhhhh this is my favourite of the series so far! I absolutely love seeing the events from a different viewpoint. It really gave a huge amount of depth to the story. Maya May Bravo and Mark Bravo do a fabulous job with the narration, I love when the characters feel so familiar and sound the same from book to book! I didn’t really consider Honey much in the other books so it was great to get to know her better. And where it was left…wow! I need to know what happens next soooooo badly. But I also feel bad for one of the characters…
Assuming you’ve read or listened to the first 3 books, Raw Honey is somewhat of refresher. We go back to the beginning and get Honey’s take on everything that’s happened so far. Beyond that, we get a look into Honey’s past and her struggles with addiction, getting clean, finding her new family in the MC, falling in love with Ice, watching Ice fall in love with Emma, her friendship with Hawk and her meeting Sainte. I’m not sure how I feel about Honey, there are times I definitely don’t like her, so I will have to wait for the author the hopefully redeem her in the next book, Sainte.
Mark & Maya did a great job narrating. I could feel all of the emotions.
This is the fourth book in the Knights of Silence MC Series. It was interesting to revisit some scenes from the previous books with Honey’s point of view. We also learn more about her past, and her love life. She is a strong and complex character. Saint is an intriguing character! I can’t wait to have his story. Mark Bravo and Maya Bravo did a great job with the narration. Looking forward to listen to the next book in the Series, Loving The Enemy.
This story is written in Honey’s POV. Honey found her place in the MC world and earned their trust. She fell in love with Ice from the beginning. He told her he wasn’t looking for an Old Lady, just a good time. Honey hoped he would eventually change his mind. All her hopes came shattering down, when Emma was in danger and returned to Ice’s life.
Amy Cecil makes this story interesting by letting us in the thoughts of Honey. All her raw emotions, jealousy, confusion, regret, turmoil, are exposed. Her ongoing struggle with addiction and the reason behind the choices she made. How her friendship eventually developed with Emma. One thing that Honey wanted to do was to make amends with her ex fiance, but ended up shattering his world. In this story we see a helpless Amanda/Honey return home , to develop into a woman full of spark, sass, confidence and inner strength.
Maya Bravo and Mark Bravo are excellent narrators. They just don’t tell this story, they live it. They emote every Feeling of love, anger, angst, fear, pain, humor and sarcasm of every character in this story. Bringing all the characters to life. I loved listening to it.

Emotions can be so confusing and for Honey this is definitely the case. We see her struggle through the whole book trying to find her other half and by the end we find that they may be possible, but you will have to wait to see what happens. Such a fun listen and I can’t wait for the next.
Raw Honey by Amy Cecil is a motorcycle club romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Mark Bravo and Maya Bravo. This is the forth book in the Knights of Silence MC Series that does end on a cliffhanger.
I absolutely love Amy’s books! I loved getting the story from Honey’s point of view. I cannot wait to see what happens with Honey and Sainte in the next book in the series Sainte.
Mark and Maya did a great job on the narration. I can’t wait to listen to more of their projects in the future.

Raw Honey
Knights of Silence MC, Book 4
By: Amy Cecil
Narrated by: Maya May Bravo, Mark Bravo
Amy Cecil continues to keep enthralled with her Knights of Silence Series. Raw Honey is just that! Honey is a tough character. Coming to the MC needing shelter and a job, Ice takes her in and she becomes one of the family. Her growing feelings for Ice are quickly halted with the return of Emma and the true Honey comes to the surface. Now we get the real feel of this woman. She is broken and for me, I think she hasn’t quite gotten to like herself enough yet. Complex and still seeking that true love, she finds safety with Hawke, and unbridled lust with Saint. It’s frustrating and fascinating to see her learn about herself and grow. i loved returning to important scenes of the story we had witnessed from other points of view, really rounding out the story. There are a lot of unanswered questions and Cecil does end on a cliffhanger, so it just leaves us wanting more of this tantalizing series.
Mark and Maya Bravo continue their wonderful narration. I am loving this pair. Mark is fantastic with his many voices of the MC. From Rebel’s Irish brogue to Saint’s attitude, he brings them all to life. Maya is incredible as the women. She finds Emma’s sweetness and Honey’s brokenness and voices them perfectly. These two are this series and I am thrilled to listen to them.

I hated Honey, hated her. I was sad that in the previous books, I kind liked her and was happy that she took Ice’s and Emma relationship well, I guess that must have been wishful thinking. I mean I get that you can’t just turn off your feelings but I would have respected her better if she lied to herself or didn’t play with Hawk’s feelings. Her inner rants about Emma pissed me off, I thought she was a better woman than that, and I feel she needs to apologize because Emma has been nothing but nice to her, she treated her to a spa day and was genuinely trying to be her friend..Yeah can’t stand Honey anymore. Yeah and am tired of this author leaving us with a cliffhanger-, yeah I like series have no problem with them but I do not like to be left hanging
Honey was found on the side of the road near the MC club house and town by Ice the President of the MC. Wondering where she should go from there. Ice took her to the club house. Gave her a home, a job, and a family. She felt safe. Honey thought she had everything or did she? She thought she had and loved Ice. Until the day a past love came back into Ices club and right back into his life. Hawk and Honey were finally going to give it a try. This is until Ice was arrested because of Emma. Vince Ice’s lawyer and Sainte Emma’s new bodyguard and a trusted friend of Ice’s comes into town. Honey didn’t trust Sainte from the minute she saw him. Honey thinks Sainte is wanting Emma. Until the night Sainte kisses Honey and sends her world into a tale spin. What happens? What will Honey do? One click and read to see what happens. You won’t regret it. Thank you Amy for another amazing book.
Another delicious, golden gem by Amy Cecil!! As a reader, I do hereby declare that this author must keep writing! 🙂 The title of the book does an incredible job of subtly letting the reader know that there are raw and intense emotions coming out as the book progresses, all the while the author has written the story in such a way that the audience can experience what the characters are feeling. The growth the protagonist endures is both heart-breaking and empowering as she finally seems to settle in her own skin. This book can be read as a standalone, however to fully appreciate and understand the depth of the heroine and events throughout it is advised to read them in order. It’s definitely worth it though!! Be warned! Once this story has been picked up it will be glued to the reader’s hand far past the ending. It is a book which will linger, forever loved and begging to be reread always.
In this epic tale, Amanda aka Honey finds herself back in Edinboro running from her past mistakes. Caden aka Ice meets up with her and offers her a safe place in the Knights MC. As Honey becomes familiar with the club, she realizes trouble is brewing for club.
What trouble you say, you must read to find out.
As with her other novels, Ms Cecil creates a vividly imagined sensory world. Her character Honey, speaks with an authentic voice as she struggles to cope with her past and the present. Cecil’s other characters are just as authentic and the role they play is clearly drawn. This tale has all the “feels.” I simply can’t get enough of her books about the MC life. Well done Ms. Cecil

This is a great story. We have a better understanding of Honey. Amy has written a wonderful story of overcoming ones past. A must read.
If you have read the Knights of Silence MC series from the beginning than half of this book is a refresher of what happened in ICE. Yes we get to see it from Honey’s point of view but I was wanting more. We do get to know Honey’s back ground. I just need more if her. I feel like I still don’t know her as well as some of the other characters. I hope she gets an HEA. I am looking forward to the next book.
Raw Honey
By: Amy Cecil
When your life spirals out of control you do one of two things: you let it or you stand up and defeat the demons that threaten you.
Amanda Benson faced a similar experience and ran from it, leaving Edinboro without a trace. She worked hard to get her life together and realized that to fully succeed in building a new life she had to go back and face the old one.
When she arrives back in town, a chance encounter changes her life. She’s given a home, a job, and a family. She believes that she is on the right track. That is, until she falls in love with the man that made it all happen.
Nothing can take away the heartbreak that she suffers while she watches him love the woman from his past. Not even the comfort she finds in the arms of another man can take away the pain.
Desperately searching for a love to last a lifetime, Amanda is too blind to see that the man who truly loves her is the man that she believes will destroy her.
Jealousy threatens to take hold and—if she isn’t careful— will ultimately destroy her and any chance she may have at having her own happy ever after.
My take on this book:
Raw Honey is a never boring insight of the Knights of Silence club life. Looking into Honeys life will open your eyes to so many emotions. Beautiful Crazy is the only words to describe this book. To see everything from someone’s POV that isn’t one of the main players is so interesting. This can be read without reading the others but I recommend reading thebother 3 Knights books first. I can not wait to see what happens.
Till the next book ~ Nancy
Well here’s a thought, Raw Honey was exactly what I expected, all the dang emotions, angst, and history of what was to become one of the best books in Amy Cecil’s collection!!
Amanda a recovering addict has come back to Edinboro but sits alongside the road before heading into town but doesn’t know what to do! Along comes Ice the president of the local MC club and all becomes history. I will not ruin the story for you, because you have to read it youself to believe it, Amy Cecil’s gift of creating word is unbelievable, she creates her characters with such love and understanding to make them as they are today!!
Congratulations on this outstanding book!!
OMG, this is such an emotional book, I loved it, it is written from Honey’s perspective, as she tells her story from the beginning when she comes back to Edinboro after getting clean and is sitting outside the clubhouse when Ice finds her and gives her a home, job and family, it progresses through the events of the three books and carries on from the last page of book three, if you have read that book then you will know what I am talking about, but I am not going to spoil it for anyone new, and I can honestly say that I am not a fan of Honey, however, you really need to grab this as it’s exciting and action packed and fast paced. Anyway, there is a new face amongst the club and to say I was upset with a certain someone and rather sad is an understatement.
I would definitely recommend this, it was one I couldn’t put down and will be reading again and I can’t wait for book 5.
I received a copy and I am voluntarily leaving my own honest opinion.
Leaving her would be husband at the altar and pawning her engagement ring for drugs, Amanda Benson was in a bad place, so she left Edinboro with no plans to return. Except now she’s back, she’s clean, and she has no one to turn to. Sitting outside of an MC club, she’s silently hoping for a fresh start when Ice comes and takes her in.
She’s given the nickname, Honey, a home, and a ready-made family in the members of the club. She fits right in as their mother hen, cooking their meals and taking care of them. While she instantly hits it off with Hawk, she has her eyes set on Ice, and while they do make a go of it for a while, when Emma returns to Ice after so many years apart, he only has eyes for Emma. Honey is feeling a bit sore at being left behind, but she starts to form a friendship with Emma, and she puts her hurt feelings on the backburner.
Honey has a clear sense of right and wrong and when she sees wrong, she goes after it with a vengeance. So when Ice has Sainte come to the clubhouse to help out, things get turned upside down, and Honey is having none of that. She becomes hostile and vocal, she wants things to be as they should be. While she’s made great strides, she still has a lot of growing up to do and Sainte just might be the man to help her do just that.
Told in Honey’s point of view, we get an alternative look at previous events. We also get to meet Sainte, and the chemistry between him and Honey is explosive. I loved their instant connection and I love how assertive Sainte is, I think he is going to be really good for Honey. From reading the previous books I knew there was a lot of history in Honey and I couldn’t be happier that she got her chance to speak in Raw Honey. She’s sassy, she speaks her mind, and she knows what she wants. Cecil has done an amazing job not only in telling Honey’s story but in the Knights of Silence series. Very well done!
Another great addition to a favorite series!
We’ve met Honey/Amanda already but now we get her story. This book overlaps the timelines in previous books which I loved! It reminded me of past events and gave another perspective of them. I’m not going to say much about what happens as I tend to accidentally put spoilers. I will say I was doing a lot of “Oh no” “seriously” and “what!” during my reading experience. I loved the flow, just a good pace to keep my attention and having me anxious to read the next page. There are answers yet to be had and I will leave this review with this – I’m torn about my feelings for Honey and can’t wait to see which way they go in the next book!
Her addiction destroyed her chance at a happily ever after and sent her running like a thief in the night. She wanted to come home, but she didn’t want to face her past. Ice gave her the fresh start she was looking for. He gave her a job and a place to stay and over time she became his girl. He told her from the start that he wasn’t looking for an Old Lady, but it doesn’t make it hurt any less when the man she loves tosses her aside for his childhood love. Now she has to find her own happiness in the middle of Club chaos. Outside influences have her focusing her attention on the woman she believes is responsible for breaking up her MC family, but not everything is as it seems. Will Honey realize that love isn’t always safe and dependable? This story takes us on Honey’s emotional journey as she tries to find her way in an unpredictable world. The cliffhanger ending will have you screaming for more.
