First Book in the Wrecked Duet- Can be read as a standalone set. Life is simply life. It’s unfair and sometimes cruel. I should know. Since the moment I first drew breath, I was an orphan. Unwanted. Unloved. The small blonde girl everyone picked on. My story isn’t one of happiness, if that’s what you’re thinking. The person I love most in the world is gone. And in the darkness I’ve been reborn, … darkness I’ve been reborn, into a person I don’t recognize.
Her name’s Rosie. In the beginning, when our love first began, that name meant something different. That’s when the light won, always overcoming the dark. Where hope and happiness flourished.
Now it means…. death for those who harm.
I love this new me as much as anyone without a soul can love something.
Life is simply life… and with it comes vengeance.

“Too bad a wrecked soul can’t kill you.”
I met Rosie while reading the Sacred Sinners MC – Texas Chapter series, but she’s been a closed book as far as her past is concerned. She’s a badass bitch who doesn’t like to chat or be touched. She is full of pain and secrets and I have been beside myself curious to know how she ended up at that point in her life. That is exactly what Wrecked & Restless tells me, everything I wanted to know about her past.
I can’t give you details, the synopsis is enough for you to know it’s bad. Her story is gonna break your heart and piss you off. You’ll be heartbroken and raging right along with her. I’m guessing that like me, you’ll also be cheering her on as she develops her badassery skills. Her tragic past fuels her rage and when she finds a way to make use of her specialized skills this story revs into high gear and takes the reader on a hair raising ride.
Once the Sacred Sinners MC entered Rosie’s life the story took a high octane turn and I couldn’t wait for the explosion I knew was coming. I have to tell you, the final pages were so damn good I wanted to cry when it ended. I can’t wait to get my hands on more #HotBikerBoy, (aka HBB). The line forms here…
Omg Bink what in the ever loving hell did I just read!!! Like that ending what the hell, I want more I can’t believe how hard I fell for this story I loved it from the very first page to all the tears in between and then that ending wow, just wow. Every page has something new and emotionally claiming you to the story, everything that the main character feels you feel tenfold. Head over heels in love with the writing and how the story unfolds I got lost over and over in the story. Best thing I have read and really goes well with the other stories in the series. I liked out it was by itself then comes together with the other stories like Bam here you go. Tissues where needed the first half of the story I really felt for Rosie. This strong independent woman has just had her like turned a full 360. as the story goes on you really get to see her strength makes this even better of a story if you ask me. MUST READ
Bink Cummings has proven she can hang with the best when writing anything from characters joking around to serious drama making the reader cry. Not just cry a few tears but ugly cry. You feel the characters’ emotions in such a visceral manner you can’t put the book down; you have to know more. That is what you can expect from this book. A true look at life.
Yes the book ends on a “cliffhanger” but it is like watching Lord of the Rings at the movies. You get so enthralled that when it ends you are like, “NO!!! That’s it?” Now you must wait patiently.
I rarely give 5 stars but this book touched me. I felt every emotion. I was the lead character. Bink Cummings pulled me into her world briefly and it was a beautiful tragedy.
Read this book.
I’ve been a fan of Bink Cummings since the beginning. Her books about hot, protective bikers and strong, sassy women are some of my favorites.
I was intrigued with Rosie while reading the Sacred Sinners- Texas Chapter trilogy, which I highly recommend reading before Wrecked and Restless.
Rosie is my new favorite BC female. Her strength is inspiring.
Wrecked and Restless is my new favorite BC book.
What Rosie went through during her life is nothing I expected. Through the violence, heartbreak, and despair, Rosie became a bada**. She’s a survivor. A warrior.
And the cover. Stunning.
5 Stars

Wrecked and Restless by Bink Cummings is definitely a roller coaster. She will have your emotions all over the place. It’s not very often that a book makes me cry, but this one did. Bink Cummings may have you on a roller coaster of emotions, but it’s an action-packed one!
Rosie is a girl that has had a difficult life and when you think okay, she’s hit rock bottom, something else happens that is awful. Yet through all her trials and tribulations Rosie picks herself up off the floor and makes the best of the situation and commands herself to handle it.
Rosie is an orphan. She was bounced from foster home to foster home. Eventually, she finally found one that would let her stick around for longer than six months. While there, she is able to take a free karate class. She may be the only girl there but it soon becomes her sanctuary. The sensei takes her under his wing and shows her what having a father was supposed to feel like. She earns a third-degree black belt while learning other aspects of throwing stars, knives, and other weapons.
Upon her and Johnny marrying, she follows him to California where he is stationed in the armed forces. In an atrocious turn of events, she must learn to pick up the pieces and continue her life. She finds a quaint little town where she can finally work on finding peace and solace but the world seems to be on a mission to see just what she’s made of. Rosie is a fighter and she fights until she can’t fight anymore because of a letter that was given to her back in California…
Loved it
Heartbreaking utterly heartbreaking.
We’ve met Rosie, now we get her story and oh gosh what a story it is. My heart….. my heart cries for this girl. How can one person take so much?
What hurts will only make you stronger, is that how the saying goes? If so, Rosie will come out blazing. We get the story of how she is what she is and how she meets Big. And boy is it a dosie. I love this character and I can’t wait to see where we gone in the second book. Anxiously waiting…….

Amazing!
Wrecked & Restless is the fourth book in the Sacred Sinners – Texas Chapter by author Bink Cummings. Even though this is the fourth book in the series, it is also the first book in a new duet. You can start reading Wrecked & Restless, without reading the others in the series, but I do feel it’s best to read them from the beginning. This will give you a better foundation and help you understand some of the backstories.
Wrecked & Restless tells us Rosie’s story, and I have wanted to read it since she was introduced in the third book, Hopelessly Devoted. Her tale is heartbreaking, gritty, and intense, and I admire how strong of a woman she is. This book does give us a lot of Rosie’s background, and it sets the stage of their relationship. Their story was emotional, and it’s best to look at the warning label before beginning.
Rosie has been through so much, and I was utterly captivated throughout the whole book. I cannot wait for the next in the series!!

What a ride. This book gutted me to the core, had me in more than one ugly cry, put me through an emotional roller coaster and I loved every minute of it.
Wrecked & Restless by Bink Cummings is book four in her Sacred Sinners MC- Texas Chapter series. Wrecked & Restless can be read as standalone. For better understanding I recommend to read the books in order. The previous books are Hopelessly Shattered, Hopeful Whispers and Hopelessly Devoted – Kat and Ryker’s story. These books are marvelous, fantastic reads , not standalones and best read in order.
Back to Wrecked & Restless. It’s Rosie’s story and I always wanted to know more about her. And now I got more. Rosie has had a rough life. She has the scars to prove it, visible and invisible. She had to endure more than ever a human being should have to endure and my heart was breaking for this strong heroine. Rosie, I bow to you! It’s a highly emotional story, masterfully crafted,an addicting read. I started reading and was in insta-love with Rosie and her story. I read the book, cover to cover in one sitting, it’s unputdownable, promise. The story put me through a roller coaster of emotions, I was sad, my heart was bleeding for the characters, I was happy and at some point I was angry at the characters. I met friends and enemies from previous books and I loved it – go Big.
Wrecked & Restless is a very fitting title. I can’t express how much I love the exquisite writing and the fantstic story. Only so much, I’m in love with the author’s characters and every time a new book releases, I fall in love again and again. I couldn’t for the life of me pick one favorite read by her. They’re all my precious- read and re-read them all the time – and Wrecked & Restless is no exception. I highly recommed the book and give 5++ stars.
This is no hearts and roses story. You’ll need a box of tissues. Rosie’s strength and a few people along the way have made a difference. You’ll follow her through childhood, teens and early twenties, and then…
Something happened that woke her up and gave her purpose. During her change, she did something she never did. She asked for help from a big bad biker. Big Dick, the president, was taken with her. Oh not so much sexually but her fierce strength and abilities no one would expect. The club and her life goal meshed. Her relationship with the club led her to spend time with people. Not her lifestyle. Would she soften and find friendship? What about the man who threatens to claim her?
While the first part of the story ripped my heart apart, watching Rosie find purpose and the teaser for part two have more than made me enjoy this book. Readers met Rosie in another book in the series. She is just one of those characters you have to know more about. I’m ready for her next step.
5 Wrecked Stars!!!
I have been anxiously waiting for Rosie’s story ever since Bink Cummings released The Hope Trilogy. She was an amazing character who I wouldn’t wanna piss off.
We meet Rosie before she was the Rosie she is today in her life. Instead she’s an innocent 8yr old girl, with no family, friends or a place to truly call home. This stayed that way until she joined karate and everything started to change for Rosie.
Rosie spends as much time learning her craft. She’s earned a double black belt and with the help of her sensei she’s a pro at throwing stars and other weapons. Rosie meets Johnny and at first wants nothing to do with him.
Over the next few years they become best friends, dating and eventually married. Rosie’s life completely did a 180 and she’s never been happier. When Johnny joined the armed forces nether one of them thought their lives would end up like they did and they’re both barely surviving. If you could call it surviving.
The only reason Rosie continues getting up everyday is bc she carries Johnny’s words in her head telling her to survive. Just as she’s figuring out how to do that she meets somebody else and Rosie’s life will never be the same.
Rosie goes on her own mission. That mission brings her face to face with Big and The Sacred Sinners MC. This turns into an opportunity for both sides. That leads us to the storyline in The Hope Trilogy.
There was two things I’ve been dying to know about Rosie. First was what turned her into the badass killer she is. I also wanted to know how she got mixed up with Big and The Sacred Sinners MC. ESP since in previous books Big has always, always had the upmost respect for Rosie. He also seemed to trust her as much as he did those closest to him like Gunz. I always wanted to know the details of them.
Seeing her first interaction with Kat, Ryker and Kade. Seeing it in her POV was priceless. I’m looking forward to Rosie finally getting her HEA and hopefully with a specific hot biker.
This is the first book in Rosie’s specific story. But, if I were you I’d read The Hope Trilogy first. There are definite triggers in this story so if you have triggers, go into this story with that in mind.
I knew … KNEW … that Rosie’s story was going to be epic. And I totally NAILED IT!! What I did not know was just how much Bink Cummings was going to put her character through. But everything that happened to Rosie created the character that readers met in the Hope trilogy. And that girl is completely and utterly badass in a way that the men can’t even match. She always appeared so fearless and strong .. and she totally is, but readers also get to see the vulnerable and emotional side of what makes up this complex character.
This is going to be short and sweet because I think that readers need to experience Rosie’s story without knowing what is in it. Wrecked & Restless will definitely put readers through an emotional roller coaster. What Rosie experienced is heartbreaking and reading how her character persevered was awesome!
I will also say that if you haven’t read the Hope trilogy (Hopelessly Shattered, Hopeful Whispers, and Hopelessly Devoted) then you really need too. These books introduce Rosie to readers and we get to see the awesomeness of her. But be prepared. Her story is dark and painful, but breeds a strength that is absolutely phenomenal.
Overall opinion … a dark and twisted path of strength, redemption, and resolution that is a phenomenal read that I totally and completely enjoyed. Now I am on pins and needles to see what happens next. So, highly recommend and happy reading!
Wrecked & Restless was the first book of a duet within the Sacred Sinners MC – Texas Chapter, and the fourth book of the series.
The story is heartbreaking, intriguing, emotional, full of rage, angst, and much more. I absolutely loved the way Kylie Stewart and Eric Rolon brough this intense and incredible story to life. Their performance was utterly brilliant.
I recommend that you should consider listening to this amazing first part of the duet. Is just absolutely fantastic! Can’t wait for the conclusion!!
Wrecked & Restless is the fourth book in the Sacred Sinners MC Series that I listened to on audio narrated by Kylie Stewart and Eric Rolon.
This book is also the first book in the Wrecked Duet Series. So you can read it as a stand-alone set from the Sacred Sinners MC Series.
All I can say is Wow! Bink did an amazing job with this storyline. She had me crying like a baby multiple times in the first hour and half of this book. I cannot wait for Wrecked & Reclaimed to be released on audio.
Kylie and Eric did an amazing job on the Duet Narration. I absolutely love these two together. Kylie brought so much emotion in the narration that you could truly feel the pain that Rosie was going through.

Juliette meets Johnny when he starts karate her nickname was Rosie. The two start of with a great future with lots to look forward to unfortunately life doesn’t go as planned. The story is very emotional and I will admit to shedding a few tears.
A chance meeting with big and mutual respect has her joining his team.
The book gives you a true insight into what lead Rosie to be the new club’s hit person.
I’m desperate to read wrecked & reclaimed the conclusion to this book & bk 5 in the saints & sinners mc.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced audio copy.
Emotional story
This is not a traditional love story at all.
It’s the back story of Rosie from childhood to present.
It’s unreal, it’s sad, it’s tragic and will leave you a mess.
But you will keep going to see what happens..
Rosie is powerful a survivor. Kade has meet his match in Rosie Don’t for get to read the next book Wrecked and Reclaimed You will not be disappointed

Wrecked & Restless was the first book of a duet within the Sacred Sinners MC – Texas Chapter by Bink Cummings. It was the fourth book of the series.
We met Rosie in previous books as the hired bodyguard for Kat’s protection. We knew she was an assassin, worked alone, was emotionally stunted and had a story, but we didn’t know any details. Wrecked & Restless took us back to the beginning and detailed her life until it merged with where we met her in previous books.
It was a heartbreaking story and not one I would have expected. It could contain a trigger for some. As typical with a duet, it set the stage for the full story, kept me intrigued as to what will come in book two, and left the ending wide open (although not an explosive cliff hanger) as if it were chapters within the same book and expecting the last half of the book to start on the next page. Of course I prefer the story within one book, but thankfully the conclusion is already published in book two, Wrecked & Reclaimed. Onward and upward….
This is a raw and heartbreaking but powerful book that is brilliantly written!!!
“Every bit of me blackens. My soul. My heart. My insides dry up and turn to ash. And it hurts, every single second of it is like dying a thousand fiery deaths. Yet, I still breathe. There’s air in my damn lungs.”
Bink’s ingenious writing and character development is phenomenal. She has a way to captivate you into the story so you can live it… feel it ……and breathe it!!!!
Rosie’s story is not for the faint heart. It’s intense, emotional and painful. At one point I actually felt numb. I didn’t know what to think. I just completely broke down and cried. This book was that bold!!! “Tipping my head back, I close my eyes, tears slipping free as I expel a heavy breath. The hollowness in my chest intensifies, rotting me from the inside out. Maybe the next time I fall asleep, I’ll never wake up again”
I have read ALL of Bink’s books and I loved every one of them. But this book has my stole heart!!!! It is now my very favorite book by Bink! I can’t wait for the second in this series!
Thank you Bink for a 5 SPECTACLULAR SHINING STAR read!!!
