The Satan's Knights MC New York #11
Shifting Gears
They're called one night stands for a reason...
I was never supposed to see Lydia Gallo again.
But grief can shake a man.
It can make him question his whole damn life, and hightail it out of Texas.
Now, back in New York, I'm a prospect for the Satan's Knights MC and the fiery bartender I shared one hot night with is back in my sights.
Taunting me.
Enticing me.
I should be focused on earning my colors and proving myself to this new club.
Yet all I want is Lydia Gallo back in my bed.
*Editorial note: Shifting Gears is the first book in the Satan's Knights Prospect Trilogy and is a spin-off from Khloe Wren's Charon MC universe. It can be read and enjoyed as a standalone.*

Oh Lydia... is that even your real name?
You tried my patience. You angered me. And I didn't like you.
Oh... were you waiting for me to soften the blow with something positive?
Sorry... I've got nothing.
However, Bash gets tons of love. He was super sweet and I loved how JIB brought him to life. From his southern twang to his swagger to his enormous heart, he was someone you just have to get to know. It was very easy to fall in love with him. There's even a scene between him Parrish that made him realize that he was Property of Parrish and it was absolutely perfect. I'm really looking forward to see him again in the books to come.

I absolutely love Bash. You get a taste of him in Losing Bash from Khloe Wren. This is the next part of his story. Bash in now back in New York after losing his mother trying to figure out how to move on with his life. He is a little lost. Lydia is the one that had what she believed to be a one night stand with Bash but he is now back and wants so much more. But she is keeping a huge secret from him that could destroy everything between them. At first the Satan Knight's think that it is the cartel coming after one of their own. Little do they know that is not what is going on. I absolutely love what is going on between Bash and Lydia. How she tries her hardest to keep her distance from him because of her past but it isn't so easy. Bash is just that person for her. Someone that is caring and wiling to be there for her no matter what . I love Janine and her writing. It is not only intense but the characters are amazing, intense and have amazing chemistry. This was a gripping storyline from beginning to end. I cant wait to get more from the Satan Knight's.

Great book...a shorter than average for this series but it was still good. This is about one of the new guys, Bas. It seems someone is after the women associated with the club. One message appeared to be a threat against one of the old ladies and the woman who runs the bar that the club uses for their meetings had her car tampered with. Of course there is someone who has a lot of secrets and that too could be the problem but who knows... I do since I read it but now it's your turn.
In the last book we seen how this series is going to spin off to another club ,Charon MC by Khloe Wren. We have a few more little bit of information about that club. Guess I know what series I'm reading next.
Great book with a bit of mystery, suspense and all the naughty bits.

Shifting Gears is the first book in the Satan's Knights Prospect Trilogy by Janine Infante Bosco. This trilogy is a spin off from Khloe Wren's Charon MC universe and it can be read as a standalone. But given the characters that lurk within the pages, I think it would be best read if read after the series. There's a lot of background club information I feel like I missed out on.
Bash is at a crossroads in his life. His mother just passed away and he legit has noone to turn to until he gets a text message from a one night stand he can't seem to forget about. Her text was simple, but it gave Bash a thread of hope and a need he's never felt before. A need for something more. So he heads to New York in search for all he wants and needs.
One night of passion in Bash's arms is the one time Lydia allowed herself to lose herself in something other than her fear. Bash was leaving for Texas in the morning and she would never see him again so what's the harm. But you see sometimes when people leave, they eventually come back.
No one knows that Lydia is on the run from a brutal past. She lives her life looking over her shoulder every few seconds for her past to final catch up with her. When Bash walks back into her life. She tries everything in her power to ignore the wants and needs threading through her heart and soul. But somethings just can't be ignored. And he might just end up being her white knight.
My Thoughts:
For starter's let me just say, I have a sudden need to go back in time and read Khloe Wren's Charon MC Series. I feel like I've missed out on a bunch of juicy reads just from getting a secondary character insight in Shifting Gears. Those books will definitely be added to my tbr soon.
At first glance, I was intrigued from the start. By the cover and the blurb, I knew I needed this book in my hands. I'm a sucker for MC Romances, the more MC rawness the better so of course I was all in and ready to read. I'm also fairly certain I never read a book from a prospects point of view before, which made it all the more intriguing for me.
Bash is unlike the normal MC character. This man is not only a southern gentleman but he's also a freaking sweetheart and very stubborn when it comes to what he wants. I couldn't get enough of this man!! I loved everything about him. without giving any spoilers away I want to add, I especially loved how he was when he recognized the signs of turmoil in Lydia that his own mother showed. He knew there was no helping the situation, that only Lydia could help herself out of her own personal hell, but he remained by her side until the threats were gone. This man set my heart on fire. I didn't expect to like his character as much as I did!
Now onto Lydia. I liked her character, but she didn't outshine Bash like I was hoping she would. Given her struggle and her brutal past I expected to see a shell of a woman and then watch as she slowly progressed into a strong and determined to set her own path in life woman. I was a tad bit let down that she didn't reach the level of strength I had hoped she would. I wanted a final, I am woman, hear me roar moment from her. She needed to be the one to pull the trigger. But sadly it didn't get that far.
Overall, I actually really enjoyed this novel. I loved the suspense and the romance. Bash and Lydia definitely lit my kindle on fire! I can't wait to see what's next in this trilogy!!!

Whoa, I could not get enough of Bash and Lydia! These two are MAJOR opposites, but somehow seem to connect on a much deeper level- and not just physically either- even though that is super hot! ;)
Bash is at a standstill in his life. With his mom just passing he is not sure what to do with himself or where he belongs now. He does know that after one night with the feisty bartender in NY he wants more, as much as she will let him actually. But Lydia has a secret, one that is not pretty and it is about to come into the light. Can Bash and the Satan's Knights help protect what is now theirs?
Wow is all I can say after reading this book. I am a huge MC fan and I really like Janine's work and previous books, so needless to say, I was super excited about this book, AND RIGHTFULLY SO! If you like MC reads with an alpha protector and a tough leading lady with all the sparks, this is DEFINITELY one you should check out!
PS: Thank you to Janine Infante Bosco and L Woods PR for allowing me an advanced copy of the book to read and review honestly!

Shifting Gears is the first book and an amazing start to the Satan Knight's Prospect Trilogy. Ever since being introduced to Bash in the Crossover Collection I've been anxious to read his story and I was not disappointed. Bash is an excellent addition to the Satan Knight family. Both Bash and Lydia were complex characters each with their own issues but together they were absolutely perfect. Bash's charm was enough to break down Lydia's walls but it didn't hurt that they had intense chemistry and their steamy scenes were hott. I loved the mystery/suspense aspect of the story, I loved that we get the other Satan Knight characters and I absolutely loved that HEA ending.
Shifting Gears was a fantastic story and another 5 star read from Janine Infante Boscoe. I loved it and would highly recommend it to all lovers of MC romance.

I liked that with this book we got the ending of the cross-over with Khloe Wren. I didn't read the previous Satan's Knights books, didn't seem to matter, but I do find I'm interested in checking them out and will do so to understand those characters a bit more.
I like that Bash went slow with Lydia. He sensed that she needed that, yet he also let her know without a doubt he was still interested in her. I wished that she would have trusted Bash or the club a bit more, it would have save so much drama at the end. But alls well that ends well and that is what happened to Bash and Lydia.

Another page-turner from Janine Infante Bosco! Lydia is a strong woman, with her own secrets. When she has a one night stand with Bash, she doesn't expect to see him again. I guess one night wasn't enough, because Bash is back in New York, and can't seem to stay away from Lydia. Is Bash ready to claim Lydia, or will her secrets make him change his mind? What will it take for both of them to realize that they are 'Property of Parrish', and part of a family that will always protect each other and have each other's backs?

Readers are once again pulled into the world of the Satan’s Knights MC with this sensual and suspenseful tale of second chances and starting over. As the first installment in a brand new trilogy Ms. Bosco brings back old favorites while introducing us to new characters as well as digging deeper into other characters who were on the periphery of this MC. From the first page to the last she weaves a tale that kept me on the edge of my seat while charming me with a romance that ultimately healed a couple broken and bruised from their pasts.
Readers previous introduction to Bash showed us a Southern Gentleman full of charm who had a tough childhood due to an alcoholic and abusive father with PTSD whose brutality caused his mother to die before her time from the constant beatings. After his father’s suicide it was just Bash and his mom, leaving him to do all he could to care for her. It left him a loner with little time for himself. Joining the Charon MC though gave him a sense of family and gave him a purpose to live life more for himself. He enjoyed being a Prospect for them but the club never moved him higher which led to frustration, and with his mom’s declining health he started feeling uncertain about his place within the club. On a quick trip to New York to help a fellow club though he found himself drawn to bartender Lydia, drawn to her spirit as well as the uncertainty and pain in her eyes that he wanted to help heal. Their one night together made him feel things he hadn’t felt before and once he returned home he couldn’t get her out of his mind. It was his mother’s passing though that really pushed him to start over and it was a decision that had me cheering. Winning over Lydia wasn’t easy though as her past has her leery of men, doubting the meaning of love, and fearful of her past coming back to haunt her and hurt others. Throughout their burgeoning romance Bash is sweet, sexy, and oh so charming. He’s caring and protective of her as he slowly discovers more about her past so he can keep her safe and be a part of her future. He’s very loyal to the club too and quickly made a place for himself within the ranks. His discovery of the differences between New York and Texas living were often humorous and endearing and with Lydia being his guide it deepened their connection in their journey to HEA. From the first page to the last I found Bash to be a delightful hero with a bit of bad boy balanced with a sweet and lovable side that has me still thinking about him in a story that culminated perfectly from the previous installment.
Lydia is the bartender for the bar that Riggs owns and the glimpses readers have gotten of her are of a hardworking woman often left frustrated by working long hours with no help. She’s a tough girl to the outside world and doesn’t hesitate to call it like she sees it. She has a no-nonsense attitude and keeps the Satan’s Knights in their place. The moment she met Bash though readers saw a very different side to her, one that seemed more vulnerable, with quirks of OCD and a tendency of speaking her thoughts out loud which made for humorous interactions between the two of them. Their one night-stand was combustible, giving the two of them a night to just be, and with not a care in the world. When Bash returned to New York he was a man on a mission when it came to Lydia and what started out as a friendship soon became more despite her trying to keep their one night from happening again. With each interaction they grew closer with them bonding over their mutual pain. Her secrets were hard to bring out as she feared what would happen to Bash if he knew the truth. Readers get some inkling though into her past early on...a past full of bruises and feeling controlled. From the very start Lydia’s a woman on edge with a bag packed for a quick escape and guns close at hand. She kept herself isolated with few friends as she was determined to keep her secrets to herself and to hide in plain sight. As the story progresses, and with her and Bash growing closer, it’s only a matter of time before her secret comes out and leaves her in dire need of the safety of being Property of Parrish.
Ms. Bosco has crafted an unforgettable series with the Satan’s Knights MC, an exhilarating read with characters that jump off the page. They’re a sweet, strong, and sexy group of bad boys with hearts of gold and a few flaws that made them even more realistic. They’re a family like no other and Bash is a great addition to their ranks. He and Lydia were a perfect match as both gave what the other needed most. They’ve been hurt before but were supportive of one another in a steamy relationship balanced with humor and heartwarming moments. Alongside this memorable couple were the various men and women of the Satan’s Knights, especially Riggs who can always be counted on to bring a bit of levity to any stressful situation. I was also drawn to Lydia’s lone friend/cross dressing neighbor Chas. He was a delightful character for his flamboyance, but he was equally supportive of her and defensive towards anyone new. Nico too left an impression, even though he wasn’t present much in this story, with his mysterious absences continuing and leaving me both curious and fearful of what might befall him. With so much to like about this book I must point out one small quibble and it’s that the story dragged a bit during the early stages of Bash and Lydia’s relationship with too much talking and not enough action. The story quickly picked up the pace though as danger came calling on the club’s doorstep, danger that could be from the cartel or from somewhere else. The discovery of who the villain really is led to heart pounding moments that will keep readers guessing while being on the edge of their seats. With the start of this new trilogy Ms. Bosco once again shows her mastery of the MC genre. With entertaining bad boys, scorching romances, and pulse pounding action she continues to give readers just what they’ve been asking for in stories that leave me counting down the days until we revisit the men and women who are Property of Parrish!

Riveting from word go the ending. You can’t all away from the story once you start reading it. Amazing, well written, outstanding.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie's Book Reports.
They're called one-night stands for a reason. If you're lucky, there's a lot of mind blowing sex and then you never have to see or speak to the person again. It's fun and uncomplicated. In my case, Bash hightailed it to the airport the next morning so I definitely never expected to run into the former prospect from the Charon MC again. But when his mother passed, he dragged his pipes all the way from Texas to New your, and now he's crashing at the Satan's Knights clubhouse. Which happens to also be where I work and the scene of our one night crime. If I thought forgetting the orgasm champ was hard before, it just became impossible.
Grief can shake a man, make him question his whole life and have him taking chances he never thought he'd take. Chances like moving to Staten Island, New York. Chances like prospecting for a new club. Chances like being around a certain fiery bartender who has been in my head since we shared one incredible night. Even though I should be completes focused on earning my colors, there's a part of me that wants to chance chasing Lydia Gallo for more than one night. I want to break down her walls and uncover every one of her secrets...never mind the patch.
Can I just say that I hope that Janine Infante Bosco never stops writing character from the Satan's Knights world. There are so many of them that I have fallen in love with and now they feel like I am a part of them. This is a spin off of that series and the first book in the Satan's Knights Prospect Trilogy. This is the story of Brash and Lydia. Poor Brash has suffered one of the most significant loses a human being can ever experience. He has lost his mom. After the most amazing night of his life and a one night stand he can not forget Brash is no in Stanton Island, New York and right back in the life of Lydia. Lydia too for her part thought that she would never see Brash again. He gave her what was without a doubt the most amazing night of her life and she has thought about him a lot. Now he is back in her life and he wants more from her. Something neither of them ever expected to happen. However Lydia is hiding a huge secret that could change everything forever. She has to keep her distance from Brash no matter what because of her past. Can these two ever find a way to make it all work out. I thought this book was emotional, a page turner and absolutely amazing. I was so engrossed in it that I couldn't lay it down and I am always more than happy to surrender myself and be in the Satan's Knight's world. As always it is really great to see some familiar faces who make an appearance in this book. Like I said I hope the Satan's Knight world never ends.

Gah! Where is the ten star rating when you really need it??
I want to start by saying that I loved this book for many reasons. First, I love Janine's sense of humor! She knows how to make a serious story/situation a little lighter by injecting some humor. She seriously has a wicked sense of humor, and she never fails to make me laugh. In my opinion, that is how we should all look at life in general. Life is hard and stressful, but humor makes it much easier! Another reason I loved this book is how a big bad biker reacts after meeting a guy like Chaz. My favorite quote of the book is this "I'd never turn my back on someone being bullied simply because he doesn't fit some bs mold society tries to shove down our throats. So he's gay. Big deal. He ain't bothering anyone. He ain't asking you to watch him and his partner. He's looking for happiness and to make an honest living. He's looking for someone to love him. For the world to accept him. That doesn't warrant abuse". What a powerful paragraph, right??
Okay, let's discuss Bash and Lydia. Bash spent his childhood watching his dad beat on his mom and that definitely leaves a mark on a kid. Fast forward several years. Bash loses his mom, and her death kind of throws him into a tale spin. When a club he is prospecting for heads to New York to help a brother chapter, Bash tags along. While there, he meets the Satan Knight's sexy bartender, and he is drawn to her. There is just one problem with that. Lydia has a dangerous past that she keeps on the down low. On top of that, she has quite a few quirks. Spending one night with her might be easy, but getting inside her head and her heart will prove much more difficult. Just as they begin to trust one another all hell breaks loose. When lies and secrets are exposed, will they even stand a chance?
As always with Janine, the story line is consuming, the characters are awesome, and the humor is on point! Hurry up and one click this bad boy ASAP. I promise you will love it!

She seriously has a wicked sense of humor, and she never fails to make me laugh. In my opinion, that is how we should all look at life in general. Life is hard and stressful, but humor makes it much easier! Another reason I loved this book is how a big bad biker reacts after meeting a guy like Chaz. My favorite quote of the book is this "I'd never turn my back on someone being bullied simply because he doesn't fit some bs mold society tries to shove down our throats. So he's gay. Big deal. He ain't bothering anyone. He ain't asking you to watch him and his partner. He's looking for happiness and to make an honest living. He's looking for someone to love him. For the world to accept him. That doesn't warrant abuse". What a powerful paragraph, right??
Okay, let's discuss Bash and Lydia. Bash spent his childhood watching his dad beat on his mom and that definitely leaves a mark on a kid. Fast forward several years. Bash loses his mom, and her death kind of throws him into a tale spin. When a club he is prospecting for heads to New York to help a brother chapter, Bash tags along. While there, he meets the Satan Knight's sexy bartender, and he is drawn to her. There is just one problem with that. Lydia has a dangerous past that she keeps on the down low. On top of that, she has quite a few quirks. Spending one night with her might be easy, but getting inside her head and her heart will prove much more difficult. Just as they begin to trust one another all hell breaks loose. When lies and secrets are exposed, will they even stand a chance?
As always with Janine, the story line is consuming, the characters are awesome, and the humor is on point! Hurry up and one click this bad boy ASAP. I promise you will love it!

Lydia Gallo gets the reader ready for this Satan’s Knights spinoff. Bash seems to want a fresh start. This may be their story but we get to see some of the other members of the Satan’s Knights. I’ve been enjoying the author’s MC series and this was a great addition.
You assume that Lydia has it together but she slowly reveals to the readers that she’s actually trying to protect herself. Once she comes into contact with Bash, she also wants to protect her heart. Bash has a pain in his heart and just wants it to go away. It was great to watch these two interact. Whenever she’s in the same place as Bash she seems to have an affliction called loose lips – and I loved that it continued right to the end. Bash will turn around and give us a good chuckle and it’s a great way to lighten the mood. When you really seem them talk to each other the scenes seem so realistic – you will have no trouble picturing those interactions.
Even though this can be considered a standalone. You may meet characters that you know nothing about. But if you know nothing, as you get introduced to them you may find yourself wanting to know more. One such man is Riggs. So you may just get hooked. You get enough of the secondary characters to know there’s an MC but the author always brings us back to the main story. This seems a little lighter than some of the other books that I’ve read but that’s not a bad thing since I get some good laughs out of it. There is an ending but there doesn’t seem to be any finality to it – that shouldn’t be too surprising since this is the first book in a new series. I just can’t wait to see if they make a reappearance.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

Shifting Gears is the first book in the Satan's Knights Prospect Trilogy. It's a spinoff from another series but it can be read as a standalone.
Bash was a prospect for the Charon MC but after his mother passes away, he decides to try a new life in Texas. He lands at the Satan's Knights Motorcycle club and comes face to face with a one night stand that he's never forgotten. Lydia Gallo works at a bar owned by the MC. She's never forgotten Bash either but there's secrets she's keeping...secrets that could get alot of people hurt.
I've been a fan of the Satan's Knights MC for a long time so I was super excited to get back to their world! This book was not quite as intense as some of the previous novels. Yes, there was a some thrills and "oh no's!" but those were closer to the end. The majority of the story belonged to Lydia and Bash's budding romance and I LOVED that! There was just something so endearing about Bash and how he cared for Lydia. Their attraction was combustible, obvious, intense but it was also so much more than physical. Lydia was hiding a huge secret and we all know how those can come back to bite you in the butt! But she was definitely a strong character, pulling herself from the dregs of that secret and living a new life.
There was just the right amount of suspense, intrigue, romance and sexy moments to keep my eyes glued to the pages. Ms. Bosco always delivers a well rounded and COMPLETE experience and this book was no exception. This one gets a spot on my READ AGAIN E-SHELF! Told from dual POVs with a sweet ending. I voluntarily read and reviewed this Book.

Shifting Gears (Satan’s Knights Prospect Trilogy #1)
by Janine Infante Bosco
What a great story! This author is new for me and Shifting Gears won’t be my last. I seem to have several Satan’s Knights stories to catch up on too and I’m looking forward to those.
Bash has just arrived back in NY. from Texas to prospect for the Satan’s Knights. It’s been a difficult choice to make, but after his ma’s passing he can’t seem to think straight. Once he’s in NY., he runs into Lydia, a woman who has been constantly on his mind since his last visit, they had had a steamy one night-stand. Now that he’s back Bash wants a repeat of their smoking hot evening, but this time he’s also determined to make Lydia his women.
But things are not always that simple. Lydia has secrets from her past that she wishes to keep. Bash is a very compassionate guy, he knows there’s something in Lydia’s past that hurt her badly, he hopes someday Lydia can tell him her story.
Will her past stay in the past or will is danger lurking in the unknown?
Shifting Gears was an intriguing story, the main characters Bash and Lydia had very interesting personalities. Lydia was a strong women, but she’s broken, hurt, finds it difficult to trust and her past has left her with unusual habits, OCD rites. Bash, I loved him, he was a delicious southern gentleman, he was polite, caring, tough when needed and smoking hot, just the kind of guy Lydia needed.
The story was well thought out and delivered, great characters, very well developed. A definite must read and great start to the trilogy. I highly recommend it?

Bash comes from Khloe Wren's Charon MC series, after a few unfortunate events in Texas, he makes his way back to NY and the Satan's Knights.
I've been waiting to dive into his story since I got a taste of him and Lydia in Losing Bash. This is everything I was hoping it would be. The majority of the story is light and fun with the banter and the huge personality that is all Bash. Bash is a what you see is what you get kind of guy, for the most part. As with any Knight, when you mess with what he holds dear, a switch is flipped and he resembles the reaper on his back.
Lydia has secrets of her own, that she's worked hard to try and keep in her past. On the surface she's done ok for herself, but it's what nobody else sees that keeps her on edge and keeps her guard up. Does she dare to believe that she has a chance at normal?
The story has everything you've come to expect from a SK story. The danger that lurks, a bit of misdirection, the back and forth between the brothers, solid friendships that know no bounds and of course that sexy as sin parts too.

When the country meets the city it makes for one heck of a ride (and a dang good read). This is the continuation of Bash’s story. His story began in the prequel crossover novella by Khloe Wren, titles “Losing Bash”.
Bash has just lost his mother and is not sure what he wants to do with his life. Stay with the Charon MC in Texas or take a leap at a new life in New York with the Satan’s Knights MC, which just happens to be the spot he had an unforgettable night with Lydia, the bartender he met when the two clubs joined forces a couple months back.
While Bash is in NY, trying to decide where he fits in, he reconnects with Lydia. But everything isn’t all peaches and cream. Nash senses Lydia is hiding her own secrets and the Satan’s Knights MC is fighting an unknown threat.
This is a thrilling, sexy MC Romance that kept me glued to the pages. It’s a very well written storyline with amazing characters and situations you don’t want to miss out on. 2 Thumbs Up and 5 Stars for an excellent book I highly recommend grabbing up, ASAP.

Bash and his mother share a painful past which brought them closer. When she passes away he is left alone and wondering what direction his future should take. He is a prospect for the Charon MC but he can’t forget the only night that he spent with Lydia while he was in NY on club business so he heads back to NY and the Satan Knights while he figures out where he is supposed to be.
Lydia is a bartender for the Satan Knights who because of her past keeps people at a distance. She believed that one night with Bash was all they were destined to be but now he is back with the club and in her life.
Bash wants more than the one night he shared with Lydia but for that to happen he must be patient while he shows her that she can trust him with her heart and her past.
This story takes you on an adventure filled with emotion, adventure and heat. Not only are Lydia and Bash great characters that draw you in but the secondary characters add another level to the story. This is a great start to a new series that leaves us wanting more of the Satan Knights MC.

We had a small taste of Bash in Losing Bash by Khloe Wren and Shifting Gears picks up from there and gives us the story we have been itching for since. Bash and Lydia are two lost souls both who have suffered pain at the hands of someone that should have only shown them love. As these two start to learn and embrace the term we are so familiar with, Property of Parrish, it will take faith and trust in this and the Satans Knights to finally find their place, home and ultimately love. An action packed, steamy romance that will have you on the edge of your seat riding the unease and hoping that this newest prospect can win not only Lydia’s heart but her confidence. Bash will have your pulse racing with his big heart and his southern drawl and Lydia will show you an inner strength that she wasn’t even aware she had.
October 22, 2019
Oh, Bash. Where do I start?! Shifting Gears is an intense and lethal read, just as the new Satan Knight prospect Bash is. Author Janine Infante Bosco delivers my stamp of approval as I became 'Property of Parrish' once again!
Shifting Gears is a spontaneous ride where hearts are on the line: broken to whole, scared to brazen. It's a story about desperately trying to find yourself or the person you used to be or want to be, while you shift gears in the direction you're meant to take.
I highly recommend this book, because Ms. Bosco is such a gifted and talented writer that knows exactly how to awaken our soul, steal our hearts and pull out ALL our emotions with her words, characters and storylines.

This is the 1st book in a new trilogy, and is a spin off from Khloe Wren’s Charon MC novella “Losing Bash”. After losing his mom Bash is a little lost and moves to NY to prospect for the Satan’s Knights. Lydia who is on the run from a psychotic ex, works in the bar which is owned by the club, and has crossed paths with Bash previously. This is a well written flawless story which is intense, emotional, tragic, and with secrets, danger, humour and love. I was totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner, and I cannot wait to read more in this amazing series. I highly recommend for all MC lovers!
October 22, 2019
Blew me away! I love a great MC read and this one hit it out of the park! Bash and his love Lydia are reunited despite what they thought. Coming back after losing his mother, reuniting with Lydia was not what was in the plans, but fate had other ideas for them.
I love how all is not happiness and roses when the do find one another, giving me that suspense that I love from Janine.
Bash and Lydia's romance is a fun and yet thrilling read giving me a full range of emotions, from light and laughter to danger and suspense. Everything I would expect from an MC romance. Again this book blew me away!

After reading the crossover, I was so looking forward to more Bash. I definitely was not disappointed.
Bash tries to tell himself he is not going back to NYC for Lydia but the more he is there the more she is constantly on his mind.
Lydia didn't expect to see her one night stand again but when she brings plates in to Wolf things crash ;) as she sees Bash is back.
Can these two figure out if the can be what the other needs as things around the clubhouse and in life fall apart?
This was a great book and I can't wait for the next one!!

FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC!!!
After reading the crossover, I couldn't wait to read more of Bash's story. I love him and Lydia together. It may have started as a one night stand. They both may have thought they'd never see each other again. But fate's a funny thing. Fate has plans.
I love the way Janine tells a story. She's amazing. She has a way of pulling you in and the next thing you know, you've become "Property Of Parrish". Shifting Gears is a fantastic start to the Satan's Knights Prospect Trilogy.

What’s not to love about this story? A fantastic storyline, two characters that will have you swooning and not to mention a hot MC club and all the men that accompany it. I could not put my kindle down and cursed every time I had to because of the impending move. Bash and Lydia had one hot night and when he shows back up at the club to stay for good, can they pick up where they left off? Or will all around secrets get in their way and prevent their happiness? I cannot wait for book two of this trilogy. This is one you will not want to miss out on so one click or add to your TBR.
October 22, 2019
The Prospects have arrived and first up is Bash. Sweet, southern and utterly hysterical at times, he is exactly what Lydia needs in her life and this club needs as well. This book will have you feeling the ups and downs of this couple and the emotions they are both going through while dealing with new and old losses. We get to see some of our favorite Knights and in the end Ms. Bosco has yet again given us laughs and tears all throughout the same story! What a great way to begin the newest adventures with the newest members of the Satan’s Knights!

Bash and Lydia had one night together when he had to travel for his brothers to the Satan's Knights MC house and she disappeared on him , when he got home she was never far from his mind then his mom passes and he has some major decisions to make as to whether he wants his patch with his brothers or to see where Lydia and the Satan's Knights will take him.
Life altering is exactly what this book is to Lydia and Bash I hope you enjoy this story as much as I have and look forward to the next one in this trilogy

What a great beginning
Based on the blurb, I wasn't sure that I was going to like Bash. Certainly not fall in love with him. I mean he had no issue with the one-night stand thing. But, in his defense, it does take two to tango. Bash ends up being this wonderful guy who, when paired with Lydia who has been hurt in the past and has several little quirks of her own, manages to find his perfect HEA. This is the first book I have read by this author, and I am looking forward to reading many more.
