After Our Kiss

Smokin' hot cover on this one. Good representation of the hero. Good composition and title work.

What a deliciously good book this turned out to be. I had to take a peek because I wasn't sure if I had read anything by this author before. I had, but just one book and it was awhile back. Needless to say after reading this one I'll be (hopefully) adding a few more to my READ list shortly.



On to the deets about this one. The author referred to it as a “dark romance” and depending on your reading habits this would probably fall anywhere from mildly dark to medium dark. I didn't find it particularly dark, but I tend to read a lot of extremely dark books so do keep that in mind. It was very well written and paced. I was never bored or felt the need to skim. There were some twists and turns. No OW/OM drama. There were some hot sex scenes, but I wish we had gotten a few more. I was digging the mildish BDSM vibe some of the sex scenes had. The book isn't heavy on secondary characters, but I found Lonnie extremely interesting. The twisted soul that lives inside me would love to see a book about him. Not sure how the author could spin that, but I would undoubtedly read it.

Both main characters were likable (for the most part). There were times I struggled a bit with Georgia. I found her acceptance at times a little too EASY I guess. I wanted her to push back more. Fight more. Especially towards Conway. That said it didn't overly bother me. Conway I loved. He was a great tortured hero. The author did a good job of keeping me guessing as to his motives. Lastly, it was all wrapped up in a satisfying ending. All in all a very enjoyable way to spend a few hours. Two thumbs up from yours truly.
