A super sexy, totally engaging story! I really have been missing out on some great Linda Howard reads!
There are so many fantastic reviews that I'll just add a few thoughts....
It took awhile for me to like the hero, Gray Rouillard. He’s a sexy, hot, alpha from the elite side of town. His treatment of Faith took a huge dose of redemption, but it does happen and by the end I was a happy reader.
The past hasn’t been good to Faith and I loved how she took charge and came out shining. She’s a strong, proud, intelligent young woman who overcame the circumstances surrounding her life. (view spoiler) While all is not perfect, she's a shining star in this read.
My only quibble is that I wished Gray's redemption would have been given more page time; An epilogue would have been perfect. He does redeem himself but I wanted a little more groveling. Or, maybe I wanted a little more Gray; he is a sexy as sin bad boy who can make the pages near ignite.
After The Night is a well written, intriguing story. I was completely hooked to find the answers and the sultry, explosive chemistry made this a great read.

"WOW! I've been missing out on some great Linda Howard writing:) I'm not sure how I'll find the words for a review; I loved the story but the hero was a douche! He did finally redeem himself enough for me to really like him though:)
4 Stars and hoping my friends will lead me to more by this author:))"

I really enjoyed this review, Kat! Can't wait to read it myself. I am so glad he redeems himself, and might even have the same opinion about more pages in which he does it. ;) haha Now should I start with this one or Mr. Perfect?

While I enjoyed them both, Mr. Perfect would be my choice. It's a fun, sexy read and I love the combination of steam and humor:)
Thank you Jane! I hope you get a chance to read these and enjoy them as much as I did.
