A review by jaimejustreadsromance
After This Night by Lauren Blakely

5.0

How do I put into words the love I feel for this book? I can't even begin to tell you all of the ways in which I love Clay and Julia and how sad I am that their story is finished. Is it possible to get you to understand how much I Flove Lauren Blakely? This is where I brag that I got to beta read on this one, right? Because I totally did and I'm so grateful to Lauren for trusting me with that honor. Of course there wasn't much for me to do because the book was basically perfection right from the get go.
Clay continued to melt my panties with his alpha-ness but this time around you really get to see him wear his heart on his sleeve. His protective and loving side really shined here. He is so kick ass when defending Julia's honor and well-being.
Much like in the the first book and the prequel, Julia impressed me with her maturity and confidence. Julia is the epitome of a sexually assured, strong woman and I wish that I could read more women just like her in other romances.
I love that Julia and Clay handled their problems in such a mature and thoughtful manner. There is no tantrums, fits or over-reacting with these two. It's why they work so well together. I wish that we could read about them forever and ever. Like I've said before, I'm sure we will get glimpses of them in future Blakely works so I can take comfort in that.
This book was a perfect blend of romance, angst, sex and suspense, sending my emotions into overdrive. I highly recommend this to everyone that loves a well-written romance with a healthy dose of hot, hot lovin'.
