The Ever After series concludes in Aftermath. Tragedy, redemption, love… Ever After

Once upon a time, Casey flirted with a pretty boy at a bar, and that changed everything. Recently released from jail, he’s starting to rebuild without the family who raised him to hate himself. He’s got a new job, a room at his aunt’s, and community service hours at an LGBTQIA community center. But his biggest challenge is figuring out how to live as the one thing his father and brother drilled into him he could never be: a gay man.

Once upon a time, Brooks was a confident Dom with a particular taste for bigger men. But since his run-in with a dangerous homophobe, he’s lost his touch. Big, buff guys are hot but scary, and hurting people isn’t as much fun as it used to be.

Until he meets Casey, the big guy with the problematic past. Casey’s willing to do anything, but does his submission stem from healthy kink or from an unhealthy need to be punished? And is Brooks doling out release or revenge? Two people who share a past as violent as theirs could never fall in love. Unless, somewhere in the aftermath, there’s forgiveness.

My review: 

Mind! Blown! 

Oh God! This book was my first from the author, but let me say it definitely wasn't the last! Give me all the books! 

I was lucky enough to read an ARC copy, and holy hell! What an amazing book did I got! I couldn't imagine a world where i say no for this book, and now i NEED to read the first two too! 

This book was so much more than i imagined it would be. I'm always a bit afraid to read from a new-to-me author, but how I love it when it turns out to be love at first read!

Casey and Brooks were amazing together, i loved their story. I loved everything about them. And their past was so sad, but i was happy that they figured everything out. 

The differences between them was beautiful, and their love was unique. 

I loved their strength and both their personality. And the BDSM mmmmm♥ 

I HIGHLY recommend this book! And i really am thankful for the ARC copy.
