The Aftermath was almost like the perfect extended epilogue you would crave after putting down The Hurricane. Whenever there’s a second book like this, I always expect a lot of real-life relationship drama. So, I went into this one a little anxious about what I was going to get. I was expecting O’Connell’s career taking a serious upswing to cause drama between them by forced separations and women crawling all over him so firstly I was freaking stoked that that wasn’t the case. 

 

This book started off more focused on wrapping up the loose end from Emily’s past and the way it happened was very realistic as well as being very heart breaking. But the way that both Emily and O’Connell dealt with it was absolutely perfect and I really enjoyed the way they dealt with it both individually as well as together. 

 

And the career success that O’Connell had was just cherry on the top of the biggest sundae. These two went through it all and came out together. Stronger. Closer. And surrounded by awesome people. I loved this book, but I’ll be honest, I don’t know if I am going to read the next two books. I really loved the secondary characters, and I think I will love their stories but I just want to sit back and bask in Emily and O’Connell’s happily ever after.
