After The Night is my favorite Howard book! It is actually the only book in my collection I refuse to part with.... okay I do have a couple more but ATN will never leave me! I may end up buried with it so I can enjoy in the after life to! lol I think this was my first Linda Howard book, it is an awsome first read and it keeps you wanting more! I have read most Howard books, I am in the process of rereading Dream Man, another Howard novel that I can't part ways with! check that one out to, you will be happy you did!

Linda Howard is one of my few "keeper" authors. I go back and reread them about once a year. This was one of my favorites.

My major requirement in a romance book is that the book has to have a âdangerousâ male in it, one that is willing to do whatever it takes to get his woman, his way, etc. This book definitely meets that requirement. It sizzles and is on my keeper shelf.

This is the 4th book of Linda Howard's I have read. If you haven't read a book by her, boy are you missing out, she writes such strong characters. The minor problem that I had with the story was a little bit of the connection with the h/h. But what I do like about this is the âgirl goes back to home townâ story is a little different. Now, I had to read this book for a book that made me think of summer, and let me tell you there were some SCORCHING scenes involving the couple in the summer on the front porch, the courthouse bathroom, and oh the kitchen table. All in all, I enjoyed it, just missed a little bit on the connection, not enough to no read this book!â

This one was okay. I couldn't be as forgiving as Faith was with Gray. Some of the things he did and said to her were especially brutal and nasty. I felt so sorry for Faith, but at the same time cringed when she kept allowing Gray to continue his assault. I didn't like his character. Only 2.5 out of 5 stars.

Loved it!

I am a Linda Howard fan. I read the preview of AfterThe Night at the end of Dream Man and was thrilled to find it at PaperBack Swap. Strong characters, a mystery, lots of romance and a little surprise at the end. It is on my 'keep' shelf and will remain there.

I am a big Linda Howard fan and this book is one of my favorites. I love the spunkiness and tenacity of Faith. At first I was not crazy about Gray but he grew on me throughout the story. Of course he is gorgeous, rich, and stubborn as most men are in romance novels, but you can feel his pain and begin to understand why he is so dead set on bringing Faith down. But the inevitable happens and the two come together (literally and figuratively!) and the sparks are flying everywhere. I like my romance to have hot sex scenes and ATN does not disappoint.

For a good mystery, and a hot romance, you will love After the Night.

This was a nice effort by Linda Howard. Still, she almost lost me with her long drawn out tale of the youthful characters before they matured for the "real" story. It is also maddening that the characters don't say things that should be said until its almost too late. That adds excitement and challenge, but not nearly as good as her Mackenzie stories.

This is one of my favorite Linda Howard books. It is on my keeper shelf right next to Mr. Perfect and I re-read it often!

I liked her (plucky, of course); I liked him (big, handsome, control freak that he is)...the romping around was very entertaining. No surprises, but a good tale set outside of New Orleans.

This book is a page turner. Between the past scandal and the attraction of today Faith and Gray must find a way to be together.
