Afterburn & Aftershock

Cosmo Red-Hot Reads from Harlequin

By: Sylvia Day

Narrated by: Amy McFadden

Never mix business with pleasure. Never bring politics into the bedroom. In a way I did both when I took Jackson Rutledge as a lover. I can't say I wasn't warned.

Two years later, he was back. Walking into a deal I'd worked hard to close. Under the tutelage of Lei Yeung, one of the sharpest businesswomen in New York, I had picked up a thing or two since Jax walked away. I wasn't the girl he once knew, but he hadn't changed. Unlike the last time we'd drifted into each other's lives, I knew exactly what I was dealing with...and how addictive his touch could be.

The inner circle of glamour, sex, and privilege was Jax's playground - but this time, I knew the rules of the game. In the cutthroat business world, one adage rules all: keep your enemies close and your ex-lovers closer...

After Shock/After Burn

I loved this book. I had just finished the Crossfire series and needed a Sylvia Day fix. This is a short but good book. It's only about 7 hours long so I was able to finish it rather quickly. It didn't have as much detail as other books I have read but I loved the characters and the story. I wish there would of been more of a history given on there back story or flashbacks of what they went through. Overall I loved the book and would read it again.

what?

Ok, I love Day's books, but this one was weak. The characters were not developed at all. Story goes like this. Girl meats guy in bar, sleeps with guy. Guy meets up with girl on the weekend for 6 weeks then just stops without saying good buy.. 2 years later guy runs into girl again, sleeps with her again, confesses undying love, quits huge carreer for her then asks for marrags after only being reconecter for a few weeks... when they talk, they always fight unless there having sex...
Don't waist 7 hrs of your day on this one.

Needed more

This was a lovely story . I was reminded of Gideon Cross when it came to Jax. All in all it was great I just wished it wasn't so rushed and that the story had more time to develop. I hated the ending just as I did with the Crossfire collection. I believe more could have been done. However, I'm still looking forward to the movie in hopes that it lives up to my expectations.

Good listen

The story kept me interested, there’s a good balance of love scenes, the narrator held the story well with on-point accents & an emotive tone that didn’t drag. Gia was a cool personality, Jacks was a bit irritating at times, supporting characters all lent to the story too.

Love this story

Left me with wanting more the story was so good. I want to know what happens next!
