Publisher's summary

Carrie Longmire lives life with a passion - whether at her job as a hospital CEO's admin, as star pitcher for the hospital's softball team, or in her latest romantic possibility, she gives 110 percent, and won't take less from anyone else. Maybe that's why she's still single. She's never met anyone who could convince her they wanted anything more than a fling. Friendly was fun, but not where she wanted to hang her heart.

Gina Antonelli had big dreams once, of riding her athletic achievements all the way to West Point and being the first in a long family line of soldiers to serve as an officer. When that dream died along with the girl she'd planned to marry one day, she'd vowed to forget about happily ever afters. Love hadn't gotten her anything but a broken heart and a ruined body.

When Gina agrees to renovate Carrie's soon-to-be new house as a favor to her brother's boss, she doesn't welcome Carrie's overtures at friendship or her own unexpected attraction.

I didnt really like this book

the narrator could have done a much better job at defoneing the different character voices. It just seem a little rush ... hopefully Brake and maghie story will be more steamier and hotter and the narrator should be the one that did the first book

Good story, narration ruins it.

Would you try another book from Radclyffe and/or Paige McKinney?

I love Radclyffe's work. This was another of her great stories. I don't like to be critical of a budding narrator but I would not buy another book from this narrator, at least not one with dialog between characters. I'm surprised any producer let this happen.

How could the performance have been better?

The narrator has a beautiful voice when just reading the text but when she gets to the dialog, it is just awful. Emphasis is in the wrong place, voices don't match the emotions, voices don't even match the characters. Honestly, I had to stop listening to it and go to my Kindle and finish reading the book.

Love does not know time healing the past.

Book 4 in the Rivers romance does not disappoint. Carrie the Admin to the hospital chief has been settling in on the farm and in the community. I love her got, get it done attitude so her partner needs to be strong. Gina is the construction God with a heart that is wounded. What great this story is as they dance around each other. There are some scary drama moments like in all hospitals but the care they give makes everything ok. I am really enjoying this series. on to book 5.

what is wrong with the narrator?

it's hard to fully enjoy this audiobook because the narrator gave Gina the worst voice possible. actually it wasn't the voice no, it was more the fact that she made her talk so slowly I wondered if she was on valium but just for Gina haha I wanted to like the story but I felt over all the audiobook was just okay because I had to roll my eyes about 30 times at the at the way they were speaking

Welcome Back, Radclyffe

Would you listen to Love After Hours again? Why?

No. As much as I loved the story, I'm simply not a fan of the narrator.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Blake and Margie. They're just so darn cute together.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Paige McKinney?

Collen Marlowe. Paige McKinney sounded as if she was reading to a bunch of 5th graders. I mean it is an adult romance, after all.

Any additional comments?

This is the reason why I started reading Radclyffe in the first place. Her story telling and character development is what first drew me to her work. Unfortunately, her recent stuff has been a bit dull and started to turn me off. It's nice to see her get back to old school where the stories are good and the sex is hot. If I have one complaint, it's that the main characters, Carrie and Gina reminded me of Devon and Leslie from, "Where Dreams Tremble". Still I loved this story and am looking forward to more at the Rivers. Hopefully, she would do something with Pam. It would be nice to have more women of color as major characters in the Radclyffe universe.

Not the best narrator

This story was great! But the narrator was in like slow motion which was frustrating. And her voices didn’t quite match the situations. But another great story by Rad!!!

Great Series

Cary Longmire lives life to the fullest as Executive Assistant to The Rivers CEO or the pitcher of the hospital softball team. Her first meeting with Gina Antonella does not go well. A lack of permits delays the start of construction on the new wing. Their fiery relationship involves the renovation of Cary’s house, the softball field and the hospital. Great romance with steamy moments.

Buy the book, the narration was awful

I’ve purchased all of the River series and am an avid fan of Radclyffe’s works. However, this was the only one I could not bear to listen to at all. Earlier audiobooks with other narrators were so much better. Even the previous one with the same narrator, Paige McKinney, wasn’t great but it was tolerable.

I tried listening to “Love After Hours” a half a dozen times hoping it would get better but the narrator’s weird slow cadence with Gina and a majority of the other characters was cringe worthy. Also, Abby and Flannery’s dialogue went from deep and melodious in previous books to a slow speech with some sort of impediment to high and whiny for Flannery. It was awful and monotone for any of the dialogue portions.

I returned the audiobook and will be buying the book itself. I love the story but I could not sit through that narration whatsoever which made me quite sad. I was looking forward to Carrie’s story of finding love. For the future, I hope they return to using earlier narrators like Abby Crayden and Eva Kaminsky or even outside narrators like Melissa Sternenberg or Jill Smith.

Dreadful narration

The narrator is either 13 year old valley girl or an adult trying to sound like one. Every single character's dialogue is read to sound snide and sarcastic. Simply awful.
