Before and After

Langston Hotels, Book 2

De: Anna Hackett

Narrado por: Emma Wilder, Lee Samuels

I never expected to become a single mom. Back in my Colorado hometown, all I have time for is work and raising my grieving nephew.

I don’t have time for a man.

Especially a tall, dark, and broody one.

Allie
I’ve swapped city life for small town. Designer suits for a housekeeping uniform. And don’t get me started on my lack of sleep. But I’d do it all again in a heartbeat to take care of my nephew.

Now my life revolves around running hotel housekeeping at the Langston Windward and taking care of my kiddo.

Oh, it also involves trying to avoid our cold, scowling, ex-military head of security. Everywhere I turn, I see Caden Castro and his muscled body and inky-black eyes.

And every time I see him, he’s watching me.

Caden
As head of security for Langston Hotels, my job is to fly in, upgrade security, then fly out. Since I left the military, I keep my life simple and avoid distractions.

Works helps me escape the memories and guilt that never go away.

Except, since I came to Windward, all I can think about is Allie Ford.

It isn’t just her long legs and lean body, it’s her fierce attitude and spirit. But she’s a hard-working single mom, and I’m a man with nothing to offer.

Then a group of dangerous guests into extreme sports arrive. They have trouble written all over them, and when Allie gets sucked into that trouble, it changes everything.

Whatever line I have to cross, I’ll do it to keep her safe.

Very entertaining story and performance

I love the characters and the setting in this book and this series. The characters are well written and loyal, smart, and "strong." The story has good suspense along with romance. I don't enjoy the graphic sex, but the story and the characters are very good!!! The performance is entertaining.

Survivors Guilt

I loved it! The way she broke his walls down and saw the real him and didn’t give up was so endearing. His survivor’s guilt was crushing to read about. I just wanted to hug him and hold him. And his brooding made him all the more sexy. That first scene of those two together was scorching hot! I can’t wait for the next book!

Awesome

I love the way Caden finally came around! Loved the suspense and the love story. I totally can’t wait for the next book and see if it’s going to be Piper or Gunner

Single parent

I liked the broody protective hero and his struggle with his post traumatic stress syndrome

loved it

loving this series, the characters are the best and very interesting. Anna keep them coming.
