Publisher's Summary

Emotional, endearing, and full of romance, don't miss this brand new stand-alone heart-wrenching story by USA Today best-selling author Claudia Burgoa!

Tucker Decker is an infamous billionaire. He’s ruthless, impulsive, cold-hearted, and hot as sin. He likes his relationships casual and his commitments without strings. But when it comes to his former bandmates, he’d do anything for them. Tragedy demands sacrifice. 

I’m an independent woman. I’ve learned never to ask for help. And I certainly didn't want it from Tucker. When my sister left us both to care for my niece, we realize co-parenting may be harder than we thought. Especially when we're fighting a desire for each other. 

When the ghosts of our past come back to haunt us, will we find that there's still an us after all?

This Audiobook Was Emotional

I forgot about the sadness in this book. It was hard listening to the loss the friends who formed a family had to overcome. Tucker Decker made some bad decisions in his life. He felt responsible for fixing his friends mistakes. He steps up when called upon once again needing to love, protect and cherish an infant who had no one. Sage Heywood uprooted her life because she could never say no to her family.
Narrators George Newburn and Grace Grant were fabulous in their portrayal of Tucker and Sage. I found the audio more emotional.

Emotional and charming.

“What an incredible story I’ve listen. Full of romance, the emotions had me on the edge waiting for more. Sage’s was the kind of girl you can’t help but love. It’s hard to find FMC that are strong and independent that aren’t willing to let her independence go and it’s something I admire. Shoutout to Grace for her incredible job portraying Savage’s personality. Tucker, sweet Tucker… I waited ages for his story lol but it was so worth it. George slayed Tucker’s character. Wow! His voice was beautiful, humorous on point!”

Rewarding story with great narration

There were a lot of touching moments, giggles, support, and love in this story. I really enjoyed how Sage and Tucker found ways to be co-parents despite their pasts and differences. Though forced into the situation, they tried so hard to ignore their feelings for each other so that they would be successful. I fell in love with both of them, and I cried a few times as they made their way through the trials of parenthood and love. I highly recommend this story.
The dual narration by George Newbern and Grace Grant gave life to Sage and Tucker, and they helped me enjoy this story.

I received this audiobook as a gift, and this is my unsolicited review.

Love!

Sage and Tucker are the epitome of people coming into each other's lives and being exactly what the other needed. They may not have asked for this but in the face of tragedy they come together and it's oh, so sweet. It's a slow burn though and lots happens between the beginning and when they actually come together but I became invested and found myself smiling half the time.The narrators did such a great job of bringing the characters to life I practically couldn't stop listening. I loved this!

EPIC romance!!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 STARS

The narration by George Newbern and Grace Grant was on point! This was a definite slow burn, but the journey was EVERYTHING!!! Tucker and Sage are thrown into an unconventional relationship due to circumstances beyond their control. Although they are attracted to each other, they choose not to do anything about it as to not make waves and make their situation worse than it is; until they decide they can't fight their attraction anymore.

This was such a touching story and I highly recommend listening to this EPIC audiobook. Us After You by Claudia Burgoa will join the ranks of the BIBLIO-ARISTOCRACY!!!

Us After You

Claudia Burgoa is adept at writing characters and stories that are engaging and unique. Us After You is no exception.

Tucker and Sage are brought together to care for a baby that is not theirs, she is Sage's niece. I knew as much from the blurb of the book, but did not know the emotional ride this story would take me on. There is so much that they have both been through, and they now need to find a way to move forward together in the present. The ups and downs they experienced made me so happy to see them find their way as the story progressed.

I can be picky about my audiobooks, but I was not disappointed here! The narrators did a great job bringing the story to life and keeping me engaged.

I enjoyed this book quite a bit and am looking forward to reading more of the author's books!

Loved it! Emotional and charming story!

I recently listened to Us After You by Claudia Burgoa, narrated by George Newbern and Grace Grant, and I loved it. This was an emotional, heartwarming and a slow burning romance with so many feels. A story of two people who do not want to let love in and carry baggage that is hard to let go. When life throws them an expected curve, they cannot let go of the other so easily. But do they really want too?

Tucker and Sage had amazing chemistry, but their pasts haunted them deeply. Tucker was very determined, but also protective and caring. Sage has been hurt in the past but is trying to move forward. It was great seeing not only Tucker and Sage fall but seeing how this group of friends banded together. Another great story from this author.

Happy listening!

All the feels!

Oh my wow! Tucker and Sage! Seriously… all the feels with this audiobook! The narrators made me feel things I didn’t feel reading it on my own. The emotions hit me more so with the sound of their voices. This is a beautiful and emotional story that needs to be heard! Five plus stars for the story and the performance!

I Loved this Witty, Touching, Steamy Romance!

I was so excited to finally have Tucker's story and I absolutely loved it! We first met him as the young man who had been adopted as a baby, but after a tragic turn of events when he was a teen, was rescued and brought back into the Colthurst-Decker-Bradley family fold. He has never gotten over the feeling of being abandon and feels closer and more in common with his bandmates from the Sinners Of Seattle. They have made poor choices in the past but are all working toward a better life. When one of his bandmates, Rocco, finds the woman of his dreams, Tucker and the band welcome her with open arms. But it's her sister, Sage, who really captures Tucker's heart and mind. Unfortunately, Sage has her own heartbreaking demons, and Tucker is too close to that pain, so she keeps him at a distance. When the unimaginable happens, Tucker and Sage must come together, and sacrifice their own lives, working as a team to co-parent her newborn niece. I absolutely loved Tucker's fierce loyalty, and protectiveness. He was so swoon worthy as he fell instantly in love with baby Mia, taking care of all of her needs. I was heartbroken for Sage as she struggled with her past but still wanted to be a good mom for Mia. I also loved how Tucker worked through his emotions and the way he finally made peace with those who love him most. Sage is so smart, sassy, guarded and so perfect for Tucker. I loved the banter between them, and their chemistry leaped right off the page! It was great getting to know more about Ethan and Zeke and how they also would do anything to support and protect not only Mia, but each other as well. I have always loved the whole Decker clan, and they are a huge part of this story as they continue to prove how fiercely loyal, loving, and supportive they are. There is nothing they won't do for each other and those in need, and they accept Sage as one of their own. The thing that I enjoy most about Ms. Burgoa's writing is that she doesn't rush her characters trials, making it feel genuine and honest to me.
I loved listening to the beautiful narration by George Newbern, and Grace Grant. They skillfully brought out the full range of emotions these characters experienced, making me feel them deeply as well. Newbern and Grant compliment each other so perfectly, bringing this beautiful, poignant, and sweet story to life, and making it even more captivating. It makes me excited for more about the Sinners Of Seattle!

Romance at its best

This is one of my favourite reads and George Newbern and Grace Grant did a great job bringing this story and the characters to life.

Us after You is an emotional read that captivated me and if you are looking for a beautifully written romance with characters that have depth and that you can connect with look no further than this novel, this author has given us a love story that you can tell came from the heart.
I’m not going to write a review full of spoilers because I believe you need to read this book with no preconceived ideas it’s a story that needs to be looked at first hand so I’m just going to tell you how this book made me feel.
I was touched on so many levels , I cried, I smiled, I laughed and at times I wanted to throw my kindle at the wall , this love story is not all sweetness and light, at times it’s dark but the one thing that comes out throughout this book is there is light at the end of the tunnel, from sadness comes happiness and from hate comes love. This is a book I highly recommend for all romance lovers, this author is not afraid to talk about subjects other may shy away from and for me that as well as the wonderful characters and the way the story flowed made this a wonderful read and a wonderful listen

Tucker and Sage!

Tucker’s family is complicated which also means that his feelings about them are as well. He found solace with the other members of the band he formed, and they are more like brothers than friends. There is nothing he wouldn’t do for them or them for him.

Sage grew up in a wealthy and privileged style but the cost she paid almost destroyed her. She has now built a new life for herself far away from her past and the terrible memories it holds.

Even though Sage’s sister married Tucker’s bandmates there was always a distance between them until disaster strikes and they find themselves responsible for her niece Mae. Now they must work together to ensure her parent’s wishes are carried out and along the way they may just find the love and family they have always wanted.

Both Tucker and Sage’s pasts will break your heart but the way they opened their hearts to Mae also allowed them to open their hearts to each other and that was magical to see. I thought that the narrators did a great job of bringing out the personalities of these captivating characters.
