LOVE AFTER ALL is another of the Hope novels, which
can be read as a
stand alone. Characters from other books in the series
are in
this one. This is a great series to read. The stories
are
about some re-established relationships and some newly
developed ones.
High school math teacher Chelsea Gardner has developed
what
she considers a perfect plan for finding the right man for
herself. After some failed relationships she has come up
with
what she considers a perfect list of requirements for what
she's looking for in a man.
Bar owner Sebastian "Bash" Palmer thinks her list is
ridiculous and intends to prove her wrong by offering to
help
her find her "perfect" man.
Chelsea feels Bash is totally not the right one because he
hardly meets any of her requirements -- but she's drawn to
him
anyway. The two of them begin a physical relationship
that
they intend to keep casual. But what started out as
casual
has turned into more than either of them saw coming.
Bash feels that he is not a sure thing for a committed
relationship. So when Chelsea tells Bash how her feelings
for
him have changed into something more -- he backs off.
He's
scared because the one serious relationship he had was a
failure. After backing away from Chelsea he realizes what
a
huge mistake he has made and enlists her friends to help
him
fix things.
Chelsea and Bash both learn a lesson in trusting each
other
and basing their feelings on their current relationship
and
forgetting about any past relationships.
The various characters provide some lively entertainment.
And
when Bash hurts Chelsea, by backing away from her, he gets
to
see what girl power really means. Because he knows that
without their help he will never get another chance with
Chelsea.
If LOVE AFTER ALL is the first A Hope Novel you
have read I recommend the
others as well as any books by Jaci Burton. You will not
be
disappointed!
SUMMARY
In the latest novel from the New York Times
bestselling author of Hope Burns, a woman discovers
that the man she least expects is exactly what she needs…
High school math teacher Chelsea Gardner has the perfect
plan. She’s tired of dating all the wrong men, and after
years of frustration, she’s developed a foolproof list of
requirements for finding “The One.” Bar owner Sebastian “Bash” Palmer finds Chelsea beautiful,
smart and fun, but he thinks her list is ridiculous and
unnecessary. Intent on proving Chelsea is looking
for
love in all the wrong ways, he offers to help her find the
“perfect” man. Chelsea knows Bash isn’t the right guy for her—he barely
meets one of her criteria—but there’s something about the
charismatic man that has her yearning for things that are
most definitely not list approved. Because sometimes, a relationship that looks totally wrong
on paper can turn out incredibly right…
