After All A Hate to Love Standalone Romance eBook Karina Halle

Oh gosh, I always feel like I can never do Karina's books justice with a review, but I will try....

I know I have said this previously, but it must be repeated--the way Karina describes a location, or a character's outfit is so vivid that when I go to google it it's spot on. I honestly love that in a book it adds to the layers of the story. You know what else I love? Excellent dialogue and After All definitely has that in my opinion. The emotions I went through while reading this book probably would not have happened at the level that they did for me if the dialogue was lacking.

Oh and the chemistry was off the charts, I felt the tension and highly enjoyed the steamy scenes. This story will go on my re-read list for sure.

Thank you Karina for allowing me to read this book before the release!

After All A Hate to Love Standalone Romance eBook Karina Halle Reviews

Wow! What a deliciously sweet, steamy and swoon worthy read! After All is a perfect light summer read that's packed with feels.

After reading Before I Ever Met You, I hoped to see more from the secondary characters, Emmett and Alyssa. My expectations were totally surpassed.

A hot playboy actor. A prickly no-nonsense girl. A hook up at a wedding. A proposition leading to a lie. The lines between real and fake start to blur.

Emmett. Sheesh where do I even start. He's hot, a dirty talking scoundrel, an alpha. He had a rough early life but he's got such a worthy heart, even if he feels otherwise. From the start, he wants Alyssa. When circumstances put them together for 3 months he makes the absolute most of it from the get go.

"Because I’ll treat you like a f****ng queen, the way no one else has, the way you deserve to be treated."

Alyssa can be prickly and she's guarding herself from future hurts. She knows Emmett's type and she's sure it'll only lead to one thing. But how long can anyone last against him?

"F****ng hell, he’s like a book boyfriend come to life."

"I love a gentleman as much as the next girl, but damn it, Emmett sure has a knack for making me appreciate a scoundrel."

I was expecting a light summer read to get me through the holiday weekend without much thought on my part. While it is that, it's so much more. Lots of heart, humor, wit and charm.

"When I think about her, I think about just her. I think about what she does to me, what she means to me."

*THUD* Sorry, just me swooning
Oh man. How can I do a review justice for such a great fun, and perfect summer read by Karina Halle? It grips you right from the beginning and doesn't let go. Of course our dirty talking rotten scoundrel was going to have a past, but Emmett blew me away. He has a past but he's also lived a life that isn't quite perfect, but he seems to know what makes himself happy and goes after it. Then there's Alyssa who has worked hard, but has never quite gotten to where she always seems to see herself. Her dream is always in the back of her mind, but she pushes herself forward and challenges herself daily. Plus, she is a witty, a great friend and continuously made me laugh and totally honest with herself. Now if only these two could get on the same page and start believing in the fake. )
"The right person might be complicated or simple or both. The right person will find a way to fit into your cracks until you're flush."
These two have chemistry right off the bat, but it's like a love-hate alcohol induced attraction. It was perfect for their personalities. It made them more believable and fun to interact with one another and their banter is off the hook. They've met their match in one another and it's fun to see the sparks fly and for them to fight the obvious feelings they have for one another.
"And the truth is that it's taken a lot for me to realize what's real and what's not. Being an actor, you're used to living in the grey zone, the space where you start to believe your own lies."
So, if you're looking for a fun, sexy and light summer read with great character interaction and development with a bit of heart thrown in, you've gotten the perfect mix with this book. It has fun and believable characters. They make you laugh and want to be friends with them. And their relationship gives you a little look into Hollywood and the grey zone that seems to be created for peering eyes. But there is always heart in the middle of the chaos and fun. Emmett and Alyssa for the win. 4.5 summer read stars!
