Afterglow: A Brother's Best Friend Romance Kindle Edition

SHE'LL BREAK ALL THE RULES TO BE HIS GOOD GIRL.

IZZY
From a young age, I knew who I was and what I liked. So when Leo became a part of the picture, I thought he could be my Mr. Right.
Things seemed perfect for over a year before I started to really see his true colors. He started by slowly breaking the rules we set up at the beginning of our relationship, then he wasn’t coming home until almost 2 am most nights, but my final straw was when he stonewalled me and refused to talk about the issues we were having.
Realizing quickly he wasn’t the person I thought he was, I knew I needed to get out.
Only, he wasn’t on board, and instead left me beaten and bruised. I couldn’t turn to the cops, so I went to the only person I thought could help. Dax– my brother's best friend. I never expected his help to stir up old feelings, though, and a new secret to keep…

DAX
Isabella Thatcher was never anything more than my best friend's little sister until she called me asking for a favor.
Being the Dom I am, I’m no stranger to secrets, so when she called in the middle of the night crying for my help without telling her family, I felt obligated to say yes.
It was the doctor in me that took her into my home and helped nurse her wounds. It let me see her in a light I never would have imagined.
Izzy isn’t the kid I used to know. Now she’s a woman, begging for dominance in the bedroom and comfort outside of it.
Ignoring how wrong our relationship may seem to others, I keep her close and vow to help her in any way I can, no matter the price.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Spicy Romance I LOVED
    Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2023

    I don’t have enough words to express just how much I ADORE this author! Laura John’s books are guaranteed to include a great storyline, interesting characters, normalization of mental health issues and treatment including therapy and/or medication while proving LOVE comes in a variety of ways and providing a wonderful HEA for the story’s couple.

    This particular story, Afterglow, dips into the world of the kink community and does a fantastic job of providing some information and details to help those who don’t have much knowledge a good starting point and possibly wet the readers appetite to learn more on their own. I’m definitely doing more research after reading it. It is a M/F romance with unique and interesting characters that are realistic and pretty relatable. The story is fast paced and had enough action to keep me entranced and devouring the book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Dax and Izzy
    Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2023

    I truly enjoyed this book. Dax and Izzy's story has all the elements of a great story: strong characters, witty banter, suspense, angst and plenty of spice. Izzy may be the only girl in her family, but she is far from a pampered princess. I loved her resilience in the face of so many challenges. This brother's best friend romance was expertly written and well paced. Great story. I loved so many of the secondary characters as well. Please note the trigger warnings. Overall wonderful read.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Dax & Izzy
    Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2023
    This is my first book I’ve read from this author and the story didn’t disappoint. I felt sorry for Izzy and all she went through with Leo. I think Dax was a good Dom for the most part, but I did find parts to be very unrealistic. Especially the last scene in the book. I thought Izzy was just probably going along and not using her safe word as she didn’t wasn’t to disappoint Dax. 10 was so beyond stupid and showed lack of respect for Izzy in my opinion. It was almost insane to me and Dax was just trying to put on a good show. For being a physician, he should realize the toll that number can have on anyone and how subspace can impact someone’s thinking. Shame on him! No good Dom should be that reckless in my opinion! Dax had some growing up to do with that stunt alone. Kind of funny that Izzy made a statement about BDSM being given a bad rap. It's stupidity like that - that sure doesn't help. I also found Briana beyond annoying. She may be a Dom, but she needed to chill out or get the F out. I felt sorry for Caidance to put up with that from her partner. This shows lack of respect yet again. Those were the main reasons for my four star review. I did enjoy the mixture of romantic suspense along with kink. I received an ARC copy.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Kinky brother’s best friend romance with suspense!!
    Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2023
    Afterglow by Laura John is a suspenseful, spicy romance guaranteed to keep you entertained. Izzy knew early on that she wanted a relationship with a Dominant, but it was a process to find the right one. She thought she found that in Leo, until he left her beaten and broken on the floor. She called the one person she knew in the lifestyle who might help her… her brother’s best friend, Dax, the man she has measured every guy against since she was a teenager. As danger swirls around them, Dax begins to see Izzy as the woman she has become and quickly succumbs to the attraction. Will they find long-lasting happiness together, or will the lurking threats get in the way?

    I was pleasantly surprised by this book! Many books that are set in the kink community focus heavily on the steamy scenes and have little to no substance. This book has it all—tons of heat, compelling characters, suspense and intrigue, drama, angst, action, and love! One of my favorite things about the book was the open communication. In so many romance books of any trope, people just don’t communicate with one another, which gets frustrating. Even when issues came up that needed discussed with Izzy’s family, they listened, adjusted, and were supportive. It was just a nice change of pace. This author always seems to write emotional and difficult situations authentically and in an entertaining way as well. Izzy and Dax were relatable and noteworthy individually, and made a divine couple. I’m hoping this becomes a series, so I can see more glimpses of them. Plus, Nixon and Marcus totally need a story.😂

    I received an advanced review copy for free, and am leaving this review voluntarily.
