Blog Tour: After this Night (Seductive Nights #2) by Lauren Blakely

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21420593-after-this-night?ac=1
This is the conclusion of Julia and Clay's story that began in the New York Times Bestseller Night After Night.

"Why do you like me tied up sometimes?"
"Because the way I feel for you is so out of control that this is one way for me to feel in control again."


Their world was passion, pleasure and secrets.

Far too many secrets. But Clay Nichols can't get Julia Bell out of his mind. He's so drawn to her, and to the nights they shared, that he can't focus on work or business. Only her. And she's pissing him off with her hot and cold act. She has her reasons though-she's trying to stay one step ahead of the trouble that's been chasing her for months now, thanks to the criminal world her ex dragged her into. If only she can get out of this mess, then maybe she can invite the man who ignites her back in her life, so she can have him-heart, mind and body.

He won't take less than all of her, and the full truth too. When he runs into her again at her sister's wedding, they have a second chance but she'll have to let him all the way in. And they'll learn just how much more there is to the intense sexual chemistry they share, and whether love can carry them well past the danger of her past and into a new future, after this night...

Please note: This book is intended for 18+ due to dirty talk, light bondage, and lots of sexy scenes. 



Excerpt

 
Then he saw a new email land in his inbox. From her. The subject line gave nothing away: Hi. But Pavlovian response kicked in, and he opened it before he could think. Because seeing her name still felt like a damn good thing, still held the promise of a sexy note, a naughty line, or a sweet nothing. But more than any of those options, it held the promise of her.

subject: Hi
Clay,
Hi. I’m lying awake in bed thinking of last night. How only 24 hours ago you were here with me. How much better it was to sleep with your arms around me, all safe and warm and snug. How much I would love to have you here again. But I know that won’t happen. And I understand. I truly understand. If I were you, I would hate me too. If I were you, I’d be suspicious as hell. And I probably wouldn’t trust me either. So I get 100 percent where you’re coming from and I wish there were another way. I want you in my life so badly that I can feel this ache where you’re supposed to be. But I know I can’t have you, and I’m sorry I can’t be open right now. You deserve more than this. More than me. All I will say is this sucks, and if I could turn back time and do certain things over there’s a lot I would change.
But I wouldn’t change a second with you.
Wow. I just re-read my note. I think that’s the mushiest I’ve ever been with anyone. Damn, you did a number on me, and I’ve got it bad for you. I’m hitting send while I still have the guts in me to do so, even though I will probably regret it. Except this is all true.
Xoxo
Julia
He dropped his head in his hand, and cursed. A wave of frustration and longing rolled through him, and he knew he should turn the damn phone off and ignore her. But this woman, she was under his skin. He hated lies but he’d be lying to himself if he pretended he’d forgotten her in a day.

subject: Hi
I don’t hate you. The farthest thing from it.
He hit send before the regret washed over him, as it eventually would, he was sure.











 Oh my gosh, Lauren made an explosive and fantastic trilogy come together with the BEST , AMAZING and PERFECT ending.
I was so worried when Night after Night ended.

 My entire mind was screaming..NOOOOO don't let this go like this. But Lauren she has a way with writing angst with just the right level of drama. You just know she's not going to torture you too long
I loved this series so freaking much. 
I found this love story just full of metaphors. It probably was just me but I saw things from Julia being a bartender and making all of these amazing and passionate recipes and how her and Clay just "mixed and blended" in the best way. Their love story was a perfect recipe and let me buzzing with pleasure
 
I can't say loud enough how Clay is just the perfect guy. His sexiness is hot but his heart is just phenomenal.

 The way he feels for Julia is magical and passionate. It's like you can sense the love and possessiveness leaping off the pages.




 Julia's insecurities had me almost wanting to shake her like one of her purple snow globes a few times. But the love she had for Clay is what drove her fear..she never new love like that was even a possibility for her. I really adored Julia and how hard she tried to protect those she loved. 
What may have started as passion grew to something so big and so explosive her heart could barely contain her feelings. 
 
I am in awe over this and can't wait to snap up and read all other books by Lauren Blakely. I did notice something special with the characters in this series. I can't wait to find out if I'm right. I even loved how she had the tattoo shop "No Regrets" mentioned. Very clever Ms. Blakely. 

Oh and ..Saturday in New Orleans when I come up to you stuttering..it's your fault. You've created a massive FAN and stalking is gonna get worse LOL.
