Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance
What could be more terrifying than falling in love with the person who is your good place? Maybe realizing just a smidge too late that there can be dire consequences to becoming your best friend’s lover.
The lives of Keir Stevens and Selene Georgiou serendipitously collide mid-span on San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, one jarring step ahead of fate. He’s a temporary transplant from Seattle; she’s facing the biggest career opportunity of her life. They have no notion of the common thread that connects them.
As they come to discover they share a similar adversity, their relationship evolves from a fun and frivolous infatuation with nowhere to go into a true friendship with sincerity, humor, and respect at its heart.
It’s awfully hard not to fall in love with that – even if you’re pretty darn certain you shouldn’t.
But when love and friendship suffer their own devastating collision – their interests brutally conflicting – the consequences of blurring the lines between the two suddenly become real. In the end, which one will be the stronger? And more importantly, can either survive?
AFTER EFFECTS is a standalone dual POV adult contemporary romance about the things we choose in life out of all the things that are beyond our choosing – a tale of love and friendship, of time and how we spend it, and of the inner wars that ultimately show us what really matters.

Emotional and moving story
This book was difficult for me to read at times because of the grief both Keir and Selene were dealing with. At times it was too close to my own grief. But I had promised to read and review so I continued to read. I'm glad I finished. It has a wonderful conclusion.
I like that the story goes back and forth between Keir and Selene. You see the progression of their feelings. They are at various stages of grief. It is very moving how their love is able to help them deal with their difficulties.
Be sure to get a copy it is a good read.

ReplyDeleteThanks for being on the tour! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the cover, thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteIf you like the cover, you'll LOVE what's inside. ;) Thank you, Victoria! I'll pass that along to my amazing cover artist, Joshua Bruce. He gave it just a hint of a mystical feel that i didn't realize would be so fitting when we designed it two years ago. Funny how that works...
DeleteI love your cover.
