This was my first Sienna Mynx and inter-racial romance book I've ever read.I really didn't like Dylan at all at first glance. Much like Lauren, I couldn't stand his chauvinism and arrogance. However by the end of the book I had a complete 180 on him (and I think I feel just a little bit in love as well). I could understand why he was so jaded and didn't have the highest opinion of women (not justifying but mommy issues). I don't know how any can not melt over a guy being in love with you for six years and going to great lengths to help your buisness. Not to mention the numerous ways he supported and showed up for her (especially when contrasted with Lauren's relationship with Monty). And then there's Lauren who has a lot of trust issues and doesn't really have a good reason to trust in love, especially when it comes to men. The road leading up to these two coming together was enjoyable. It didn't just happen in one day or weekend. It was six years in the making. It was nice to see Dylan do a 180 where Lauren was concerned and Lauren learning to open her heart and actually trust a man enough to love him and have that love be returned. Sienna Mynx is fast becoming one of my favorites. This book was explosive from the first page, and I read it straight through because I just could not put it down. Dylan and Lauren were a match made from the start. Their rivalry made them perfect for one another. The fought hard, but loved even harder; and the loving was simply off the charts. The love scenes were so vivid and explanatory....some of the best I have read. The was a second love story going on in this book between their best friends Dena and Chet. These two whoa!! Dena's background story was very touching, and the way Chet stepped up for her was great. This was a complete read. It wasn't over before it started, and had many many pages to keep it going, and never a dull moment. I'd love to read more about these 2 couples because it seems as if their story could go on a bit further....well done!
What do You think about Love After War (2012)?
