Based on Anna Todd's novel, AFTER follows Tessa Langford , a dedicated student, dutiful daughter, and loyal girlfriend to her high-school sweetheart, as she enters her first semester in college armed with grand ambitions for her future.
Her guarded world opens up when she meets the dark, mysterious Hardin Scott Tiffin , a magnetic, brooding rebel who makes her question all she thought she knew about herself and what she wants from life. Rated PG for sexual content and some college partying. Did you know Edit. Trivia Josephine Langford admitted in an interview that she read the first few chapters of After on Wattpad several years before being cast as Tessa.
Goofs During Tessa's debate with Hardin about "Pride and Prejudice", one of Hardin's many tattoos shown is one in Hebrew on his right upper arm. The letters of these two words are written backwards on his arm left to right , thus the words don't make any sense that way.
They're supposed to be written from right to left, and they mean: "We are all stupid". Quotes Hardin Scott : She took my hand and led me out of the darkness and showed me that whatever our souls are made of, hers and mine are the same. Faith was different - more respectable than her family. She alone took care of her disabled little brother, Scottie, and made every effort to prove herself. I cheered when she returned to town twelve years later, successful, happy and more self-confident.
And somehow, Linda Howard made me sympathize with Gray. As someone else said in their review - I'm sorry that I can't recall who - Gray walks the fine line between being an alpha and a jerk. There were many reasons for his hatred toward Faith's family when he was a kid, including his father's mysterious disappearance. The real truth is later revealed years later when Faith returns to town and begins receiving threatening notes.
IMO Gray is one of Howard's best heroes - tall, broad shoulders, long dark hair. A beautiful, cynical man. The relationship between Faith and Gray is full of sexual tension. Good Gawd - the scene on the porch is HOT! Most authors try to write sexual tension and fail, only managing to focus on an overload of lustful thoughts. But Howard is a master at writing true sexual tension, even in the bickering between the H and H. All in all this was an awesome book and it has earned a permanent spot on my keeper shelf.

The hero is abusive and the heroine is a doormat who makes excuses for his ill treatment of her. It's not fair to blame someone, treat them poorly, and encourage the whole town to treat them poorly because of the sins of the parent.
This is one very unhealthy "romance. I agree. After the Night now sits in some used bookstore waiting for the next person who will love it or hate it. View all 10 comments. Aug 20, A. View all 20 comments. I first read this book in And I still re-read it at least once a year. Once of my all time favorites. View all 7 comments. Faith Devlin has come back to Prescott, Louisiana after twelve years away. She was cruelly thrown out of her home at the young age of fourteen.
Though it was no fault of hers, Faith suffered the disgrace her mother, Renee, had brought down on them. Their actions left two families very nearly destroyed, and Faith is back to find out some answers and closure. Faith fell in love with Gray Rouillard, the admired son of the most powerful and wealthy family in Prescott, from afar when she was just a little girl.
Faith is no longer a little helpless girl, and I loved her determination. I adored Faith! She was a woman who came from nothing with zero advantages and still managed to have a strong, positive spirit without being overcome by bitterness over the past. The cruel way in which Faith was treated because of the action of others angered me so much!
At first I hated Gray! But after getting some of his perspective I eased up on my feelings. I love a smart heroine! Faith kept her goals in place, and her resolve meant that Gray had work to prove himself, to gain her trust. Their romance was hot, lusty, and tumultuous, and I loved every battle they fought! Linda Howard wrote an epic, captivating story, and soon after finishing After the Night , which by the way, was published over sixteen years ago!!
I highly recommend her addictive writing! It was totally worth it because Natalie Ross' narration is excellent!! If you're cramped for reading time like I am this is an excellent way to read a book by switching back and forth between e-copy to audio. I listen on my commute back and forth to work, when I'm getting ready and when I cook dinner. View all 13 comments.

Aside from the fact that I had never heard of her until recently, well, I've rectified that too. This book was GOLD. I loved this and every second spent reading it. This book has been around for a while and so many people have read it, so I'll skip any type of synopsis. The plot was great, the suspense built up beautifully. I did suspect the culprit early on, but the reasons for why stumped me.
The characters were incredibly well developed. They were infused with the perfect blend of good and bad, right and wrong. They were fleshed out thoroughly, their actions making sense with who they were. I loved Faith from the start. Growing up poor and being called trash all based on the actions of your family and not you, is tragic. Being removed from your home and being made to feel like an animal is heartbreaking.
What I loved about her so much was the degree of empathy and understanding regarding her circumstances and those responsible for them. She empathized with Gray and despite his severe assholish tendencies, she gave him the benefit of the doubt.
It took some major backbone to walk back into Prescott resembling the woman that brought the town to its knees. It took even bigger character to face off with the man that haunted her dreams and resided in her fears. But Faith Devlin did it with style. Gray was such an interesting character. His hurt and contempt towards Faith was often ill directed, but he came to see that your family doesn't decide who you are, but your actions do.
He wanted Faith from the start. He couldn't understand the dichotomy between his mind and need, but that didn't stop him from trying! He was incredible to read about, sounded sexy as sin.
The sexual tension was off the charts. It came off the pages like dust. Magic, entrancing dust. I think LH writes smexy time brilliantly. The scenes are so thick with sensuality and power. I loved it and think we need to read more of that than the formulaic sex scenes of late. The ending was perfect and really brought everything full circle. I wish there was an epilogue though, not to say it didn't end well, it ended amazingly! But I wanted to see how people treated Faith after everything she did, I wanted to see her life with Gray, that sexy pirate-like beast of a man.
He was truly bigger than the pages given to write about him. I am planning to read much more of LH now and hope her other work makes me feel as good as this book after reading it.

I'd both the 12 hrs audiobook narrated by Natalie Ross in my ears and sometimes also the ebook in my other hand.
OMG, this will be IS so very good! I was in a kind of dreamy 'book-love' in this romance already after a feew chapter Completely enchanted and my tears was flowing. A keeper, an unforgettable epic romance story to remember.
After the Night is also the story about the truth about that by then 12 years old devastating scandal surrounding Faith's mother and Gray's father elopement and shameless sex-affair. Your mother is a whore and your father is a thieving drunk. The night that so mercilessly changed both their lives. One horrible night no one can ever forget! The hate, anger, and roughness of the gritty degradation is impossible to wash off.
Or is it possible. What was the truth, what was the rumor, what really happened? Most of you have probably already read it anyway. But a few short words My only tiny whining is perhaps that this narrator made our hero's voice slightly dorky and that the passage of time since it was written sometimes is noticeable. Otherwise a fantastic good "from childishly sweet swarming love to adult mature heat need" Romance. Best, for me, was of course.. The stunning first part that told the story of their childhood and the tentative teenage years.
The first love, the first connection. OMG again.. There, in the beginning had After the Night really true classic 'grand sob novel' status.
My heart broke He had sat for hours, too tired to play but content to stare at the twinkling lights on the Christmas tree. My tear channels opened completely Men are different from women; the more excited we are, the more like cavemen we sound. I could barely speak English with you, much less French. Still captivating interesting and a very good reading listening.
Thank you dear Irina, who nudged me that this book is an absolute must-read CR. You are so right, sweetie. View all 53 comments. Exactly, what I needed to get me out of my book funk!! I loved it!! Favorite book character as well, Faith and Gray. Linda Howard is officially an all time favorite author!! Aug 22, Rose rated it it was amazing Shelves: favorites. Fighting with her was more exhilarating than making love to other women.
There is a mystery that connects them to their ugly past. It was easy to guess who the culprit was, but the romance is the most enjoyable aspect of this amazing book. She halted, frozen to the spot. She wasn't weak even when her own family and the whole town wanted to bring her down. And it was this strength that attracted the most powerful man to her. The hero was a strong, powerful man, who hated her, yet was so confused by his emotions and attraction to her.
Gray was caring and protective of those he loved. Even though he knew he should hate Faith, he always felt a magnetic attraction to her, which made him see her in a light that is far from all the hatred and anger he felt.

I came across this book when I was searching to read books with cruel heroes, the hero here was cruel at one point not throughout. I like heroes who are cruel at intervals and caring in their twisted way.
It wasn't as much as I expected but I got involved with the story and the main characters were amazing. This book has mystery, tragedy and romance. Faith Devlin 26 , was a sweet and caring girl born to a drunk father and a whore of a mother.
Fourth among five children it seemed she was the only responsible person in the family. Always a wanderer person she wished to take away her little brother who is ill and retarded, and to be someone of success instead of the labelled "trashy Devlins".
When one night thrown away like a trash by the man she loved changes her life drastically. Grayson Rouillard 34 , was an alluring and mean a-hole. Rich, tall and handsome he was the man of every girls dreams. Gray's father was also a playboy but he loved his children. Gray's mother was a woman who prefers to stay alone and vehemently hates anyone touching her.
It's a wonder she birthed two children. Gray was devastated and felt betrayed when his father left the town and the reason led to the Devlins. Now 12 years later Faith is back in town very different from the way she left. She is back for answers of the past. Unfortunately, the cruel treatment done to her by Gray didn't diminish the feelings she had for him.
Even if he tries to chase her out of town again she is determined to finish what she came here to do. Faith and Gray's attraction is sizzling, Gray keeps pursuing her and is helpless to his lusty thoughts. I love their fights, how stubborn Faith is and the authors description of Gray. There is a little tragey, an unrequinted love and betrayal. Gray's mother is a top notch bitch, to me she is worse than Faith's mother.
In a way Gray, Faith and Gray's father suffered because of her. The crimes are also done in her favour, when she didn't even participate in any human business.
Dec 02, Amy Foxy Blogs rated it it was amazing Shelves: library2go , stars , books , headphones. Faith Devlin grew up as white trash. Her mom was the town whore and her dad was the town drunk. Her siblings were no better, except for her mentally handicapped brother, Scotty. She made sure to not be like her family. As a young girl her mother was the mistress to Guy Rouillard a powerful and rich man. He's also a town powerhouse and when he talks people listen.
He is a total bad boy who is protective of those he loves. The mystery around the scandal was an intriguing part of the story. View all 47 comments.

I read this book years and years ago and I am so incredulously furious at myself for not remembering any of the characters or the storyline. I had no memory of this book apart from remembering the way I frantically scoured the internet looking for books like After The Night.
Despite my selective amnesia, the title of this book always managed to elicit a warm feeling in me. So I decided to reread it again. Because reading it was as exhilarating as the first time, if not more.
As much as I love this book.
