After the Storm by Laura Pavlov

4.0

I love a good second-chance romance. Cage and Presley are so good together. They fight but at the end of the day they love each other passionately. Time hasn’t always been on their side, Presley marries somebody else when Cage has a baby with somebody else and they spend years of their lives separated. When they come back together due to Presley returning to Cottonwood Cove, it’s obvious that they never stopped loving each other. Cage is this grumpy, protective, caring single-father. Presley is this quirky, independent, loving person. The only people that grumpy Cage shows any emotion other than grumpiness are his family, Gracie, and Presley. It seems for a while that they won’t end up together because of where they’re at in their lives and the distance between them but that all gets resolved in the most unexpected of ways. Cage, Presley, Gracie, and all their animals get the happily ever after in the end, and I was here for it. Loved it.

The characters and simultaneously quirky but also super relatable. Which the author did an awesome job with! They really draw you in and you become invested in their story and if they’ll end up together. There’s a lot of tension and love in the book.
