The last sizzling novel in Kristen Proby's Romancing Manhattan series finds a widower falling deeply in love again with a woman who has scars of her own.
After All by USA Today, New York Times, & Wall Street Journal bestseller, Kristen Proby, is now live!
When Carter Shaw’s wife died five years ago, he was left to pick up the pieces not only of his own broken heart but also that of his devastated eight-year-old daughter, Gabby—leaving him with no time for anything else, let alone dating. But recently, Carter has noticed women again and soon even begins dating. No one has stuck around for long, mostly thanks to one very angry Gabby.
Nora Hayes has worked as Carter’s assistant for years. Recently divorced herself, Nora spends many hours at the office and helping Carter with his daughter whom she adores. Despite loving her job and being wrapped up in the Shaw family, Nora’s never given her handsome, kind workaholic boss a second thought, especially in the romance department.
But then the snowstorm of the century hits, and Nora finds herself stranded at work with Carter overnight. And suddenly, she sees Carter in a whole new, sexy light. The sadness that’s lived in his eyes for so long has now been replaced with pure, unadulterated lust—and Nora isn’t quite sure what to do about it. For after the pain of her divorce, she never thought she would give love a second chance.
Carter and Nora have always believed in never combining business with pleasure. But how can they possibly deny the all-consuming chemistry between them...?

Review:
Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
After All is the final novel in the Romancing Manhattan series by Kristen Proby. Carter and Nora are familiar characters to those who have read the previous books and if you haven't fear not because the book is a stand-alone.
I was really liking this novel until the drama came. I felt like Gabby's behavior as out of place and it was not the behavior the Gabby from the previous parts of the book would have. The most important thing that bothered me though was the reason Carter and Nora broke up. Carter's reaction was cringe-worthy and I wanted to hit hin on the head in order to make him realize how wrong he is and at the same time, I think that Nora also overreacted considering not only the drop she dropped but also what Carter thought for a very long time. In my opinion, everyone in that family overreacted about something and I am not a big fan of that. I would have preferred to have either the Gabby or Nora's bomb problem explode. Both were too much for me.
Up to that point, I was really liking these three characters. They were three different people and all of them were good and likable. The romance was on point and I loved seeing Nora been a mom to Gabby and realizing what it truly means to be a mother.
If you don't mind some drama in your book, you should definitely give this a chance. If you are not a big fan of drama, this book might not be for you. I have to add though that I enjoyed most of the book, so I would recommend it with some hesitation.
About Kristen:
Kristen was born and raised in a small resort town in her beloved Montana. In her mid-twenties, she decided to stretch her wings and move to the Pacific Northwest, where she made her home for more than a dozen years.
During that time, Kristen wrote many romance novels and joined organizations such as RWA and other small writing groups. She spent countless hours in workshops, and more mornings than she can count up before the dawn so she could write before going to work. She submitted many manuscripts to agents and editors alike, but was always told no. In the summer of 2012, the self-publishing scene was new and thriving, and Kristen had one goal: to publish just one book. It was something she longed to cross off of her bucket list.
Not only did she publish one book, she’s since published close to thirty titles, many of which have hit the USA Today, New York Times and Wall Street Journal Bestsellers lists. She continues to self publish, best known for her With Me In Seattle and Boudreaux series, and is also proud to work with William Morrow, a division of HarperCollins, with the Fusion Series.
Kristen and her husband, John, make their home in her hometown of Whitefish, Montana with their two pugs and two cats.
