After the Fall (Tucker Springs Series)

 

I just finished reading After the Fall by L.A. Witt. I read all the other stories in this series with the exception of Where Nerves End also by L.A. Witt. First let me say that I loved Ryan, he's very outgoing or at lease you think he is because of the image he portrays, however he's a bit if a lone wolf. He's all about I'm ok with being out on my own, but in fact he just needed someone to ground him. Not a place but a person. 

Then we have Nathan who came off in the other books as a manwhore, I don't think he's really like that; but he wants people to view him like that because manwhores don't get hurt, and he's been burn more than once. 

The we have the horse Tsarina, ok the horse really shouldn't really play a part in the story,  but she's the what brings them together so therefore we have to pay attention to her. She's a scardy cat when it comes to things of the unknown, and that's where our story starts and it's all her fault. 

Of course I know the story is a bit more complex but the jist of it is; that even when we might not be looking for love, love will find us. Poor Nathan wanted nothing to do with anything that had the big L word but he fell nonetheless. He went through a bumpy ride trying to figure out what he really wanted, and what he felt for Ryan that he almost lost the man he loved. Poor Ryan he was ready to just get up and go, he gave Nathan so many outs that Nathan didn't know how to get him to really listen and see that he really didn't mean to hurt him. 

I think the characters were very realistic and stubborn and strong together. When you view them as individuals, you see their strengths. However, when they're together you can see how well these 2 pieces of a puzzle fit together. Apart they're just as strong and independent, but together they're 1 whole piece that just clicks.  L.A. Witt wrote a very fun and entertaining story that captured me to the fullest, I didn't want to put it down just trying to figure out who was going to ruin it first Ryan or Nathan. 

On a separate note it was really good to somewhat catch up with some of the characters from the previous books!!!

What I love about Wattpad

www.wattpad.com
Where should I start:  Well let me begin by saying I love Wattpad. As I am blogging about it I would guess you know that I do. First, there are lots of great in the making Authors there in all different genres. I discovered m/m there or as they like to refer to it as bxb. Most of the writes there are very involved with their fans, it's very good how they take into account some of the things us readers as a whole demand. Second, a lot of the authors there (not all) are very young still so their ideas are still very refreshing and unique. Don't get me wrong they still have to improvement, but even your most seasoned writers still need to improve to make their readers happy. I discovered Wattpad when I was looking for an e-reader on my phone, and I thought I should give it a try as nothing really hurts when you at least try it once. I was a bit upset in the beginning when I figured out that it was not professional writer but amateur writers and I did not want to read that. However once I started reading and really got into searching different authors and stories; I really got into it. Now I still Wattpad, I have found great authors on there that I really hope get their chance to shine and take their writing professional. ( I will blog about my favs later) I just wanted to write a bit about Wattpad and why I think it's great for the readers that don't get much time to actually read or that want to take it a bit at a time as the writers post new chapters at their convenience. So check it out and see if you can Wattpad.

Out of the Darkness By Kate Sherwood.

So I'm only 25% in this book but I am stuck on the characters. I love them in the first book so I feel like I know them already but then once I really got into the book I noticed that the characters are still very much complex. I can't wait till I finish it so I can update on it.
