This is another amazing part of Hallie's story, we fell in love with her in Between the Pain and my heart broke in book one. This book repairs my heart and continues the story of Sean's love and Hallie's struggle to get her life back after Ryan's death.

Gia Riley you wrote an amazing love story that starts before pain, endures pain and helps heal the pain. Sean knows that Hallie is it for him and she needed to recover from the loss of her boyfriend tragically, but how long do you have to wait for someone to be ready to love again.

Knowing her heart and where she wants to go with Sean has never been a problem but knowing and doing are two different things. Also coming into play is how much music helps her heal, through music she heals and meets Colby at an open mic night where they both sing. I was unsure how to feel about Colby and him pursuing Hallie.

Sean's past has never been brought up until this book where we finally get a glimpse of things when Hallie and Sean are at a conference in Las Vegas. His future is brought face to face with his past, can Hallie deal with what she learns and all that comes with it or will this be the end of the relationship?

This story once again had me in a mess of emotions just like book one, but this is one book you want to one click!

In After the Pain, Gia Riley provided me with the characterization that I felt like I was missing in Between the Pain. I got to learn about the characters' background stories and see the development of Hallie and Sean's relationship through all of their ups and downs. I really felt like I was able to connect to the characters in After the Pain, and I really cared what happened to them throughout the story. There were smiles and tears involved, a sure sign that I truly enjoyed a book! There was drama and there were definitely ups and downs, but in the end, there was resolution, and Hallie and Sean got the happy ending that they deserved and that I so wanted for them!

**A copy of this book was provided in exchange for an honest review**
