After Sundown

By: Linda Jones, Linda Howard

Narrated by: John Chancer

Sela Gordon, shy owner of a Tennessee general store, prefers solitude. If anyone can chip away at her protective shell it’s the handsome, mysterious ex-military man who’s been hiding for two years in the wilds of Cove Mountain. But when he warns her that a catastrophic solar storm with the capability of taking down the power grids is approaching, Sela must come out of her shell and be the leader Wears Valley needs.

Living in self-imposed exile, Ben Jernigan has learned the hard way to look out only for number one. With a top-notch security system, he’s serious about keeping people at a distance. Yet he has to caution the undeniably sexy Sela about the impending threat - and now she’s making it too easy for him to lower his guard.

As panic spreads, Sela and Ben discover that in the dark, cut off from the outside world, there’s no more playing it safe - in life or in love.

Good, but disappointed

Linda Howard has been a favorite author of mine for 20+ years. I have expected such great stories from her, but with this one I was disappointed. The premise of electric grid failing and country falling into chaos just wasn't what I was wanting especially with current pandemic crisis our country is facing.
That said, the authors did a good job building the characters and providing great descriptions that I could visualize. John Chancer performed the book well, but lacked some of the panache I expect in a narrator of a top author book. Audible Studios produced this book instead of the publisher. This is the full length book whereas the book publisher version is abridged.

Good Story Overall

I generally enjoyed listening to this book. It had a slow ramp up so I dont think I would have enjoyed reading it. The story kind of plodded along. I enjoyed the romance and the strong female characters. The story made me think about how Ibwould act and how prepared I would be I a dooms day scenario. Fairly nice story overall.

Very enjoyable and timely.

Enjoyed the story. Many parallels to the current world situation that made me think about how much worse it could be.

great story.

I love Linda Howard and couldn't wait to read this book. I enjoyed the characters and the theme of the story. survival after the grid goes down for good. everyone should read this book.

After Sundown

A good storyline with great characters. This book required a different narrator. Me. Chances should never do female voices.
