One uncovered truth shines a light on the throne of lies I’ve been sitting on for years.A revelation with the power to test the bonds of brotherhood like never before.My ruthless obsession to protect what’s mine burns hotter than ever.Promises I’ve made to my brothers I burn to keep.Vows made to my wife I swear to honor.Through the web of tangled loyalties, one thing remains clear.Hope is … honor.
Through the web of tangled loyalties, one thing remains clear.
Hope is embedded in my soul.
A love so rare I’ve spilled blood to protect it.
Together, we’ve built something beautiful, significant, and ours.
With her by my side, my reign is complete.

Autumn Jones Lake does not disappoint with the eleventh addition to the Lost Kings MC series. I highly recommend reading After Burn, prior to reading this title as the story flows from the previous title, and this title is jam packed full of twists and turns, and surprising reveals.
You would think by the eleventh title in a series, I would be getting sick of seeing the same characters, but these characters and their stories continue to evolve and grow, and with each new title it feels like you are re-connecting with long lost friends.
After Glow is packed full of the emotion, heat, heart, humor and touch of intrigue and violence I’ve come o expect from Autumn’s work. Once again the connection and devotion that Hope and Rock share just melts your heart. I adored the fun, playful and irreverent banter that the brothers of the Lost Kings MC share throughout this title, quite often I found myself laughing out loud.
I picked this title up and did not want to put it down. Autumn sucked me into this tale of loyalty, love, brotherhood and devotion, and it’s left me even more eager for the twelfth title, and I really hope that the next book she writes is going to be Z’s story.
Where do I begin with this book? First off omg I have waited a lifetime for this book and hav ed been a fan from the beginning of the series and a huge Hope And Rock Fan but After Glow is beyond any book I have read it has a few surprises and shockers in it that will blow you away and now I’m so excited for the next book for Z . I’m in book coma after reading it and give Autumn High 5s on the storylines and if I could give this book a 100 I would. Absolutely loved it.
I’m so glad we got another book about Rock and Hope and what an AMAZING book it was!!! I’m so excited for them! Their lives together definitely have their ups and downs but they are living their best life! I love these characters. Rock is my favorite King!! What a jaw dropping twist!! I never saw that coming but I freaking love it! I’m so excited to see what happens next!
An Astonishing & Heart Melting Journey for the Prez & First Lady… “After Glow” is the second half of Rock and Hope’s story leading up to Gracie. It is Autumn Jones Lake’s 14th installment and 11th full-length novel of her Lost Kings MC series, and the 5th full book devoted to Rock and Hope. Who, after reading this one, have cemented themselves deep into my heart. I simply cannot get enough of them! My love for these two truthfully quadruped over the course of this book. Their unbreakable devotion to each other, their Lost Kings (LOKI) family, and what they believe in is heart melting. Their fierce determination to protect what’s theirs, simply stunning. And Rochlan, my god the integrity and loyalty contained within this man, truly astounding.
Honestly Lake’s depiction of Rochlan over the course of this series has had me believing in book boyfriends for the first time ever. But this book, her writing here with this story, stomped on my “awwww” and protective “mama bear” triggers so hard, it has pretty much ruined me for any other man. Especially where it pertained to his reactions and actions surrounding what Lake does to him here.
I swear, if I didn’t already believe in the excellence that is Autumn Lake’s writing, this book cements her place in my mind as an MC genre literary genius. Because here, as if Rock and Hope alone weren’t enough to cleave readers chests wide open. As if the care, protection, and loyalty the rest of the LOKI crew devote to Hope and each other isn’t heart squeezing enough. The twist Lake places within this second half, instantly explodes your soul and makes you instantly realize just how great a writer Lake truly is.
My god what a story! I was NOT prepared for the turn of events occuring within this installment. Because while it initially moves nicely along the path of Hope and Rock preparing for Gracie, tying up this latest path for them. And then slowly changing gears, and setting up future books with a bunch of delicious plot tidbits and breadcrumbs. Lake suddenly stops short, slaps your swooning self awake, and almost casually lobs a gigantic bombshell into Hope and Rock’s lap, literally giving you literary whiplash!
However, frustratingly, after the initial dust settles, there is no real conclusion to it. After the nerve-wracking, nail-biting, build-up to this one astonishing reveal moment, no real resolution happens. The whole chunk is just sort of put on the back burner to simmer and not looked at again. Something, that for an impatient, heart-on-my-sleeve soul like myself, was maddening. And then as I was desperately seeking a conclusion to this first astounding perdiciment and grumbling under my breath at her about the meanness of her making me wait again. Lake casually stands up from the book page, whispers “hold my beer”, and then proceeds to drop ANOTHER revelation!
As if the first truth bomb wasn’t enough to drive me bonkers, she folds in an epilogue that gives you one of the biggest – W.T.F. – moments of the entire series. It’s a true, “HOLY CRAP” moment. But one that confirmed for me something I was honestly already curious about, and suspicious of, for several books now. And one, that honestly has me worried for Lilly and the possible rage and murderous intent that my very well be heading her way in the next few books.
However, as big as the epilogue twist is. It still didn’t make me forget about the lack of resolution for Rock and the first bombshell. SO, I am truly, truly hoping this bit continues in Z’s books, because if not, I may very well go insane waiting!
This book WRECKED me! In the best possible ways. I’ll never get over the love Hope and Rock show each other in every single book. I hope we have more books about them in the future!
And that epilogue/preview of what is to come in the next books!! OMG!!
11 books in and it’s still as fantastic as ever. These characters just suck you in and you never want to leave their world. A few little surprises one which I wasn’t expecting and the usual great banter between the guys that we have grown to know and love just makes this series one that I can never get enough of. Can’t wait for Z’s story.
I LOVE LOVE L-O-V-E!!!!! ALL of the LOKI books. Autumn has a way of really making you feel like you know these characters. (And her since apparently I’m on a first name basis) I love that these guys are tough but have such big hearts. A great series to escape to!
I devoured this read. Absolutely loved it! Hope and Rick’s story comes full circle as well as plot twists that you don’t see coming. I desperately need Z’s book NOW! I highly recommend this book, must read series in order.
This is the 11th book in the Lost Kings MC series. Autumn you have done it again,
WOW is all I can say 🙂
in “Afterburn” (Lost Kings MC 10) there is a HUGE shocker, we find out the results in this book, which in turn leads to another shocker (We call it a Chapter 11 :O ) when the devoted readers of the series say Autumn writes in a way that makes you FEEL what your reading…trust us….I laughed, I cried, she pulls you into her books. give them a try.
If you like Biker romance you will not be disappointed in this series or this author.
This book kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time wondering what would happen. This was a perfect conclusion to the duet within the Lost Kings series. Rock and Hope are one of my all-time favorite couples and I love how this author keeps bringing them back. This book really shows Hope’s growth pertaining to club life and the love she has for Rock’s brothers. Rock and Hope give each other strength and the love they have for each other you can feel through the pages. I was completely mind blown in one part of the story, I really didn’t see that coming. You will just have to read the story do you know what part I’m talking about. I highly, highly recommend this book!!
