I don’t really know where to begin with the review for Us After You by Claudia Burgoa. This book is a little hard to follow during the first half and is going in the beginning. It jumps back and forth in time and it is hard to keep track of who is talking during the dialogue. The second half of the book is amazing, and I couldn’t put it down. There was heartbreaking drama and a slow burning romance that was swoon worthy. The main female character was a little cold and uncaring towards the plight of others and the former rock star billionaires were a little too good to be believable, but I still couldn’t help liking all the characters. The overall story was a great idea and Burgoa has her own way of storytelling. 4-stars for Us After You by Claudia Burgoa.

I’m not going to write a review full of spoilers because I believe you need to read this book with no preconceived ideas it’s a story that needs to be looked at first hand so I’m just going to tell you how this book made me feel.
I was touched on so many levels , I cried, I smiled, I laughed and at times I wanted to throw my kindle at the wall , this love story is not all sweetness and light, at times it’s dark but the one thing that comes out throughout this book is there is light at the end of the tunnel, from sadness comes happiness and from hate comes love. This is a book I highly recommend for all romance lovers, this author is not afraid to talk about subjects other may shy away from and for me that as well as the wonderful characters and the way the story flowed made this a wonderful read.
This is one of those books I wish would never end. I fell so totally and completely for these characters that they, without a doubt, will always live in my heart. I knew from the first, short, four-page chapter that this story was going to devastate me, and I cherished every second of this journey. From heart wrenching and devastating to inspiring and euphoric, I feasted on every word of this emotional journey and was torn between reading quickly to find out how things resolved and slowly savoring every word.

Oh my heart, y’all, this book! It ruined, wrecked and devastated me in the most agonizing, beautiful ways.
