After the Sunset

By: Mary Calmes

Narrated by: Sean Crisden

Two years after riding off into the sunset with ranch owner Rand Holloway, Stefan Joss has made a tentative peace with his new life, teaching at a community college. But the course of true love never does run smooth. Rand wants him home on the ranch; Stef wants an exit strategy in case Rand ever decides to throw him out. Finally, after recognizing how unfair he's being, Stef makes a commitment, and Rand is over the moon.

When Stef gets the chance to prove his devotion, he doesn't hesitate - despite the risk to his health - and Rand takes the opportunity to show everyone that sometimes life's best surprises come after the sunset.

Love this series

This is a go to series when I need to listen to a story that is enjoyable and well written with interesting characters. Mary Calmes is a go to and automatic buy for me. This is one of my favorite series from her. Highly recommend.

Absolutely Wonderful

Book 2 complements and concludes a beautiful love story that is believable and victorious!! Absolutely Spectacular Read!! I listen to both books over and over again.

Worth the wait

If you could sum up After the Sunset in three words, what would they be?

Sean makes the audio books come alive

Who was your favorite character and why?

Love Stefan and Rand!

Have you listened to any of Sean Crisden’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I love all his narrations. He can make a bad book great!

love story, great narrator

Marie, is one of my favorite authors, and once again she has gave us a sensational story. with a great storyline and excellent characters. I highly recommend this series.

Mary Calmes and Sean Crisden are a great team!

Any additional comments?

Now that Stefan and Rand are together we get to see just how they manage to make things work between the city-boy Stefan and the recently-gay-rancher Rand.

It’s a great look at a couple after the “happy ending”. With Rand and Stefan there is so much keeping them apart that you have to wonder how they made it happen.

Well, it turns out it wasn’t that easy. Stefan is still keeping himself distant and not fully committed to Rand and Rand senses this.

When something comes up taking Rand out of town, Stefan is left to handle some important ranch details and WOW does he screw up! He ends up in a fight, riding a bronc, showing up on YouTube, and scaring Rand half to death.

Meanwhile, Stef is also finding out some “truths” about Rand’s history that just might shake up the entire family.

Interestingly, Rand isn’t in this story very much and though it’s all about him and his family, Stefan plays the most important role throughout.

I would call this book perfect if only there were more of Rand and Stefan together. In my mind there was too much time with them apart to call this absolutely perfect.

If you enjoyed Timing you will HAVE to read/listen to this as it absolutely cements the love Rand and Stefan share and gives you a much needed glimpse at their future.

Audio

Sean Crisden narrates this and Timing. He does an absolutely amazing job with Rand’s growly Texas drawl. I adore Sean’s take on the Alpha Male and like I said, Rand is oh so Alpha. I’m not sure if it was supposed to be this way or not, but Sean continually pronounces Stefan’s name as Stef-awn, where I always thought it was Stef-en. In either case, he’s consistent, and I ended up finding it endearing, whether it’s right or not! The sex scenes are scorching and he does a great job differentiating all the other voices as well. I particularly loved the Foreman’s voice – very, very sexy.
The listening definitely adds to the overall enjoyment of this story.

4.5 of 5 stars

About time!!!

Another great follow up story from a fantastic author..
And another great narration from Sean
Can't wait for more fantastic stories

Steph and Rand = Happiness.

I see that there are quite a few who did not enjoy this book but I have to say that I did quite a bit. It has the same tone and flow as Timing. There is very little angst. Steph and Rand are very much in love and there are no doubts about that and there are no petty jealousies thrown in so that the MC's can 'prove' their love. There is just lots of family drama with the Halloway's and Steph is in the middle of all of it as usual. I do have to say that I did miss Charlotte a lot. Steph talks to her on the phone but that is about it for her.

I love this book

I’ve got to admit I’ve listened to all 3 books in the series. I’ve listened to this one the most. I ain’t gone lie. I’m patiently waiting for a 4th book on the series

Finally! :-)

I have been waiting impatiently for this book to come out in audio format since Timing was recorded, and it's finally here!
Some of the best lines Mary Calmes' has ever written is in this book. And Sean Crisden is a great narrator. It can be heard as a stand alone story, but it's so much better as a followup to Timing.
Love this book!!

waiting for the last book!

Individual stories stand alone but are even better as a series. These are well read and the story pulls you in.
