I was rereading The Hurricane so that i knew that its has a second book. SECOND Book!!! Where have i been?? The Hurricane was one of my favorite MMA romance, beside Real by Katy Evans. So of course i had to read this right away. And boy, did i feel stupid for just found this book. 
 The Aftermath is written using O'Connell voice. It's more intense, full of angst but at the same time, funnier. I really fell in love with the boys in Driscoll's gym. I really enjoying their interaction and how they fool around with each other. Can't help chuckling or even laughing out loud. THe boys're funny, but also loyal, and very compassionate. I cant help but envying Emily aka Sunshine. 
 At the same time, i have so much respect for Sunshine. For a tiny and fragile girl she's sure really strong, and brave. She's a fighter indeed, just not in the ring like O'Connell. 
 Another part that i like is, how healthy their relationship really is. Sure, they cant stay away for each other for too long, quite dependable and possessive, but, they never shy away from the right thing, and always put each other first. 
 Except Danny, another older character that i adore is Father Patrick. He's so refreshing, and wise, and a bit silly. Just a perfect voice of reason for O'Connell. 
 I wish the epilogue was longer. Cant wait to read Kieran's book now. And i hope Tommy will have his own book as well.
