Long After by Cheryl McIntyre
(Sometimes Never #3)
Book Synposis: For Annie Phillips, there is a right way to do things and
everything has a place. College and her flawless GPA are top priority, as is
planning her perfect future. Anything less than perfection is unacceptable. So
when she meets Loden Guiles, she believes she has finally found her perfect
happily-ever-after.
Chase Malloy is funny, loyal, and an all-around nice guy.
He’s also sloppy, tattooed, and undirected. All Chase wants to do is survive
college, hang out with friends, and make music. Knowing his best friend’s
step-sister since they were fourteen, Annie and he have always had a love-hate
relationship. The last thing Chase expects is to fall for Annie, but he knows
he’ll never live up to her idea of the perfect man.
On the outside, Annie and Loden’s relationship appears
picture perfect. But behind closed doors, Annie quickly realizes Loden isn’t
the man he pretends to be. Every time her not so well laid plans crumble, and
Loden proves to be not so Mr. Right, Chase is there to pick her up and brush
her off. Will she realize the perfection she’s been searching for has been in
front of her all this time?
*Long After is a companion novel to Sometimes Never and
Before Now. Many of the same characters appear in Chase and Annie's story.
However, it can be read as a stand-alone book.
**This is a new adult novel. Due to harsh language, sexual
situations, and violence, this book is recommended for 17+.

My review: 5 stars!!!
Okay. Let me start by saying, this book is the third book in a series. Each book in the series is about a "couple." The first one was about Hope and Mason, the next book was a novella about Hope and Mason, the second book was about Park and Lucy. Now this third book is about Annie and Chase. You first learn about Annie and Chase in the first book.
Annie is Hope's foster parents daughter. It's a really weird situation, as is all marriages these days!!
Anyways, you learn in the first book that Annie is not very nice. Hope still stands up for her and defends her (which is why Mason notices Hope and falls in love). Even though Annie is not nice to Hope, or really anyone for that matter.
Chase is friends with Hope and Park. (I believe he was part of the band, but I can't remember exactly). Annie and Chase fight a lot. Everyone hates being around them because they are always fighting with each other and it drives everyone crazy.
Skip forward a couple of years and Annie and Chase are now in college. They are actually friends now. They still fight, but that's just what friends do. Annie is a hot mess. She has this perfect life planned out and she has a check-list for life. The man she dates has to have certain qualities before she can consider dating him. Well, then she meets Loden. He checks all her boxes. She falls for him pretty quickly. He's perfect after all . . . until one day he's not. He starts getting super abusive, possessive and controlling.
Chase is Annie's best friend. He watches as she changes while dating Loden. He doesn't like Loden for several reasons. Chase is there for Annie every step of the way. Every time Loden does something to Annie, Chase is there to pick her up and put the pieces back together. Long story short . . . Chase ends up finding Annie on the floor with Loden's hands around her neck. He is trying to kill her. She left him and Loden doesn't get left. Chase defends her and just about kills Loden. He was there for Annie, he saved her life, literally.
What happens next . . . go get the book and read all about it!!
Happy reading!!
