First I found him to be a bit arrogant and well, an asshole but there were so many layers to him. She did want love in her life but was still not ready for it after Jax. She was a modern woman, focused on her career, family oriented. She is left to pick up the pieces of her dreams and move on. She thought her world was about to change but Jax's abrupt departure from her life leaves her heart broken. Two years ago Gia fell in love with Jackson Rutledge. The entire book moves from her point of view. I ended up really enjoying Afterburn and Aftershock. I can definitely see the charm in Sylvia Day's writing.

I still have to read her Bared to You series but when I had an opportunity to read Afterburn and Aftershock I couldn't let it pass by.

I have been wanting to read a Sylvia Day book to know what all the hype was about. In the cutthroat business world, one adage rules all: keep your enemies close and your ex-lovers closer. The inner circle of glamour, sex, and privilege was Jax's playground-but this time, I knew the rules of the game. Unlike the last time we'd drifted into each other's lives, I knew exactly what I was dealing with. I wasn't the girl he once knew, but he hadn't changed. Under the tutelage of Lei Yeung, one of the sharpest businesswomen in New York, I had picked up a thing or two since Jax walked away. Walking into a deal I'd worked hard to close. In a way I did both when I took Jackson Rutledge as a lover.
