Summary: Spellbinding!! Unforgetable!! Howard at her best!!
Review: Ever since she was a girl, Faith Devlin had worshiped stunning, sophisticated Gray Rouillard. They could not be more different. Gray's father practically owns the small town of Prescott, and in her young girl's dreams, Gray is a knight in shining armor. That hero's image is shattered in one shattering night that is forever to change the lives of both Gray and Faith. He was all things good, bright and wonderful - until the night he throws Faith and her dirt-poor family out into the streets. Gray's father, a notorious womanizer has finally gone over the edge and left his family, disappearing into the night with his lover - none other than Faith's mother. When Gray discovers this, he takes out his uncontrollable rage upon Faith's and the rest of her family, evicting them from Rouillard land in the middle of the night.It was a memory that was to form the rest of Faith's life. Now she lives for only one reason, to return to Prescott and finally solved what happened to Gray's father and her mother. No longer the small town girl from a family of white trash, Faith has worked very hard to make something of herself. And the time has finally come for Faith to go home. Faith did not expect Prescott to welcome her back with open arms, and she is not disappointed. Faith is the living image of her mother and in a small town people only remember all too well her mother destroyed the Rouillard marriage. But she is mildly surprised to the lengths people will go to please the now powerful Gray. She is asked to leave a motel, the police harrass her, and the grocery store owner refused to even sell her groceries. However, this Faith is not the little trusting girl that could not defend herself and her family, and nothing and no one, not even the sexy Gray Rouillard, will stop her from finding out what really happened that night their parents vanished. Only she was not prepared for Gray himself. Nor the fact that, though Gray hates her family and wants her gone from the town, Gray is making it clear her wants Faith, and he will break any rules to achieve his aim. Howver,there is someone else in town very frightened by Faith's return. When someone starts threatening Faith, Gray finds himself wanting to protect her, pulling him into questioning just what did happened that night. Vivid,and gripping characters, a powerful setting, and an intriguing mystery. Howard weaves a spell like none other. WISE Writers and Readers Book of the Month for July 2000

Summary: Not much Suspense Here!
Review: I bought this book based on the reviews and the first two pages I read in the bookstore. I had Mr.Perfect in my other hand. I wish I would have gotten it instead.But I had to see for myself what all the praise was all about.I did finish this book quickly, but I was not that impressed.The book begins well but Faith is not the kind of woman I hoped she'd turn out to be.Grey is an abusive man even in the sexual content of this book.What women would seriously live her life out this way? Hopefuly very very few.My three stars are for the first portion of the book, before Faith grows up.

Summary: IT DOESN'T GET ANY HOTTER OR BETTER THAN THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Faith and Gray, what a couple!! I have probably read this book at least five times and never get tired of it, it sizzles with sexual tension, and delivers with a love scene that keeps you breathless!! This book provokes feelings like no other romance book I have ever read. I wanted to cry at times, laugh at the humor of Faith and Gray, and fan myself at the love scenes. Like I said it doesn't get any better than this! Hold on girls for a wild ride!! Gray delivers like no other man in any other romance novel!!!

Summary: Linda Howard is the best
Review: This is one of my favorite books of Linda's ever (next to Mr. Perfect). The story starts off when Faith Devlin is still a child who grew up poor and in outcast child in Prescoot, Louisiana. She has always had a crush Gray Rouillard who is apart of the town's rich family. Gray is several years older than Faith. Things get bad when Gray accusses Faith's mother disapperaing with his father. He calls Faith and her family horrible names then throws her family out of town. Several years later Faith is back. The first moment they lay eyes on each other after all those years desire flashes through them both and they both try to fight it. Gray doesn't like the way Faith is making him feel. He decides he wants her out of town far away from him, so he plans to ruin her. There is one sceen in this book that you will rememeber forever and it will have you laughing and smiling for days.

Summary: Steamy, Entertaining Book
Review: "After the Night" is my first Linda Howard novel. I had heard from friends that Ms. Howard writes some of the most smoltering love scenes in the business, so I decided to see for myself. I'm happy to say that I wasn't let down. The book is not just senual, but also very entertaining. It's an interesting book with a strong storyline. The story takes place in the small Southern town of Prescott, Louisiana and revolves around the poor, "white trash" Devlins and the rich Rouillard's. Faith Devlin, daughter of the town drunk and town "sleep around", has had a yearning for Gray Rouillard for as long as she could remember. But Gray is older than Faith and seems to show no interest in her. On top of that, everyone in town is aware of the fact that Faith's mother, Renee, has been having an affair with Gray's father, Guy. One night Renee and Gray run off, never to be seen again. In retaliation, Gray throws Faith and her family out of town, calling them white trash and telling them to never return to Prescott again. Twelve years later, Faith Devlin Hardy returns to Prescott, a widow and in search of answers to what happened the night her mother disappeared with Guy Roulliard. She's now a successful business woman determined to show everyone that she's not trash and that she's a respectable person. Gray, hearing of her return, makes her stay in Prescott as hard as he can, throwing his money and weight around to where she can't even shop for groceries in town. But one look at Faith and he starts having dreams and feelings for her that he doesn't want. How can he fall in love with Faith and have a relationship with her if his only purpose is to destroy her? I read this book in one night, refusing to put it down for even a second. I totally recommend this book to any romance or intrigue fan. I was pleasantly surprised by Ms. Howard's writing and look forward to reading more of her novels. And yes, she DOES write some of the steamiest love scenes in the business!

Review: I NEVER WON'T THIS BOOK TO END I LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH I WOULD LIKE IT TO BE MADE INTO A MOVIE
Rating: 
Summary: I like it like that.
Review: I agree with almost every bad review this book has received. After the night is tawdry and silly and doesn't really pass for a good romance or a good mystery. What it does pass for is fun. I stayed up late into the night reading it and I laughed at the silly parts, cried at the touching parts that I could relate to, and was shocked at the shocking parts. And I liked the love scenes. That's why I bought this book. I had read an excerpt of the main love scene somewhere on the net. It whetted my appetite. So I guess I am just like a Devlin. I like trashy things. Sure the hero was annoying. Sure the Heroine was simple. Sure the mystery was non existent. It was good ol' fashioned fun I was after and that's what it delivered. Yes the ending was rushed but to tell the truth there was really nothing else left to say. So why not end it? Just like Faith, by that point I was spent anyway. As for Gray, he was a jerk. Just like a Devlin jerks must be my weakness. My only real complaint is that the story could have had a little more depth. Show more of the other characters. Don't just brush past them. Maybe that is what the bad reviews are all about. They just wanted a little more.
