About this book
They say it is better to deal with the devil you know, but for Ivy, the real torment is being married to an angel who has forgotten she exists. After spending twenty agonizing years trapped in the body of an unwilling host, Ivy is finally free and fueled by a single, desperate mission: to reclaim her wife, Emma. But the reunion is far from the fairy tale she imagined.
This gripping installment in the supernatural romance series masterfully blends high-stakes celestial drama with the tender ache of a second-chance romance. As Ivy tracks Emma to a small, unsuspecting town, she faces a brutal reality. Emma is alive, but she has no memory of their past, and she is currently surrounded by a legion of admirers. Navigating this new life requires more than just celestial power; it demands that Ivy fight to win back a heart that has already moved on.
Readers are calling this paranormal gem a must-read, praising the addictive narrative structure and the scorching, high-tension chemistry that defines their journey. If you are looking for an intense, character-driven story where guardian angels battle for love against all odds, this is the heartbreak and triumph you have been waiting for.

Loved this book. Yes, it started a little slow for me, but once it hit? I was feral. Could not put it down. The spice was *chef’s kiss* and that one scene? Whew. Dante, that imagination of yours is creative (wink wink). Also, if there’s another book in this series and a certain chew toy is involved… I swear, if anything happens to them, I will riot. That character was everything, and the absolute silliness they brought to the story made it even better. )

This book was just as good, if not better, than the original one! All Ivy desires on this earth is Emma, and Emma has completely forgotten her existence. I was captivated by this story as quickly as I could turn on my Kindle. Dante, you did an excellent job, and now, please give us a third book, if possible! )

This is a raw, high-stakes urban fantasy romance that serves as the second installment in the After the Breaking series. Following the events of the first book, this sequel shifts the focus to a story of lost time, forgotten vows, and the desperate search for a second chance in a world that has already ended. The story centers on Ivy, a demon who has spent twenty grueling years trapped inside an unwilling human host, forced into silence while the world collapsed around her. Her only motivation...

This book grabbed me right away and never let go. I didn’t think I would love it as much as I did the first in the series, but it ended up being incredible! I will say that you should definitely read the first book before diving into this one because it will be much easier to understand with the full backstory. Also, it’s just amazing. The world-building is one of my favorites here, but the characters are on another level. A demon desperately searching for her angel wife after twenty years...
