After starts with a good high school girl named Tessa who is heading off to college. She’s leaving behind her high school boyfriend and moving into the dorms. It’s not long that she’s there before she meets Hardin. A cocky British boy with tattoos who is as bad as he is gorgeous. The attraction is real, but the loyalty to her boyfriend back home is still there. There is also the problem that Hardin is a complete jerk. He is so hot and cold with her which makes her like him even more. Can she stay loyal to her boyfriend or is the attraction to Hardin more than just an attraction?
Another good book in the series is Before. This book takes place before the actions of the first book and is told from Hardin’s perspective. The book explores his life before he met Tessa and some of the things that happened to make him the way that he is. It also features parts that take place after After and sets to give new insights on the story.
