Blossom has no idea how bad this day was going to be when she went to work that morning. Josh didn't understand why he couldn't find his way to his sister's house for her baby shower. These two have the most unlikely way of meeting, but with God in control their lives were about to change. Blossom has lost everything important to her but on the fateful day she cries out "God if you save me, I will loose weight ". My goodness Blossom has to go through some very tough times to get her to where God wants her. Josh can't believe his eyes when he sees those beautiful brown eyes. This story will encourage you to go for your dreams, knowing that no matter how far you fall you can get to the top when you trust God. A bit of a suspense, lots of emotion as well as romance in this exciting story.<br />I received a free download of this book from the publisher. This review is totally my own honest opinion.

<strong>Close call Awakening </strong><br /><br />No one likes to loose their job, much less for not being able to run stairs after the elevator breaks. In this book, Blossom Daniels is that someone (Love her name by the way). The company’s brand new policies disgusts me, but sadly it happens often in the real world. In this story Blossom seems to find many closed doors and with God’s grace they became opened. Throughout it all still successfully praises God for everything no matter the outcome. There are inspiring places in the text that I see is needed to improve on, in my own walk with God. My only disappointment is that I would’ve liked to have read a longer ending with more daily detail. It WAS fulfilling to know Josh and Blossom were meant to be in love and in business. Be Blessed!

Very disappointing. Book 1 wasn’t great but I loved the concept and the developer,met of the character. You u Dee stood and experienced Candace’s journey. Not in this one. <br /><br />This read like a novella thrown together. She cries so hard she can’t see. Co tiniest driving over a Breidenstein and foes over because she never turned on her wipers. Horrid!<br /><br />Worse of all is the lack of development for her love o Teresa. Book 1, the character was developed.<br /><br />Lastly, she has a high schools diploma, liver disease, then loses weight while working at a bakery (smart choice). Homeless, working a minimum wage jobs, falls in love with a millionaire, does a 2 year bachelors degree program and becomes his CEO. YEAH, OK. I won’t be reading book 3

I loved this second book in the After series. It starts out with hold-on-to-your-seat action, and the story unfolds from these 2 characters who meet in a crisis. I love the faith encouragement throughout--our h. starts at her rock bottom lowest and rises up in healing, determination, confidence and success--an encouragement to all who need it. I just started reading After 3. An excellent series by one of my favorite authors!

Blossom Daniels almost drowned. It was a bad day. She'd lost her job. Then, she found herself in the chilly waters of the Potomac. Josh Miller had no intention of jumping into the cold waters to save a person. Yet, that's what he did, saving a person he'd never met. Blossom wanted to live. Wanted to lose weight.<br /><br />Good read. Joy writes encouraging, action-packed books with interesting characters. This one was all of that. I enjoyed the read.

<strong>Wonderful story</strong><br /><br />Another inspiring story from Joy Ohagwu. I loved living the before, during and after for Blossom. If you like clean inspiring stories, I recommend After 2. And you do not have to read the first book in the series to enjoy this one, but if possible you should read book 1, it's awesome too!

<strong>WOW!!!</strong><br /><br />I am always amazed when I read books by Joy. Each book is profoundly written and brings christian values to life in the characters. She writes such compelling stories that I look forward to reading books written by her. There is a depth in her writing that I truly admire and enjoy. Thank you.

This one is different from Book 1. Blossom has a weight problem & tackles it in a different way than the first book. Josh has an issue in his life that he overcomes at the beginning. The relationship between Blossom & Josh is well developed. I think the story is very well written. I received an ARC. This is my voluntary opinion.
