Synopsis
Two years after riding off into the sunset with ranch owner Rand Holloway, Stefan Joss has made a tentative peace with his new life, teaching at a community college. But the course of true love never does run smooth. Rand wants him home on the ranch; Stef wants an exit strategy in case Rand ever decides to throw him out. Finally, after recognizing how unfair he's being, Stef makes a commitment, and Rand is over the moon.
When Stef gets the chance to prove his devotion, he doesn’t hesitate—despite the risk to his health—and Rand takes the opportunity to show everyone that sometimes life’s best surprises come after the sunset.

Review
Another
absolutely gorgeous and eye-catching cover for the re-release of After
the Sunset by Mary Calmes. And again, this is a well loved, go-to
comfort read for me that I've read more times than I can count.
Seriously, Rand Holloway and Stefan Joss are everything that is perfect
in a couple and I just love them so hard. Stef in all his sarcastic,
stubborn, trouble magnet glory and his delightfully growly and sexy and
gruff cowboy, Rand. These two take swooning to a whole different level,
no lie. After the Sunset is the sequel to Timing and once again we find
our guys happily in love, but as is typical for Mary Calmes, nothing is
ever too easy. Where would the fun in that be?
After
a call for help from his cousin, Zach, Rand finds himself about to
leave his ranch and his partner for a very long four days. This would be
bad enough in and of itself, but when a surprise phone call that fate
lets Stef answer, Stef finds himself about to leave the ranch as well,
all unbeknownst to Rand. You see, there's a rodeo that requires Rand's
ranch's, The Red Diamond, participation in order to maintain some very
valuable grazing land in south Texas. Since Rand is unavailable, it
falls on Stef, who most definitely is NOT a cowboy, to cowboy up and do
his part. So he gathers his horse and his beloved dog, Bella, a few of
the ranch hands and heads south to the rodeo. Doesn't seem too
difficult, right? Sign up, participate in a few events, showcase the
ranch, and go home. No big deal. Of course, things never go as planned
for Stef and after a fist to the jaw from one of Rand's rivals and a not
so pleasant meeting with Rayland and Glenn Holloway (Rand's uncle and
cousin) well it seems like this rodeo might just be a bit too much for
Stef. A bachelor auction, a bull, and one mean bucking bronco later, not
to mention a green with jealousy woman who'd like nothing better than
to make Rand her own, and Stef has found himself in quite the mess.
After
the Sunset is typical Mary Calmes. Lots of ridiculous situations, witty
and hilarious banter, characters that you can't help but absolutely
fall in love with, mixed with super hot sexy times with lots of swoons
and sighs to hit you right in the feels. And Rand and Stef will melt
your heart for sure. This is a story about love and family and the
things you do to protect those you love most. Sure you'll laugh, but
you'll also find yourself wiping your eyes just from the love and the
emotions. There's a reason this series has SO many people that love it.
If you've somehow missed Timing and After the Sunset, make sure you fix
that immediately. Everyone needs some Rand and Stef in their life. (Oh
and, Glenn is coming, so be ready! I know I can't wait!)
