After You
Saving his life might have ruined hers…
Annie Holt is a loner by nature and lives on the fringe of society by necessity. After a messy divorce, she’s determined to take a much-needed vacation. But her empathic ability makes the crowded airport torturous, and the interminable wait quickly becomes a living nightmare.
On hiatus from filming, famous actor Quinn Jensen is traveling to Sint Maarten for the Christmas holiday. During an ill-fated wait, he meets a courageous woman who risks her life to save others and upends his with a single freaky prediction.
As Annie lies bedbound, she and Quinn form a fast friendship. One that stirs up resentment from others as their unlikely romance builds and hidden truths are revealed. Before long, Annie becomes a sitting target. Now, Quinn races the clock to help find her would-be assassin and stop them from hurting the woman who has stolen his heart forever.

About the author
T.M. Cromer
66 books634 followersT.M. Cromer is a multi-award-winning sorceress of the written word and fearless architect of high-stakes paranormal romance. With a flair for twisty plots, slow burns, and swaggering heroes hot enough to scorch the page, she conjures stories that hook readers and refuse to let go. From her cozy PNW lair, flanked by two Hellhounds and an unholy amount of caffeine ambition, she weaves love, danger, and humor into every page. Whether it’s witches, sirens, or magical assassins, her characters never behave, and neither do her stories.
When she’s not dreaming up new ways to ruin her characters’ lives before crafting their HEA, she’s daydreaming about swimming with orcas or cackling over a particularly clever line of dialogue. Come for the magic, stay for the heartbreak, and maybe fall a little too hard for a man who only exists on the page.

Stellar!
However, Ms. Cromer I expected nothing less.
Having preorder this novel twice, with the off putting of publishing, no regrets.
Annie is amazing, and has since we met her in book one. While Sammy, her sister, is off the charts but completely addictive, Annie has a personality that draws you in. I felt every fight she battled, every high and ever low she experienced. True testament to writing that entrances a reader.
Quinn, bless his heart, honestly it took the poor man an entire novel to get his cookies together. But, I am not trivializing his trials, he absolutely had them, and they were major. His perseverance to fight, and overcome, mad him completely lovable. Yet, there were times often, I wanted to pop him in the back of his head. Tell him to wake up, stop feeling sorry for himself, and realize what he had, not what he lost.
Together, these two are comedic relief, when not at odds. Annie's sense of the ridiculous was totally captivating.
Bottom line, T. M. Cromer hasn't written a novel that I don't own, or regret buying. Her writing is truly a work of art!
(Small side note, Ms. Cromer, Trace and Stephan, their stories are begging to be written. So much characterization of these two secondary individuals. Oh and they keep popping up.... hint...)
Next please!

Another classic tale
TM Cromer delivers an accurate depiction of all the harassment a famous person goes through with the Paparazzi. Add to that some insecurity and a talent for visions and you’ve got an Rock And Rollin story of intrigue and murder.

Wow, again wow, this story grabbed me from the beginning to the very end. I guess it will stay with me for a very long time....

Well Tara, you have sent me absolutely around the ringer with this one 🤣
Quinn... I know you were in an impossible situation full of such complexities and pressure but my god man... I wanted to throttle you about 75% of the time and pounce on you the other 25% 🤦♀️
Absolute kudos to the author though for writing such a hard hitting piece that really did have me questioning how I felt about everything all the way through!
I loved seeing another side to Ty, though the brothers are cut from the same cloth, it was nice to see him as a supporting role in this and to check in with him and Lana.
Annie was just so wonderful written, sweet and kind but also flawed and real. The journey she took with her recovery felt so raw and true to me as it was very much a slow process of one step forward and two step back.
I can't wait for more from this series! I am hoping for some attention on the Holt brother!

She's done it again! T.M. Cromer has produced another member of the Holt family to keep us glued to our e-readers. Annie is at the airport with her little pup Tink waiting to board their vacation flight when she has a premonition of a plane crashing into the building where she's sitting. Actor Quinn Jensen is saved by Annie's warning but his fiancee ran back for her bag. Annie tried to save her and is seriously injured. That's just the beginning. You'll find plenty of humor, drama, sizzle, action, suspense, angst and an outstanding cast of characters in this book. After You is book 4 of The Holt Family Series, but it can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliffhanger.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book that I received from Bookfunnel. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

roller coaster
I love Annie. Quinn, while I could understand him(which means well written) drove me a little nuts. This isn’t one of the author’s best books (my favorite continues to be Finding You, followed by the Stonebrooke novels) but a solid book. There were a few moments bordering on tstl, but it was well written enough that you could clearly see the motivations. I love the Holt family, and while I know it will be a while for James’s story, I look forward to it!

After You what a book..
Wow, lots of twists and turns that you expect to come from this lovely Author T.M.Cromer...
Quinn and Annie's story, though it was long, didn't make you feel it was a long book.
It had all the things you needed to know...
The why's and what's and the story just flowed...
Fantastic story well worth reading..

I love the Holy Family. Annie's ability to have premonitions and still remain positive even when she sees the worst happening is refreshing to say the least. Also finding her soulmate along the way whose ups and downs mirror that of real life couples fighting to stay together. I can't wait for the next book to come out!

Amazing read
Once again Tara didn't disappoint... From the beginning of the book I was pulled in and had difficulty putting it down. So looking forward to the next in the series!

Wonderful as usual
T.M. has done it again. I’ve enjoyed all of her series and plan to keep reading anything and everything she writes. Because she writes wonderful “Feel good” stories!

Loved this
This is one of those stories where you are so strongly attached to the main characters that you hurt for them, get angry for them and cry with them. Was great to revisit past characters. Perfect ending.

I like the connections of the series.but this one was hard to get through with the hot and cold back and forth of Quinn.

Another great book in the Holt series! I really enjoyed it! If you haven’t started this series, what are you waiting for? My problem I have with Tara’s books is I read them way too fast! I never have an issue getting into the stories! Keep them coming please!! 💜
