After The Vows: A Decker Family Novel (Covert Affairs Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 229 ratings

From USA Today bestselling author Claudia Burgoa comes a new emotional, suspenseful, best friend’s little sister romance.

His mission is to save the world
But can he keep his promise?


I’m still unsure how I got here.
There was Vegas.
Alcohol involved.
And rumor has it, Elvis was our witness.
All that happened ten years ago.

Ten.

Tall, dark, and delicious, Seth Bradley is some sort of Double-O-Seven.
—and my childhood crush.
One moment I’m Rachel Green discovering that she’s married to Ross Geller.
Next, I have to run for my life.
This isn’t how I imagined my happily ever after.

Right now, I’m just hoping to get out of this one alive.

After the Vows is the first book of the Covert Affairs duet. A page-turner that will leave you gasping with a delicious cliffhanger.

<3 Seth and Teddy together!
There are very few authors that I’ll pick up a book and start reading without reading the synopses first but Claudia Burgoa is one of them so I was thrilled when I realized we finally have Seth Bradley and Teddy St. James’ Story. These two have been at each other's throats for a while and we finally find out why that is and so much more....believe me when I say it's one you won't want to miss! Teddy and Seth have a love/hate relationship, well that's not exactly true you see they really do care about one another things just stand in their way but their chemistry isn't a problem at all because it is off the charts HOT! These two can set the sheets on fire by just standing near the bed. Things aren't looking good for them at the moment and it's up to Seth to protect Teddy and make sure that they both get out of this situation alive...what situation you ask? Well it seems that someone wants Teddy dead but who could want that? And does it have anything to do with a mission that Seth was on eight years ago where Teddy's brother Archer was believed to have been killed? Only time will tell because we were left with a whopper of a cliffhanger, thankfully LOVE AFTER US releases on 2/13 so we don't have long to wait. If you enjoy STEAMY Romantic Suspense, Best Friends Little Sister Romances, Forced Proximity Romances, Grumpy/Sunshine Romances, or Secret Agent Romances I would recommend this book to you. Happy Reading!!!

    I love the Decker's so any times there's a book about one of them, I'm going to all over it. When a book is about a particular Decker, you know you get a great story about them but you also get to catch up on what the rest of the Decker's plus who ever shows up from Claudia's other series that gets pulled into the story.

    This duet is about Seth Bradley, the son of Mason and Ainsley Decker-Bradley. In all the books I've read, we haven't really gotten to know much about Seth so this is the chance to learn more about this Decker.

    Seth feels like he can never be good enough for his parents and he's fighting with a ghost (James) that he can measure up to. Seth also feels guilty about the death of his best friend, Archer St. James. There's so many things that Seth worries about or feels bad about and it's hard to wonder why since the Decker's are a close family and I would think they would never make anyone feel less than.

    Teddy St. James is Archer's sister who doesn't want to deal with Seth but that never happens. A mutual friend contacts Seth to help with a situation that Teddy is also working on. We find out that Teddy and Seth had a "thing" happening on and off but Teddy's tired of it and wants to not deal with Seth.

    These 2 broken individuals want each other but Seth feels like he's not worthy of Teddy. When word gets out on social media about Seth and Teddy, all heck breaks lose. Seth is targeted and so is his family, along with Teddy and her family. To figure out who's after Seth, especially when someone in the Decker family goes missing, the plan is to lured the people out so they can deal with the situation. This plan to lure the bad guys out involves Seth and Teddy taking a very long road trip where they have the privacy to discuss what each of them wants. But when they get ambushed and Seth ends up hurt and Teddy disappears, Seth is determine to find Teddy!

    I can't wait for book 2 to come out. It is driving me crazy trying to figure out what's going on and I have some interesting theories that probably doesn't make sense. Besides the personal relationship between Seth and Teddy, the Decker family and Seth being "hunted", the action stuff is quite cool!

    After the Vows will keep you on your toes. This is a fantastic read filled with a little of every family Claudia has written about. You are going to love Teddy and Seth. They have this hate relationship that makes their chemistry off the charts. I love the banter. I love all the little surprises along the way. This one will keep you glued to the paged as Teddy and Seth work together to get Piper back. This cliffy will have you wanting more now. I cannot wait for more Covert Affairs to come and see what happens with everyone and who is really behind it all.

    What the actual heck, CYB?!! I’m not sure my heart can take another first half of a duet like this, and I need the rest of the story. Now! (And the next story, too, which is shaping up to be even more WTH, but we'll get into that another time.)

    Okay, now that I’ve taken a breath, we have more excitement with The Organization and the first part of the romance between Seth Bradley (Ainsley and Mason's son) and Teddy St. James. Theirs is more of a hate-hate relationship. They each drive the other crazy, yet they can’t seem to keep their distance. Distance is probably a good idea, since each is a little broken and needs to get their head on straight before trying to get real with each other.

    Then things really get out of hand. Seth and Teddy find out that their fake wedding in Vegas ten years ago is actually real, and now it looks like someone wants Teddy dead. Talk about a confusing time, running for your life with the person who scrambles your brain and gives you butterflies all at once.

    Holy wow, this one is…well, I’m speechless. This crafty wordsmith has really upped the tensıon, drama and suspense, and I need to know how it turns out more than I need my next breath. If you’re even the slightest romantic suspense fan, this one is a no-brainer. This heart-pouñding, grıpping, edge-of your-seat romance will be one of your most epic reading escapes ever, so don’t miss it!

    I will read the next book but this book just moves on from one scene to the next without any smooth transition. Also seems to leave conversations half way through! Frustrating but I am hooked to see who is helping them, I have my suspicions!

    Feel I’m being repetitious but I love this author but I’m not a fan of these duet reads. Teddy I loved in pr3vious books but felt in her own story she’s been given a personality change and not for the better. Seth I adored and still liked his character. Book one is the background to this couple and I do feel both books could be condensed into one. Was just tedious at times.
