Reviewed by Kassa at Reviews by Jessewave. 4.5 out of 5. After the Storm is totally unexpected and equally delightful. For those that didn’t read this offering first in the anthology, you’ll definitely want to get it now. The great characters, descriptive writing, clever ending, and above all really wonderful ambiance create an unforgettable story with a great twist. This story just solidifies Munder on my must-read book list.

Reviewed by Joyfully Reviewed (anthology version)Full Review here. - When I finished reading “After the Storm”, I sat back from my computer in awe. “After the Storm” is a fantastic story within a ghost story. This is not a romance, at least not by my definition but it is very pleasing, entertaining and heart-wrenchingly sad, and one I know I will be re-reading again and again.

I am compelled to add these two reviews off the Dreamspinner Website as they were posted by actual readers:

I was completely enchanted by this story. There is suffering and sadness written with a great deal of painful honesty one can‘t escape, but the entire tale is blanketed in the enduring power of timeless love that makes it an ever so delicious hurt/comfort read that I found absolutely irresistible. It helps that we understand and like Vincent very much. It‘s genius that Ms. Munder brings “to life”, in such a colorful and memorable way, a man and a love long gone. For a time, I was transported via the author’s skillful storytelling into Vincent’s life, in a lighthouse steeped in secrets and history. This is a bittersweet read. You don’t necessarily get the romantic story that you want for Vincent and you probably won’t get the ending you long to read, but you get the both the story and the ending that’s fitting , beautiful, and stays with you long after you read the words, “the end”. Thank you, Ms. Munder, may we have another?

5 very tearful stars!! This story shows the true & strong beauty of a pure spirit, and how courage can be shown in many forms. Love, forgiveness, and ultimate appreciation of a different type of beauty makes this a favorite of mine :) It was a sweet, yet raw, romantic story!!
