Until Joe by C.P. Smith

I could go on and on (and on and on) about my total adoration for this story, but really, this is all you need to know:

Joe. (that's it; 'nuf said. simply Joe says EVERYTHING).
Sweet and sassy and adorable and wise Bernice (she melts me).
Devin (oh boy, I think I fell more in love with the man).
The Wallflowers (they make my heart smile huge).

Grab this story NOW and settle in for a hea that'll pull at your heart-strings, that'll fill you up with goodness, that'll make you bite your nails and growl, that'll make your breath catch, and that'll make you want to immediately start a reread once "The End" is reached.

CP Smith does an amazing job tying her Wallflowers series into ARR's Until series and breathing life into her characters and their world. You won't want to miss out on this story!

Until Twyla by Ella Fox

Swoony cute

Again, I've found another Happily Ever Alpha/Until world book that gives me some of my favorite things in a swoony sweet story. Loved how Twyla and Jensen met, connected, and stuck together.

If you like a damsel in distress story, but one who isn't totally helpless and a hot cop who knows how to take charge, talk dirty, and love his girl, you don't want to miss this story.

Until Brandon: Happily Ever Alpha World by Natasha Madison

Cute story to get some insta-love and swoony protection vibes from. I enjoyed getting to see Brandon get his hea girl and his own family. Aurora and her sister Cassie needed a family and a safe spot - which Brandon and all the Maysons could provide in spades!

Until Valerie by Jessica Marin

Until Valerie takes you off on a crazy awesome adventure filled with intense connections, twisted moments, and steamy heat.

I adored Valerie's mix of sweet and shy confidence. She came across as both strong but yet vulnerable - which is something I stinkin' love in my heroines.

Rowan has such quiet confidence that bloomed into intense protectiveness, melting my heart. He figured out she was his quickly and didn't fight it - just set about doing whatever it took to make her his and take care of her the way she needed.

I couldn't stop reading once I started -- Rowan and Valerie kept me mesmerized to the pages and I had to see them through to their hea. This is another amazing addition to the Happily Ever Alpha World and I'm utterly delighted I got to experience it.

Until Tennessee by Sarah ORourke

I adored this spin on several of my favorite tropes. Throw in a devoted and uber-protective mother, charmingly cute kids, a man who recognizes what he found and works to protect and keep them safe, little bit of drama and a whole lot of feels and you got a winner!

I loved the grit Clarity had in surviving her struggles and doing whatever it takes to take care of her babies. I loved how even though Marek felt the boom right away, he had the patience to see things through to the end and get his reward.

This is a fun, easy read that I didn't want to put down once I started.

Until the Tequila: A Killers Crossover Novella by Brynne Asher

.... that moment when you open a book to start reading and you're immediately falling head over heals into the story? Yeah, Evan and Mary's hea story hooked me hard, dragged me in and kept me enthralled from word one to the end.

While Mary and I don't share similar histories, I still totally connected with her just on her strength, stubbornness, and resilience. Her heart and inner beauty shown brightly no matter how much she felt tarnished at times. Evan (and everyone around Mary) saw that, and not only was drawn to that, but wanted to protect that.

Evan never gave up in his pursuit of Mary - she was going to be a part of his life, and he was going to make sure she was safely there, preferably wrapped in his arms. I adored his confidence, his determination, his respectfulness, and his heart - plus he had a few surprises up his sleeve that just really did it for me. haha!

I couldn't have asked for a better story for Evan and Mary, nor a better addition to the Killers series (which at the moment ranks as my top fav series by Brynne Asher), nor a more delightful addition to the Happily Ever After/Until world.

"...and Mary, thanks for a fun night. I thought I wanted you before, but now? I can't wait to make you mine. Be prepared."

Y'all.... be prepared for a story that'll not only entertain, but make you feel. I was giggling and heating up, and even had moments where the tears were streaming down. I'm already planning on when I can reread Vines and the rest of the Killers books through this one (including Until July from ARR as well) because I just don't want to say goodbye yet.

Until Mallory: A Happily Ever Alpha Novella by Ella Fox

So sweet

Tooth-achingly sweet and innocent girl meets up with a tough cop. Cute little novella to spend an hour or so with.

This moment, right before their first kiss - so so swoony: I want to take care of you, honey. I always have. This is a privilege for me-not some burden I don't want to take on.

Kinda reminds me of an Alexa Riley book with the sweet virgin being the obsession of an older man - with almost daddy-kink feels because she was SO innocent (but it still worked for me).

Until Mayhem by Layla Frost

Ophelia and Judge's (I stinkin' love their names) story gave me the feel-goods of a good old fashioned pirate bodice ripper - our hero who skirts the edge of good vs evil with his own code of honor saw his damsel (who, btw, wasn't truly in distress... well, not *all* the time), captured her, and claimed her as his, through whatever means necessary! And Ophelia was no fainting flower! They were the perfect challenge and compliment to the other.

With the exception of us not sharing a violent streak, I really connected to Ophelia - loved her mix of sweet and spicy, strength and femininity. She's strong enough to stick up for herself, but at the same time, smart enough to know how to choose her battles and accept help when it's needed.

Judge with his power, confidence, attitude, honor, and control had me deeply appreciating and admiring (read: almost coveting) his bad-man self (because he was definitely not a bad-boy in any way of thinking). I loved how he was observant of Ophelia and had a mind to her, protecting her, but at the same time, giving her everything she needed.

I loved how this was such a slow tension-filled build up for them but at the same time, they knew there was something huge (that BOOM) between them from the start. Combine that with some genuine laughter filled moments, a touch of a suspense plot line, great cameos from the Maysons and Nox, Until Mayhem quickly became one of my favorite LF stories that I look forward to revisiting again. Definitely worth the late nights and the stolen moments to experience!

Scary Hot by K.D. Robichaux

Oh, boy!! Scary Hot delivered all the feel goods with an attention-grabbing story line filled with some yummy spicy moments, bunches of hot swoony moments, and several laugh-out-loud moments. I didn't stop once I got started!! This little novella sure packed in a bunch of goodness!

I simply adored how Kayan was such a delightful mix of shy/sweet and strong/sassy - but in a charming way, not in a ott annoying way. She was so much fun!

And Z!? Omgoodness that man....he stole my heart. I so desperately wanted to be Kayan and be held and protected and cared for each time I needed it and have him at my back when I was ready to stand strong myself - just like he gave to her. Z learned what she needed and filled her life with goodness. Swoony!!

I haven't read Until July yet, where Z and Kayan are the best friends of July and Wes, but reading this story makes me want to go dive into Until July to get where they were first introduced, and then reread Scary Hot just to fully experience all their goodness.

This is a wonderful addition to the Happily Ever Alpha/Until series world and I'm so glad I got to experince Z and Kayan's story.

Until Avery by Brynne Asher

Hmmmmm mmmmm good!! The more of Brynne Asher stories I read, the more I fall in love with her writing style and worlds and characters. Until Avery is no exception.

From beginning to end, I just flat out swooned and enjoyed this story. Avery is the exception to alot of 20yr old characters - she's smart and mature to go with her sweet and fun. And her "bad girl" moments just made me giggle. Link was tough, swoony, sweet, alpha bossy, and showed just how much Avery was his everything. Loved how sweet and charming their hea was and I adored watching their BOOM come over them.

Until Leo by Rochelle Paige

*swoony happy sigh*

I loved finding out that Nico's partner Leo was gonna get his own story, and wow! Did this make my heart happy!

I loved how Leo found his boom and how they just worked out so well together. Carrie was just adorable and smart and so sweet. Leo was hot and the perfect kind of alpha caveman hero!

I couldn't stop smiling through the whole story -- just a fun, sweet escape!

Until Nox: Happily Ever Alpha World by Layla Frost

I fell absolutely head-over-heals in love with this story!!

Low on drama/angst and overflowing with heart, Until Nox gave me many of the things I desire most in a story: a hero who's a modern day outlaw-ish good guy (maybe? maybe not? oh, that bad boy thin line he rides!), a heroine who's your every-day kinda girl, strong, but yet soft and sweet, a insta-love story that feels real, and a couple who's basically together from the get-go and can (gasp!) communicate (haha!).

Killian Nox won me over with his attitude, his alpha-confidence, and his respect/consideration of Gus. How he took care of her and respected her just melted me! I'd say more, but, you gotta experience Nox for yourself! *swoon!*

Gus was so stinkin' awesome -- I love her confidence, her determination, her loyalty, her sweetness, her sass, her maturity, and her openness. She made me fall even harder for the story.

Together, they were perfect!

I loved how this tied into the Masons in Tennesse (ARR's Until characters) and we got to see some sweet, beautiful moments with them.

This is definitely not a story to miss out on!! Totally gave my heart all the feel-goods and made it to my favorites shelf. I can't wait to revisit this story!!

Until Sunrise by Sarah O'Rourke

What a fun story!!! And finally! One with a heroine named Michelle!! Haha!!

Luka was amazing! From chasing away the blind date, to his OTT alpha claiming of Michelle, he made me swoon.

I was empathetic to Michelle's struggle with accepting Luka's attention. Loved that once she finally chose to have faith and take a chance on them, she was all in.

I really enjoyed this story and experiencing Michelle and Luka's BOOM! Definitely a fun way to spend some reading hours.

Until More by S. Van Horne

Happily Ever Alpha Kindle World

This was a fun, sweet story that I really enjoyed.

I appreciated seeing the care and love poured into Maddison, Conti's sister, by everyone surrounding her -- what a treasure she was!

I loved seeing Conti's quick forgiveness and determination to fix the past with Crystal and claim the happy future they both desire and deserve.

I loved seeing Crystal be brave and take a chance at having a family of her own.

Until Susan by CP Smith

part of the Kindle World: Happily Ever Alpha

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

EEK! I got the BOOM!

Yeah, so, up until a couple of weeks ago, I hadn't read any of ARR's Until books, so I really had no clue what the big deal was about the BOOM. Then when I heard that one of my top favorite authors would be writing in a Kindle World for ARR, I picked up a book and got introduced to the Maysons and to the BOOM. You don't have to have read any of ARR's books if you were in the same boat as me, though. The way this book was written, I learned all I needed to know, although at least knowing a bit of Until November's story line did enhance the scene a bit more.

Anyways! I freakin' LOVED James and Susan's story! CP Smith brought her characters to life in a way only she can and made me fall head over heals for both James and Susan. I wanted to be Susan so I could have all of James' attention directly focused on me. And James is the kind of man I ADORE as a book boyfriend - bossy, strong, confident, devoted (aka, alpha!) and the icing on the cake: got a badge and a gun! The connection between the two of them sparked off the page and made my heart stutter and melt over and over again. I felt everything they did, from the anticipation, the bracing, the joy (oh, was I laughing alot in this!), the fear. It all drew me into their world so that I was stuck there and really wanted to sweetly request (read: demand) for more because I didn't want to hurt from having to close the book on the last page. That's how you know you've discovered an amazing story.

When they're done well, I love prologues and epilogues -- and the way they were done here? PRICELESS! haha! Absolutely stinkin' loved it!
