Review-

I have read and enjoyed the entire Until series by Aurora Rose Reynolds so I was curious to pick up Until July and see what happens next after the time leap. Until July was by no means a bad read but it wasn't mind blowing either. I liked July and Wes but I did have a few minor issues with them. Until July was an average read.

The book goes mostly from July's point of view but a few chapters are thrown in from Wes' point of view as well. July Mayson feels the connection from the first time she meets Wes.Wes is nothing like anyone she's ever met before and she knows he's hiding something. I found July to be cute and quirky. Sometimes she did do things which bordered on reckless and stupid but still she was a likeable heroine.

Then we have Wes. Wes was a man of few words and by few I mean really few. I don't know if that's a biker thing or what but it was there. Wes does mess up in the beginning by being quite judgemental of July but he makes up for it. I liked Wes but there was nothing spectacular about him like say Cash or Nico. He was alright.

Wes and July did share chemistry and they just fell into each other's lives very easily. Aurora Rose Reynolds' books most if not all the time have kinda the insta love thing going on because of the "boom" the characters feel and that was the case here. Things move forward very quickly.

We are introduced to a ton of new characters in this one which makes me think there will be quite a few books to look forward to. I am especially curious to see June's story and we do get to meet Jax's heroine in this one too. I also really enjoyed the side romance which we get to see in the sub plot. I liked Until July.

Review-

I have read a few Aurora Rose Reynolds books before. They are usually short and sweet. When I saw that she had a new release coming up called Running Into Love I was intrigued and requested it. Running Into Love was a cute love story. I can't say that it had an extreme depth of emotion or anything but it was a nice light read.

So this is the story of Fawn. Fawn is a teacher and has been disappointed one too many times where love is concerned. One morning Fawn literally runs into Levi and thinks he's kind of a jerk. But surprise, surprise he turns out to be her new neighbour. I liked Fawn. She was sweet and awkward and a little bit quirky. Fawn was hesitant to try anything with Levi but she is definitely falling for him.

Levi on the other hand is instantly smitten by the tiny blonde who ran into him. He's a detective for the NYPD and his job makes it difficult for him to have a social life. But Levi is the one who pursues Fawn. He is kind and patient and protective of her. I really liked Levi. He was the typical lovable alpha with a possessive side.

If you are not a fan of insta love I would say stay away from Aurora Rose Reynolds books. I like them from time to time and somehow this author just makes them work in a very good way. The romance between Levi and Fawn is sweet and sexy. The descriptions of each and every single menial day to day task was a little annoying but because the book was short it was easy to get through.

Fawn and Levi's story is complete with a healthy dose of nosy interfering families from both sides. I think because this is a series both of Fawn's sisters should also be getting their books. There is also a hint of suspense threaded through the plot. It was not a super strong point but it did add to the story. All in all Running into Love is a cute and short read if you don't over think it.

Release date: September 19th 2013

REVIEW: 

Until November is the first book in the Until series by Aurora Rose Reynolds. It is the story of Asher and November. I ended up liking Until November much more than I thought. I wouldn't say it was a perfect romance read but it has got me hooked and I do want to read the stories of the remaining Mayson brothers.

November is looking forward to a change when she goes to live with her father in a small town. She starts working for her dad hoping for the best. What she doesn't expect is to bump into Asher Mayson. I really liked November. She was a sweet girl who had a bad relationship with her mother. She has missed out on love and affection until she comes to stay with her dad. What I thought could use some editing was the first chapter. I thought all of it as unnecessary.

Then we have Asher. Asher comes off as a total ass in the beginning with all his misunderstandings about November. But as things clear up we get to see the real man underneath. Asher was a total alpha. Not taking no for an answer. He was possessive and protective but all he wanted was the best for November. When November is threatened he does everything in his power to keep her safe.

I really liked Asher and November as a couple. They had incredible chemistry and they were good for each other. Their intimate scenes were hot and it was nice to see how they fall in love with each other. Though the climax and the ending was predictable with the stalker plot line it was still enjoyable.

I also really liked Asher's brothers Trevor, Cash and Nico. All of them are pretty interesting and I'm looking forward to their stories. I did find a lot of errors in the book itself though. If those would be corrected it would be an even smoother read. Overall Until November was a good read.

Summary-

Dillon Keck knew Ashlyn Mayson was drunk when she suggested they get married. He knew he should have taken her back to their hotel room and put her to bed. Instead, he did what he had been craving to do since the moment they met. 

Claim her as his. 

Waking up married in Vegas isn't something Ashlyn Mayson ever thought would happen to her. Having Dillon, her boss, a man she thinks is a dick, insist they stay married is absurd, but every time he touches her, she gets lost in him and wonders if maybe they are meant to be together. 

But someone isn't happy for Dillon and Ashlyn and their new found romance, and they're willing to do anything to keep them apart. Even commit murder.

Release date: December 27th, 2016

Review-

I have read many books by Aurora Rose Reynolds so I know that her books are not everyone's cup of tea. I prefer reading her books only from time to time because that's the way I enjoy them the most. Until Ashlyn is the third book in the Until Her series. If you have previously read or liked any of her books from the Until, Until Him or Until Her series there is a good chance you will like this one. For me, Until Ashlyn was a good read, just not one of my favourites.

Until Ashlyn is the story of Ashlyn, obviously as the name suggests, as well as Dillon. We'd met both of them previously and there were definitely sparks flying all over the place. Let's start with Ashlyn. I liked her as a heroine. She was sweet but she was not a pushover. She had her insecurities like any other normal person. Even though she was attracted to Dillon she was not sure where their relationship stood.

Then we have Dillon. Like all Aurora Rose Reynolds heroes Dillon was an alpha male. Some might find them over bearing and annoying but like I said before, I do enjoy such books from time to time. Dillon was the one who had solid feelings and was extremely sure of himself with Ashlyn. He was protective and possessive and nothing could keep him apart from Ashlyn.

As the summary suggests, the book starts off only with Ashlyn and Dillon getting married in Vegas. This is one of the tried and tested tropes of romance and it definitely works for Dillon and Ashlyn. These two are very stubborn so there were ups and down in the relationship but overall they made for a great couple.

The best part about Aurora Rose Reynolds books is the feelings of family she inculcates in her books. I loved seeing old faces and couples whom we all know and love. I also really enjoyed meeting and getting to know Dillon's side of the family. Until Ashlyn does have a mystery thread going on side by side but it was quite easy to figure out that plot. Overall, though Until Ashlyn may not be my favourite of the bunch, it was still a good read.
