Blurb
Ellie Anthony isn’t looking for love. She isn’t even looking for a man, but when Jax Mayson insists on keeping her and her daughter safe, she’s left with no choice but to trust him. Now she just hopes she doesn’t get hurt when she falls hard for a guy who’s known for breaking hearts.


Jax Mayson knows that Ellie is his BOOM the moment he sees her. When he finds out she has a daughter, he realizes he wants a family, and he will do whatever is necessary to keep both of his girls safe, even if that means facing the demons from his past.
 
 
Excerpt:  Until Jax
“Thank you again for taking me.” Pulling my eyes from the road for a brief moment, I look at Ellie. Her head is resting against the window, her legs pulled up onto the seat, tucked near her ass, and her arms are wrapped tight around them. One thing I’ve noticed about her over the last few hours is she’s always wrapping her arms around herself or tucking her body into a tight ball. It’s like she’s forcing herself to stay together.
“I told you I got you, baby,” I say gently, wanting more than anything to take her hand in mine, but every time I touch her, she freezes up like she’s waiting for me to strike out at her, and I would be lying if I said that didn’t piss me the fuck off. It does; it feels like a slap in the face every time it happens.
“I know,” she whispers, and the tears I hear in her voice cause a sharp pain in my chest.
Fuck.
“This is the turnoff.” Her feet go to the floorboard and her hands to the dash as she sits up taller, moving her face closer to the windshield. We drive up a long dirt driveway with forest and the occasional broken down car on each side. When we make it to the top of the hill, a singlewide trailer comes into view, with junk cars and garbage piled up out front.
As soon as I come to a stop, she opens her door and hops out before I can tell her to keep her little ass in the cab. I don’t even know how I’m going to deal with the range of emotions that have settled over me since seeing her for the first time.
“Fucking Boom,” I mutter, getting out behind her and doubling my steps until I’m able to reach her side, where I wrap my hand around her waist and pull her closer to me. She’s so fucking tiny that the top of her dark head sits right at my chest. So fragile, from her too soft skin to her petite size. And she’s mine.
 
 
REVIEW BY IZA
It took me a while to get into this book and here's why.

I like ARR's books. They're fun and light. So far, I could take the insta-love that seems to be her thing, and the sometimes overbearing alphas. But, I felt this one kind of took it to a whole new level. So, I had to get through the parts that seemed a tad bit far-fetched, in order to get into the book and story. Once that happened, all was well. I liked it.

Yes, the "boom" continues here too. Jax is Cash and Lilly's son. He helps rescue Ellie in Until July. Ellie's not a girl that had love while growing up but she's doing her best to provide everything for her daughter, Hope.

So, the book had its cute parts, it also had its hot parts and hey, if you're into the whole 'insta-insta-love' and not bothered like I was and Ellie - yes, we both shared some moments, I felt what she did, at first - then this is going to be the perfect book for you.

For me, it was okay and I decided to rate it 3.5 stars. I'm still curious about what comes next, it's hinted at the following couples, so I'll be all over it.
3.5 STARS
 
 
REVIEW BY SHANDA
 
Until Jax is the story of Jax Mayson finding his BOOM. Jax meets Ellie while saving his cousin July. Discovering she is his boom he wants to make everything okay for her. He moves her and her little girl Hope in with him so she can get back on her feet. The Mayson family welcomes her with open arms and of course they make everything better.

I really liked Ellie’s back story. I liked that it wasn’t her running from an abusive ex but rather a sad tale of how her and Hope ended up struggling. Ellie was sweet but she was a fighter and always looking forward to make life better for Hope. Hope and Jax were freaking adorable together. I love stories with little kids especially when little girls bring the alphas to their knees.

I did feel there was something missing in the story but I’m not sure what. The ending was a bit rushed and needed a better resolution. I am also very intrigued by Sage and his possible lady love.

Yes Aurora Rose Reynolds books are formulatic and insta-love to the max but that is the reason I read them. She is my go to when I want a fun, light, guilty pleasure read. I will probably keep reading these as long as she writes them, they make me smile and take me out of reality for a while.
