Until July by Aurora rose Reynolds Review

3 stars
I'm not sure what to say about this book. I both liked and disliked it.

Synopsis:
"Wes Silver wasn’t looking for love, but when July Mayson literally knocks him on his ass during their first encounter, his world is turned upside down by the quirky blonde, and every moment with her makes him more determined to protect her. 

July Mayson doesn’t understand the pull she feels toward the bad boy biker Wes Silver, but she knows being with him is like nothing she’s ever felt before. Now all she has to do is tell her overprotective father, Asher Mayson, that she’s found her boom."

I feel so unsure about what to say because I'm on the fence. On one hand I really liked seeing all of the Mayson family, that was a lot of fun! I also really enjoyed how July didn't take any shit from anybody; I love characters that stand up for themselves no matter who they are standing against.

But I didn't like the fact that July would just follow her annoying friend into very dangerous situations, for no reason. That to me was beyond stupid. I also wasn't a fan of Wes sometimes. In general I liked him, I liked that he could apologize and own up to being an asshole; but it felt too frequent that he had to do that. 

The writing was also something I felt an issue with. It felt off for some reason. I have read all but 2 of Aurora's books and I really enjoy her writing style and I feel pretty familiar with it, so I can say with some confidence that with this story something about it felt really off. I didn't like the big gaps of time that we didn't get to see or read and there were a few instances where I felt like I was being told instead of being shown. I don't know, it was almost as if the July inner dialogue was supposed to convince me that I was supposed to like or feel a certain way. I'm not sure how to explain it but I wanted to see what was happening that I apparently was supposed to like, instead of being told what had happened over a stretch of time that wasn't written.

Final thoughts:
Overall it was a pretty enjoyable read but I wasn't super impressed. I definitely think it is worth checking out if you have read the Until series, because I thought it was super fun to look at where the family is now.

I received this book in exchange for my honest opinion

Wes Silver wasn’t looking for love, but when July Mayson literally knocks him on his ass during their first encounter, his world is turned upside down by the quirky blonde, and every moment with her makes him more determined to protect her.

July Mayson doesn’t understand the pull she feels toward the bad boy biker Wes Silver, but she knows being with him is like nothing she’s ever felt before. Now all she has to do is tell her overprotective father, Asher Mayson, that she’s found her boom.

Excerpt:

“What the fuck is wrong with you.” The guy that was at the head of the group asks stepping in front of my bike.

I shake my head as words are lodged in my throat.

He pulls me off my bike and the men who are with him begin yelling obscenities as well.

“Sorry.” I croak out and I don’t even know if he hears me his hand goes to the collar of my leather jacket and he shakes me hard and my hand accidently presses down on the button for the Taser to ignite it. The loud crack fills the air and his eyes go wide then he falls to the ground and I fall on my ass and crab walk backwards then look up when I hit something only to meet the eyes of another man who looks pissed.

“Get up.” He growls picking me up my feet flail under me as I’m lifted off the ground with my hands restrained behind my back.

“Hold him still.” The guy who I had Tazered growls in front of me as I try to get away from the anger I feel coming off him.  His hands go to my head and he rips my helmet off causing my hair to float down around me.

Complete silence descends I swear no one even takes a breath.

“Um.” I bite my lip.

Ride Steady by Kristen Ashley (part of the Chaos series)
June 30th 2015
The ride of her life . . . Once upon a time, Carissa Teodoro believed in happy endings. Money, marriage, motherhood: everything came easy---until she woke up to the ugly truth about her Prince Charming. Now a struggling, single mom and stranded by a flat tire, Carissa's pondering her mistakes when a vaguely familiar knight rides to her rescue on a ton of horsepower.

Climb on and hold tight . . . 
In high school, Carson Steele was a bad boy loner who put Carissa on a pedestal where she stayed far beyond his reach. Today, he's the hard-bodied biker known only as Joker, and from the way Carissa's acting, it's clear she's falling fast. While catching her is irresistible, knowing what to do with her is a different story. A good girl like Carissa is the least likely fit with the Chaos Motorcycle Club. Too bad holding back is so damned hard. Now, as Joker's secrets are revealed and an outside threat endangers the club, Joker must decide whether to ride steady with Carissa---or ride away forever . . .

The Four by Rhys Ford (part of the Ink and Shadows series)
July 2015
Kismet Andreas lives in fear of the shadows.

For the young tattoo artist, the shadows hold more than darkness. He is certain of his insanity because the dark holds creatures and crawling things only he can see—monsters who hunt out the weak to eat their minds and souls, leaving behind only empty husks and despair.

And if there’s one thing Kismet fears more than being hunted—it’s the madness left in its wake.

The shadowy Veil is Mal’s home. As Pestilence, he is the youngest—and most inexperienced—of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, immortal manifestations resurrected to serve—and cull—mankind. Invisible to all but the dead and insane, the Four exist between the Veil and the mortal world, bound to their nearly eternal fate. Feared by other immortals, the Horsemen live in near solitude but Mal longs to know more than Death, War and Famine.

Mal longs to be… more human. To interact with someone other than lunatics or the deceased.

When Kismet rescues Mal from a shadowy attack, Pestilence is suddenly thrust into a vicious war—where mankind is the prize, and the only one who has faith in Mal is the human the other Horsemen believe is destined to die.



Power of Attorney by N.M Silber (part of the Lawyers in Love series)
April 2015
Federal prosecutor, Jacob Sachs, doesn't enter a room, he storms it, usually with a trail of assistants following in his wake. His confidence and skills in the courtroom are legendary. He's accustomed to being envied and desired, but he's not accustomed to being challenged.

Abby Roth is an intelligent and skilled attorney, with a mind even sharper than her tongue. She's a force to be reckoned with, in court and just about everywhere else. She can hold her own with the best, and give even a courtroom Titan like Jacob a run for his money. 
When Jacob and Abby are forced to work together to stop an infamous group of hackers, it quickly becomes apparent that the chemistry between them is explosive. Together, can two lusty lawyers handle bossy bureaucrats, testy tree huggers, aspiring anarchists and a cranky bailiff named Harriet?
