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
