<b>4 stars!</b><br><br><a href="http://s1279.photobucket.com/user/Christyb23/media/Book%20Reviews%209/2BD02D7C-C503-4B68-98C9-151EDC9D75D1_zpsnzugx1tm.jpg.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> <img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1464262922i/19220016._SY540_.jpg" alt=" photo 2BD02D7C-C503-4B68-98C9-151EDC9D75D1_zpsnzugx1tm.jpg" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"> </a><br><br>I have read and loved every <i>’Until’</i> book Aurora Rose Reynolds has written. There is something about these stories, her formula and characters that I love so much! I was so excited to see another Mayson girl was getting a book. And I’m happy to report, I loved this one, too! <br><br><i>Until June</i> was just a little different than some of the others in this series… Like all the Mayson’s, June felt that BOOM right away when she met Evan. Unlike most of them, Evan and June were together, then they weren’t. This is a second chance romance and what I loved most about it is that even though this couple was apart for awhile, their love never stopped. <br><br><a href="http://s1279.photobucket.com/user/Christyb23/media/Book%20Reviews%209/ECD611AC-07AF-4B89-9318-F7C9C44D2028_zpskr5rocsv.jpg.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> <img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1464262922i/19220017._SY540_.jpg" alt=" photo ECD611AC-07AF-4B89-9318-F7C9C44D2028_zpskr5rocsv.jpg" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"> </a><br><br>Evan made some not great choices in the past, but he did it for the right reasons. He has always loved June and he wanted to protect her. Even if it was from himself and all the baggage he carried. He felt unworthy, so he stayed away. Now they’re brought back together and he can’t stay away anymore. June doesn’t know how to feel. She loved Evan with all her heart and soul, and if we’re being honest here, that feeling never went away. But it’s hard to trust someone again when they hurt you so badly. <br><br>Evan has always had June’s love, but winning back her trust is whats important to him now. She is his and he won’t give up on being with her. <br><i> <b> <blockquote>“You don’t understand that it’s impossible for me to breathe without you.”</blockquote> </b> </i> <br>I adored June and Evan together. I love that getting back together wasn’t completely rushed, but also wasn’t drawn out. Their connection was there, the love was there and they were beautiful together. Of course there was some drama, but it wasn’t relationship drama and I loved that about this book! <br><br>All the characters in these books will hold a special place to me. If Aurora keeps writing them, I’ll keep reading them! If you’re looking for a read that’s full of heart, alpha men, romance and steam- pick this one up! <br><br><a href="http://s1279.photobucket.com/user/Christyb23/media/Book%20Reviews%209/FF5F6B1A-314C-43E6-861B-8E807BC4ADD8_zpsmmjjc0qj.jpg.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> <img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1464262922i/19220018._SY540_.jpg" alt=" photo FF5F6B1A-314C-43E6-861B-8E807BC4ADD8_zpsmmjjc0qj.jpg" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"> </a>

The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was the fact that there were some things going on but they needed more development for the readers to have a clear picture.

As the second book in the Until Her Series, Aurora Rose Reynolds proves again that "the boom" is not only real, but it NEVER GETS OLD! This series is, in fact, a spin-off of the unforgettable Until Series. With a strong alpha hero and tender-hearted heroine, <b>Until June</b> was another "Mayson Romance" hit!<br><br><img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1464366673i/19232542.png" width="" height="" alt="description" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br><br><b>Until November</b> is the read that started it all. If you have read it, you remember the infamous Asher and the love of his life November. (If you haven't read it, YOU NEED TO! IT'S AMAZING!) <b>Until June</b> is the story of June (November and Asher's daughter). The Mayson Family is stocked full of strong alpha men and their sassy women. I am a huge fan of the entire cast of characters! <br><br><img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1464366400i/19232513.jpg" width="" height="" alt="description" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><blockquote> <i> <b>"Some memories have the ability to heal, the ability to light up the dark, because the beauty of the memory is so bright, you're still able to bask in it."</b> </i> </blockquote>June's life has been thrown into a tailspin. After breaking up with her boyfriend, she finds herself in the police station under allegations of being an accessory to some crimes. After convincing the law that she is innocent, she returns home to the haven of her family. Now under the protection of her loving family, she is assigned a bodyguard. Unfortunately for June, this bodyguard is her secret ex-husband and the only man she has ever loved.<blockquote> <i> <b>"You don't get to do this to me again."</b> </i> </blockquote> <img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1464366400i/19232514.jpg" width="" height="" alt="description" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><blockquote> <i> <b>"But the memories of us are killing me slowly.

After serving in the military, Evan faced demons and convinced himself the only way to keep June clean from his dirty past would be to let her go. Now being back in her space, he is questioning his choices and hoping there might be a chance to get her back. With June's hesitancy to give herself back to him, Evan's insecurities, and the fact that NO ONE knows about their sordid past, <b>Until June</b> is one read that will keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time! <blockquote> <i> <b>"Love is never stupid. It's beautiful and consuming, and we don't always have the ability to fight it when it happens."</b> </i> </blockquote><img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1464366400i/19232515.jpg" width="" height="" alt="description" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><blockquote> <i> <b>"Moving my hand to the back of her neck, I hold her shoulders down to the bed then fuck her like a mad man, so hard that the headboard bangs loudly against the wall and the picture above the bed rattles."</b> </i> </blockquote>Told in dual POV, <b>Until June</b> was practically perfect! The characters are complex, and their journey of coming back together was full of steam, heartbreak, and joy. Evan is quite "the man" in the bedroom, and he keeps June panting the through every single sexy moment. The family bonds are unbreakable, and the importance of family is one of my favorite elements in this entire series. The Reynolds formula has and always been a winner for me. Her heroes are passionate about protecting their women, they are dominant in the bedroom, and there is always mayhem and bedlam in the mix that the couple must overcome together!!! I love that I can pick up one of her books and know with certainty that I will lavish in every single second.<br><br><img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1464366673i/19232542.png" width="" height="" alt="description" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br><br>Overall, <b>Until June</b> is a must read. It was a perfect blend of romance, steam, and light action and kept me entertained the entire read.

Aurora Rose Reynolds is one of those authors for me that I will forever love. After reading <i>Until November</i> I was hooked and I don't think I will not be. I love how she can take a sweet romance story and turn it into something intriguing and unforgettable. <i>Until June</i> was nothing less than the best of ARR, and just another reason that I love her writing. <br><br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1464029323ra/19187678.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br><br><i>Until June</i>is about November and Asher's daughter and the ex-husband no one knows about. Getting married to Evan before he went to boot camp seemed like the perfect plan to June, at the time. But then he came home and ignored her, sending his mother to give her divorce papers, and never speaking to her again. She didn't know what happened but she was heartbroken, so she moved back to her home town and tried to put the past behind her. <br><br>When Evan shows up in town and starts working with her family, she tries to avoid him and the memories he brings. Evan doesn't make it easy for her though, not once he decides they need another chance. A chance to clear the air and start over with their relationship to see where it leads. He won't give up on her, even if it means facing the wrath of her family when they learn of their marriage. <br><br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1464029323ra/19187679.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br><br>Evan and June's relationship started in the past, when we didn't know them yet, but there wasn't too much of the past brought up. I actually really liked that fact, and that the past wasn't brought to the front of the books attention a ridiculous amount of times. Focusing more on the present and the people that and June and Evan were now was the perfect thing for their story and I liked that it wasn't bogged down with worrying about everything that lead to where they were now. <br><br>I loved these two together, and getting to see them rediscover their love for one another. It was beautiful to see how time away from each other and a heartbreak, never changed how they cared for one another. I liked both of the characters and thought the development of them was done very well. There were no big changes in their characters but I felt like both June and Evan grew up some throughout the book and I liked seeing that. <br><br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1464029323ra/19187680.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br><br>There was one thing that seemed a bit rushed near the end of the book, and it didn't make too much sense to me. It was brought up earlier in the story, but then not mentioned again. Then <i>bam</i> it was there again and finished. Almost seemed like it was forgotten about, and then when remembered the author had to come up with a fast solution for it. It wasn't a big deal, but it did confuse me a little. <br><br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1464029693ra/19187747.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br><br>Overall, if you haven't read this series yet you are definitely missing something great. Not only is it easy to get sucked into the main characters' lives and want to be there with them, it's almost impossible to not feel the same with all the secondary characters. I love that there's a strong sense of family in these books, and I think most other people will too. <br><br><i>ARC kindly provided by TRSOR PR in exchange for an honest review.</i>

<br />Totally drool-worthy!<br /><br />HELP ! Can a person who suffers from the MAYSON's syndrome ever overcome it? The depth of commitment and love the Mayson family members have for one another is immeasurable.<br /><br />Until June is the second book of the Until Her series, which follow the lives of June Mayson (one of Asher and November’s daughters from the Until Series) and Evan Barrister. I loved this book ! Aurora Rose Reynolds is definitely an auto buy author for me. I'm a sucker for a second chance romance, and this one delivered it in spades! Once again, we are given a beautiful story with engaging and lovable characters. <br /> <br />A few years ago June is away at college when she met Evan. They fall hard and secretly got married before Evan left for boot camp. June promised to wait for him, only for things to fall apart soon after. When she’s served with divorce papers while Evan is overseas in Afghanistan, it's the last thing she expects. She’s devastated, hurt, heartbroken and in a bad place for a very long time. Eventually she tries to move on, feeling that she has no other choice than to let the love of her life go. When she moves back to town, circumstances bring them together and as much as she wants to deny her feelings, she can't. Will June be strong enough to take him back and overcome her fears to let Evan in again ?<br /><br /><i> <b>"He didn't hurt me, he obliterated me."</b> </i><br /><br /><i> <b>"You were all I ever wanted...I believed in you. I believed in us. There was never a time you weren't good enough for me." </b> </i>- June<br /><br />Evan messed up big time. He knows that he made a huge mistake when he left June, one he never got over. But now he’s back and he won’t let love go away again. Evan will do everything in his power to keep her forever this time. He will stop at nothing to win June back.<br /><br /><i> <b>"She wasn't important-she was f*cking vital, the best thing that ever happened to me. But then I had to let her go so my f*cked up didn't ruin her."</b> </i><br /><br /><i> <b>"Just like always, she has no idea how much her words effect me, how much she makes me want to be a better man."</b> </i><br /><br />From cover to cover this book is filled with passion, emotion, forgiveness, heat and love that can only be experienced when you find your BOOM! Yep, that is what the Mayson family calls it, when they find the one woman or the one man for them.<br /><br />Once these two find their way back to each other, their attraction soared to reach a new dimension and they were both all in. ! I enjoyed the sex scenes. Pretty, pretty hot. 5 flames hot.They definitely were making up for lost time !!! ARR really knows how to steam up the pages… <br /><br /><i> <b>"I swear my body is in tune with hers, like there is an invisible wire connecting us."</b> </i><br /><br />Evan is straight up sex on a stick and this perfect combination of dirty talking Alpha male, loyal and sweet. He’s possessive and protective as all hell but that's what we read these books for right ?! The total package !<br /><br />From the start this book grabbed my undivided attention until the very end. Can’t wait to read the next instalment in the Series, Ashlyn’s story.

I love Aurora Rose Reynolds, especially this series, I love the ��boom.” So imagine my surprise when I start reading and learn that heroine and hero used to be married. A second chance romance, WHAT?? I was not expecting that at all. I am not a huge fan of second chance romances and I was worried. <br><br><img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1464051151i/19189694._SY540_.jpg" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br><br>When June is brought in for questioning due to her ex-boyfriend’s illegal activity and her innocences is established, they realize she could be in danger. Her family sets up a system for monitoring her, enter Evan. Like I said, June knows Evan and has a past with him. We quickly learn that June and Evan used to be married, but that he ended things. <br><br>Listen I already love the Maysons, so that means I am Team June out the gate. I immediately wanted to know what actions could possibly justify Evan’s breaking her heart. As a person who isn’t a fan of second chance romances I needed it to be justifiable. <br><br><img src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/50/67/8a/50678af2ad519b9e1ca1d376a609be16.jpg" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br><br>I didn’t necessary love Evan’s reasons, but I did understand them more. I just wish things had been different in the past, but I am very aware that’s just my preferences. I did LOVE how things moved very quickly and it wasn’t long before I felt that immediately connection. I love how these heroes don’t mess around and claim their women - I know it’s caveman-ish, but I don’t even care a little, I love it.<br><br><b> <i> <blockquote>“You don’t understand that it’s impossible for me to breathe without you.” </blockquote> </i> </b><br><br>If you are a fan of these stories, you will love this one too. As always, it’s a quick read and the plot moves very quickly, it’s sexy and fun, and allows us to see all our favorite characters from the past. <br><br><b> <i>ARC kindly provided in exchange for an honest review. </i> </b><br><br><i>Teasers created by me with stock images purchased from depositphotos.</i><br><br> <a href="http://readingissexybookblog.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow noopener"> <img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1423003910i/13574955.jpg" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"> </a> <br> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Reading-is-Sexy-Book-Blog/717861984979600" rel="nofollow noopener"> <img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1423003910i/13574956.jpg" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"> </a> <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/13095060-beverly" rel="nofollow noopener"> <img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1423003910i/13574957.jpg" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"> </a> <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/readingissexybo/" rel="nofollow noopener"> <img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1423003910i/13574958.jpg" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"> </a> <a href="http://www.twitter.com/reading_sexy" rel="nofollow noopener"> <img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1423003910i/13574959.jpg" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"> </a> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/" rel="nofollow noopener"> <img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1423003910i/13574960.jpg" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"> </a>

This contemporary romance is filled with fun moments and sensual times. It's not cheesy, full of insta-love, or hard to get into. I absolutely adored the main couple. Their relationship was sweet, realistic, in no way overdone and totally believable.<br><br>It's kinda a different kind of love story. Evan and June were secretly married before Evan left for boot camp. While he’s overseas, June is served with divorce papers. Evan experiences the cruelty and sadness of war and he knows she’s too good for him. June can’t do anything else but accept his decision, although she’s deeply in love with him. When he comes back, their paths collide and feelings deep and hidden come to the surface. <br><br>I loved Evan. The emotions that he fights to keep away keep coming up. Will these two be right for each other? Will Evan and June give into the sexual tension between them or keep clashing avoiding the tension that is building between them on a daily basis. You will have to read to find out!! <br><br>This book didn’t disappoint. It has memorable characters and a burning passion that singes each page. The way everything happens just works so well in the book and I highly recommend it!<br><br><br><i>ARC generousdly provided in exchange for an honest review.</i><br><a href="http://s1379.photobucket.com/user/Olga_NNikolaidi/media/12665771_584238145059887_1835520696_n_zps3xqoyoc0.jpg.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> <img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1454760185i/18010373._SX540_.jpg" alt=" photo 12665771_584238145059887_1835520696_n_zps3xqoyoc0.jpg" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"> </a>

<b> 4,5 Second Chance Stars. </b> <br><br>June and Evan fell in love with each other and got married in secret. Their plan was to stay together forever and raise a family, but all that changes with Evan’s deployment with the army. The only thing June gets is the divorce papers to sign with no apparent reason to why Evan decided to do it. Broken hearted she tries to move one with her life, she finishes college and she moves back to her hometown next to her family. <br>What she didn’t expect was Evan’s return. He’s a friend and works together with her cousin and when June finds herself in the middle of a tricky situation, he’s the first one called to protect her. She doesn’t trust Evan, he broke her heart once and may as well do it a second time, but this time Evan is decided to have her again, and not letting her go this time. And when feelings that never disappeared are tested again, falling a second time it’s almost as easy as the first. <br><br> <img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1466120885i/19442405.jpg" width="400" height="400" alt="description" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br><br>If you’ve read Aurora Rose Reynolds before you know the drill: lots of insta-love, some drama, low angst, sexy scenes and possessive alpha-males. Her formula is always the same, and in this case I’m a full supporter of the saying that you don’t change a winning team. You know exactly what are you going to get but if you like it (like me), you’ll read everything she writes anyway (again, like me). <br>There was a slightly change in her M.O. with the introduction of a second chance romance, but I’m a sucker for those so I loved it and as some reviewers noticed and I completely agree, there was a certain KA vibe with this book. But then again, KA is THE queen so anything that reminds me of her books, will always be a good thing in my eyes. <br>All this to say that once again I got completely addicted to an Aurora’s books, an if you want to read a sexy and sweet second chance romance with a possessive and swoon worthy alpha male, this is definitely a good choice. <br><br><img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1429744792i/14626262.jpg" width="350" height="120" alt="description" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br><br> <b>Rating: </b> 4,5 Stars. <br> <b>Steam: </b> Hot. <br> <b>Sensible Subjects: </b> <input type="checkbox" class="spoiler__control" aria-label="The following text has been marked spoiler.
