Until Tennessee by Sarah O’Rourke is the story of Marek Haws and Clarity Escobar, and is a part of the Happily Ever Alpha Series. This can be a standalone book but the characters of past and future do mix together in the books. Clarity is escaping California from her abusive husband with her two children when she meets Marek a cop in Tennessee. The ‘Boom’ happens for Marek and he knows he needs to make Clarity his.
What an amazing story by this wonderful author! I loved Marek and Clarity’s chemistry and the bond with her kids was wonderful to witness and their HEA was fantastic <3 This was a great addition to the "Until Series" from the Happily Ever Alpha World!
Prior to reading Until Tennessee, I had read Until Sunrise by Sarah O’Rourke, so my experience with this author is her writing in the Happily Ever Alpha World. And I very much enjoyed reading Until Tennessee!
I really felt the BOOM between Marek and Clarity. And I really loved those kids!
I look forward to finding more books by Sarah O’Rourke to read!
Marek has his work cut out for him to get Clarity on the same page regarding their BOOM, after everything she’s been through at the hands of another cop. But he’s up to the task, and has the patience to see it through for her, Addie & Zain.
Quick read, sweet & swoony hero, strong heroine, cute kiddos, and a spoonful of steam at just the right time in the story. : )
Patience and Resilience Build a Strong Foundation for Love
In Sarah O’Rourke’s contribution to the 2019 Happily Ever Alpha World, Marek feels the BOOM the moment he interacts with Clarity in the middle of a busy intersection. Traumatized and struggling to provide for her children, Clarity is leary of of his motivations but over time Marek’s actions prove he can be the one to give her the HEA she deserves but never thought she would have. Marek and Clarity’s story has clear ties back the original Until Him Series by Aurora Rose Reynolds through Marek’s connection to Cobi Mayson. Until Tennessee is well-written short story making it is a quick easy read at 75 pages. Relatable characters dealing with true to life issues and toddler who provides moments of levity create the foundation for a story that is both poignant and entertaining.
This book starts with a real stunner to your heart. Clarity lived with the Devil until she knew that everything was ginna get worse. She knew she had to get away and thats exactly what she did.
She took a huge dangerous leap and it paid of in the end. She was happier and so were Zain and Addison.
Marek was exactly what tgis family needed. You couldn’t help the smile you got once these two found each other. You just knew the Gods were smiling.
Grab this book its the HEA we would want to read about….

This story was a perfect blending of Sarah O’Rourke’s style and ARR’s story elements, and I loved it even more than I thought I was going to. Clarity’s desperate plight and situation are so well drawn that I *felt* like I was there with her in that car with her kids. Marek was the perfect hero for Clarity; strong, steadfast, devoted, loving and supportive. I loved that he put Clarity and the kids first all the while working toward his ultimate goal of making them all HIS family.
The resolution of Clarity’s situation was a surprise to me, and I kept expecting a twist because…well, 90% of the stories with that set up end up the exact same way. I liked that the story went the unexpected route and then whacked me with that scene toward the end. Sneaky.
I enjoyed this book tremendously, and the story length did not impede the sense of a full and complete story and characters. I was tremendously please to have won an ARC of this book in exchange for an unbiased review.
Back in one of my favorite “worlds”, the Until series, and part of the Boom spinoff, Sarah O’Roarke does justice with her Until book of Until Tennessee. Clarity is running from an abusive Police husband, and lands in Tennessee where she is trying to start over with 2 small children, and staying under the radar. Marek is a detective who’s partner is Cobi Mayson, part of the famous Mayson family, and who we met in Until Cobi in this series. The story takes you on a journey of their romance, and makes it a part of the the wonderful Until Series world. Quick heartwarming, emotional read. I actually think Addison was my favorite character. When she gets “older” she needs a story of her own!
I forgot how much emotion Sarah O’Rourke writes with, these two always pull all my heartstrings. At one point I had tears streaming down my face, because they always nail it. The very real issues they write about are always dead on and they totally nail it every time. They always hit close to home and they always write it beautifully emotional.
Clarity is on the run, from her abusive husband, to protect her and her small children. She’s been on the run for about 6 months when her car stalls in a busy intersection and Marek stops to help out. Marek is a detective with my man Cobi and once he sees Clarity, he falls for her and her beautiful children. He falls into his role so naturally and with ease, like he was made for this family. This book will take you through so many emotions and feelings, worth every second. I absolutely loved it and could not put it down.
This book was safe for me. I say this because even though she was married when they met, when a husband puts his hands on his wife and very small children….he is null and void in my world. Don’t care, he caused so much pain and fear, Clarity really stepped up and made hard choices, but vital ones to protect her family. Her daughter will forever have my heart, along with this book. So for me…it’s safe. We get a few years look into the future and a very deserving hea.
A brilliantly sweet quick read. This book was just perfect. It had enough passion and romance and a brilliant storyline to go with. Another hit that I will read again and again.
Be prepared for the ground to shake as you experience the BOOM that goes off as Marek and Clarity come face to face. A story that is captivating and will have you enchanted by the strength and bravery of Clarity. Little Addi has a personality as big as the sun and she will worm her way straight into your heart. Marek is the definition of love and protect the ones that are near and dear to you. Until Tennessee is a bewitching addition to the Alpha Happily Ever After series. This love story is passionate, swoon worthy and will definitely melt your heart.
