This is a STANDALONE and a spin-off of the New York Times best-selling Until Series
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 … 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.

Wow. Absolutely love this series. From the original down to the second generation. Jax has that BOOM when he sees Ellie for the first time. Fast pace, and entertaining. Can’t wait to read the next book.
A sweet and heartwarming journey to go on with Jax, Ellie and little Hope. I enjoyed this story
BOOM! Instant! Heart stoppingly beautiful! The minute Jax lays eyes on Ellie, he is gone but she has been through so much. Will she be able to trust him?
For Jax, there is no question and damn if that didnt melt my heart and everything else! He will do every thing in his power and beyond to keep her and Hope safe.
But like the other Mayson men, he has a stage one clinger causing grief too!!
Once opened, I could not put this book down. Jax has become my new favourite (although no one will quite surpass Nico!).
I received this book as an ARC for an honest review.
In this book we find out more about Ellie and Jax. When this book opens up we find out what happened happened to Ellie after she and July are taken from the farmhouse. Ellie is taken to the hospital to get her re-hydrated and to allow her to sleep. The problem with this is all Ellie can think about is her daughter Hope, and the need to make sure she is safe. Ellie doesn’t know what to do now that she is safely out of the kidnappers hands since it was her own mother who sold her to them in the first place. Knowing that she isn’t safe at home doesn’t make her feel that being with Jax is any better of a solution. However she finds out while living with him that even though she isn’t sure about them as a couple this is possibly the safest place for her.
Jax has always known about the boom. He and his cousins had heard about this from their uncles for as long as he can remember. However he didn’t expect to feel like this when he met her. The day he sees Ellie coming out of that farmhouse is the day he knows that he has found his boom. The thing is how does he make her realize that she is not only his right now but his future as well. He knows everyday he is with her the more he wants to be with her. He knows to get the girl he has to make sure that she and her little girl are safe from the people who took her. The more he learns about these guys the more he knows he has to keep her safe.
This book is another hit out of the park for this author. Jax’s is the first story in the Until Him series that looks to be as good if not better than the original until series books. In this book we find a book about love, acceptance, and a chance to hold on to something amazing when life tries to take it at every turn. I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone and everyone.
This is a good one to pick up if you’re looking for an alpha male with a tender side. And who doesn’t like one of those? Although this is technically the first novel in the spinoff Until Him series, I would highly recommend you read Until July first. There is some important carry over from the plot of that novel, and it sort of picks up where the other one left off. I even had to go back and remind myself as to what happened at the end of Until July to remember who was who. If I hadn’t previously read the other novel, I honestly think I would have been a little lost.
Ellie is Jax’s BOOM, which is sort of a thing in the Mayson family clan. He’s 100% smitten over both Ellie, as well as her daughter. What Jax doesn’t realize at first is that Ellie’s daughter is actually the child of her brother who died in a car accident. Ellie is in fact a virgin.
So what does it mean to be the BOOM of a male Mayson? Basically, Jax is all kind of alpha caveman when it comes to Ellie. That being said, he actually manages to take things somewhat slow with Ellie sexually. He doesn’t de-flower her until well into the book, but he’s definitely claimed her for his own. I love me some alpha male, although caveman alphas can sometimes be too much for me. However, Jax manages to be so unbelievably sweet with Ellie’s daughter that you can’t help but love the guy.
There is some added drama to the story-line, as Jax has a psycho ex-girlfriend. He is a Mayson after all. The majority of the novel fixates on the blossoming romance between Jax and Ellie, but just when you think all is well and good, some major shit hits the fan. I’m telling ya, it’s like a trademark for any book related to the Until series. Something has to go wrong at some point!
I’ve read this book a few times. I have enjoyed the instant pull that Jax feels toward Ellie, and I loved how much he cared for Ellie’s daughter right from the beginning. And I loved revisiting the original cast from the Until series.
There are quite a few errors in spelling and grammar, but for the most part, I was able to overlook them (after noticing them) and enjoy the story.
CAN THIS SERIES GET ANY BETTER?????!!!!!
I keep asking myself how the hell can Aurora Rose Reynolds beat the book prior to this one…and whilst it may not be surpassing the other it is neck and neck in all the right races!
ALPHA HOTNESS – TICK
STEAM – TICK
SWOON WORTHY – TICK
CHEMISTRY – TICK
I do not have enough words to explain how much I loved Jax and Ellie!
Without giving away anything I have to say – you must read Until July FIRST for the start of this one to make sense and for you to get the best picture before you lose your mind to the bossy alpha that is Jax Mayson!
I would highly recommend knowing what’s happening and what better way than to devour more Mayson madness!
Jax is insta-love with all the trimmings! He is demanding and protective in the best possible way and Ellie is the perfect recipient for all that hotness personified!
I loved every single swoon, steamy and loved up word!
Ellie literally falls into Jaxs’ arms from the woods and from that moment – BOOM!!! Her fate is sealed!
As we get a front row seat to these two fumbling their way through getting to know each other it’s like reading their romance in reverse!
The insta connection was immediate so all the other things, like getting to know each other, became secondary to their connection!
Ellie, and her adorable daughter Hope, will quickly worm their way under your skin until you find yourself silently chanting for these two to give in to their overwhelming feelings for each other and become a family of three!
Once again Aurora Rose Reynolds has shown us just how easily she can write the fuck out of an amazingly swoon worthy story with the perfect balance of angst and happiness all rolled in to one!!
If you haven’t dived head first into the world of the Mayson Men then – what the hell are you waiting for?!?!?!?!???!?!
GO!!
DO IT NOW!!!
You will not regret it!!!
I can’t tell you enough how much I love this series! This one was no different. I really loved Jax and Ellie together! Another enjoyable read and very well written. This series is absolutely worth the read and should be in everyones collection 🙂 really liked the story and cannot wait to read the next one.
Holy Heck!!!
Now Aurora Rose Reynolds has done it!!!!
How the heck did she pull off another fantastic book?
Heck, I don’t know! But it was a hell of a trip. I’m still in awww.
Hot as heck and just a wonderful read.
I loved this book!!
Jax is one sexy man, “baby, unless you’re gonna give me something to eat at home,”I drop my eyes to her lap, “then take me to get food.” Sometimes it’s better to show his woman how serious he is, “feel this?” he asks against my ear, pressing his erection into my back. “This only happens for you. No one else, baby, and that’s the effing truth. You have unknowingly ruined me for all other women.” Jax likes to put all options out there for his woman, “oh.” He smiles then murmurs, “Unless you want to give Hope her sister, then we can forgo all forms of birth control.” I loved this book I can’t wait for more in this series.
Ellie Anthony is found and rescued by a beautiful man but her only desire is to find her daughter Hope and make sure she is safe. Little does she know that this one meeting is the beginning of a new life for her. The moment Jax Mayson sees Ellie he knows she is his “boom” and he will go through hell to make sure her and her daughter Hope will be safe again. This book is full of romance, danger, jealousy and twists that will keep you guessing. Jax, Ellie and Hope are so perfect together and the sexy scenes between Jax and Ellie are off the charts hot. This book is just another in a long line of books in this series that will melt anyone’s kindle and keep you guessing until the last page. Amazing read and one I highly recommend. The narration of Jillian Macie and Roger Wayne just enhanced the story and brought all my favorite characters to life.
the ‘boom’ continues with jax..love this series never disappoints
Aurora Rose Reynolds hits it out of the park again! Capturing my attention from page one, Until Jax is the perfect blend of innocence, possessiveness, endangerment, with infinite possibilities of love.
The connection between Ellie and Jax is immediate! BOOM!…the Mayson tradition takes effect again when Jax first lays eyes on Ellie. Jax is captivated, and will do anything to protect Ellie and her daughter from anyone and anything! Being known as a heartbreaker, Jax is hoping Ellie will see past his history with woman, and give them a chance to be a family. Ellie is a strong, intelligent, and responsible young woman, who has been a single mom to her deceased brother’s daughter, Hope. Only having herself to depend on and having just escaped a horrific situation, can Ellie learn to trust a man she just met, with her and Hope’s safety?…Can she trust a man she is quickly falling for to not break her heart, and have the confidence to ask for help?
Until Jax is the perfect beginning to Aurora’s new Until Him Series! Not familiar with her books? Start from the very beginning with Until November. You will not be disappointed!
A passionate and riveting, 5+ star MUST READ! Can’t wait for more!
