Distraction: The great intensity, novelty, or attractiveness of something other than the object of attention.Sven is a man who takes pride in his ability to separate himself from his emotions. He’s a man who knows who he is and where he’s going in life, a man who needs no one, because needing someone, anyone, is a weakness. His past taught him love isn’t enough. Maggie wants the happily ever … wants the happily ever after, but has never picked the right men, or stuck around long enough, to build a forever. It’s always been easier to get out early, before emotions make things messy.
When Maggie wakes up naked in Sven’s bed, with no memory of the night before, these two must be honest about their feelings and face their fears, so they can build a future together.
Will love be enough for them to get their happy ending together, or will a threat from outside strike them down before they ever have a chance?
This book contains an over the top alpha who knows what he wants, it also contains sexual situations that may not be suitable for younger audiences.

Oh wow Sven!! At first Sven is going to make you mad because of his womanizing ways but then oh man you will swoon over the way he falls for Maggie and tries to win her over. Maggie and Sven meet when she comes into his club looking to get information on who hurt her sister. Of course this irritates Sven because she is scaring off customers with her questions and warnings. So he offers her a position to work for him so he can keep an eye on her and keep her out of trouble. As these two start spending more time together every day since they now work together the sparks start to fly much to Maggie’s displeasure, well at first but then she realizes she is falling for him. Some drama happens that puts their lives in danger but don’t worry everything always works out in the end. I won’t give any details to spoil it so go read this book. You won’t be disappointed.
Hands down, Maggie is one of my favorite heroines ever….like ever. She comes to Svens club looking for the guys that drugged and beat up her little sister. She is a bit of a badass and I love that she is trying to protect her sister. “I spot Maggie with a man’s head tucked under her arm as she leads him to the front of the club.” LMAO, freaking awesome. She becomes a daily fixture at the club and obviously is on Sven’s radar. It probably doesn’t hurt that she’s curvy, gorgeous and won’t put up with Sven’s nonsense…or fall all over him. Loved this girl, seriously she was awesome, thankfully Sven knows it and knows his fast ass got lucky landing her. He finally offers her a job, since she’s there all the time. These two cracked me up, I loved their back and forth. She is not some push over and she always lets him know it…loved it.
This was a safe read, because once he meets Maggie…he only has eyes for her. There was a scene at the beginning of the book where he is with someone else…but he has not met Maggie yet…so all’s good. This is such a great storyline, and with her books there is always some suspense and wth moments. There may be a few triggers for some readers. Her books always touch on real life situations, and for some those can be triggers. We get to see some of our favorite characters, from this series and her Until series. Oh, and the shenanigans the girls in this series do, they are such handfuls. Not sure who they thought they were dealing with, but their men won’t put up with that nonsense for a hot ass second. Funny af. There was so much heat between these two, he is literally insatiable after he has her, he just can’t keep his hands off her. A virgin, a shit ton of baby batter, a kick ass epilogue and an hea. Book crack series my reading peeps…
Holy fudgesticks!! Sven…….just hold that name in your head…..Sven…Good Lord above that man! I can now say without a doubt to date (this may just last until the next ARR book I read!), Sven is top of my list followed by Nico and Kai….well why pick one when you can pick three!
Anyhoo! From the moment he sets his eyes on Maggie, he goes into growling, alpha mode! Maggie is constantly frustrated by him but even she can’t deny their chemistry, although she will do all she can to not give in to a man who is used to women throwing themselves at him!
When it looks like someone is out to hurt Maggie, Sven will stop at nothing to keep her safe. It looks like he may have his work cut out!!
I absolutely loved this book!
Great series! Loving Aurora Rose Reynold’s work!
“Perfect is unattainable and an unrealistic expectation. No one is perfect, and if you think they are, you will be let down when you see they are flawed, just like everyone else.”
Aurora is one of the few authors whose books I’ll automatically one-click without even reading the blurb. Her The Underground Kings series is a bit darker than her Until series. However I enjoyed reading both of them. Aurora knows how to write sexy alpha males who are possessive, protective and strong.
Distraction focuses on Sven, a club owner and Maggie, a plus-size model. I loved how they met: Maggie was causing havoc at the club trying to find the guy who drugged her sister. Sven offers her a job as his assistant after seeing that threatening to ban her from the club doesn’t work.
“I knew I would do everything within my power to make sure she never looked at or touched another man again. I knew I would do whatever necessary to make sure she was mine.”
The events in this book take place over a span of a couple of months. Maggie and Sven are friends before they turn into lovers. I loved reading how their friendship/relationship developed into more.
There was chemistry between the two from the start. They were attracted to each other. Sven was a player who picked women from the club to have sex with, while Maggie picked men who couldn’t let her down, because she didn’t have any expectations for them to live up to.
There is still unfinished business Kenton, Kai and Sven need to handle. So the couples (Kenton & Autumn + Kai & Myla) from the first two books make an appearance in this book, so it was nice to see what they were up to.
The writing is great and there is nothing I would add to this story. It was perfect the way it was. I can’t wait to read the next book. We already get a glimpse of the next book and which characters it will focus on.
Maggie is a strong alpha female and girl can stand up for herself, “do not ever doubt that I have the ability to take care of myself, Sven. I may be a woman, but I have been taking care of myself since I was a little girl,” I whisper the last part then take a step back.” As always I loved what Aurora wrote. The males are sexy alphas and the females are smart and sassy
