On the outside, Hayden is every girl’s fantasy, brooding and devastatingly gorgeous. He spends his nights losing himself in alcohol and faceless girls, but it’s all just a facade. An elaborate cover for the emotionless shell of a man he is. One who harbors too many secrets and destroys lives the way his was destroyed. It’s the reason he avoids relationships and keeps everyone at arm’s length… length…
Until Alex
Alex’s life just shattered into a million pieces, leaving her with more grief than she knows what to do with and guilt so deep it’s destroyed the carefree girl she once was. Now she’s hundreds of miles from home, living with an aunt she doesn’t know, finishing senior year at a college she’s never been to, and trying desperately to get through a single day without breaking down. She’s never felt more alone in her life…
Until Hayden
The trouble with Hayden is who he wants to be and who he is are in constant flux. And though he’d die before letting Alex learn the truth about him, he can’t be sure he’s strong enough to let her in…or push her away. She’s the one person who just might see the real him.

4 1/2 stars!
OMG I can’t believe this was a debut for J. Nathan. She is one of the only New Adult authors I will read and I hadn’t yet read her earlier books. I am so glad I decided too!
Hayden and Alex’s story is truly a sweet, wonderful and emotional love story. Despite their ages, these two seem so much more mature in their thinking if not always in their actions. They both have been through so much in their young lives and it makes total sense that they would bond over it. Their bond is beyond special though and a beautiful thing to witness. Their love is one for the ages.
Fantastic debut!
This is such a great angsty read and I loved every second of it. Its on my reread list because I just cant get enough of these characters. Alex and Hayden have been through terrible things throughout their lives. There are a lot of twists and turns but can they help heal each other? This story is so so good it keeps you on your toes guessing what is next with these two and the chemistry is off the charts.
I loved this book!! If I didn’t already love this authors writing, this book would have sealed the deal!! I loved Alex and Hayden. This was a very emotional book!! I swear I had butterflies in my stomach half the book! Hayden may not be the typical knight in shining armor but he was in my book!! I was pulled in from the beginning and didn’t want to put it down, it consumed me and made me lose track of time and I find those are the best kind of books!! it was hot, sexy and beautiful!!
OMG! Why in the heck did it take me this freaking long to read this book? I immediately one-clicked all of her previous releases after reading For Finlay back in early 2017 and planned to read them all as soon as possible. Unfortunately, life got in the way and it never happened…until now! The moment I began this story I knew that there was no way I was putting it down until I reached the very end because her writing instantly captures my undivided attention and holds on tight. This book was no exception and I can’t wait to dive into her next book right after I finish writing this review!
Until Alex is a beautifully written and emotionally captivating read that will bring on ALL THE FEELS! Alex and Hayden’s story is one that will make you laugh and cry all at the same time. Seriously be prepared for the abundance of emotions that are sure to come. These two young souls have both been through so much, but fate brought them together and their instant connection helped heal them in the end. Love might not fix all problems, but this story makes me believe that there is someone out there for everyone! Readers be prepared for this raw and heartwarming story to capture you whole body and soul…
