This is the first book that I’ve read by KL Donn, and I am definitely looking forward to more!
I think what captured me from the beginning was Arsen’s immediate BOOM- which is exactly what I was looking for, knowing that Until Aresen had originally been a part of the Happily Ever Alpha World. He was over-the-top in so many ways, but he captured my heart from the beginning. And I loved Marina, and how she struggled with being “imperfect”, but began to really see herself as more than just her “imperfection”.
I will definitely be reading subsequent books in the Daniels’ Family series!
This is one of my favorites’ from K.L. Donn 🙂 it was a sweet, emotional, steamy, and quite simply a beautiful love story between Marina and Arsen <3
Arsen, who's a detective and one of Nico's friends', saw through Marina, the sorrow and pain hiding behind her eyes and wants to extinguish it and make her happy and his... He doesn't know about her traumatic experience a year ago, that caused her to be emotionally scarred and scared to love because she thinks that once he finds out the truth behind her pain, he won't want her anymore...
Marina has a beautiful soul and loves kids, she's also a kindergarten teachers but guess who's some of those kids? Well, the Mayson clan makes their presence known since she teaches Nico & Sophie's sons 🙂
I'm glad that Aurora Rose Reynolds chose K.L. Donn as one of the author's for her Happily Ever Alpha Kindle World because she's an amazing writer; a writer who makes you feel the emotions that her characters are feeling, either good and/or bad... I especially cried when Marina confesses her secret to Arsen and his reaction made want to jump into the page and nut punch him. But after some miscommunication, which happens to/with many people and Arsen is talking to his brother, Kol, and explains what happened and his reaction or more to the fact, lack of reaction to Marina's confession, I forgave him 40%; the other 60% was when Arsen made things right his Marina and I was so happy... sorry, readers, can't spoil this so read this story to find out all the details... you won't regret it. I think many will sympathize with Marina and probably will want to nut punch Arsen then you'll forgive him like I did because he became awesome again after making things right 🙂
I loved the epilogue so much! <3 Thank you, K.L. Donn for that beautiful ending but also for giving us, the readers, a whole new series, "Daniels Family" <3 I can't wait for the next book to come out, which I'm secretly hoping it's Kol's story 😉
This was a great addition to Aurora Rose Reynolds's "Happily Ever Alpha Kindle World" and I'm honored to have read this beautiful story that also gives us a journey to discovering your true self worth; even if something bad happens and you think you're not good enough anymore; and finding your true love, your one and only, your BOOM <3 <3
A quick read in Arsen and Marina’s story. Insta-lust leads to a rocky journey and an eventual HEA. Great read!!!
What a quick super sweet insta love story. Mariana has a tough background and trying to work through what she feels os defective and broken. Arsen is the swoon worthy alpha who is instantly smitten with her. Their story is quick, sweet, fantastic chemistry and pulled at all the heart strings. The author did an amazing job pulling this one together and really grabbing the reader and making the story somewhat unpredictable.
This is my first ready by K.L Donn and I can promise it won’t be my last! This story focuses on Marina and Arsen. Both have had their fair share of heartache in the past, but it has not stopped either of them from looking for love. With a little meddling from their friends, they find themselves at the same party and instantly attracted to one another. While Arsen refuses to let his past taint his future, Marine has hidden behind her past heartache. Will she continue to let it stand in her way, or will she finally take a step toward her happily ever after.
This is an amazing story of heartbreak and finding the light at the end of the tunnel. I can’t say these are my favorite characters I have ever read, but they do find their way into my heart. This story grabs your heartstrings from the very beginning. A must read!
Absolutely loved this book!! Arsen and Marina compliment each other so well. Arsen is a homicide detective married to the job but when a buddy invites to his kid’s party his life changes. Marina has been through so much and when a parent invites her to a party she thinks, what has she got to lose? When these two meet they knew that this was the beginning of something special. This story was intriguing and compelling and I just couldn’t put it down!! I can’t wait for the next installment of this gripping series!!
Good Girl
Arsen balks at his friends attempt to set him up, it’s a kindergarten kids party, who is he gonna meet there? One look at Marina, and he’s hooked. I love how he said excuse us, thanks for inviting us and then left with Marina, no more kindergarten party!
Marina wants the fairytale, but she’s got a secret that she thinks will drive Arsen away… “Deem me unworthy.” A bit of miscommunication and the newness of their relationship and it all unravels. He’s a total protector and he makes my pulse flutter. It will be the same for you too.
I voluntarily reviewed this book.
You do not have to have read any of the Until series (Or other books in this Kindle World) to enjoy Until Arsen and this is the first book in a new series by KL Donn.
I really enjoyed Until Arsen. Arsen is a Detective and Marina is a Kindergarten teacher. I loved Arsen’s character from the start. So protective and knew Marina was his boom!
“I’m a man who knows what he wants, and what I want is Marina Parks in my arms. Tied to me.”
Marina’s character was frustrating but sweet. She feels she is so broken and can’t be loved but Arsen is so patient with her.
“His touch enflames me. His lips overwhelm me. His body engulfs me. Sweat Heavens. This man. He could be my everything.”
Looking forward to the 2nd book in the Daniel’s Family series.
I laughed and I cried at this. It’s heartbreaking but also shows how strong a woman can be in the face of adversity and how having the right man, can help you heal. I loved Arsen and his immediate understanding of who marina was. Loved seeing Sophie and Nico and their kids. Now on to reading about Kol because now I’m invested in the Daniels family.
Wow!! What can I say about this book?!! I went into this book blind as I haven’t read the series by Aurora Rose Reynolds, however I am a huge fan of KL Donn and she did not disappoint.
Marina is the sweetest thing and is struggling with such pain and sadness. Arsen is ready to find his HEA, when he sets eyes on Marina it looks like he may have found it. My days! This man is the epitome of an alpha male, that first growl and I was gone!
Marina can’t help but hold back, what will he do when he finds out her painful secret? But Arsen isn’t holding back, he knows what he wants and won’t stop until he gets it. KL’s alphas are protective, growly and unapologetic and I would not have them any other way!
Loved this book!!
This wasn’t just a boom, it was a punch to the heart!
Written under the Happily Ever After Alpha world of Aurora Rose Reynolds, KL Donn brings to us the story of Detective Arsen Daniels and kindergarten teacher Marina Parks.
Arsen, the eldest of three siblings, longs to have a family of his own. He meets Marina, a woman who believes she is broken after a devastating accident leads her doctors to tell her that she will never be able to bear children.
Fate, fickle-minded lady that she is, brings these two together, and the result is truly worthy of a KL Donn-Aurora Rose Reynolds collaboration!
Dear reader, if you haven’t read any of KL Donn’s stories, here is your chance to get acquainted with this lovely lady’s work. Short reads, long stories, stand-alones or series, if you are the type who is brave enough to read a wide variety of topics, I would encourage you to take a chance with her.
Or, if you are the type who seeks relief in a story, then please go ahead and read Arsen and Marina’s story, for theirs is one of hope, love, and of trusting that everything will be alright in the end.
LOVED LOVED LOVED THIS BOOK!!! It made me smile, it made me cry. I could feel the love pouring out of the book. Arsen and Marina have an amazing story. I am looking forward to reading more from K.L. Donn and from this series!
Marina Parks has kept herself in a safe bubble believing that she is unworthy of finding a man to take a chance with since she believes she is flawed. Arsen Daniels realizes he has been setup and is ready to leave the party when sees Marina. He knows she is the one instantly, now he needs to convince Marina that no matter what the shadows hide behind her eyes, he will be by her side and never leave.
I enjoyed this one quite a bit. Arsen is pure alpha male and I loved the way he handled Marina. Marina is great and I thought her troubles were genuine fears that were explained well. Great book.
I absolutely loved until Arsen…
Definitely a change of pace to the other books I have read so far by K.L.Donn and I’m definitely not saying that’s a bad thing I read this whole book in one sitting it made me want to crawl up with a nice hot chocolate and relax (instead I was sitting in the car waiting for my sons footy training to finish lol)
Until Arsen made me laugh cringe and cry it was so wonderfully written I think K.L.Donn has another hit on her hands and I can’t wait to meet the next book in this new series !
A must read of 2018 ….
By far, my favorite book in the Happily Ever Alpha Series. I just loved this book. I WANTED SO MUCH MORE! There is definitely a boom. And it’s a big one. I loved both MCs. And the last chapter that was from Jacobs pov (just take my heart and jar it because Jacob is now the owner) Great great book.
This is my first book my this author. I can’t wait to see what else KL Donn has out there for me to devour.
Wow, this book hits you right in the heart. I was engrossed in this story and didn’t even realize my daughter was asking me why I was crying. When I realized she was talking to me I told her that the wonderful book I was reading was making me cry. She was amazed when I told her that I was crying because I was sad at some points and I was crying at other times because it was so beautiful and made me happy. I read this book straight through and definitely recommend it as a must read for all the romance lovers out there.
Arsen and Marina are a match made in Kindle Heaven, their story was written perfectly and gave me all of the feels! Marina has been through so much in her short adult life and never saw herself getting her Happily Ever After. When one of her student’s parents invite her to an end of school party she never expected that to be the beginning of her story. Arsen is a homicide detective that was always to busy for a woman and figured that he was married to his work. But when his friend invited him to his son’s party he knew something was up. But when he lays eyes on Marina he knows that he can’t let her get away. There is a connection between these two that neither has ever felt. KL brought all of my emotions out in this one. I laughed at Marina’s quirkiness, and was pissed at Arsen for his jerkish reaction, and of course I cried several times. This is definitely one of my new favorite books and a definite must read and reread story. One Click this baby now you will not be disappointed.
Hot, engrossing, and left me completely sated and satisfied!! I look forward to more from these characters!! I thank the Author for providing a copy to review!!

Oh my dayz. This was a brilliant read and exactly what I needed. A really well written romantic novella to warm my heart.
Marina and Arsen are lovely characters and I really wanted everything to go well for them. It’s love at first sight but Marina feels as if she’s not good enough for Arsen. Can Arsen sow her how much he wants her?
I loved this quick read. Am looking forward to reading more from this author.
Until Arsen is one of my favorite books from the HEA Kindle Worlds! Love the name Arsen. Very unique. Marina is such a sweetheart and so strong. Arsen is wonderful with Marina. She’s the soft to his hard. They’re perfect.
