Another great read in the Until Series – I love the Mayson family… Anther book I will read again.
Cobi Mayson felt the boom his eyes settled on kidnapping victim Hadley Emerson. His family owes their gratitude to the woman who saved his cousin., but Cobi knows Hadley is going to the woman by his life for the rest of his life.
Hadley doesn’t really connect to people and when Cobi swoops in and inserts himself into her life, she is not sure she can take the chance. Cobi though is rock solid when it comes to Hadley and over time she comes to trust in him but when a threat against Hadley becomes apparent can Cobi be there in time.
Another terrific chapter in the Until series. Cobi is pure alpha and Trevor’s son. This is one of these books you pick up and don’t let go. Anxious for the next book, can’t wait.
Between Hadley’s complicated, tragic past and Cobi’s determination to protect and love her, her heart doesn’t stand a chance. She’s going to give him one helluva ride on the way, though. But before she can have the future she always dreamed of but never let herself hope for, she finds herself in a bit of trouble. There’s another enemy that threatens everything they’re building together and if they don’t find out who it is and how to stop them they might not have that future they’re longing for.
Hadley’s past was certainly a doozy. It colored her interactions with everyone and her ideas of what she could really have for herself. If it weren’t for her super pushy but incredibly loyal friend she’d be all alone in the world. I loved that she was a strong woman inside, though, and was determined to fight for those without a voice, to give them what she never had growing up. While I wasn’t a fan of her constant denial of what Cobi made her feel as well as her stubbornness that got in the way of common sense, I did think she was a good woman worth knowing. Her individual evolution was stunning, especially when we get to see her in the epilogue.
Cobi is a force, that’s for sure. I don’t feel comfortable with his high-handedness or invasion of space, but I do see that it worked for them. In real life, however, this would be highly suspect. His heart, though, made it clear that he was in it more than just for passion. The family he brought along with him was equally amusing and so full of warmth and love that I felt happy to get to know them all and could see where Cobi got all his attitude and caring from. He was a good match for Hadley and pushed her to believe and trust in more as well as gave her the softness she needed to feel strong on her own.
The drama seemed to be a flash in the pan right in the beginning but it wasn’t until the book was nearly over that there was an additional source for a bit of crazy. Throughout the story there were some hints about more and I was frustrated each time it was mentioned and then glossed over. That bothers me in pretty much any book that does that. The issue was a big one for Hadley’s profession and yet she didn’t really do much to figure out what was going on whenever it came up. Overall, though, it was the individual growth, warmth, and passion that carried the story and gave us a nearly perfect ending.
I just want to start off by saying I want to live where the Maysons live! I love this family so much! This is Cobi Mayson’s story and he is as wonderful as all those before him. The insta-love is a hit or miss for me, but Aurora Rose Reynolds always hit it out of the park with her stories. Cobi is just the type of alpha I love, so protective, possessive, bossy, and knew from the very beginning that Hadley was it for him. Hadley has a bit of baggage due to her horrible parents and does not trust very easily at all. But in typical Mayson fashion, Cobi does not let Hadley’s guarded walls stop him from going after her. When Hadley is placed in danger, Cobi’s protective instinct comes on full force.
I loved the Maysons for Hadley, she does not have many people she trusts or to call family, so to have them in her lives now was heartwarming to see. Like in many of the Until series books, there is not too much drama or angst but just the right amount filled with alpha goodness and so much love. 5-star read all the way. I can not wait for the next installment.
Until Cobi is a great story, filled with suspense, family, and love. Cobi and Hadley were so perfect for eachother. Hadley was so independent but I liked how Cobi made himself her protector. I loved getting a glimpse of past character/family members. Entertaining read!
4/5
Cobi and Hadley met in the most unexpected and poor circumstances, and he just know that he will do everything to have her in his life. Hadley, on the other hand, didn’t expect Cobi to come into rushing into her life. He was always there, especially when she needs him the most. No matter what the reasons that Hadley thinks they shouldn’t be together, Cobi finds a reason why they should be.
Cobi is one of the most alpha-male I have ever read. He’s a man through and through. He’s persuasive, determined and a bit pushy at times. But he means well. He’s the kind of guy who will make you feel like you are REALLY being taken good care of, that when he’s near, you will always be safe.
Hadley came from from a difficult past, but despite everything, she had manage to do okay on her own. I like her strength and courage to survive the past, hoping to let it go, and living the present. Only that her present got more complicated than usual when she got involve into something. And then there’s Cobi. She didn’t know what to feel about him – but what happens when her past goes into her present?
I enjoyed reading this book, the characters and everything in between. Until Cobi is one hot read that will sizzle your fantasies, and make you squirm all night long.
Another Until winner that I devoured and thoroughly enjoyed.
Cobi and Hadley were perfect together and since there was no ex causing drama the flow was good. Really enjoyed the secondary characters and having a few of the original Until characters appear was perfect.
Absolutely melted at the way Cobi taught her how real love and family were and the BOOM was sweet.
Wow I love the Mayson’s & I want to be a part of this family! Cobi is a over the top cave man that makes it extremely swoony! Hadley is so naive & sweet she is the perfect soft to Cobi’s hard. These 2 are such complimentary characters & their practical insta-love romance is cute, sassy & a page turner. I loved the way Cobi takes care of Hadley throughout. A beautiful romantic story. I recommend this book. Told in dual POV.

~~45 “CAPTIVATED BY COBI” STARS! ~~
“Since the moment she looked into my eyes…I knew she was mine.”
SQUEEEEE! I was so ready to feel the #BOOM…and boy oh boy did Aurora Rose Reynolds deliver with UNTIL COBI. This author can always be counted on to sweep me off my feet with her swoony Alpha males who fall instantly, OBSESSIVELY, in love with the beautiful damsels of their dreams, and holy moly am I floating on a cloud of pure BLISS right now!
THE STORY:
This book picks up right where UNTIL HARMONY left off, with Detective Cobi Mayson rushing to the scene of a crime involving his cousin Harmony and a beautiful good Samaritan named Hadley Emerson who put herself in the path of danger when she witnessed Harmony being kidnapped by a vengeful madman. Cobi was braced for any eventuality …EXCEPT for sweet Hadley collapsing in his arms after she sustained mild injuries during the ambush. Which, in true Mayson fashion, rouses his every possessive—protective—instinct. And for followers of this series, it is not hard to envision how the story plays out from there.
Yup…you guessed it: Cobi knows instinctively that this brave, scrappy and deeply caring social worker is something special, and although they come from completely different worlds, he pursues her with a vengeance. And Hadley is ultimately no match for a Mayson Man on a Mission of Love and it’s only a matter of time before they surrender to their crazy, hot attraction!! But when their newfound happiness is jeopardized by menacing new threats, Cobi vows to move heaven and earth to keep his beloved woman safe! Will true love persevere? Why…OF COURSE… but not without a little bit of exciting mayhem along the way!
MY MUSINGS:
I just LOVED this captivating third installment in the Until Him series!
Cobi and Hadley’s tenderhearted, red-hot romance just ENTHRALLED me from page one! Danger originally thrusts them together and I love how their relationship organically evolves from there. Cobi provides a strong shoulder for a rattled Hadley to lean on in the aftermath of the shootout, because he knows in his gut that she will need comfort and solace to chase away the haunting memories. Though, of course, at first she balks at the high-handed manner he steamrolls his way into her life… and eventually her heart!
Fact. There is just something about those uber dominant, endearingly overprotective and gloriously bossy Mayson men that always turns me into a pile of mush! And Cobi in all his big, tatted, GROWLY glory gives unique meaning to the word UNAPOLOGETIC ALPHA MALE! But as with all those Maysons who came before him, he has big heart of pure friggin’ gold and cherishes his Hadley so completely I could hardly STAND it! Plus, the dude is a badass detective, dedicated to serving and protecting his town as well as his woman so that just upped his hotness level in my book! Long story short? Cobi was JUST PURE FREAKING PERFECTION! I relished not only the way he wooed and watched over Hadley but also how he embraced everything about her, insecurities and all, never once batting an eye that her upbringing was drastically different than his own.
As far as heroines go, ARR’s sensitive, deeply nuanced depiction of Hadley really struck a chord! This former overweight nerd turned unassuming beauty is sweet and selfless, sassy and stubborn…and sure keeps Cobi on his toes! However, her upbringing was no bed of roses. Being raised by neglectful, drug addicted parents took its toll, and now with the debilitating PTSD that ails her from her recent ordeal, and the new threats that swirl overhead, she feels more vulnerable than ever. Which has this fiercely independent social worker feeling totally out of sorts!! Because while her past has miraculously not made her hard or jaded, and she always sees the good in others, she HAS been conditioned to soldier on alone. Yet despite her fierce outer bravado, she finds that even she’s no match for the inner war that’s roiling inside of her…or the sweet, overbearing alpha who is determined to be her anchor in the storm.
That said, Hadley has no clue what it’s like to be surrounded by a warm, loving clan like the Maysons and at first she is a bit overwhelmed—and feels totally unworthy—of all the attention and unabashed adoration that a hopelessly besotted Cobi and his supportive family bestows on her. But, of course, her ruggedly sexy lawman is not about to let her inhibitions get in his way!
Gah…these two just OOZE chemistry and you can feel not only the steam rising from your Kindle but the soul-deep connection that tethers their hearts together as one. And while there is definitely some push-pull to keep the tension flowing, there was not a ton of OTT angst or any silly misunderstandings to keep our darling duo apart (thank gawd). Ultimately the true-blue love that develops between this couple was just so real and genuine it melted my heart and I simply could not get ENOUGH of them!
As with all the books in this long-running series, this book can be read as a standalone but you will get so much more out of it if you have read the prior books in the Until Him and Until Her series to glean insight into the rich family history, the fantastic cast of continuing characters and to better understand some of the overlapping storylines that sets the stage for each subsequent book. The bonds of love and loyalty that unites the Maysons together is just beyond extraordinary, and I also adored Hadley’s zany bff Brie and her hulky auto mechanic boyfriend Kenyon!!!
Ultimately, UNTIL COBI has the perfect blend of breathtaking romance, sizzling hot interludes, poignant emotion and pulse-pounding drama, with a dash of edge of your seat suspense to up the stakes for our beloved couple. I truly got all the feels from start to finish and even shed a tear or two. (Especially during that achingly sweet extended epilogue! Sighh…I flove when we get those delicious glimpses into the future!!)
BOTTOM LINE:
UNTIL COBI is an all-consuming romance that tugged at my heartstrings, set my panties aflame and left me completely and utterly enraptured ! This stellar installment set the bar incredibly high for the next book…but knowing ARR, she will undoubtedly blow us away with December’s story!
Until Cobi is a sweet delightful read that will have you dying for a hot Mason man in your life. Seriously I own every book in this series and they never ever disapotponty. Pure deliciousness in one grood read!!
Hadley doesn’t know what love feels like. But since Cobi came crashing into her life, she begins to question herself. Cobi being a Mayson knows his “BOOM” when he meets her. He just has to convince Hadley.
AH-FREAKIN-MAZING!!! Simply amazing! Full of suspense, passion, and full-blown love, Cobi and Hadley will have you utterly captivated! As always, I felt like I was part of the Mayson clan, living the journey along with them! Beautifully written, the story will tug at your heart and have you falling head over heels in love with these two! An absolute MUST READ!!! 5 stars!!
Wow! Just…..Wow! Cobi just shot straight to the top of my book boyfriend list! All of his hunky, dirty talking hotness was the perfect balm for Hadley and for us readers…….wow! A definite read again!
I am blown away with the author’s story telling abilities. She has a way to tell a very traumatic story with the perfect amount of wit and finesse that makes you and the characters laugh while you cry and cringe in the face of danger. A thoroughly suspenseful and steamy read!! I didn’t want it to end! Hoping for December’s story!!
I read an ARC of this book. My fair and honest review is voluntary.
“I wonder if he knows he’s ruined me forever.”
Until Cobi by Aurora Rose Reynolds was one hot ALPHALICIOUS romance! Get ready to sigh, blush, and smile for days after you devour this absolute GEM of a love story. With an ALPHA hero that is so damn easy to love and a sweet, but sassy heroine that isn’t going down the love train without a fight…this is one scorching hot couple that you will root for from beginning to end. Ms. Reynolds gives us a ‘BOOM’ that we will never forget with her signature sexy and unputdownable writing style. These characters…this whole family dynamic will steal a place in your heart, for sure! A blazing HOT romance with tons of dirty talk, alpha shenanigans, and a dash of suspense…you can’t go wrong with an ARR Romance. You just can’t!
The BOOM strikes again. I absolutely love this series, and by series I mean ALL of the Until books. This family is so great; the characters are so well written and developed. The plots are thought out, detailed and never ever boring.
Cobi and Hadley meet when she tries to help his cousin Harmony out of a situation. Cobi is instantly hit with the BOOM and his protective nature kicks right in. Cobi’s protective instincts kick into high gear with Hadley and just like all the other Mayson’s he has her moving right into his home as fast as he can. Once she is there she isn’t ever leaving.
Hadley didn’t have it good growing up so she decided to become something to help those who can’t help themselves, she became a social worker. That job is rough and can lead to some pretty intense situations with her clients. Hadley has a heart of gold and a soul that is pure. She has seen some of the worse but it hasn’t made her jaded. She fits in perfectly with the Mayson clan.
You can never go wrong with an Aurora Rose Reynolds book, especially when it is part of the Until family of books. I look forward to these books every time and they never disappoint.
I devoured this book! It started off with Cobi Mayson showing his uber protective instincts when it comes to Hadley. Totally started off right in my opinion and Cobi definitely fits into the male scheme that goes with this series. He makes sure that he is involved in Hadley’s life, even when her insecurities start to rise.
But what I really liked about Cobi, other than the alpha male uberness, was just how freaking sweet he was with her. I love the hard and soft sides of heroes in books and Cobi definitely hit all of my happy hero triggers.
Now, I wasn’t too sure of Hadley to begin with. I thought she might have been a little too timid for someone like Cobi, but I was definitely wrong in my thinking. These two characters really definitely fit together like the perfect puzzle pieces and made their connection even stronger.
This book hit all of my happy triggers as a reader … there was some suspense, danger, passion, and growth of the characters. The secondary characters definitely played a huge part in this book, sometimes even making with laugh out loud (which BTW doesn’t work well at work) with some of their antics and comments.
Overall, I totally enjoyed UNTIL COBI and think that it fits in perfectly with the Until Him/Her series with perfection! This is definitely something that readers will totally and ultimately enjoy … just in my opinion. Happy reading!!
Even though Cobi Mayson’s BOOM happens at a rather unorthodox location, it’s more than clear that he’s found his girl, which means that Hadley Emerson is in for quite the courting because anyone who knows about these Mayson boys understands what happens to them when they claim their woman and nothing and no one will stand in their way…not even the woman herself.
Cobi definitely epitomizes Reynolds alpha male personality; he’s a badass police officer who is all about protecting and serving, and while his growly, over protective and possessive demeanor may be a turn off for some women, there’s not a single thing about Cobi that doesn’t appeal to Hadley, even if she’s caught a bit off guard by his ability to be wherever she is in her time of need, knowing exactly what to say and do to make sure she’s taken care of, and slowly but surely, Cobi’s patience pays off and Hadley gives him exactly what he wants and needs – her.
But that doesn’t mean it’s smooth sailing for Cobi and Hadley; in fact, their professions, police officer and social worker respectively, come with constant threats and dangerous situations, so these two are going to have to be constantly on guard, making sure that they’re both protected and working to ensure that everything that’s building between them has every opportunity to last forever.
I’ve been a huge fan of the ‘BOOM’ ever since Aurora Rose Reynolds introduced readers to the concept in her 2013 release, Until November, and I continue to enjoy every single Until book that I’ve read, which is actually a pretty big deal for me as a romance reader because I don’t usually ‘buy’ into the whole insta-love/insta-lust dynamics, but the way that Reynolds’ crafts her stories allows me to feel the pull her heroes and heroines feel and there’s just something about her feisty female leads and her alpha males that keep me anxiously anticipating the next BOOM!
4.5 Poison Apples
The Until series is really one of my favorite series to read. I’m always so happy when there’s a new book in this series and even though it’s an ista love it just doesn’t bother me. I loved the interaction between Cobi and Hadley and their banter so much. Think this really is one of my favorites of the until her/him series 🙂 I can’t wait to read the next one!
Cobi and Hadley meet in the most traumatic circumstances but there’s just something about her that draws him to her instantly. The more time they spend together, the more feelings start to show. And even though Hadley tries to keep her distance, Cobi won’t let her out of his sight. He’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe. Their relationship grows stronger every day and sometimes, due to her past, it scares Hadley but there’s just something between them that’s taking the walls between them down. But when something bad happens, they’ll do whatever it takes to get through it all…
I love AAR’s Until series. She always delivers a possessive, dominating Alpha male that compliments the sassy, sexy, female that I love. Her books draw me in and weave a beautiful story that has me not wanting to put the book down until its finished but yet not wanting the story to finish.
You have to love ARR’s BOOM!!
Not only do you get to meet new characters but you also get to see some of the old favourites that made you fall in love with this series in the first place Nico, Trevor and their better halves.
Cobi met Hadley traumatic circumstances when she stepped in to help his cousin Harmony that was kidnapped (you get her story in Until Harmony. One look and at her and Cobi is hit with the Mason men BOOM. He just needs to be there for her, be what she needs until she is ready to hear the truth about his feelings.
I so loved watching their relationship grow from strength to strength especially when Hadley lets those walls down she has built up around her.
I am looking forward to the next book in the series which looks like it could be December’s Book
Until Cobi was another fantastic installment in the Until Him series by the queen of Alpha heroes and creator of the Boom. Nobody writes sizzling hot, low-angst and entertaining insta love stories like Aurora Rose Reynolds. It’s her trademark and the reason why I’m completely addicted to her books. They are my favorite form of escape. I’m craving the feelings her books always leave me with – pure happiness and contentment. It’s so easy to connect with her endearing characters. The Mayson clan is my favorite book family. I swear I want to be a part of them in another life.
Those of you who have read Until Harmony have already been introduced to Hadley. She was the brave woman who followed the kidnapper’s car and alarmed the police of the abduction. I truly admired Hadley for this selfless act. That’s how she and Cobi meet since he is one of the police officers who are called to the crime scene. He feels drawn to her from the very beginning like a moth to a flame. Sweet and shy Hadley, who is a social worker by profession, awakens a strong protective instinct in him. Cobi knows that she needs him in order to feel safe, although she is too proud and stubborn to admit it. Hadley didn’t have an easy childhood with two useless parents who never cared for her and showed her love and affection. Her best friend Brie and her fiancée Kanyon are the only people in her life she can lean on – until Cobi Mayson shows up at her door demanding not only entrance into her home but also her heart. Strange and alarming things keep happening to Hadley making her question if the occurances are somehow connected? Can the man she is falling for keep her safe and sound?
I can’t emphasize enough how much I’ve loved the great chemistry between Hadley and Cobi. Their dialogues were so funny and full of banter. Although Cobi was sometimes very bossy and cocky he was also very understanding and kind. He was the perfect man for Hadley. One who will always stand by her side and support her. Hadley is such an admirable woman. She managed to make something out of her life despite her past. The reason why she chose her profession was to help children who went through the same as her.
Although she is a quiet and reserved woman she had a strong backbone. They both reminded me so much of Liz and Travor with their dynamics.
This beautiful story showed us that blood makes you related but not necessarily a family. Loyalty, respect and love are the pillars and foundation of a family. I have to applaud Aurora for conveying such an important and strong message.
I’ve savored every single chapter of this story because I never wanted it to end. As a die-hard fan of this series and author I’ve to say that this is one of my favorite Until books. I recommend it from the bottom of my avid reader’s heart. Aurora is going to put you under her magical spell and make you begging for your next Alpha fix. I’m therefore giving Until Cobi 5+ boombastic stars!
Oh wow! I just finished reading Until Cobi and have only words of praise for this masterpiece. I don’t know how she does it, but Aurora Rose Reynolds never ceases to amaze me with her talent. She is the unquestioned queen of insta-love stories and the mastermind behind the Boom. Her alphas are over the top protective and possessive of their love interest. They are hot, a little bossy and a lot of sweet. It’s impossible to not fall in love with them. Her heroines are sassy, funny and independent. They are no pushovers, thank God, and know how to give they guys a run for their money. This is the reason why I devour her books and hold them all close to my heart. They make me happy like nothing else does.
Cobi Mayson knows that Hadley is the one from the moment he lays his eyes on her for the very first time. Now convincing her to take a chance on him is going to be a challenge. But Cobi is nothing but determined and doesn’t take a no for an answer. After all, he knows that once the Boom strikes it stays and there is only one option: go for it.
Hadley Emerson knows she could fall hard and fast for a guy like Cobi. A honorable man who shows up every time she needs him. But handing her heart over scares her, because she has already been disappointed by the people who were supposed to love her. And besides that, how could Cobi Mason who is a cop fall for a girl who’s parents are addicts?
But a Mayson never gives up, so Cobi does everything in his power to tie their lives together and prove to Hadley that there is no safer place for her than in his arms. As things between them heat up, an unknown threat emerges threatening to destroy everything in it’s path, especially their happily ever after…
There are not enough words to describe how much I adore Cobi. This guy was sweet and super protective. I loved his bossy, dirty talking side too. He totally reminded me of his dad Trevor. I loved how he knew what he wanted and went for it without excuses. His chemistry with Hadley was freaking amazing! Cobi didn’t care who Hadley’s parents were. He only cared about her and what a wonderful and compassionate person she is. Through him and the entire Mayson clan, Hadley will feel loved and cared for, for the first time in her life.
“You belong to me don’t you?”
“Until the end, until one of us cease to exist we belong to each other.”
Until Cobi is without a doubt a great addition to the Until Series. It was a beautifully written love story with the right amount of sexy, sweet and funny. I even loved the suspense factor. It kept me on my toes, dreading when the cat will be out of the sack and what consequences it all will have on Cobi and Hadley’s relationship. Another great aspect of this book were the lovable side characters like Brie, Hadley’s best friend and her fiancé Kanyon. We also get cameos from almost the entire Mayson clan like Cobi’s parents Liz and Trevor and his cousins. And if that wasn’t already enough, Aurora also gives us a glimpse of the next future Boom: December and Gareth.
I could go on and on gushing about this book. It was pure perfection! I honestly don’t have one single tiny complaint about it. Thank you dear Aurora for putting so much love and effort into these books. Please never stop writing about the Boom! I’m putting this baby on my top favorite reads shelf! 5+ stars
