Superb series.
SO LOVED this and I love Sofie and Trevor.
First of all TREVOR is everything!
And Kennedy Ryan has done an amazing. AMAZING! Character development with Sofie. I was mad at this character at the beginning of this series and ended up not only loving her but admiring and respecting her so much!
This book was so good. Trevor was perfection. We met Sofie’s character in the first books of this series, and we all hated her. She was mean to our heroine and devoid of any human decency. But geez. Kennedy redeemed her!!! I loved this story so much. This is the kind of writing I’ve grown to love by Kennedy. Such a deep story and such a pure love. Love love love.
I’ve followed The Bennetts series from the very beginning so it’s with great conviction I state Until I’m Yours is my absolute favorite of the series without question and who really knew after knowing what I knew coming into this story. This contemporary romance told from the alternating, first person points of view of both hero and heroine provides lush story telling so full of rich descriptors, metaphors, and connotations. With two characters unlikely to ever to find each other, a cat and mouse game ensues where both hero and heroine are the unchallenged predators embarking on the challenge of a lifetime. Until I’m Yours will make you laugh and cry, it breaks you apart and heals you all at once.
Kennedy Ryan masters the art of letting her readers in the secret without ever saying the secret aloud. It’s a beautiful thing to feel the dread, contempt, and longing for slivers of hope about a long-buried secret right along with the character but never fully know until said character is ready to reveal. It’s a certain magic of Ryan’s rich writing, how she draws you into the story twisting your preconceived notions and making you FEEL EVERYTHING from the very first word.
Kennedy Ryan can do no wrong. This final installment of The Bennett series is definitely the best of them and I love them all. Sofie and Trevor and their journeys are what sets it apart from the other three in the series.
Wow! I love Sofie so freaking much. I didn’t when I first met her because of her bitchy and selfish attitude. Of course Kennedy Ryan has a reason for Sofie’s behavior and it is an intense and emotional one. The growth and self discovery Sofie goes through are truly remarkable. She hides so much behind her appearance and it’s the only thing people connect with her when they hear her name. They have no idea what a sharp and intelligent woman she is but then again she doesn’t let anyone she that side of her.
Trevor sees right through her and sees HER. Sofie. He’s an extraordinary and very good man who knows right away, that Sofie’s is so much more than her good looks and what people calls her. A goddess. He brings out the real Sofie.
Their chemistry and friendship are phenomenal. I love the slowly build heat and development of the their relationship. I especially love how Sofie and Trevor connect through conversations and their intellect. It’s so deliciously written with sexy undertones.
The topics are once again a Kennedy Ryan special. They are sensitive but she handles them with care and knows how to make the characters bloom and gets her message and voice heard.
Until You’re Mine is a perfect conclusion to a wonderful series. Kennedy Ryan knows how to create some fierce, strong and lovable characters. That’s exactly what this series is about.
Friendship, family and most important of all love.

It’s purely a coincidence that I started reading this book the day before the 2nd anniversary of its publication date. I read the previous 3 books in 2015- they were actually the first books I had read of Ms. Ryan’s and they turned me into a life-long fan! Anyway, I think I needed this break in between those books and this one, to give Sofie a chance to stand on her own. She wasn’t the most likeable character to put it mildly, and I don’t know if I would have appreciated her story as much if I had read it any sooner. Until I’m Yours will take everything you thought you knew about Sofie Baston and turn it on its head.
While this book does relate to the 3 other books in the Bennett series it could definitely be read as a standalone.
Once again Ms. Ryan has blown me with her storytelling. Sofie’s story wasn’t an easy one, and it’s kind of crazy how relevant it is to what’s going on in the world today. It’ll open yours eye to a lot of things, and it’ll make you realize that people really do show us only what they want us to see. There’s so much more to people than what meets the eye and Sofie is a prime example of this. She’s rich, beautiful, and glamorous. On the surface you’d think she had it all, but you’d be wrong. Sofie is scarred. She’s been hurt. She has secrets that no one knows about. But she’s so strong and brave. You’ll be awed by her toughness, by her spirit, by her resilience. You’ll be firmly #TeamSofie by the end of this book.
I can’t end this review without mentioning Trevor Bishop! If I had major girl crush going on with Sofie, it was a total swoonfest with Trevor. I love a good guy hero and Trevor is such a good guy! I loved how he “saw” Sofie and didn’t let her hide or shy away from him. He got her, and don’t we all just want someone who gets us?!? There needs to be more Trevor Bishops in this world.
If you haven’t had a chance to pick up the Bennett series, what are you waiting for??? I can’t recommend all 4 of these books enough. The writing will captivate you, the characters will endear themselves to you, and you’ll never want the stories to end.
