Bryson’s Steakhouse is the go-to place for the Mayson family to celebrate all their big occasions. As its owner, Mani has had a front row seat to the second generation of Maysons finding their boom. But he’s always on the outside looking in, and he doubts it’ll ever be his turn…until Vivian comes crashing into his life.Vivian doesn’t think she has a lot in common with Mani. He owns a fancy … fancy restaurant, and she’s having a hard time finding a job. She’s searching for a cheap place to rent, and he has a beautiful house. Fast food drive-throughs are more her style, and Mani is all about gourmet.
To Mani, these aren’t differences. They’re opportunities to give Vivian everything she deserves.

“The only world I’m interested in is the one with you in it.”
These two were a delight! Vivian and Mani both have faced some things in their past that made them weary of the future, but when Mani feels the boom he knows he can’t let that go. Vivian is hesitant because of her past, but Mani is persistent!
Once these two finally give into the boom, their love just blossoms. They find that each of them can compliment the other, not just in personality or attraction, but also in business! Watching them teach each other how to be their best version made my heart happy. Loving reading all these stories!
I loved Until Leo and was anxious to read this second book in the Autora Rose Reynolds world from Rochelle Paige. As always her book was amazing, and I was so in love with the characters. The boom between these two was sweet and sexy.
Mani was hit with the boom when he sees Vivi and nothing matters after that point. With his sweetness, and caring ways along with a heaping amount of good food he wins her over. I loved this book just as much as I did Until Leo. I recommend this book!
Until Mani gives us a boom like we expect when you are friends with the Mayson’s. This story will have you not only feeling the boom as Mani and Vivian lock eyes on each other, but the love, passion and possessiveness that come from that kind of connection. A quick steamy read that will have you swooning as Mani proves what he will do to show his love for his Boom
This was such a cute, short, insta-love read that while it incorporated a good part of the Until series, was also able to stand on it’s own. After some bad luck, Vivian moves in with her college bestie in an attempt to get back on her feet. Mani owns Bryson’s Steakhouse, a Mayson family favorite. When Vivian and Mani meet one night, sparks instantly fly and Mani refuses to let her go since he’s finally found his perfect someone, his BOOM. As their feelings develop quickly, a situation with Vivian’s past threatens everything they’ve built. Thankfully, this is a HEA that I really enjoyed and really my only complaint was that it was so short!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
5 ‘Chocoholic BOOM’ Stars
Oh my… Talking about sweet BOOMS… This is it, Until Mani is the most DELICIOUS little read, quite literally!
Vivian is starting new in town with the help of her best friend, after her previous life is basically turned to catastrophe. She just didn’t know that fate works in mysterious ways and changing her life and moving would mean she now will get her HEA.
One look at Vivi and Mani knows he’s been hit by the BOOM, now he just need to show her that she can be happy and get the happily ever after she never thought possible. It’s ALL in the seduction and he isn’t afraid to use any of the weapons in his arsenal to do it, specially after finding all about Vivi’s chocolate addiction… LOL 😉
With Vivi’s troubled past it’s not an easy task for Mani, because her walls aren’t so instantly broken, but that’s what made Until Mani so much more enticing: the SEDUCTION. I loved seeing and FEELING their insta attraction/connection, but even more witnessing the slow evolving – still fast paced with the time jumps – relationship, and how Mani showed her how much he loved her, and that she deserved to be happy.
Rochelle Paige gave us a truly captivating little read, PERFECT complement to Aurora Rose Reynolds’ Until world – SO good to see the Mayson gang, specially the wisdom of James Mayson, the original BOOM himself – which I LOVED every second of, but also making me crave Vivi’s best friend, Lyla’s very own story and how she got her own BOOM with Jayce. I need their story now!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
RochellePaige is the Queen of short stories. She has writing novella down like a pro.
Mani and Vivi come from the opposite sides of tbe track. When theh meet their Boom instantly goes up and the rest as we say is history.
Their story packs everything we love from steamy scenes to a bit of Suspence.
We even get my favourite guy Nico….
Enjoy this quicky its absolutely delicious….
Enjoyable from beginning to end. I have loved every single book in this set so far. This one is just as enjoyable as the others. Mani and Viv are two amazing characters. Instant heat between them. Instant chemistry. When you feel the boom you just know. Fast paced instant romance.
Until Mani is part Happily Ever Alpha World which is inspired by the Until Series by Aurora Rose Reynolds. If you haven’t read the Until Series, you’ll still be fine reading this one. Rochelle Paige is one of my one click authors but I haven’t read any from Aurora Rose Reynolds before and the story flowed just fine for me. It’s a short quick read. Mani owns Bryson’s Steakhouse and has seen many of the Mayson family find there boom. I loved the concept of finding your boom. Mani is sweet guy but doesn’t think he’ll ever find the love of his life until Vivian rolls into town. She’s down on her luck and trying to start over. They have this cute instant connection. She has a past she left behind but it has a way of creeping back up. It’s a short story with sweet character that had me hooked.
Bryson’s is a favorite place of the Mayson’s, great steaks and great drinks. Who knew that the Mayson’s BOOM would rub off on the owner of Bryson’s, Mani? One look at Vivi and it was all over for him.
Vivi has just moved to town to stay with her best friend Lyla. After some bad things happened to her in Florida which left in desperate need of a change, Tennessee is just what she needs. Now she just needs to find a job and get off Lyla’s couch. Luckily fate has a little more in store for her.
I loved Mani and Vivi’s story. It fit perfectly with the Happily Ever Alpha World. It was well written, with great characters and connected to the Until Series perfectly. It is filled with sweetness, an obsessive/possessive Alpha, a great heroine, a little trouble and of course the BOOM. This book is a great addition.
This book was steamy!
Mani and Vivian are HOT. Mani knows as soon as he sees Vivian, that she is his BOOM. Being around the Mayson’s and watching them all fall, Mani did not think it would happen for him.
Once look was all it took and he knew he found his forever.
Of course there was some drama thrown in to spice things up. I loved who the story played out.
BOOM!
The until series novellas we’ve been getting from our favorite author’s thanks to Aurora Raynolds has become one of the things that I look forward to every year. Rochelle Paige is one of my favorite authors and she did an amazing job like always with Until Many. I am so glad Rochelle Paige decided to give Mani his happily ever after. Mani is a restaurant owner who has made it his goal to make his restaurant successful and he has but he is missing something and he does not know what it is until he meets Vivi. As soon as he meets Vivi BOOM! he is a goner and will do anything to protect her and love her. Happily ever after guaranteed and super fun to read. I was Hooked from page one. I am looking forward to more from this spectacular author. Safety readers out there this book is safe, guaranteed happily ever after, no other OW/OM drama.
Love love love
4.5 Cranky Stars
If you have read the Until Series by Aurora Rose Reynolds, you might remember Mani but you should definitely remember finding your boom. That one person who just creates this explosion of feelings inside you and you just know that person is for you. This is the story of Mani and Vivian and their boom.
Mani has dedicated ten years of his life to his successful restaurant, but he hasn’t had time to seek out a relationship. He admires the Maysen clan and wants to find what he calls his boom. He doesn’t expect the beautiful Vivian to be it. He pursues her with a passion he has only dedicated to his work and he finds himself falling quickly. Vivian is on the run. She lost her job, her apartment and sold her car and headed to Tennessee to live with Lyla. She knows her life is ruined thanks to a rumor that landed her on a disgruntled wife’s radar. When she walks into Brysons and see Mani she knows she isn’t good enough. He offers her everything she could imagine and when the past shows up at her door she knows life is short and Mani is the one.
I’ve read lots of books where characters show up in other books like a cameo but I’ve never read anything like this. These authors are taking these minor characters in the Until Series and giving them life. Mani is very goal oriented but he’s fierce and has a huge heart. Vivi thinks she’s damaged but she proves to herself that maybe she is good enough. I liked the chemistry between these two it was off the charts. These are quick reads and I think it has something for everyone! Interesting book concept.
