Clarity is running with her children from her abusive husband. She had tried going the legal route but he was a cop and her pleas fell to deaf ears. Now she is in Tennessee and has been spotted by a cop and is fearful of what she might find but she ends up finding the man who intends to win her heart.
This was a fun quickie. I wish it had been a bit longer and you had been able to see these two characters develop more though.
Prior to reading Until Tennessee, I had read Until Sunrise by Sarah O’Rourke, so my experience with this author is her writing in the Happily Ever Alpha World. And I very much enjoyed reading Until Tennessee!
I really felt the BOOM between Marek and Clarity. And I really loved those kids!
I look forward to finding more books by Sarah O’Rourke to read!
A fun, sweet and heartwarming quick read. You will fall in love with the characters. I loved the connection and banter. It’s an entertaining read and great addition to this series.
Short but sweet…
I loved this short but sweet read! Clarity was on the run but that didn’t mean she was careless or rash. She was steady and firm, understanding what she had to do to keep her kids safe. When Marek came into her world, she was not looking for a knight in shining armor. But she got one…
This author knows how to write about love and all its nuances. This wasn’t a romance just between Marek and Clarity. No, it was a love story about family. Humor and patience went a long way to get them through some horrible situations and love… Well, that was in every interaction between Clarity and her kids and then Marek as he was brought into the fold.
Loved it!
*4.5 Boom Stars*
Clarity gave up everything to escape her abusive husband before he could hurt her kids as much as he was hurting her…but since he was a police officer, she had to be extra careful. She makes her way to Tennessee…she is having one of THOSE days…we have all had them, when her car quits in a busy intersection. Marek is just getting off of his shift as a detective and is the closest to help…and with all of the books with this theme..BOOM! He knows she is it for him. But he has to tread lightly, because Clarity is obviously cautious with her kids and her heart. Marek is a perfect caring Alpha. Great novella that ties everything up leaving the reader satisfied.
I forgot how much emotion Sarah O’Rourke writes with, these two always pull all my heartstrings. At one point I had tears streaming down my face, because they always nail it. The very real issues they write about are always dead on and they totally nail it every time. They always hit close to home and they always write it beautifully emotional.
Clarity is on the run, from her abusive husband, to protect her and her small children. She’s been on the run for about 6 months when her car stalls in a busy intersection and Marek stops to help out. Marek is a detective with my man Cobi and once he sees Clarity, he falls for her and her beautiful children. He falls into his role so naturally and with ease, like he was made for this family. This book will take you through so many emotions and feelings, worth every second. I absolutely loved it and could not put it down.
This book was safe for me. I say this because even though she was married when they met, when a husband puts his hands on his wife and very small children….he is null and void in my world. Don’t care, he caused so much pain and fear, Clarity really stepped up and made hard choices, but vital ones to protect her family. Her daughter will forever have my heart, along with this book. So for me…it’s safe. We get a few years look into the future and a very deserving hea.
Back in one of my favorite “worlds”, the Until series, and part of the Boom spinoff, Sarah O’Roarke does justice with her Until book of Until Tennessee. Clarity is running from an abusive Police husband, and lands in Tennessee where she is trying to start over with 2 small children, and staying under the radar. Marek is a detective who’s partner is Cobi Mayson, part of the famous Mayson family, and who we met in Until Cobi in this series. The story takes you on a journey of their romance, and makes it a part of the the wonderful Until Series world. Quick heartwarming, emotional read. I actually think Addison was my favorite character. When she gets “older” she needs a story of her own!
I adored this spin on several of my favorite tropes. Throw in a devoted and uber-protective mother, charmingly cute kids, a man who recognizes what he found and works to protect and keep them safe, little bit of drama and a whole lot of feels and you got a winner!
I loved the grit Clarity had in surviving her struggles and doing whatever it takes to take care of her babies. I loved how even though Marek felt the boom right away, he had the patience to see things through to the end and get his reward.
This is a fun, easy read that I didn’t want to put down once I started.
Awesome short story about finding true love.
