Twyla Penn’s first few days at her new job were going pretty well- right up to the moment a man in a ski mask pulled a gun on her and tried to toss her into the backseat of his car. Luckily, the hot cop she’d seen in the bar earlier showed up and saved her.Jensen Reed never paid any attention to all the “boom” stuff his fellow officers talked about- until Twyla. With one look at the beautiful … beautiful blonde with the soft brown eyes, he knew they were meant for each other.
He protected her once. Now he wants it to be a lifelong job.

Such a quick but super amazing read! Twyla has been working this bar for three nights, that’s it three nights. The first two nights were ok, not bad even; the third night however is the night that changes her life forever. When a customer starts to get very handsy, off duty officer Jensen Reed steps in to help out, and gets hit with the boom. Now, nothing will stop him from protecting Twyla, and making her his. Hopefully Twyla will be on board for that.
This was a really good read! For something so short, it pulls you straight in with some action and danger. Then we get some really good naughty bits. I give this 5 stars.
At the Intersection of Protect and Serve…
When a protector and a server cross paths, sparks fly and insta-love expounds in Ella Fox’s contribution to the 2019 Happily Ever Alpha World. Twyla and Jensen’s story is a quick read at 76 pages filled with romance, passion, a swoon worthy protective hero, a sweet heroine ready to plant roots, and an HEA that proves fate has a hand in finding your “one”. The connections between the original Until Him Series from Aurora Rose Reynolds and the characters in Until Twyla as well as those from Ella Fox’s Until Mallory (2018 series) are prevalent throughout the well-written fast-paced book. Sizzling scenes and sweet moments are hallmarks of this wonderful short story. Jensen and Twyla get their HEA and readers get a story to treasure.
How can I not recommend a book that has a character named after me? And a doctor at that!
But seriously, Until Twyla is such a great, fast-paced story. It’s both sweet and sexy. I adored Jensen, the hot cop hero who comes to the heroine’s rescue.
4 Cranky Stars
Twyla grew up like a gypsy. Her parents were travel bloggers and they have led her all over. She had the need to put down roots and landed in Tennessee. She gets a job as a cocktail waitress and it’s a nightmare. One bad night she encounters a hot cop (her words not mine) and her life is forever changed.
Jensen is trained to serve and protect. He has dedicated his life to the force and is waiting for his boom. When he has a night out with the guys he spots a waitress in trouble. He feels this force pulling him to her and he steps in to help her. When he locks eyes with Twyla he knows she is his boom.
Twyla and Jensen are insta love. They’ve never known each other before their chance encounter. I like these Happily Ever Alpha stories. You get to briefly see Nico from the Until series in this one. I liked that Jensen was a take charge kind of guy almost a knight in shining armor with a naughty mouth. I liked that Twyla wasn’t all wishy washy and knew how to take care of herself. These are fun quick reads!
Twyla had a gypsy upbringing, but is yearning for roots. She has traveled the world with her parents, but when she decided she wanted to find a home, complete chance leads her to Tennessee. After settling down some, she begins a new job that is not what she expected it to be.
Jensen didn’t believe in the “Boom” that his work partners kept talking about. Until he spots Twyla on a night out with friends, that he didn’t even want to go on. One look is all it takes to change his mind! Turns out, he was at the right place, at the right time, to save Twyla from certain disaster.
This books is all about chance and happenstance! This is a sweet tale about a couple that might not have met or fallen in love, if the stars hadn’t lined up just right. This is a quick read, that goes from zero to twenty in no time flat! Twyla and Jensen are so sweet together, and I loved their story!
“Come home with me, babe. I’m going to take such good care of you, you’ll wonder how you ever survived without me.”
What do you get when you mix a damsel in distress with a hot cop? Wowza!! This one was insta-love at its best!! Romance, chivalry, suspense and danger were all wrapped up in this novella!!
Twyla Penn hates her job. She never should have taken this waitress job at this bar. Her boss is a jerk, and the rowdy bunch in her section are making her night miserable. When one of them gets a little too rough, the most beautiful stranger she’s ever seen comes to her rescue -not once, but twice in the same night. If not for him, she probably wouldn’t have seen tomorrow. Her cop in shining armor is everything she could ever dream of, and it seems he kind of likes her too. Some might say that they’re moving too fast. But to her, they’re moving at just the right speed -warp speed to the perfect future.
Jensen Reed is ready to throttle that guy if he doesn’t get his hands off her. Jensen noticed her right away, and stepped in when the drunk bar patron got a little too rough. Little did he know that he would have to save her again a few hours later when she’s attacked walking to her car. That’s it. He won’t let anything ever happen to her. He’ll find that creep and make him pay for hurting her. He was sworn to serve and protect and he’ll do everything in his power to protect her. She’s his and he’s’ never letting her go.
This couple is so sweet. Jensen is sexy, and totally alpha. Twyla is strong and brave and the perfect match for Jensen. I loved this one and I know you will too!!
Until Twyla by Ella Fox is the story of Jensen Reed and Twyla Penn. This book is part of the ‘Happily Ever Alpha World’ series which I haven’t been able to read in order so for me they are standalone books.
Jensen is a cop who is out with friends when he catches his eye on Twyla…then ‘Boom’. That ‘Boom’ that he has heard about when you meet the one you are to be with you feel a ‘Boom’. Now he is out to protect Twyla for the rest of their lives.
If like me you like the hot alpha male character out to protect the heroine then this book and series is for you. I loved those type of stories and cannot get enough of them…so my goal is to read all books that come out in that series.
Fast paced instant chemistry. Twyla is a waitress at a bar. Her comes to her rescue not once but twice. Then offers to take care of her. This is a short fast paced novel of instant chemistry. Enjoyable from beginning to end.
Jensen literally becomes Twyla’s knight in shining armor as he rescues her again and again on a disastrous night working her job as a waitress. The moment their eyes meet he knows he’s found his Boom. He now has to convince Twyla that they are destined to be together, all while trying to control his caveman thinking of making her his as soon as possible.
This was a great, insta-Boom read of a guy who didn’t believe in the Boom until our of the blue it happened to him, and a girl who keeps getting rescued by the same handsome stranger she strangely feels safe with. Loved seeing other characters from previous books make appearances. Looking forward to reading more Boom books!
So good for an instalove story! The only thing that would make it better is if it was full length so I can read more. I really enjoyed Jenson and Twyla. Even those this story was short, I didn’t feel like something was missing. It was a great amount of information to make the book good! Great Job!
“I laugh for two reasons. One, my girl has a sense of humor, even in dark times. And two, she just called me hot cop. That’s pretty much the best thing I’ve ever heard because it means she’s attracted to me.”
This world never disappoints. Every single story that brings me the boom just makes my heart more full <3 In this installment, Twyla hits a bit of bad luck, but meets Jensen, aka "hot cop." These two were adorable. I'm not usually a fan of insta-love, but there's something about this world that makes everything work out just right no matter the time frame.
This story is the perfect example of exactly the alpha males I expect to see in this world. Jensen knows Twyla is his and he does everything in his power to make sure that she is protected and involved in his life. So sweet and so cute.
Twyla works a job that has her hating her life but knows the money is there if she plays her cards just right. Until she is accosted while she is working with some douchebags who don’t know how to speak to a lady much less treat her right. After spilling some drinks and a guy standing up for her against said douchebags she wonders why she stays when the owner could care less what happens to the girls who work there.
After such a rough night there was one saving grace. There was a couple of guys there and one in particular that helped her out. She didn’t think she would see him again, but she was more than ready to go home and relax. She walks towards her car and then is attacked by someone with a gun. As she fights for her life she hears someone tell the person to drop the gun and back away from her. She doesn’t know who it is until finally she is able to look him in the eye. It’s the guy from the bar who helped her.
Jenson knew there was something special about Twyla as soon as he laid eyes on her. His buddies always said there was a boom once you meet the one your meant to be with. And they weren’t lying. Luckily he was at the right place at the right time to help Twyla when she needed him most. He just wasn’t expecting to fall in love so quickly.
I really enjoyed this story but was really hoping for more! I didn’t want this to end and when I got to the prologue I was really hoping there would be more of how things progressed but was a little let down. But that didn’t stop me from devouring this story!
Thank you so much to Ella Fox for the free review copy in exchange for my honest opinion!
4 Boom Stars
Twyla is having the worst night of her life. With her new job she has to wear heels and in the beginning it was fine, but being on your feet for hours serving drinks, not cool. And her boss is being a douche as well as some guys who came into the bar. One thing leads to another and she gets into an altercation with them and ends up being saved by a handsome stranger.
Jensen Reed is a cop out on for drinks with his fellow officers. And then it happens… The ‘Boom’. The thing his partner and fellow officer Nico Mayson has been telling him about. He didn’t think it would happen to him, but it did. And now the women he instantly fell for is in trouble and all he wants to do is protect her.
This one definitely packed a punch ladies. It was short, sweet, hot, steamy and it seriously will want you going back to where it all started with those hot alpha Maysons. It had some intense moments and a little bit of angst too! Cool addition to the Happily Ever Alpha World
Twyla Penn started a new job and it has been dismal thus far, the cherry on the top is being mugged by a man in a ski mask. Jensen Reed clocked Twyla and has not been able to take his eyes off her. When he rescues her he doesn’t plan to let her go. He always thought the BOOM was not for him but everything about Twyla is, can he keep her protected?
This was fun but would have liked it a bit longer. Sometimes these quickies are too rushed but overall I liked this story. Felt bad for Twyla, her boss was a jerk but really enjoyed Jensen. Entertaining read.
When Twyla and Jensen first saw each other, they experienced the “boom” love at first sight. Twyla was working as a waitress at a bar and Jensen is a cop who comes to Twyla’s rescue twice the night they first met. This is a quick read, sexy, drama and a hint of danger!
This was such a cute and quick story I wish it was longer or more of a full book! After living a gypsy lifestyle, Twyla has finally settled down and is starting to establish a life in a set town. She just started a new job after her original one had ended, and while there were some alarming signs, she was just looking to pay her bills. During her third shift, things get a little dicey when a group of guys get rowdy and her boss doesn’t even help. Thankfully, Jensen is there and saves the day. As the night progresses, Jensen feels some unease for leaving Twyla after he feels the BOOM affect, and sticks around. Good thing he does, because once her shift is over, Twyla finds herself in another situation where she needs help. This story is a total insta-love and I couldn’t get enough! Things progress really fast for the two, but overall I really enjoyed it.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
A super sexy, sweet, quick read that will have you believing in instalove and the Boom! Loved the story, and Twyla and Jensen. Overall, an enjoyable fast read.
This book was fast paced, sweet, fluffy with an Edge. Tw and Jensen have an instant connection…. from the moment he saves her, tw is his….
This book was really a good way to spend an Hour…
Enjoy!!!!
5 ‘ The Gift of the BOOM’ Stars
Awww… Ella Fox truly gives us the sweetest of BOOMS!
Until Twyla was such an amazing little read! Ms. Fox gave us everything in this small and beautifully wrapped package.
Talk about embracing fate, the BOOM! Jensen appeared in Twyla’s life exactly when she needed him the most. Poor Twyla had indeed been having the worst of luck, but it was all worth it, because with the bad came the good – or should I say great – in the form of her knight in shining armor, Jensen. Jensen Reed, like the true Alpha that he is, and as consequence of being on the Mayson fold, knows instantly how important Twyla is to him, and will fight with everything he has to show her what Fate had in store for them.
I absolutely adored this story! Ella Fox gave us a bit of everything in it: emotion, suspense and a LOT of love and passion (and even a couple of funny lighthearted moments). It was fantastic to see Nico and Leo, and specially John and Mallory – from Ella Fox’s first Happily Ever Alpha, Until Mallory – as well as meeting these new awesome secondary characters. Until Twyla fits in Aurora Rose Reynolds’ Until world to PERFECTION!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Until Twyla is a quick steamy read with a huge BOOM effect, just the way we like it in the Happily Ever Alpha World. Twyla and Jensen will steal your heart in a matter of seconds and their story will have you swooning right up to the very end.
