Until July (Until Her Book 1)

The story of the Mayson Clan continues with the second generation, all those girls and boys we met as toddlers and newborns are all grown up. The book has the same quality of the original Until series, but it somehow is unique and has its own merits. Wes is a bit more Alpha than the original guys, but July is tough enough to put up with his alpha ways. I laughed I might have thrown a few bad words at Wes at times, but he always redeemed himself so all in all another great Until story.

I've read Aurora Rose Reynolds books before. I've actually read the complete Until series. And I did this even though I knew what to expect in each and every book: overbearing alpha-male and helpless girl, insta-love, hot sex and babies. That's how predictable those books were. But hey, I still found them entertaining and even though the predictability and reality factor weren't really there, I still found them OK.

And so when Until July was released I was like: ok, let's give this a go - at least I'll have a good time reading it. But wow. This book was outrageously bad. I was so ready to file a Did Not Finish on that one but somehow I thought maybe it would get better toward the end. But it didn't.

I'm not even sure I can review this book properly so I'll just make a list of the stuff that just didn't work for me.

1) The ridiculous storyline: the two main characters meet because she wants to rescue an injured bird while on her motorbike, and almost veers into his motorbike. Oh and turns out "biker-girl" July was never again seen on a bike once the opening scene was over.

2) The drama: Did I mention that this storyline is full of drama? Drug dealers, dog fights, biker fights, kidnapping. Ugh. Can we just deal with one subject properly and be done with it?

2) The overbearing alpha-male: sure, we all love the alpha-male type. But I'll just draw a line at a guy that ignores you on the first date, that treats you like his property, somehow gets the keys to your appartment within a couple of days of knowing you and what not. Oh - and this is also the portrait of a guy who is exceedingly jealous when his "woman" talks to anyone with a penis that is not him (although he is used to sharing his women) - do you get the irony? This also brings me to...

3) The lack of chemistry between the MCs: well, there might be sexual chemistry between the two of them, but really - that's all it amounts to. I wouldn't want to share my bed let alone bodily fluids with the main character in this story. There's really nothing that made the main character "sweet".

4) The absolutely horrendous writing - full of typos and grammatical errors. Really put a damper on an already awful reading experience. See for yourself:

"Do you understand the guys that this kid and his father are involved with drug women until they have no idea what their doing and put them on the street"
"This seemed like something bigger then I could ever understand."
"Whatever happens out there doesn't effect what we have."

5) The icing on the cake: side-character 1 (biker) and side-character 2 (stupid co-worker) announce they are pregnant within 2 weeks or so of knowing each other. What? Was this detail necessary? Dear Author - can you imagine that there might be young readers out there who read this sh-t and might believe that this is common practice? Is this really a good example?

So sorry if I am the only one that's not in love with this book, but to me, Until July just wasn't worthy of my time. The whole. damn. book needs improvement, or just shouldn't have been released. Dear authors out there, please think before you release. Or review what you wrote. Or at least get yourself an editor. Don't just chase after the next release because you feel compelled to.

Wes and July. Wow just wow!! I love when authors give us an inside view of when the kids grow up. July loves her bike, her clinic, her animals and her family. She has always dreamed of having. Love like her parents. Wes loves his , his club ,his mom and his . He never thought he would find that love, let alone keep it.
When this 2 find each other it's like magic except more raw and passionate. Loved the possessive side on Wes and the sexiness and . Another great read.

I absolutely can't get enough of these books ...this whole family has captured my heart ... July is such an amazing young women ... And in the tradition of these books ...Wes is all alpha male.... Love this story ...these are standalones reads....but there was great "set-up" for the next few books in this one ...One-clicking now ...Recommended Read!!!

Here the deal, there are inconsistencies within this story mostly the age of this generation. If you are a fan of this author and her previous books you will be able to overlook these issues. I loved this story! July is a great girl, she is down to earth has a huge heart and loves her family. Wes is almost every girls dream, he is sexy, strong, has a good heart and did I mention the way he talks...yummy, Love a bad boy with a dirty mouth! Looking forward to Jax's story.

This book is another Five star book from Auroras Rose Reynolds. She is a very talented and writes the swooning alpha male characters very well, and she always delivers nicely on the Happily Ever After's. July and Wes had the firecracker chemistry from the moment the met, which felt like something out of Sons Of Anarchy. I also really enjoyed Z and July's best friends story, I thought they were cute together. Ellie and Jax will be good together as well! Kudos to Aurora!

I love Aurora!! She writes great insta love stories. Until July is a great book. I really like that in this book when you are reading about July you get this sense that she is a person. She has these moments of sweet and lovable moments like her mom. Then she is stubborn and hard headed like her dad. (Mom and dad are Asher and November in Until November) Wes is......yummy. I have a high standard when is comes to Bikers since reading Kristen Ashley Motorcycle Man and Aurora has giving me another biker who could hold his own. Wes is .....Wes. He is strong, went after what he wants. Came back after he made mistakes and fix them. He is also a strong enough man to have a strong willed woman and not dampen July's character.
When reading reviews I like to know a couple things:
HEA: Yes she even throws in couple extra chapters so it's HEAAA.
Cheating:None that is a deal breaker for me.
Stand Alone: Yes it is, but I highly recommend reading her other books first!!!!
1: Until November
2: Until Trevor
3: Until Lily
4: Until Nico.... Gotta love a bad boy with tattoos.
5: Second Chance Holiday

Wes is the opposite of the guys July usually goes for. Ignoring the feeling she gets when she's around him would be a regret she would have for the rest of her life. She is the perfect match to his alpha maleness. The ending was even better,melted my heart.

Until July was perfect! It's a wonderful start to the Until Her series, a continuation and spin-off of the Until series where we fell in love with four brothers. Now we get to see more from their families and see what their children are like. Which is really a lot like them. :) July and Wes' story was intense and passionate. I found myself grinning and laughing out loud. And blushing furiously. I can't wait to read all about Jax and Ellie's fall!

Wow! Loved both Wes & July! Wes was the perfect alpha male. He was possessive, protective, sweet, & loved with all his heart. July was awesome! She was sweet, spunky, & hilarious! Plenty of laugh out loud & tender moments with these two. Couldn't put it down! Definite must read!

Having read the books about the fathers, I was eager to read July 's story and it didn't disappoint! Combining my love of MC's just iced the cake for me! July 's first meeting with Wes was hilarious, you fall in love with her immediately. Wes is an alpha male bowled over by love for the first time. The other Mayson's make appearances as an illegal dog fighting ring brings trouble to July. I can't wait for more!

This book is fantastic! There is such an amazing chemistry from the get go between July and Wes. And who isnt hot for a sexy, tatooed, MC, alpha male? YUM! Wes is so protective over July and she is very stubborn. I love to see how these stories continue! I also love the Epilogue at the end where it goes years into the future so you see how there HEA turns out! Great writing!

Aurora Rose Reynolds has done it again! I love how she has written about this family making you feel like you are one of them. Such emotions and strength allow her readers to really escape reality and long for that alpha male to make you feel safe and loved beyond anyone else! Thank you for writing these heart warming stories. You Rock!

Aurora Rose Reynolds never disappoints.. Until July was everything I wanted it to be and more..I love Wes. I also like how she let the new characters out just enough for us to fall in love with them and for us to be looking forward to seeing them in the other books..Ms Reynolds u are a very kick ass writer and I can not wait for Until Jax as well as all the other Maysons ???

I absolutely loved this book. I was a little hesitant to read it after seeing some less than stellar reviews but I don't know what the heck those people read because this book is amazing!!! If you've read the other books which are about July's parents and aunts and uncles, then you will absolutely love Until July. Great read. Can't wait for the next one!

Until July was highly anticipated, probably because I love the mayson men so much but July and Wes just didn't have the same 'spark' as the until series. I found my self skimming over parts of the book because it seemed like the story was dragging along. Also the timeline of the book was confusing, at one part of the book July says her and Wes haven been dating for three days and then in another part Wes and his friend z are talking about how z found out he got julys friend pregnant. But both couples started dating at the same time so I didn't know you could get pregnant and find out in three days? Also everything was rushed, moving in saying I love you all of it but the sex. Within three days they loved each other but still didn't have sex until half way thru the book. I really enjoy this author and her writing but something was just 'off' with this story to me. Especially because Wes was supposed to be in a Mc but he wasn't really. In any event I will be buying the other books in the series and I hope they have better time details.

So this book could have gone two ways, horrible and awesome. Thank god it went awesome. Asher and November's story is my favorite anyway so to have July's boom is fitting. Wes is a great counterpart to July's crazy. I'm happy to we get a whole other guys generation of Mayson's to fall in love with. Oh and I can not wait for June's story that is going to be epic.

Just as I expected, a wonderful read. A true love story, with enough steam to melt your panties. I love that the girls are strong and independent and the guys are hot as sin with a fierce protective streak. Such amazing bonds these characters have. A never ending love between them and for their family! A definite 5 star read.

I really enjoyed this book. Wes and July are perfect for each other. It was also getting to see Asher and November again. I enjoyed that the author touched on so many current issues such as dog fighting, and women being sold into slavery in not just third world countries. You will not regret picking up this book, it's a great red you won't want to put down.

This is another brilliant series from Aurora Rose Reynolds. These are some strong women their stories and the hot alpha males that love them. Talk about sexy once you start you will have to read them all. Can't wait for the new one! Enjoy!

OMG! Asher & November's baby has grown up and has one HOT man! I was worried I'd feel like a creeper reading about their baby girl but hell no... I didn't have any problems!☺️ Aurora has done it again! Hot, sexy, funny and emotional! Wes is my new BBF!?I laughed, cried & sighed many times! It was an amazing read! Look forward to more of your books!

I loved the maysons stories and am looking forward to the rest of the family. While I liked July's story, I felt there was something missing! There was passion. There was mystery. Alfa male ans sassy lady included, too. I just didn't feel the boom like the rest of these books! That being said, it wasn't a bad story, just left me wanting more!

Another amazing book in the Until series, I have loved all of these books this one included. How can you not fall in love with the men and women in these books, the leads are such strong characters that you can't help but relate to them.

I would recommend reading g any of the books in this series and I can't wait for the next book.

After finishing Until Nico, I've been dying to read a book on one of the Mayson girls.

Until July is based on Asher and November's oldest daughter. Wes is one hot alpha male biker. I really enjoyed their story. I loved seeing all the Mayson brothers and their grown up kiddos. Looking forward to more books about the Mayson family.

The Until series is one of my favourite reads and this book just continues the series I have come to know and love. Really enjoyed reading this story. It was HOT and a sweet romance. Wes and July, loved them together! You couldn't put the story down, you just had to keep on reading ;-) really can't wait to read the next one in this series.

The Until series is just awesome. I love everything about them. The men are hot alpha males and the women are strong and sassy. The dialogue between characters is funny and scorching hot. I can't get enough of them. I love how we are getting to hear the stories about the kids from the first books. I can't wait to find out what happens with the sisters and the cousins. Ms. Reynolds never disappoints.

Auroras Rose gives her readers and fans exactly what she hoped for. An escape from reality that has just the right touch of everything. I recently read a darker romance from another GREAT writer that I follow. Although the darker book wasn't the typical HEA, I was in need of something lighter. I got exactly that, thank you so much. I look forward to reading more of your stories.

First off this book was amazing. I love the original series and I hope this spin off goes on and on. I always struggle with this author, should I read it on release day or wait awhile. I never wait, and then I wish for her to be super human and put her next book out like 2 days later. That never happens either. Goes without saying can't wait for Jax's story!!

Aurora u have done it again! I am speechless beyond words! I did not even in my wildest dreams think one of Asher's girls would fall for a bad boy, a biker bad boy at that! I am left wanting so much more of July's story. And I can't wait for the rest of the kids stories. I would recommend this series to everyone!

It seems the further you get into this series, the more formulaic and shallow it gets. It had its moments though. I chuckled a few times and I liked the characters overall but nothing original here. The drama towards the end seemed forced like, "Ok, now it's obvious that July and Wes are going to have a HEA so let's thrown in a little-damsel-in-distress thing to wrap this puppy up in a bow and tease the next book..." I wasn't expecting anything too deep here but a more developed story would have made it more interesting.

Addition to the series! Both July and Wes are strong H/H; attractive, intelligent, funny, protective (yes, both) and interesting. I honestly believe this series just gets better and better; that is a feat in upon itself! Can't wait for Until Jax...Until June (Evan sounds fascinating).. And all the cousins and Eagles, too!

I loved where these stories started with Asher and November and I love where they are going with the kids now! July was a perfect character to start with and I enjoyed her strong personality. Wes was perfect for July and one of my favorite parts was when she described her perfect man. Can't wait for Until Jax!!

Love the sass (and authors, learn frim ARR in what strong heroines are like!). Love the love of family. Love that the others are included in this story. Love that Asher has not changed and has a mimic in Wes.

Cannot wait for Until Jax and other books from ARR's other series to continue.

Still love this whole family & being brought back to them through the kids, feels like coming home! July is the perfect mix of November & Asher!! You can't help but fall in love with Wes and his over the top alpha ways, you would think he was a Mayson!!! Now just waiting for Until Jax!!! Hurry up and write!!#

Awesome read. I love Sons of Anarchy and when you see it in a book you know it's gonna be hot. I loved Wes & July. Wes was total alpha & July was a strong character. The sex was burning up my kindle. I'm reading the next book since it's about Jax....

I Loved Wes and July immediately I started reading this book. This Author knows how to give her readers exactly what they need. Wes is an Alpha male to the core, and July is a no nonsense woman...their chemistry was awesome. I just loved every page. Thank you Aurora Rose Reynolds!! ?????❤️?

I have read her other "until books", so I thought I would try this one. I liked this one okay as well. They are nice stories, nothing that really gripes me and sucks me in. I am really hoping we get a June and Everett story!!!!! I think that would be awesome since she married him without her parents knowing and now he works for her cousin!

Oh this is the start of another awesome series that I just cannot wait to devour. I looooooved July and her fiery personality and I want Wes to come love at my house! It was great seeing Asher, November, Nico and crew as well.....the banter throughout this book is fantastic.

I have enjoyed every book in this series and this one was no different. Love Reynolds alpha males. Sexy and dominant in a good way. July found her boom with Wes and he fits right in with her Father and Uncles. Looking forward to reading about her sisters and cousins.

Loved it! This book brings back the characters from her other books and introduces us to new ones....who will hopefully get their own books. The book picks up with Asher and November's oldest daughter. We see her navigate through her own "boom" moment. This book will make you laugh and cry. 5 stars all the way!

I absolutely love this author and this family... It's starts with until November and now this spin off series is about the kids... This book could be read alone without reading the prior series but.... The other books are so good I would read the until series first!

Truly love how the story unfolds with each new book in the series its great to see how the families continue to grow. Aurora continues to amaze me with her fabulous writing ability. A definite must read can't wait for the next book I'm hooked on the Mason family!!!!
