I absolutely love the Until series! I've been patiently waiting for this book. Aurora did not disappoint. This is Ashlyn's book. I absolutely loved the characters and the plot. The twist and turns kept me pulled in until the end. I can't wait for Until Sage come out.

Again, beautiful story with funny moments. If I had a complaint, it would be how we found out who was the villain in this story. It was kind of random, but since I love this group of people, I didn't hold it against the author. Can't wait for the next book.
You Do Something To Me (The Sullivans) :: Happily Ever Alpha (Daniels Family Book 1) - Until Arsen :: Unconscious Hearts (Hearts of Vegas Book 1) :: Until Lilly: Until Lilly (Until Series Book 3) :: Fighting Temptation (Men Of Honor Book 1)

This story had several sub plots, that moved quickly with little detail. Dillon and Ashlyn finally get together, then one horrible thing after the other happens to Ashlyn, mostly due to Dillon's ex. Not my favorite book in the series still an enjoyable read.

I absolutely LOVED Dillon and his bossy ways with winning Ashlyn over. He wasn't taking no for an answer and wouldn't you know it was a perfect match. Reading about most of the characters was fun I love when they are part of the stories.

Dillon was a jerk! lol. But he loved Ashlyn fiercely. She changed him for the better too.
Knew that chick Isla was a nutty little fruit cake!
The epilogue was cute.
Can't wait for Sage and Kim's story, what did he do to her?!

Let me preface this by saying that I adore Aurora Rose Reynolds, and I absolutely adore the Until Series. I read the first six books in less than a week and I have eagerly anticipated the release of every book since then, Until Ashlyn included. But this book fell short for me. Waaaaay short. So short I've almost managed to convince myself that I must've accidentally purchased an unfinished/unedited copy of Until Ashlynn.
Until Ashlyn starts with the most amazing concept. Ashlynn, daughter of my favorite Until couple Cash and Lilly, wakes up in Las Vegas married to her boss, whom she nicknamed Dillon the Dick.
THIS IS GOLD!! This is amazing!!! I LOVE this idea! But I'm not joking, two page swipes later and I have no idea how it happened, or how anyone felt about it, and man I would've loved to read that. Knowing however that ARR's books tend to move quickly I told myself that this minor slip in story line and plot was obviously for a reason, and that things would surely continue on as normal. They did not.
It felt like ARR was trying to write this book, lost focus on the scene she was working on and decided to skip ahead to the next scene, without finishing the thought, the idea, or the scene at all. So many a wonderful plot point was wasted or skimmed over just to jump ahead to the next thought. It was heart breaking and disappointing.
Here's my advice. If you love Aurora Rose Reynolds's books, and you love the Until Series, buy the book and read it. Parts of it are incredibly reminiscent of old school ARR, and you will undoubtedly enjoy seeing your favorite characters over and over again. You will probably really love the story and the scenes and these two crazy characters falling in love, even though you will get frustrated when the story jumps forward without you.
If you haven't ever read an Aurora Rose Reynolds book, and you're stumbling upon this review please please please do not buy this book. Click on the "Suggest Reads" button, find the book Until November, and read that instead. Please don't let the distracted and unfinished story of Ashlynn and Dillon ruin how you view this beloved series. This is not normal ARR.

Perfect addition to the Until Series. This addition starts with a bang, we have seen the preview of the dynamic between Ashlyn and Dillon which continues but quickly morphs into the expected alpha male and strong female we know and love.

Everytime Aurora Rose Reynolds releases a book from her Until Series I do a happy dance.
Until Ashlyn is no different I simply devoured this book in hours. At 10% in I was hooked squealing, clappin my hands and talking to myself already absolutely floving the book.
When I need my Alpha fix Aurora delivers 100% every single time.
This starts off as a almost enemies to lovers a little bit adding that much more to the book. It had my heart racing instantly. Dillon the hot bossy arrogant man that is Ashlyn’s new boss.
I giggled constantly throughout this book and just couldn’t stop smiling. Ashlyn is a fiesty character as well and honestly I expected nothing less from one of the Mayson girls. Both Dillon and Ash being so terribly stubborn the battle of wits was completely entertaining.
The way they get together is completely insane and just entertaining as hell as they wake up married in Vegas. However it is behaviour that I have come to love and expect from an ARR alpha book. I was roaring with laughter while at the same time swooning of the Dillon and his outlandish ways.
My heart melted at times with Dillon towards Ash. There is a little bit of drama in these book and really who doesn't want some drama it's part of the reason I love to read book to be honest. It will have you a little on edge, may make you feel a little stabby towards a certain character in the book who threatens to break them apart.
I continue to flove this series and can't wait for more from it. Aurora Rose Reynolds has once again given me the "BOOM" that I have come to crave from her books.

The series continues with one of my favorite couples little girl. Ashlyn is all grown up and going through her own adventure with her sexy boss. It's a great book and we get to visit with past characters from the series.

I have been waiting for what feels like forever for this book to come out and now that it has, I feel complete haha.
I LOVE the Until series and love it even more so now that it's continued on the the kids, this one in particular is a favorite for me because Cash and Lilly are my favorite and I fell in love with Jax and Ashlyn.
Ashlyn is such a fun loving, goofy woman and Dillion is more stern and reserved, from the moment she lays eyes on him she feels the pull between the two, only problem is, he's her new boss and he's also engaged to another woman. Ashlyn has no interest in being that girl, the one that comes between a relationship so she instantly hides her feelings for him which in turn makes her hate the guy and she feels like the feeling is mutual for Dillion. A trip to Vegas for a dental convention ends up with them being married and Dillion refusing to end the marriage, because he's actually been in love with her from the moment he set eyes on her. I don't want to say too much else cause I don't want to give anything else away, but this story was absolutely wonderful, it was funny, sexy, hot as hell and also suspenseful. Aurora Rose Reynolds has a wonderful ability to make her characters so relatable that you almost forget your reading a story, I wish I could give this more then 5 stars and I can't wait to see what she has in store for us next.

Warning: spoilers abound.
Until Ashlyn was not good. Not good at all. In fact, it underwhelmed me on every level. It read like it was partially thought-out, or, more to the point, a very rough first draft. The author tried to emulate Kristen Ashley a bit too much, and was unsuccessful in this attempt. The writing was unremarkable at best. The characters weren’t fleshed out, there was very little backstory, and plot holes and inconsistencies ran rampant. I wasn’t expecting a masterpiece, but I was still underwhelmed with the quality. The book was chock-full of editing issues, and that, coupled with the one-dimensional characters, shoddy plot, and wonky timeline, made for a confusing read at times.
That being said, Aurora Rose Reynolds should fire her editor. I don’t know if the person she hired is a friend, relative, someone offering their service at a discounted price, or what have you, but whoever it is should reevaluate his or her profession. I mean, come on. It seems like whoever edited this got lazy as the book wore on—though that certainly doesn’t explain the numerous errors in just the prologue alone.
There were grammatical issues, spelling and punctuation errors, and missing commas and run-on sentences galore. It was distracting, to say the least, because I kept correcting the sentences as I was reading. Of course, one could try to argue that this is no fault of the author’s. Except it is—especially when you consider the fact that she has more than a dozen books under her belt, all of which are poorly edited. Even doing something as simple as spell check would have helped to improve the overall quality of this book. Those blue and red lines aren’t there for decoration.
Also, continuity errors and the author’s inattention to detail certainly didn’t help matters. For instance, there was one spot where Dillon’s driver brings their bags inside, only for Dillon to rush outside to collect the very same bags that had already been brought inside.
All right, moving on, then.
Until Ashlyn opens with a promising prologue—the first meeting between the two main characters, Ashlyn Mayson and Dillon Keck. Unfortunately, by the next chapter, everything goes downhill. Ashlyn and Dillon already have what seems like a complicated history, but the author doesn’t bother to fill in the missing gaps. Ashlyn wakes up in her hotel room, naked, and in bed with an equally naked Dillon. Not only is she naked, but there’s a gold band affixed to her all-important ring finger, a ring that wasn’t there the day before.
Where is the backstory here? There was no lead-up to this all-important scene. In fact, most of the integral scenes happened off-page, or took place before the story even began. Each book in this series is a standalone, but it’s as if the author is writing these stories with the assumption that everyone has read the previous books, and therefore should automatically know the characters, without bothering so much as to flesh them out or expand upon their story. Things would just sort of happen, but so little attention was giving during these scenes that it was more than a little confusing when trying to keep up.
How much time has passed from their initial first meeting until now? We know Dillon is Ashlyn’s boss, but how long has she been working for him? As mentioned later on in the story, Ashlyn is a recent graduate, but what is her actual degree? She works in a dental office, yes, but what is her job title? Is she a dental assistant or a dental hygienist? Perhaps she’s the receptionist? I ask because, once again, details aren’t given. She wears pencil skirts and heels to work, for crying out loud, so you can see the conundrum I have here.
How old are these characters? I don’t think Ashlyn's old enough to have earned her DDS, and quite frankly, she doesn’t seem all that bright. Yet there’s talk about her wanting to open her own clinic one day.
I guess any special snowflake can just open a clinic of some kind. You know, like how July has her own pet clinic.
Anyway, once Ashlyn realizes she’s now a married woman, she freaks out. She wants a divorce, or better yet, an annulment. Dillon is having none of it, puts his foot down, and insists they’re staying married.
Once back in Tennessee, they carry on as if they’ve been in a relationship this entire time, which they haven’t. Ashlyn is still under the impression that Dillon has a fiancé—or had, until he married her. Dillon is more than willing to divulge the details of his relationship with Isla, his so-called fiancé, but Ashlyn would rather bury her head in the sand. Way to be an adult there, girl.
As it turns out, Isla and Dillon were childhood friends. Her parents took in Dillon and his brother when their parents died. Somewhere along the line, Isla developed feelings for Dillon and decided to tell him she was gay, lest she drive him away, as he didn’t feel that way about her. Or so we're told. And for some asinine reason, Dillon went along with the ruse, assuming that Isla wasn’t ready to come out to her parents. At least, this is the explanation he gives to Ashlyn.
The only reason Dillon told Ashlyn that Isla was gay was because Ashlyn, fed up with Isla’s games, wanted to clue her husband in on the fact that Isla was in love with him. He adamantly denied this, of course, brushing off Ashlyn’s hurt feelings by saying that he only went along with it so as not to hurt Isla’s parents—the same people he bad-mouths later on in the story, as if they mean nothing to him. According to Dillon, moving to Tennessee afforded him an opportunity to put an end to the farce of his engagement. Except for the pesky little detail that Isla apparently moved with him. She stayed in another room, mind you, but still. Yet, interestingly enough, when Dillon’s brother comes to town for a visit, Dillon has no problem admitting to him that he knew Isla was in love with him the whole time.
How long were they fake-engaged? How long was Isla still living in Tennessee, pretending to be Dillon’s fiancé, after he met Ashlyn? Isla’s parents, who lived out of state, were apparently all for Isla and Dillon’s relationship. They were none too pleased to learn that Dillon had married someone other than their daughter. Of course, the particulars surrounding Dillon and Isla’s relationship, and their subsequent breakup, happened off-page, forcing us to fill in the blanks.
Despite all of the crazy antics, the book, as a whole, was pretty lackluster. Plot points weren’t developed or explored, and major events were glossed over. Like, say, when Ashlyn got kidnapped toward the end of the book. She went to sleep curled up next to her husband, only to wake up tied to a chair in an unfamiliar place. A few paragraphs later, she escaped and woke up in the hospital, where the story picked up from Dillon’s point of view.
This is the epitome of lazy writing, people. Seriously. Show me, don’t tell me.
Overall, Until Ashlyn was choppy, disjointed, and very threadbare, as evidenced by all the gratuitous sex scenes that were used to fill the pages. Don’t even get me started on the fact that the hero was supposedly a virgin, a fact that didn’t seem consistent with the other aspects of his over-the-top, alpha male persona. The book was boring, predictable, and the so-called suspense was so unsatisfying as to not even be worth mentioning. Needless to say, I wasn’t all that impressed with this one.

The series continues with one of my favorite couples little girl. Ashlyn is all grown up and going through her own adventure with her sexy boss. It's a great book and we get to visit with past characters from the series.

I have been waiting for what feels like forever for this book to come out and now that it has, I feel complete haha.
I LOVE the Until series and love it even more so now that it's continued on the the kids, this one in particular is a favorite for me because Cash and Lilly are my favorite and I fell in love with Jax and Ashlyn.
Ashlyn is such a fun loving, goofy woman and Dillion is more stern and reserved, from the moment she lays eyes on him she feels the pull between the two, only problem is, he's her new boss and he's also engaged to another woman. Ashlyn has no interest in being that girl, the one that comes between a relationship so she instantly hides her feelings for him which in turn makes her hate the guy and she feels like the feeling is mutual for Dillion. A trip to Vegas for a dental convention ends up with them being married and Dillion refusing to end the marriage, because he's actually been in love with her from the moment he set eyes on her. I don't want to say too much else cause I don't want to give anything else away, but this story was absolutely wonderful, it was funny, sexy, hot as hell and also suspenseful. Aurora Rose Reynolds has a wonderful ability to make her characters so relatable that you almost forget your reading a story, I wish I could give this more then 5 stars and I can't wait to see what she has in store for us next.

Warning: spoilers abound.
Until Ashlyn was not good. Not good at all. In fact, it underwhelmed me on every level. It read like it was partially thought-out, or, more to the point, a very rough first draft. The author tried to emulate Kristen Ashley a bit too much, and was unsuccessful in this attempt. The writing was unremarkable at best. The characters weren’t fleshed out, there was very little backstory, and plot holes and inconsistencies ran rampant. I wasn’t expecting a masterpiece, but I was still underwhelmed with the quality. The book was chock-full of editing issues, and that, coupled with the one-dimensional characters, shoddy plot, and wonky timeline, made for a confusing read at times.
That being said, Aurora Rose Reynolds should fire her editor. I don’t know if the person she hired is a friend, relative, someone offering their service at a discounted price, or what have you, but whoever it is should reevaluate his or her profession. I mean, come on. It seems like whoever edited this got lazy as the book wore on—though that certainly doesn’t explain the numerous errors in just the prologue alone.
There were grammatical issues, spelling and punctuation errors, and missing commas and run-on sentences galore. It was distracting, to say the least, because I kept correcting the sentences as I was reading. Of course, one could try to argue that this is no fault of the author’s. Except it is—especially when you consider the fact that she has more than a dozen books under her belt, all of which are poorly edited. Even doing something as simple as spell check would have helped to improve the overall quality of this book. Those blue and red lines aren’t there for decoration.
Also, continuity errors and the author’s inattention to detail certainly didn’t help matters. For instance, there was one spot where Dillon’s driver brings their bags inside, only for Dillon to rush outside to collect the very same bags that had already been brought inside.
All right, moving on, then.
Until Ashlyn opens with a promising prologue—the first meeting between the two main characters, Ashlyn Mayson and Dillon Keck. Unfortunately, by the next chapter, everything goes downhill. Ashlyn and Dillon already have what seems like a complicated history, but the author doesn’t bother to fill in the missing gaps. Ashlyn wakes up in her hotel room, naked, and in bed with an equally naked Dillon. Not only is she naked, but there’s a gold band affixed to her all-important ring finger, a ring that wasn’t there the day before.
Where is the backstory here? There was no lead-up to this all-important scene. In fact, most of the integral scenes happened off-page, or took place before the story even began. Each book in this series is a standalone, but it’s as if the author is writing these stories with the assumption that everyone has read the previous books, and therefore should automatically know the characters, without bothering so much as to flesh them out or expand upon their story. Things would just sort of happen, but so little attention was giving during these scenes that it was more than a little confusing when trying to keep up.
How much time has passed from their initial first meeting until now? We know Dillon is Ashlyn’s boss, but how long has she been working for him? As mentioned later on in the story, Ashlyn is a recent graduate, but what is her actual degree? She works in a dental office, yes, but what is her job title? Is she a dental assistant or a dental hygienist? Perhaps she’s the receptionist? I ask because, once again, details aren’t given. She wears pencil skirts and heels to work, for crying out loud, so you can see the conundrum I have here.
How old are these characters? I don’t think Ashlyn's old enough to have earned her DDS, and quite frankly, she doesn’t seem all that bright. Yet there’s talk about her wanting to open her own clinic one day.
I guess any special snowflake can just open a clinic of some kind. You know, like how July has her own pet clinic.
Anyway, once Ashlyn realizes she’s now a married woman, she freaks out. She wants a divorce, or better yet, an annulment. Dillon is having none of it, puts his foot down, and insists they’re staying married.
Once back in Tennessee, they carry on as if they’ve been in a relationship this entire time, which they haven’t. Ashlyn is still under the impression that Dillon has a fiancé—or had, until he married her. Dillon is more than willing to divulge the details of his relationship with Isla, his so-called fiancé, but Ashlyn would rather bury her head in the sand. Way to be an adult there, girl.
As it turns out, Isla and Dillon were childhood friends. Her parents took in Dillon and his brother when their parents died. Somewhere along the line, Isla developed feelings for Dillon and decided to tell him she was gay, lest she drive him away, as he didn’t feel that way about her. Or so we're told. And for some asinine reason, Dillon went along with the ruse, assuming that Isla wasn’t ready to come out to her parents. At least, this is the explanation he gives to Ashlyn.
The only reason Dillon told Ashlyn that Isla was gay was because Ashlyn, fed up with Isla’s games, wanted to clue her husband in on the fact that Isla was in love with him. He adamantly denied this, of course, brushing off Ashlyn’s hurt feelings by saying that he only went along with it so as not to hurt Isla’s parents—the same people he bad-mouths later on in the story, as if they mean nothing to him. According to Dillon, moving to Tennessee afforded him an opportunity to put an end to the farce of his engagement. Except for the pesky little detail that Isla apparently moved with him. She stayed in another room, mind you, but still. Yet, interestingly enough, when Dillon’s brother comes to town for a visit, Dillon has no problem admitting to him that he knew Isla was in love with him the whole time.
How long were they fake-engaged? How long was Isla still living in Tennessee, pretending to be Dillon’s fiancé, after he met Ashlyn? Isla’s parents, who lived out of state, were apparently all for Isla and Dillon’s relationship. They were none too pleased to learn that Dillon had married someone other than their daughter. Of course, the particulars surrounding Dillon and Isla’s relationship, and their subsequent breakup, happened off-page, forcing us to fill in the blanks.
Despite all of the crazy antics, the book, as a whole, was pretty lackluster. Plot points weren’t developed or explored, and major events were glossed over. Like, say, when Ashlyn got kidnapped toward the end of the book. She went to sleep curled up next to her husband, only to wake up tied to a chair in an unfamiliar place. A few paragraphs later, she escaped and woke up in the hospital, where the story picked up from Dillon’s point of view.
This is the epitome of lazy writing, people. Seriously. Show me, don’t tell me.
Overall, Until Ashlyn was choppy, disjointed, and very threadbare, as evidenced by all the gratuitous sex scenes that were used to fill the pages. Don’t even get me started on the fact that the hero was supposedly a virgin, a fact that didn’t seem consistent with the other aspects of his over-the-top, alpha male persona. The book was boring, predictable, and the so-called suspense was so unsatisfying as to not even be worth mentioning. Needless to say, I wasn’t all that impressed with this one.

Absolute loved this book Aurora has done it again and delivered her boom in her typical fashion and I can't wait to read more in the series.
The only disappointing thing I found with this book is that it is smaller than all previous books and it stands out in my collection other than that everything is good.
