Until Willow (Until Him/Her, #12)
Aurora Rose Reynolds
Are you ready for another BOOM? Willow Mayson isn’t ready to just dive head first into love, or at least not with any of the men she’s dated. Then she shares a single unexpected kiss with a complete stranger. Clay Raven doesn’t want the strings of a woman tied to him in any way. His priorities are his family, his job, and finding the people responsible for helping to kill his sister. One kiss shouldn’t have the ability to change that. Even with the chemistry between them, Willow attempts to put distance between her and Clay but the guy is tenacious, until he’s not. For a guy who’s never put much effort into any woman, Clay learns quickly that he’s going to have to fight, chase, and manipulate his way into Willow's life if he wants to be a part of it. Then just when Willow begins to let her guard down her friend is murdered setting off a string of events that could change the course of their lives forever.

Nothing sucks more than when you don’t love a book by one of your favorite authors. I found Until Willow lackluster and even the Mayson family couldn’t save it. I don’t really know if I ever liked Willow and that’s where a lot of my issues with this book lie.
She came off as extremely flakey and a bit of a mess. She ran at the slightest hint of Clay making a move on her. Was this the same girl who said that she wanted someone who was all about her? I really didn’t understand her. Clay was cool for the majority of the book, but he did come out of pocket a few times. We all have pasts that shape us, but you can’t handle your fears with extreme actions like that.
Speaking of our main characters, I didn’t really feel the BOOM. I wanted to feel that booming attraction that we have with previous books and that was missing here. It was a relationship based on looks and lust. He didn’t even know about her siblings despite spending different scenes together.
If you are a reader of this series then you know the love interest is always getting kidnapped or in some kind of trouble. That part stayed true, however, it felt rushed and a bit left field. There wasn’t enough build up or clues to even piece together who the bad guy would be.
All in all, this one was a miss for me. I saw a post on Facebook that Clay’s brothers would be getting books, but if I’m being honest I’d be only interested in reading about Miles.
