The majority of the novel fixates on the blossoming romance between Jax and Ellie, but just when you think all is well and good, some major shit hits the fan. There is some added drama to the story-line, as Jax has a psycho ex-girlfriend. However, Jax manages to be so unbelievably sweet with Ellie’s daughter that you can’t help but love the guy. I love me some alpha male, although caveman alphas can sometimes be too much for me. He doesn’t de-flower her until well into the book, but he’s definitely claimed her for his own. That being said, he actually manages to take things somewhat slow with Ellie sexually.

So what does it mean to be the BOOM of a male Mayson? Basically, Jax is all kind of alpha caveman when it comes to Ellie. What Jax doesn’t realize at first is that Ellie’s daughter is actually the child of her brother who died in a car accident. He’s 100% smitten over both Ellie, as well as her daughter. If I hadn’t previously read the other novel, I honestly think I would have been a little lost.Įllie is Jax’s BOOM, which is sort of a thing in the Mayson family clan. I even had to go back and remind myself as to what happened at the end of Until July to remember who was who. There is some important carry over from the plot of that novel, and it sort of picks up where the other one left off. When he finds out she has a daughter, he realizes he wants a family, and he will do whatever is necessary to keep both of his girls safe, even if that means facing the demons from his past.Īlthough this is technically the first novel in the spinoff Until Him series, I would highly recommend you read Until July first. Now she just hopes she doesn’t get hurt when she falls hard for a guy who’s known for breaking hearts. Jax Mayson knows that Ellie is his BOOM the moment he sees her.

She isn’t even looking for a man, but when Jax Mayson insists on keeping her and her daughter safe, she’s left with no choice but to trust him. This book was so freaking good! A sweet, sexy and suspenseful read.Įllie Anthony isn’t looking for love.
