I have loved Aurora Rose Reynolds and her sexy alphas since I first read her Until series. Her books have always had heroes that border on being over the top protective and alpha, and usually a huge case of insta-love, what she refers to as "The Boom". While that isn't for everyone, I have always really enjoyed it when it comes to her books. I have to say though, that with Until Ashlyn I had some serious issues. While I really wanted to love this one, I never got there and this just didn't work for me like her previous books have. 
 Ever since Dillon took over the practice where Ashlyn works, she has wanted to hate him. Her secret though is that while he drives her nuts and she wants to hate him, he is sexy and she finds herself far from hating him. When they head to Vegas for a work trip, Ashlyn isn't excited to go. But when they wake up married, Ashlyn must face the fact that they are now tied to one another. While Ashlyn immediately starts thinking of exit strategies, Dillon is determined to show her that this is exactly as things should be. Can he convince her that they belong together though? 
 Dillon was hard for me to like at times. I hated that he constantly called Ashlyn a nut. Like that is supposed to be cute or something? I would have hauled off and smacked him the first time, and would have been gone the second. That isn't cute or sexy, it was a huge turn off and he just kept doing it! I didn't feel the connection between them and I think a lot of that was due to the fact that they go from pretty much acting like they can't stand each other to married to suddenly he wants forever. I never saw the feelings develop and it just seemed like the author was like well here we go, they love each other and we were supposed to believe it. Not. Buying. It. Ashlyn was a heroine that I had trouble liking. She came off as a doormat, afraid to talk to her family and she didn't really push back when Dillon was being way over the top. But I guess she was cool with him calling her a fucking nut constantly...so that should tell you something. 
 The worst part about this book though was the fact that these characters seriously felt like generic versions of characters from previous books. It was like she decided to cut and paste whatever she could from other books and tried to link them together somehow, only it just didn't work. There was literally everything and the kitchen sink thrown in here, and it was completely random. Things were brought up and then brushed aside with the bulk of the action happening off page, it was just bizarre. I don't know what happened here, but it was so unorganized and felt extremely forced like she knew she had to put a book out and just starting throwing shit in. This book was a giant clusterfuck and I honestly don't even know what happened. If I read this blindly without knowing who wrote it, I never would have been able to guess beyond the fact that the hero was so over the top alpha and the fact that things were instant. Otherwise though, this one felt so far removed from what I have come to expect from her, and I would think that she was way beyond this at this point in her career. I'm still trying to figure out what happened here, but the only reason I finished was that I kept expecting things to get better and unfortunately that never happened.
