Welcome back to the Mayson Family and the BOOM
Aurora Rose Reynolds delivers another installment in her beloved Until Him/Her series with Until Bax. This story seamlessly blends small-town charm, family bonds, and suspenseful twists, making it a must-read for fans of contemporary romance. Reynolds excels at crafting rich stories, and Until Bax is no exception.
Until Bax checks all the boxes for readers who gravitate to the classic romance tropes.
At its heart is the “best friend’s little sister” dynamic, paired with a swoon-worthy, reformed playboy hero. Bax is the quintessential blue-collar dreamboat—rugged, hardworking, and utterly devoted once he sets his sights on Olivia. Add in a childhood crush that evolves into undeniable chemistry, and you have a story brimming with nostalgia and passion.
Oliva, the sweet yet determined heroine, has always carried a soft spot for Bax. Watching Bax transform into a possessive alpha hero—even while fighting the BOOM—gives the story its emotional depth. Their relationship is fiery and passionate, balanced with moments of heartfelt vulnerability. While the romance takes center stage, the book weaves in suspenseful elements that keep the plot engaging. Strange things begin to occur, forcing Bax to step up and protect the woman he loves. These moments of danger heighten the stakes and showcase the strength of their connection.
Fans of the Until series will relish the familiar dynamics, while newcomers will find it an irresistible introduction to Reynolds’ world. Whether you’re a sucker for possessive alpha heroes or small-town romances with a suspenseful edge, Until Bax is a satisfying, page-turning love story that reminds us of the power of second chances and the bonds that hold us together.
With its mix of tropes, rich family dynamics, and a hero who’s equal parts protective and swoon-worthy, Until Bax is a great addition to the Until universe. It’s a story that celebrates love, loyalty, and the joy of finding your forever person.
