Meet Wes
& July in Until July!
Until
July is book one in the spin-off series: Until Her!
This is a standalone and a
spin off of the New York Times best selling Until Series
Wes Silver wasn’t looking
for love, but when July Mayson literally knocks him on his ass during their
first encounter, his world is turned upside down by the quirky blonde, and
every moment with her makes him more determined to protect her.
July Mayson doesn’t
understand the pull she feels toward the bad boy biker Wes Silver, but she
knows being with him is like nothing she’s ever felt before. Now all she has to
do is tell her overprotective father, Asher Mayson, that she’s found her boom.
I sit up
when I see a few bikes in the distance. I don’t recognize their patches, but
that doesn’t surprise me. Tennessee has a huge MC community, and there are
always new clubs popping up all over the state. I slow down as I close the
distance between us.
The
closer I get, the more details I can make out. The group of about five bikes in
front of me are all Harleys, all ranging in colors from almost purple to black.
None of the men are wearing helmets, which is the complete opposite of me, who
is covered from head to toe in black leather. Even my helmet is all black, with
leather piping.
I take
the men in, noticing they are all well-built, their leather cuts displaying a
large eagle, with its wings spread wide like it’s midflight. The talons of the
bird are carrying a long stem rose, with petals falling off it onto their club
name, The Broken Eagles. I begin to speed up and pass them one by one, thankful
for the security of my helmet, the black visor making it impossible to see me.
I keep my
head straight until the last guy, the one who is at the front of the group,
catches my attention. From the back, his hair is the first thing I notice. It’s
slightly long on top and buzzed on the sides. My eyes move to the expanse of
his back, the wide set of his shoulders, and the tan skin covering his lean
muscles. His bike is low to the ground, and the bars are in front of him in a
way that he has to stretch his arms straight out, causing every muscle to flex
and move, making it look like the tattoos are alive and dancing.
My eyes
skim farther down over his chest, which is covered in a white tank top tucked
into a pair of light jeans, and around his waist is a black belt with a large
silver buckle. I continue to pass him, my eyes shifting from the road to him
and back again. This time when I look over, his head is turned towards me, and
if I didn’t know any better, I would have swear he is looking directly into my
soul.
“Holy
shit,” I whisper, taking in his hair, the set of his jaw that is covered in
days of stubble, and a pair of light eyes I can’t quite make out through the
tint of my helmet. He is seriously hot, but equally scary-looking. I look from
him back to the road. It must not have been even a second, but when my eyes go
to the asphalt in front of me, I see a bird that is trying to make its way
across the road, its wing hanging in an awkward position. I swerve to the right
just in time to miss the poor animal.
“What the
fuck?” I hear roared, and I look over my shoulder at the man who is now coming
up quick on my right side. I yell an apology over the sound of my engine and
his pipes. Do a quick wave and take off, lowering my body and pulling back the
throttle, wanting to get away from them. Dude looks seriously pissed off, and
even though I hate leaving the bird behind without helping it, I would like to
live to see my next birthday.
I think
I’m in the clear, but then the sound of pipes fills my ears, and I don’t even
know how it happens, but they all catch up with me, surrounding my bike. I
can’t make out what they’re saying, but my stomach starts to roll at the sound
of their voices. I feel my side to make sure I have the Taser my dad insisted I
carry.
I see a
clearing and pull my bike off to the side of the road. I know this is probably
one of the stupidest things I have ever done, but if they keep chasing me like
they have been, we could all end up seriously hurt. I pull over and don’t even
shut down my bike. I just lower my kickstand as my heart, which was already
beating hard, begins to bang violently against my ribcage as they surround me.
“What the
fuck is wrong with you?” the guy who was at the head of the group asks,
stepping in front of my bike.
I shake
my head as my words get lodged in my throat.
He pulls
me off my bike, and the men who are with him begin yelling obscenities as well.
“Sorry,”
I croak out, and I don’t even know if he hears me as his hand goes to the
collar of my leather jacket, where he shakes me hard. My hand accidently
presses down on the button that ignites the Taser. The loud crack fills the
air, and his eyes go wide then he falls to the ground, and I fall on my ass and
crabwalk backwards. I look up when I hit something, only to meet the eyes of
another man, who looks pissed.
“Get up,”
he growls, picking me up. My feet flail under me as I’m lifted off the ground
with my hands restrained behind my back.
“Hold him
still,” the guy who I had tasered growls in front of me as I try to get away
from the anger I feel coming off him. His hands go to my head and he rips my
helmet off, causing my hair to float down around me.
Complete silence descends.
I swear no one even takes a breath.
Until July (Until Her) by Aurora Rose Reynolds
Light biker boy action........not the usual dark, gritty and raw biker story.
Wes and July first meeting is very unusual and things take off from there. July, of course is feisty and trouble seems to find her. Wes is the growling overprotective alpha.The couple has their moments, but I didn't find a love connection.
Since I have not read any of the previous Until Series, I can't agree or disagree on the timeline and other faux pas some readers are commenting on but I will say the book is lightweight but entertaining.....and that's not a bad thing.
