Excerpt
“Thank you again for
taking me.” Pulling my eyes from the road for a brief moment, I look at Ellie.
Her head is resting against the window, her legs pulled up onto the seat,
tucked near her ass, and her arms are wrapped tight around them. One thing I’ve
noticed about her over the last few hours is she’s always wrapping her arms
around herself or tucking her body into a tight ball. It’s like she’s forcing
herself to stay together.
“I
told you I got you, baby,” I say gently, wanting more than anything to take her
hand in mine, but every time I touch her, she freezes up like she’s waiting for
me to strike out at her, and I would be lying if I said that didn’t piss me the
fuck off. It does; it feels like a slap in the face every time it happens.
“I
know,” she whispers, and the tears I hear in her voice cause a sharp pain in my
chest.
Fuck.
“This
is the turnoff.” Her feet go to the floorboard and her hands to the dash as she
sits up taller, moving her face closer to the windshield. We drive up a long
dirt driveway with forest and the occasional broken down car on each side. When
we make it to the top of the hill, a singlewide trailer comes into view, with
junk cars and garbage piled up out front.
As
soon as I come to a stop, she opens her door and hops out before I can tell her
to keep her little ass in the cab. I don’t even know how I’m going to deal with
the range of emotions that have settled over me since seeing her for the first
time.
“Fucking
Boom,” I mutter, getting out behind her and doubling my steps until I’m able to
reach her side, where I wrap my hand around her waist and pull her closer to
me. She’s so fucking tiny that the top of her dark head sits right at my chest.
So fragile, from her too soft skin to her petite size. And she’s mine.
Until Jax (Until Him) by Aurora Rose Reynolds
Jax is Ellie's rescuer and protector. Jax is possessive and demanding, but also loving and understanding. He wants more but Ellie is reluctant to give in, she has her daughter to think of and protect from heartbreak as well as herself.
I enjoyed the story but I didn't love it. I didn't develop a real connection with the couple. Ellie's daughter was a good character and was excellent at bring everyone together. She's cute and everyone loved her.
I think you may have to read Until July (Until Her) because the two books are connected. However, I did read it but I was still a little lost with some things that happened because I simply didn't remember. Incidents were explained and the story continued.
A light and steamy read with my required HEA and a very nice epilogue. I always love it when I get a glimpse of the couple's future, sometimes that alone makes me want to continue the series.
