Until You

De: Briar Prescott

Narrado por: Devon Ryder

I’m the first one to tell you I have issues.

Trust issues.

Family issues.

Probably a few others I haven’t discovered yet. Which is why I prefer to keep my life as simple and uncomplicated as possible.

Until him.

Blake McAdams barrels into my life and refuses to leave. He’s relentlessly optimistic, sexy as hell, annoyingly persistent, and…wants to be friends? Because…he thinks I’m interesting?

Yeah, I’ll pass. Thanks.

Only, somehow, we end up doing just that.

And then that friendship evolves into something more, and suddenly, I find myself navigating a completely foreign territory: a relationship.

But Blake has his own issues, and once those clash with mine my simple and uncomplicated life? Turns into anything but.

Fantastic! with a twist

Such a great story! It's a bit disjointed in the beginning on purpose because it all ties up soon enough. I'm still confused about a few parts like Blake running into his family at the art exhibition, though later he doesn't have parents? I know foster child and all that, but it seems like that was who he ended up with for better or worse. A great story anyway and I can't wait to read more from this author!

Good, but....

If you're here for the sex, this isn't the book for you. It's a lovely story, amazing narration. But just meh.

All it’s tropes done right

First, Blake is one of my favorite characters I’ve read in the last few years. Second this story is extremely well written. I’m not always huge fan of first person pov with only one narrator, but here it’s critical to live in the feelings and trauma responses, to make guesses at the secrets and to fail to know the twists this story takes. I also appreciate the lengthy amount of time we get in relationship development and happiness before the bond is tested to its limit. This story was not too slow or to rushed. You will love it

Why did I wait so long??

I had this on my TBR list for a while but something always held me back. Now ’m so glad I listened and I’m mad I waited so long 😂 . This was a really well rounded, well written and believable story. Character development was well done and the plot twist was something I didn’t see coming. I’m really excited to listen to the next in the series! Narration was 10/10

Love this book

I couldn’t wait for this to be made into an audiobook and I’m so happy it’s out and I got to listen to it. Love it.

Wonderful

A good plot, deep characters, love that builds slowly and with a lot of emotion... the crisis towards the end is resolved in a mature way and without unnecessary drama. The narrator is excellent except for the fact that he didn't really do different voices for the two heroes and sometimes it was a bit unclear who said what, but other than that he was excellent.

So happy I finally read

I had this book on wish list for a long time but was not sure enough to give it a try. I loved it. I love how it began and how the story revealed something new all the way through. I like books that give me a reason to keep going to find out what happens in the end, not the middle where they get together and have sex rest of book lol the ending was different than any other I have read, so touching I got tears. It was truly a perfect and I think realistic ending. I can’t wait for next one to come to audio. Please use same narrator, I loved him.

4.5 stars

I didnt know anything besides the blurb. I hate books with big secrets, but for some reason this authors way of telling a story makes the anxiety of this looming secret bearable. I wish this was a series with these two characters I feel like there could've been a lot more done, it felt a bit rushed at the end which did these 2 a disservice. reminded me of a book I read as a young teen "face on the milk carton"

The book was stunning. The audiobook was perfect.

I'm not even sure what else I could say. I was "not okay" after I finished the book, and for a lot of reasons - moments so relatable they almost sent me into a panic of memories, heartbreaking angst and a kind of helpless adoration or addiction to another person left me a mess. I think the text book was the first time I understood what a book hangover was.

The audiobook is all that, plus a slightly growly narrator who is perfect for Luke. The only thing I could imagine changing is adding another narrator for Blake, but even that wouldn't make sense with the POV in the book.

On the other hand... Devon Ryder is perfect in this, and I would fight anyone who tried to change anything about the audiobook for Until You . This audiobook was achingly beautiful. If you've been hoarding that last Audible credit like a dragon, this is the one you've been saving it for.

Great story with twists and some spice

5/5⭐️ 2.5/5🌶️
I put off reading this book for a long time. Once I found it on Audible it was a must listen. Let me tell you I wasn’t disappointed, the story was great, the writing style was excellent and it had some spice. Plus a well earned HEA.
The narrator was new to me but he did a great job. Highly recommend if you are on the fence.
