Until I Get You: A Hockey Romance Novel

Product Information

I really have no explanation for that last one...but let me rant about a different aspect of the plot holes... why didn't she ever tell the hero who her rapist stalker was? Why would she have kept it a secret? That part makes NO SENSE AT ALL. If she knew that he could potentially become a victim of this man, why would she have kept the hero in the dark about WHO TO WATCH OUT FOR? All the excuses that the hero would have killed him were BULLSHIT because he should have had that info for his own protection. Of course, the hero not knowing was what set them up for the three year separation, and it's clear the author was too lazy to find a better way to write the story. Makes perfect sense. /s Lyla and Lachlan’s story is an emotional rollercoaster to say the very least. Lachlan is the guy who can love them and leave them, Lyla is the girl who is closed off for… reasons. These are not two people you think are going to have an instant draw to one another, and yet. Lachlan gives boy obsessed/falls first a new meaning. This man is smitten for Lyla even though she doesn’t plan to give him the time of day. Clearly this is a romance, so it doesn’t quite go as she plans, but alas. This book, while emotional and sweet when it comes to their love also has some heavy/dark themes that it explores. I was on the edge of my seat towards the middle and end of this story for multiple reasons. I don’t want to spoil anything, so I’m pretty much leaving it at that, but know that this one gets intense and covers dark topics. Also she didn’t confessed to the hero about it which is odd💀 this situation makes me want to give it 4 stars instead but because i love their love story and the hero’s amazing love for her, i give it 5 stars. And that made me doesn’t love the heroine so much😂

Hero's actions during separation were left somewhat ambiguous, he was either celibate or hooked up rarely, however you want to read it. But, I found myself struggling to stay interested. It was too long with too many mundane scenes that should have been cut. I managed to not DNF just because Lachlan was kind of fun, and I wanted to find out how this would become "dark." I was waiting for the other shoe to drop with Lachlan, but that didn't amount to much. At first I thought maybe this could have the vibe of Torment: Part One, in terms having a tense and slow-lead up to the hero becoming increasingly deranged. But no, not really! This was just....slow. I already created an IG account for Lyla, friend-requested them, and posted two pictures of us together. I’ll have to tell her about the account later, so she can hear it from me and not them.

See a Problem?

Lyla also does things like go to a party KNOWING that she will be running from the villain. But later, when he’s chasing her, she’s like “I’m wearing heels, so it’s hard to run away.” Why did she wear heels if she knew this was going to happen?!! This girl makes aggravating choices. As we make our way through the book details begin to be unveiled about what happened to Lyla with an influential figure in her world that has her scared to be with anyone else for the fear of them getting hurt.

This book was weird. It calls itself “dark,” but it’s not, really, it’s more just an angsty New Adult book that has an unusually obsessive / possessive hero. Also you have to be patient and try to enjoy reading this book because it’s a long one. But that’s the best part 🥺❤️ The heroine believes that he had been with other women during separation and he never corrects her or tells her differently. Until I Get You starts out as a college sports romance, then turns into a romantic suspense/darkish romance. I am not always the biggest romantic suspense fan, but Claire Contreras does it so well. This book hooked me from the start and was impossible to stop listening to.Did I like this book? Yes. Did it still take me over 2 weeks to read it? Also yes. Do with that what you will. It went from a super sweet, but kind of stalker-y romance, to a tension filled emotional rollercoaster rid, to a nail biting thriller by the end, lol. Super intense. Kinda darkish. Until I Get You is well written, fast paced, and a storyline that just kept on giving. Lachlan wonderful. He's completely all in from the first meet and OBSESSED with his girl, his antics will have you laughing out loud. Lyla is really just trying her best to hold it all together and can't quite understand Lachlan's fascination with her especially with everything she does to try to dissuade him. She has tons of trauma that she's holding in the story is just gut-wrenching in spots. The chemistry between the two of them is fantastic and you totally become invested in their happy ended. Just a fantastic read!

Lachlan signals for me to hand the phone to him. I look up with a frown but hand it to him anyway, because I’m curious to see what he’s going to do next.Welcome to Shh... [Smut, Heroes & HEAs], a reader group dedicated to contemporary Romance & Erotica. Lyla has some deep dark baggage, anyone she gets close to could be in danger, only a select few know her secrets, and they too are keeping tight lipped. Death surrounds her.. She's lost so much, and given up so much of herself. if you’re bored, want to be a little confused, make a wtf face every few mins this is a good read 👍🏽 When we finally walk out of his office, he holds my hand and introduces me to everyone on his floor. He does the same on every floor of the building that he visits, including Liam’s.” (His brother). She seemed unbreakable, which made sense. You can only truly break someone once. Everything after that is just chipping at pieces.”

Others aspired to join me or become like me.I love sports romances and I loved that this wasn't your typical sports romance. It went deeper and darker and Claire did a fantastic job with it. It was the perfect blend of angsty, dark, suspenseful, and had me smiling and laughing a few times as well. Lyla goes through a lot There is some rape/SA, a suicide, death of a parent and I was rooting for her. I loved watching her come into her own. This one is definitely a must read. I lost count on how many times he proclaimed his love and obsession to her cause its many! The hero loves everything about the heroine. Always saying that many times🥺 Her body, her soul, her heart, her eyes, everything.

He always say that if he doesn’t have her now then he will die lol. Seriously the hero’s love for the heroine so freakin big❤️❤️ Can you do what I’m asking? This guy’s a creep.
