This is
the third installment in the Until Her series, which includes Until July and
Until June. Those are secondary novels to the Until series. I say this because
this is probably the weakest book in the series. Mostly due to plot holes that
seemed highly unrealistic to me, and then secondly because there were a fair
amount of spelling errors. Now with that negativity out of the way, I still
enjoyed the book.
Dillon Keck knew Ashlyn Mayson was
drunk when she suggested they get married. He knew he should have taken her
back to their hotel room and put her to bed. Instead, he did what he had been
craving to do since the moment they met.
Claim her as his.
Waking up married in Vegas isn't something Ashlyn Mayson ever thought would happen to her. Having Dillon, her boss, a man she thinks is a dick, insist they stay married is absurd, but every time he touches her, she gets lost in him and wonders if maybe they are meant to be together.
But someone isn't happy for Dillon and Ashlyn and their new found romance, and they're willing to do anything to keep them apart. Even commit murder.

In one
of the other Until books, we hear about how Ashlyn’s boss makes her change how
she dresses to work, and is a complete dickhead. All she does is complain, but
her cousins know that deep down she has feelings for him. Here enter the plot
issues that got to me:
Getting married in Vegas while drunk, done before and done better. I
don’t see how she wasn’t extremely angry at the man who just trapped her in a “loveless”
marriage. Personally, even if the man I had a secret crush on married me, I
would be irritated. She puts up barely any fight besides semi-withholding sex.
(Now
that is something that was fantastic…the chemistry between these two is off the
charts. Dillion is so caring, that when they meet in bed you would almost
expect him to be soft. Ha-ha, that is not the case. At all.)
Now
my other issue is with the murdering, stalker thing. Not much of a spoiler
since it says it in the synopsis, so this will be vague as to not spoil more.
If he was actually stalking her, he would have realized something was not right.
It seemed to me sort of cheap, almost like she needed a quick way to add drama
and suspense. I feel like there could have been better ways to tie it into the
story than what was chosen.
Since the unhappy thoughts are out of the way, I will gladly read this book again, because while the
plot was a bit cliché and contrived, it was cute and entertaining. (A bit
expected since these story points have been used so many times before.) It is a
feel-good book you can pick up and read whenever you want. Not original but enjoyable.
