Talk about an emotional rollercoaster 😭 Claire may be one of my Insta but authors now because…woah. Until I Get You is the dark hockey romance I didn’t know I needed. When Lilah, our elusive FMC with an incredibly dark past, catches the attention of their college hockey star Lockland Duke they both fall hard. After endless tragedies Lilah finally opens herself up to love, but when her demons catch up with her she disappears to save the man she loves. Three years later Lockland finally tracks down the love of his life to get her back and get his revenge. Lilah’s backstory is incredibly dark and heartbreaking, but the love she shares with Lockland was pure gold. This story was tense, mysterious, and completely gut wrenching in the best way. My first read from Claire Contreras and I can’t wait to read more!

This book - wow. From the very first chapter, Lyla and Lachlan had me hooked. This story had a lot of super heavy themes (TW: mention of suicide, death, murder, rape, to name a few), but I think Claire Contreras approached these topics in a delicate and tasteful manner.

In addition to completely sucking me in, I found myself rooting for both Lyla and Lachlan throughout, which I really loved. These characters were in no way without their flaws and red flags, but that only made them more real.

All that being said, I highly encourage anyone who may read this book to look at the trigger warnings first, as there were a few chapters that were very hard for me to read.

What a wild ride!!!
Lyla is such a strong FMC! She deserves the best and she went through the worst. I love her DOWN.

Lachlan is so obsessed with Lyla! Like he’s one MMC that i truly believe would lay his life on the line for her. He did so much for her, so much to earn her back, so much to deserve her.

I loved Lyla and Lachlan together. Again, I love how obsessed/possessive and jealous BOTH of them were for each other. Like on the edge of unhinged.

it was just perfect for me. I couldn’t put the book down. They were perfect together, I loved seeing them falling in love.

I think the main tropes are college romance, hockey, second chance, he falls first and boy obsessed

Read the TW before, and you can just skip the chapter 44. You’ll understand the book without reading every detail of this scene
