Reviews with content warning for Violence - Until I Get You

I was trying this book out to see how I would like it so I’m not going to rate it since I’m not an avid dark romance reader. I will share my thoughts below.

It started pretty strong if I’m not lying I was getting into the storyline of this hockey player being obsessed with the woman who will not give him the time of day.

It’s a little weird to me to risk losing your entire career over someone you met 1 time by stalking her and becoming obsessed but at least she knows he’s all in.

Then…. The plot thickened with another psychopath stalker.

We get some sweet and spicy moments I was digging and heartbreak for the couple.

Then bam 💥 3 years later love interest is going to hunt her down and force marriage and wants revenge on the psycho stalker. Okay… then this where I started to get bored at the 80% mark before DNFing.

The MMC is an alpha hole controlling jealous the whole nine yards and freaks if she so much as blinks at another man he wants to murder them and that repeated through the whole book and was annoying. Coupled with her shock of how he would react to finding out all the stuff the psycho stalker man did to her and she thinks that the Alphahole is going to just be like cool cool. Come on….

The love parts became pretty cheesy and I just needed more action, less pages, less repetition and honestly better CW.

Please note there are CW provided by the author but I would add the following: car accident, drugging, death on page, murder, and rape - author had that it was off page but it’s not if you go into detail so please be advised ( of minor in detail recounted and as adult).

I can definitely see the appeal and this book hooked me in the beginning for sure and even when he found her 3 yrs later but I think it should have wrapped up earlier with the side stalker plot-line.

Also, I really did enjoy into what are your physical copy of his book. There are some things that I wish you were a little different.

I want it more of the frustration of him looking for her, and I want it more buildup to the attention of going back to Fairview.

I just felt million that everything was just so fast pace. I didn’t have any time to process in taking the villain of the story and all the stuff that he was doing.

But otherwise this book is really good and I would recommend it, just checked the trigger warnings!

If I had to sum up Until I Get You in just one word, it would have to be intense because everything about this one has an intensity about it. From the tone to the characters to the storyline, it's intense. I would strongly suggest heeding the content warnings included in the book because things do get dark. There is a bit of suspense that follows the characters from the beginning, and it had me hooked and hanging on every word waiting for the reveal. Part of that includes a couple of scenes that were pretty hard to hear - I did listen to this one, and to be honest, I'm not really sure which format would've been harder to get through on those parts. I can usually imagine it so much darker than it comes across in audio, but Kasha Kensington pulls out all the stops. The emotion of those scenes comes through in her voice and tone, and she had my heart pounding.

Even the romance has that intensity about it. Lachlan's feelings for Lyla are right there on the line of obsession, and I'd even go so far as to say he crossed that line a few times. At the same time, I couldn't stop rooting for this couple. Without giving too much away, I'll explain it by referencing the cover. That smoke you see on the cover is perfect for this relationship because where there's smoke, there's fire, and Lyla and Lachlan are hot enough to set the curtains on fire!

Kasha Kensington is joined by Joe Arden, who wowed me as he always does. This was my first time listening to Kensington, and after hearing the whole thing, I can't imagine anyone else as Lyla. Of course, Joe Arden's sexy voice was perfect for Lachlan, and he perfectly captured that intensity I've been talking about. I'll stop there before I give away the book's secrets, and there are a fair few to discover. So, to sum it up, the combination of Claire Contreras's writing and Joe Arden and Kasha Kensington's narration is a thing of beauty. Somehow Contreras has escaped my notice until this book, but I plan to remedy that immediately. Until then, I highly recommend Until I Get You for readers of dark romance.

This book is better if you go into it blind which is what I did just be mindful if you have triggers look into it. This will not be my last Claire Contreras book as this was fantastic. I felt all the emotions when reading this book from happy to sad. The depth of these characters is great and Logan can be possessive of me any day. These two are soulmates and the intimate spice just hit. Really enjoyed this read.
