So it was a random audiobook I
started, and ended up pretty surprised how of a page turner it was. I loved the voice actor as well so it’s always a bonus. It was mysterious and tense, the chemistry of the characters was magnetic. It was dark and had some sensitive topics so check the trigger warnings. But I loved it, the end was a bit underwhelming tho

DEAR GOD i think I finally found my first 6 star book 😭‼️ I’m completely obsessed with Lyla and Lochlone’s story. I was hooked from beginning to end and best believe I balled my eyes out when we figure out her backstory about why she’s so closed off with people and doesn’t get too attached to anyone other than her best friends. I’m so glad that she was able to get her justice and that the fucker who ruined her and other peoples lives is gone for good. My thoughts are everywhere atm so writing them out is gonna take too long lol but this is a book I will forever recommend to people and make sure to check tw !

Our main characters are Lachlan James Duke & Lyla James Marichal. Yes, the same middle name 🥺

Part One of Until I Get You takes place in their last semester of their respective senior years in college. Lachlan is a star hockey player, known for women falling at his feet, and never really having to try too hard, if at all, to get the girl. Until he meets Lyla one night at a party he doesn't even want to be at, and she shares the same sentiment. Lachlan is immediately drawn to Lyla, unexplainably so, and begins to chase a girl for the first time in his life.

That is until one of his teammates (who is also one of Lylas best friends) lets him know that theres more to her than meets the eye when he can't help but ask questions & want to know more about her after their first encounter. You can definitely feel the spark between them, it jumps off the pages (much to both of their attempts to deny it).

Lachlan is so incredibly caring towards Lyla in all ways, and definitely when it comes to the spice in this book. I would rate it a 3/5 🌶️, it's more about the connection they share than the overall dirtiness yanno?

The book is separated into two parts: the first centered around their last few months in college, before shit hits the fan and Lylas past comes back to haunt her,

and ruin what she has with Lachlan before it can even really get off the ground.

Part two of Until I Get You takes place

three years later.

I definitely did not see

the time jump

coming, that's for sure. But this is another book where you can't really go in depth with detail in a review without spoiling the whole thing. I will say I definitely enjoyed Part One of the book more than Part Two, hence my rating. I found the second half a little taxing to get through but overall I'm glad I read the book!

Additionally, PLEASE CHECK YOUR TRIGGERS before reading this, as there is incredibly dark content that could really affect sensitive readers. I'll list content warnings as always below, but just exercise caution.
