#ReleaseBlitz ~~ Until May by Aurora Rose Reynolds

Rating:   Title: Until May Series: Until Her #7 Author: Aurora Rose Reynolds Genre: Contemporary Romance Release Date: June 21, 2022 Stephanie’s 4.5 Blush Review Another fun and romantic poolside read by Aurora Rose Reynolds! Until May has everything I love about the “Until” Series; hot, sexy alpha males, intelligent females, chemistry, and lots of steam. Until May is the second generation of the “Until” series ~ Until Him/Until Her. The stories are interconnected but can be read as a standalone. I am a huge fan of the series.

Rating: 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧 & 𝐈𝐬𝐚𝐛𝐞𝐥: 𝐀𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝟏𝟏𝐅 𝐛𝐲 𝐀𝐥𝐲 𝐒𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐋𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐋𝐘 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐞 𝐔𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝! Stephanie’s 4 Blush Review  Tristan & Isabel: Apartment 11F is book #3 in the Wreck You series. It is a stand-alone and most definitely the darkest tone so far in the series. The content is much heavier, much deeper. Tristian’s story is emotional and heart-wrenching. Aly Stiles pulled out all of the emotions. How can someone look so stunning and tragic at the same time? All is not doom and gloom. Tristan and Isabel’s story comes full circle. I loved Isabel’s heart and...
