Synopsis
When Cash Mayson was forced to choose between the love of his life and his unborn child, he knew exactly what he had to do. No matter how broken it left him.
When Lilly Donovan was forced to accept that the guy she loved wasn’t who she thought he was and became a single mother, she knew exactly what she had to do. Proving just how strong she was.
What happens when years later you find out that everything you thought you knew was a lie?
Can two people who once loved each other overcome the obstacles that are thrown at them and fall in love all over again?
Cash Mayson had forgotten how it felt to be loved Until Lilly came back into his life. And now that he remembers, he will do everything within his power to keep not only the woman that he loves, but also his children.
The power of love is a beautiful thing.
The Mayson Boys…every woman wants one and every man wants to be one. There’s just something about them…for some readers, it’s their looks and the way they carry themselves; for others, it’s their alpha male dominance and their willingness to go at warp speed once they find their “boom!” Regardless of what it is that draws readers to Aurora Rose Reynolds’ leading men, what keeps us coming back is Aurora’s fluid storytelling and strong character development – the hot sex scenes might help a little as well;)
Until Lilly focuses on Cash and the love of his life, Lilly. Just like Asher and Trevor, Cash fell fast for Lilly, but far too soon, it all had to end because Jules, his “friend” with benefits, ended up pregnant with his child. He thought he was doing the right thing, and frankly, he had no other choice because Jules threatened to have an abortion multiple times if he even looked at another woman. In doing right by his son, Jax, though, Cash sacrificed his own happiness and broke the heart of the woman he loved. Fast forward a few years and Cash is now a single father; he finally dumped the crazy and was awarded full custody of Jax. One fated meeting at a kid’s play place brings Lilly back into his life as well as a beautiful little girl, Ashlyn, who he soon learns is his daughter. Now that Lilly and Ashlyn are in his life, he’s going to do everything in his power to get what he should have had since he first met Lilly at the coffee shop, and he’s not going to let anyone stand in his way…not a hesitant family or his crazy ass ex.
What I love most about Cash’s story is Cash himself. He’s a bit different from Asher and Trevor. He’s still an alpha male, but there’s also a softer side to him that readers see a lot of throughout the story. Cash has been put through the ringer because of his marriage to Jules, and his mom even talked about the fact that they don’t even know half of what Cash went through with that bitch. He also had to deal with the heartbreak of losing Lilly once, so he definitely has a different perspective on life and love. Even brothers have differences, and Aurora illustrates that perfectly.
Lilly is an amazing heroine. She’s an awesome mom, and despite everything that she went through when Cash dumped her, she still told Ashlyn about him. She has every right to be hesitant when Cash first reenters her life; she could’ve bailed too with all the drama Jules threw her way, but she preserves because she’s an incredibly strong woman with a heart of gold.
The family dynamics really shines through in this book. The Mayson crew is expanding, and it’s great to catch up with all of them and see the love and support they give each other. Lilly’s parents are a great addition to the supportive family, and I can’t even explain how much I adore Jax and Ashlyn.
Until Lilly is a fantastic second chance love story. Once Cash and Lilly reunite, they build a solid family unit that remains united despite some of the drama that is thrown their way. Readers get small glimpses into the other couples from the previous books, which is always a must with a series. Nico is coming our way next, and I can’t wait to see what happens with him.

4.5 poison apples
“Is that what you do? I mean do you often try to hit on women in coffee shops by buying coffee for them?” “I can tell you with one hundred percent truthfulness that I have never done that before.” “Never.” A look passes over his face I don’t know what It means but I don’t like it.” “Do you date a lot?” I ask quietly wondering if he thinks I will be some kind of conquest.” “I haven’t dated.” “You haven’t dated?” I look him over again he must think I am stupid guys who look like him must date a lot. “I have never had to date.” “What does that mean?” “If I want to sleep with someone I don’t need to date them.” “What?” I breathe that is not at all what I expected him to say. “You’re the guy that can get any girl he wants without ever putting any kind of effort into it.” He shrugs the gesture making me feel sick at the same time I want to kick him in the nuts. Maybe the red hair does make me have a temper. “I never lead anyone on or tell them things they want to hear.” “So that makes it okay?” “I don’t know if it makes it okay but it’s who I am.” “Well I am glad that this is coming to light now rather than later.” “Oh no,” He shakes his head. “This thing with you is something completely different.” “Yeah I know.” I tell him crossing my arms over my chest. “Its different because I will not be sleeping with you.” I lean forward. “EVER.” “Well I guess we answered the question about red heads and their tempers didn’t we.” He smiles showing off both dimples. “But trust me when I tell you I would not have driven almost three hours to sleep with you that’s not what I am looking for.”
