Until Posey

Rate this book
The BOOM.


The heart-pounding, inexplicable sensation of falling in love. An emotional pull that can complete a man in one second and destroy him in the next.


Hunter Banks, eldest brother, consummate bachelor, and family protector. When Cobi Mayson shows up at the shop, needing his help, Hunter agrees. He’ll do whatever it takes to keep his family safe. Including going undercover and back to where everything started for Ireland—Lux Automotive.


However, helping a friend comes at a price, and now, the balance is due.


Posey Roberts doesn’t like liars. Even lies of omission. If a person couldn’t tell the truth, they’re either hiding something or guilty of doing something else. She’d learned that lesson several times over while in the foster care system until her adoptive mom stepped in. Now, as a social worker, Posey helps children in need, including Destiny Banks, a six-month-old baby girl.


When she arrives at Hunter’s home, Posey’s ready to tear Hunter apart. Until she meets the Viking-God in person and everything else disappears. Unfortunately for her, Hunter is off limits. She has a job to do, protect Destiny at all costs.


The web of lies Hunter has woven to safeguard his family are coming apart at the seams. Telling Posey the truth could put her and Destiny in danger. Continuing to lie to her will tear them apart. Meeting his Boom was supposed to be an adventure, but when the truth comes out, Hunter will have no one else to blame but himself.


The Boom is supposed to be forever.


What if this time it’s not?

I saw this cover and wanted to read it! And I love the until series and the boom. Now I'll be honest. Posey, right from the start, got on my last nerve with her judgy self. She was already assuming Hunter was a guy who didn't wrap it when she saw him holding a child and her bring a baby to him. The child he was holding was his nephew.. the baby wasn't even his, but lie told a white lie that the baby was his due to a case he was on. Feeling guilty, he couldn't help the mother he's trying his best to take care of the little girl.
I also didn't like that Hunter was calling Posey a bitch in his head for her assuming even if she was acting like one. Even when he felt the "boom" it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Once things start going Posey learns not to be so judgmental and just watch she learns he's a great guy helping his family out when they need he's a perfect dad. They slowly try to date few hiccups and sweet moments with the baby. And well the big drama that had Posey taking a step back.

Only good thing that happened during that fight was her not taking the child away. She knew the baby had a better chance with Hunter and his family.

Kinda glad I didn't read Ireland story I'm sorry but she was rude and a ugh to her brother.

No ow/om drama, no cheating, secondary character, tiny drama, sexy times, virgin gal and past manwhore

Hunter and Posey

This Boom comes along when Posey rocks up on Hunter's doorstep with a surprise baby. Hunter takes on the baby and Posey is their caseworker.
Both feel a strong connection to each other straight away and Hunter goes after Posey. Hunter keeps a secret from Posey which threatens to tear them apart.
Hunter is such a likeable guy, with his heart of gold trying to do the right thing. Posey has a sad story that she's still trying to overcome.
This book had one of the best epilogues I've ever read. While reading it, I could feel how good the characters were.
Visits from the Mayson family and Hunter's family such as Ireland and Mack from the book Until Ireland and Hunter's brothers from Until Waverly make this a great story. Hopefully we will her Landons story too one day!

Until Posey by TL Reeve & Michele Ryan this is part of the Happily Ever Alpha World Series. This is the story of Hunter Banks and Posey Roberts. Posey is a social worker who was at one time in foster care. So she has a hard time dealing with dishonest people. This does pose a problem for her sometimes. Hunter is the head of his family after his parents died. So Hunter's life has been his family and keeping the business going. Hunter never really believed in the "Boom' until he opened his door to Posey standing there with a baby. Loved this book and I hope to read more from these two authors.

I absolutely love this book. And I love the whole Boom idea. I couldn't put book down once started.

I loved Hunter and Posey together, they met under rough circumstances. Posey has trouble with liars and with her past. But Hunter managed to break down her walls. Hunter has always been busy, and living his life but Posey and Destiny change his life.

I highly recommend this book.

I really love all the books and all the boom.

Posey is the FMc, who is a social worker, who has seen some stuff over the years. Hunter, the MMC, works with his family as they own a body/mechanic shop. Posey seems to be, a judgmental person. She watches the way Hunter seems to step up when he didn’t want or have to. Until a family emergency happens. Posey starts to see Hunter in a different light. She sees him as a stand up guy who loves his family unconditionally and will do anything to help them. Hunter knows that Posey is his boom now all he has to do is to convince her of this. They have a lot to overcome if they want that HEA. Thank you to give me books promotions for allowing me to read in advance.

Not a fan

Once again the editing errors killed the mood. If I find myself reading through a book with my imaginary red pen, it doesn't matter about the storyline.

In the prologue of this book, we learn the sequence of events that is key. Hunter is approached by his friend Cobi to assist in a joint investigation and sting operation. The main player Pedro brought with him his girlfriend Hope and during the op Hunter did his best to persuade Hope to leave Pedro to no avail. The sting was successful, capturing many but Pedro escaped taking Hope with him.

As this book opens, Hunter is babysitting his nephew Mack Jr. and listening to the news. Hunter had a running conversation with Mack as they ate breakfast, and we also get more back story here. The knock on the door and the woman standing there would change everything, she is his Boom.

Posey Roberts from Department of Children’s Resources–Davidson County, asks if Hunter Banks lives there. As Hunter observes the baby carrier in her hand, and confirms he is Hunter Banks. Posey requests entry as Hunter asks who the baby is.

Posey makes many assumptions about Hunter and references the accident that is on the news. She's obviously made judgements about his character, and it shows. Hunter's thoughts go a mile a minute as he processes what Posey is saying about the accident and how Destiny was found. Since Cobi is in charge of the accident investigation, and he's sure Hope had her reasons for putting him on Destiny's birth certificate, he takes responsibility for her. He won't let her go into the system and would do his own search for any relatives she may have. His family would have questions he wouldn't be able to give a truthful answer to and that would be the hardest part of this.

Once Posey leaves, she evaluates the way she acted to Hunter. She really was unfair to him and much of that came from her own experiences within the system. She feels she now owes him an apology.

Already we know these two are attracted to each other. However, the circumstance of their meeting is not conducive to a relationship.

Things almost immediately become more problematic for Hunter when his sister Ireland arrives to take Mack Jr. home. She sees Destiny and starts questioning Hunter relentlessly. She really can be quite persistent.

For Hunter and Posey, that complication doesn't become apparent until her second visit. At the end of which Hunter has a family emergency and asks Posey to stay with Destiny.

Posey's conscience gets the best of her after she tells a little white lie about why she's not returning to the office. She takes care of Destiny's needs, then orders pizzas, enough for Hunter and his brother when they get home. Once Destiny is settled, she falls asleep on the couch.

From here things between start evolving when he asks Posey to dinner. She says no, but she really wants to say yes.

I love the way this story unfolds. Between his family, the trial, and Posey there is never a dull moment. In spite of the conflicts there are also plenty of sizzling scenes in this book both fantasy and actual.

Since I read this book first, I now have to go back and read Ireland and Waverly's stories.

Until Posey by T L Reeves & Michele Ryan 5 stars review due 1/12/24 (g m b)
Hunter & Posey

As the oldest he'd taken over as head of the family when their parents were taken from them in an accident. While they thought he was bossy, he'd fought hard to keep the family together. The auto repair and custom shop became known all around and they made a good living. Now they were getting older and settling down with their “boom matches.” The meeting with the person that would be theirs for the rest of their lives. Hunter felt there was little chance for him if there was even such a thing as a boom—until he opened his door to Posey holding a baby carrier with an adorable tiny baby she identified as Hunter's daughter. It was probably the only thing that could have pulled his attention from the woman.

She was just as attuned to him but thought everything to pull her away from the feelings. There was much to learn about each other. He'd been persuaded by the FEDS to go undercover to help solve a big case that his expertise was perfect. The limited commitment they'd promised he'd be needed for turned into so much more. Would it be too much? Would it ruin the Boom?

It isn't going to get solved or worked through quickly. As a Federal Case, he can't give too much information. Posey is good and kind as a CPS agent. She has a few hard points she won't let slide. The truth is on top. Now what? He isn't the dad but since she's connected to the case he can't say anything.

Hunter & Posey: triggers: Foster Care, child abandonment, drugs, theft, endometriosis. It looks like these authors are taking on the entire Banks family as this is the third book covering the eldest sibling (there's only one sibling left, Landon). In this book, Hunter is approached by Cobi to help him out with a case. It's only supposed to last a few weeks. It wasn't until his BOOM, Posey, appeared on his front door with an explosion of her own. The story is good but other than the mention of the “BOOM” and a couple of characters from the original “Until Him/Her” series, I didn't feel that it connected. There's no real dilemma or element of danger. Though I will say that this story does overlap with “Until Waverly” , the element of danger in that book, to me, doesn't count towards this book. So that made the book a bit anticlimactic​ and a bit disappointing. I hope that if these authors take on the last sibling, they work a bit harder to give the fans what they want. I totally love the Banks family and their banter. Hunter is my favorite of that clan. I wished that we would have learned a bit more about Posey’s life before being adopted because to me that is the trigger that made her choose the profession she did.

Hunter was the oldest in his family and he took over as head of his family when his parents died in an accident. Their custom and repair shop is taking off and they are making a good living. Everything is going fine for their family everyone is settling down and life is good. Until the day he opens the door to Posey holdings a little baby and claiming it's his daughter. BOOM… lol

I love me a single parent story and this one was so good, and it was a Until story… I mean what more do you need. As with all stories, there must be one of them that needs convincing, and Posey was definitely the one that needed it. One of her all-time limits is honesty and well Hunter has a secret that he can’t exactly share. Will this be a deal breaker for her…

Another amazing story added to the Until series and definitely another one I will add to my favorite pile. Lots of amazing chemistry, loved both characters and as usual the BOOM is strong and just needs a little help to get them together 😊

Hunter has been taking care of his family for a while now after they lost their parents, so he has the protector gene going strong. He ends up doing something undercover with a case after Cobi Mayson asks for his help, and it definitely throws his life into chaos in the aftermath. Posey is a social worker who comes face to face with Hunter when she brings a baby girl to him after her parents are killed, and it shocks Hunter since he knows he's not that baby's father despite his name on the birth certificate but he takes responsibility for her which definitely did something to my heart. He experiences that BOOM moment with Posey, but she has some trust issues despite the fact that she's very much drawn to him. They have serious heat going on, and are perfect for each other, but Hunter hasn't told her the truth about that baby girl so it's hanging over his head, and secrets always come out at some point. Will he be able to make her understand his point once that secret comes to light? Or will Posey throw him out of her life for good? You'll have to read this amazing story to find out as I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.

In this book we meet Posey Roberts & Hunter Banks. Hunter we met in Until Ireland as you remember he is Ireland's brother who worked in the same shop as her. Well Cobi is back and he is asking for Hunter to do something he promised he wouldn't do again little did he know what would happen when it was all done. One look at Posey and that boom they talked about ya he found his if only he can get her to see him as more than a failure. Posey works for child protection services and when she shows up to give Hunter his daughter she is totally not prepared for him. The problem Posey has is she sees him through her problemed past not as the man he is. Can these two find a HEA or will all the things left unsaid be more than they can overcome?

Another amazing hit out of the park by these authors. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Hunter is the head of the family after his parents’ deaths, and he runs the family auto repair and custom shop, and he will do whatever he must to protect his family’ Posey is a social worker, who is fiercely protective of the kids under her care, and she was in the foster system growing up. When Posey arrives on Hunter’s doorstep with 6-month-old baby Destiny, the sparks fly.
This is a well written story which is an emotional roller coaster, with family, lies, revelations, danger, intrigue, unconditional love, and undeniable chemistry, which leads to an entertaining and compelling page turner.
I look forward to reading more from these talented authors’ whose work I highly recommend.

I love ARR's Happily Ever Alpha world. And all of the Until books. I am not familiar with these authors but oh my goodness, they wrote a seamless story that fit right in to the narrative ARR began the series with.

I loved all things Hunter. His family. His work. His commitment to do good by people. Posey took some warming up for me but int he end, I think these two were perfect for each other!

Great to see some familiar ARR faces. LOVED the epilogues! Just an overall wonderful read.

*I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Hunter is a man with a big heart who is always there to help anyone in any way he can which includes being there for his siblings when they lost their parents. When a woman from child services shows up at his door with a baby claiming that she is his he is conflicted as he can’t be completely honest with Posey.

After her childhood Posey has dedicated her life to help vulnerable children. When she meets Hunter, the sparks fly but what Hunter isn’t saying may be the one thing that they can’t overcome.

Hunter knows that Posey is the woman he didn’t know he was waiting for and he is determined to give her the love and life she has always wanted.

Seriously great!!!!

Omg still crying as I write this review. Reading a romance with tragic surroundings, such as kids in the system… Wow, incredibly sad circumstances but great people that try to help. I really loved Posey’s character, she really gave an insight on growing up in the system and her inner struggles, even when you are all grown up. Hunter was definitely my hero. He saved Destiny when he thought he failed Hope. Posey and Hunter’s romance was so real and beautiful to read its progression. Ok and all these epilogues were the freaking best. Never wanted them to stop. Going to look for another book by these authors

OMG readers! This book, this book - I was honored to have been asked to read this book prior to release, and OMG!

Posey and Hunter — oooh this story, enemies to lovers done brilliantly.

The best part of this book is the suspense that has been woven in, the intrigue is done so well, and leaves you breathless…. It will tug at your heart strings!

These authors are truly a force, the seamless way they build a story together is nothing short of amazing.

I loved Posey and Hunter - they are my absolute favorite characters thus far from these ladies.

Anything by this dynamic duo you know is going to be amazing and Until Posy is no different!! I love this “boom” series and this book did not disappoint. Hunter gets the shock of his life when Posy shows up with a baby and says she’s his. Now how to go through the land mines of this, while trying to let Posy know that he’s not a dog and didn’t leave his child or her mother. Especially when Posy has her own criteria when it comes to truth telling. Characters from previous books are here too which I love!!

Hunter goes undercover. To protect his family he agrees. Not knowing it gets complicated. Now he has a baby he’s responsible. A sassy, judgmental social worker in his life. Posey is a social worker who loves her job. When she meets him for the first time, she opens her mouth and hurts his feeling. They start to get close. Things are almost perfect. Till a secret is out that hunter has keep from her. Amazing book you won’t stop readying till the last page .

Great Follow Up To Until Ireland

Loved Posey & Hunters story and how it tied in with Until Ireland and Until Waverley. The sexual magnetism was there between them both right from the very start. Unfortunately, there were lots of obstacles in the way. A baby, Posey’s job as a social worker, a police investigation, lies and Hunters family. Can they get past all the obstacles or will it all end in tears?
I couldn’t give this 5 stars as I absolutely hated that Hunter called himself Daddy to Posey. For me it was cringeworthy especially when having sex and it seemed out of character. Hunter seems more of a sweetheart/babe kind of guy.

No organisation in their right mind would hire Posey as a social worker. She is the most selfish, whiny, stubborn piece of shit I’ve ever come across but you know what they say: misery loves company and she’d have let Destiny become exactly like her. I couldn’t fucking stand her. Nepotism won with her because anyone else would see how much of a dickhead she is and wouldn’t have given her a second look.

There is quite a build-up to one of the hottest BOOM stories to date, who would have thought that mechanic Hunter would have such a dirty mouth, but when Hunter knew that Posey was the one then getting her to be his is going to take all the magic of the boom, their story is not an easy journey, twists and turns at every corner, add in a Federal case, Posey as a social worker is dealing with a lot, so trusting Hunter is not going to be easy, but when the BOOM speaks it is only a matter of time before you can't help but see what was in front of you all along, especially with sizzling hot chemistry like this couple have.

Ok

This book was kind of okay , not really good but not really bad. I just found it slow, very slow. I could pick it up read a little bit ,move on and not think about it. I like a book that makes me wanna hurry back and read it, turn the pages faster, this book not so much. I say move on, read a different book. Shirley

There were a lot of little grammatical errors throughout, which got annoying. I didn’t care for either of the main characters; they were both annoying. The best part of the book was the epilogues at the end. I’ve never read anything by these authors and only got this book since it’s part of ARR’s Happily Ever Alpha series. I don’t think I’ll read the books about Hunter’s siblings.

I am not a fan of "Daddy" books so took a full star because it is just creepy gross.

I don't really like Posey, he is hardened, cold, judgmental and stringent. Black and white is her life, no grey allowed and no color. So took a 1 star away for her attitude.

Top tier!

The story line is fantastic. Pulls at the heart strings for sure. It’s not often when I can say I’m more invested into the male than the female, but let me tell you, you can’t help but to be all about Hunter! A great read for sure.

Oh Gosh

Not sure where to start. Was it good, yes. Was it great, no. I wanted to punch both Posey and Hunter several times. I love the foster/adoption angle and the family all banding together. I adored the epilogue and want to know more about Landon.
