Until You Say I Do by D.M. Davis this is book Three in the Until You Series. This is continues the story of story of Joseph and Samantha. I feel you will enjoy this story better if you have read the previous books first.
Joseph had me back and forth with my feeling for him but with Sam doing what she had been doing to protect him it was somewhat understandable.
Sam and Joseph are finally coming together to work toward their happy ending. They have had a rocky, dangerous and exciting story. But it was nice to read their happy ending!

I read an ARC copy of this.

This was another good read. I'm glad to see them FINALLY get their HEA. These two have been through a lot. I still can't believe how many people were involved in that mess and their reasons why. Thankfully it was all fixed in the end.

Until You Say I Do
is the third and final book in the Until You series. Samantha and Joseph have decided to marry each other but it’s not as easy as they hoped it would be…

Until You Say I Do was again the perfect sequel to the series and was such an amazing book. I couldn’t stop reading this book, just like I had with Until You Set Me Free and Until You Are Mine.

Until You Say I Do was just the book I needed to end this series. It wasn’t only steamy but also so hard to put down because a lot of things were happening. I was so curious to know who did what and why, but I had always fate in Samantha and Joseph! They are definitely the perfect book couple!

I’m glad that I stumbled upon this series because I loved it and I devoured it. The Until You series is definitely one of the best New Adult/Romance series I’ve read so far, and I’m so happy that D.M. Davis is writing a book about two other characters from the Until You series!

Oh my goodness. There was so much emotion to this story... Joseph and Samantha face so much over the course of this series...more heartache, drama and danger than two people should have to face. Just when things are looking up for the two, things take an ugly turn and seriously test the strength of their love and trust in each other. In order to get the most out of this series I highly recommend reading the series in order. There is so much depth to their story and each book builds on the events that transpire in the previous one. I really enjoyed how D.M. Davis developed the characters and the story, providing plenty of detail to really bring their love and all their trials and tribulations to life. I really felt like I got to know the characters over the course of the three books and am a little sad that the series is over (or perhaps there will be more with their life after marriage, or perhaps focused on Samantha's brother?)... I liked how the story alternated between Sam's and Joe's perspective...brought more depth to the story than if it was just from one or the other. Will look to read more by this author in the future.

Samantha and Joseph have been through so much when Until You Say I Do begins, and they have to go through even more by the time they make it to their hard won HEA. Not a lot I can say without giving spoilers, except that there is more pain, more tears, and lots and lots of love in this conclusion. So glad the Caveman and his Sweetness made it through to the other side!

I won't be continuing this series

WTF!! Like you have got to be kidding me! Nobody had any consequences to their horrid actions! Then I got a bad feeling and checked to see if a certian person is gettting their own book and sure enough she is!! Are you F*cking kidding me?!! Why should this person get away with every horrid thing she did, get rewarded and then get her own book!!! No, no, no , no...I'm out

* the H WAS RAPED!!! That woman should of had charges pressed against her. Especially after everything she did to help Veronica. She definitely shouldn't of had to just sign a paper that says I won't come back or bug you again 🙄

Wow Samantha and Joseph love each other so much. But so much to fight through with people trying to make her think he's not faithful or in love with her. But with help from family and friends they make it. This series is not for the weak of heart. A great read and the first three books are Hot!!

***Received an Advanced Readers Copy for a Blog Tour in exchange for an honest review***

Massive swoonage. Adorably sweet moments that makes you both tingle with feels and gag for the overly sweetness that makes me jealous. Really, this series had me hooked. I laughed until my stomach hurt, I cried, daydreamed about the romance - the emotional rollarcoaster is strong with this one.

What did I love most? Oh well I am going to tell you... obviously, and then you should read it.

First, it is finally happening. Samantha and Joseph have had a rough road leading up to Until You Say I Do. There has been fights, love lost, time lost, secret moments, passion, pain, sadness and more fights. The angst my comrades, it is all about the drama. Their happy ever after is quickly around the corner, they are finally building their future. 

Not only is their passion still fierce, but their growth has really evolved. Samantha really shined for me this go - having some real time to really develop as a human being, she has a different perspective on life, she isn't so much weak as the teenager she once was. She is more powerful in her mindset, more grounded. Though she is more assertive she still had these moments where she got under my skin. She still had that childish backbone, the crying, she definitely someone who is so easily altered that the emotional stability had me questing her sanity. I don't say this to be cruel or contradicting, but the crying... seriously. 

This of course brings us back to Joseph, though I do adore him, he too hit a point with me as well. As much as his romancing, sweet talking caveman brute would win me over, their romance was then and still is exhausting and overwhelming. I still stand by what I said previously, there is somewhat an unhealthy, almost toxic obsession developed in his ideal of romance. Though I loved it, I did, but their romance was definitely turning into this massive back and forth that left me quite conflicted. On the points I loved, it was a total beaver drool delicious; the passion, the chemistry was on point, but then on the other spectrum it had this tiresome air, or presence of plot that just seemed somewhat out of place.

But nonetheless, I finally got my happy ending. I needed them to figure life out. IT NEEDED TO HAPPEN, damnit. 

My only big issue that is still leaving me questing things is some of their secondary characters. Up to this point, I have liked how they played this part into the drama of the romance, but there was a point where need I admit the mother and Jace left me thinking they were useless. I needed to have the grow with Samantha and sadly, they let me down - they let Samantha down and I just cannot wrap my brain around as to why? 

I have said it before and I will say it again - this series was amazeballs. Wrap me up and call me buttercup because comrades, this was a delicious treat. I devoured this series and when I say I devoured the series, I literally mean I inhaled it. Absolutely amazing. I cannot wait to see what else Davis has up her sleeve when it comes time, she will very well be added to my auto buy author at this point.

This series has had me laughing, crying, happy, frustrated, and every other emotion you can imagine, however, it was all worth it as I read this third installment in the series. If you haven’t read the first two novels in the series, I highly suggest doing so before reading this novel and/or my review :)

It hasn’t been any easy road for Joseph and Samantha, but things are finally starting to look up as they are planning their future together. Until, ofcourse, bad memories from the past come back to haunt them causing danger, frustration, fear, and uncertainty.

I was initially aggravated to death by Joseph, wondering what sort of mess he had gotten himself into, but of course, he won me over as always, never making me doubt him for long. Samantha has definitely gotten strong and more assertive throughout this series, yet she still had several moments where she just frustrated me with her crying and whining. Don’t get me wrong, I love her and Joseph, but eventually their problems started getting a bit tiresome. Throughout this series, I must admit my favorite character is Michael. He absolutely gets a medal for most dedicated employee and friend of all time! My least favorite characters remain Samantha’s useless brother Jace, and her overly dramatic, selfish mother - both of which basically abandoned her after her father’s death.

Back to good stuff, I absolutely loved this novel and series. Until You Say I Do is the perfect finish to this series and wowed me with the chemistry, suspense, and love. I cannot recommend this series enough, just prepare to quickly become addicted!

🔥💓Will Joseph and Sam actually uncover the saboteur and make it to their 💒wedding?!😦
May 18, 2018
Format: Kindle Edition
I thought that the mystery threats part of this plot was great and the writing was excellently done. After the relationship saboteur was introduced, I suspected every chapter would bring a new hitch in the hero's and heroine's bid for happiness.

I have read all three books in the series and recommend that, to understand the heroine's angst, trust issues and the tragedy she is dealing with, the earlier books are read before this one. The earlier books also explain more about earlier obstacles in their romance; MCI (the company where they work), Samantha's career ambitions, secondary characters that recur throughout the series, and give needed background on Sam's broken family and Joseph's place in his. This really is not a standalone novel.

I would have given a higher rating but, for me, this is too padded with hot and heavy scenes. I got that the MCs are young and crazy in love, but the sizeable proportion of the story taken by their wild intimacies in and out of the bedroom distracted from rather than added to the plot IMO.

Joseph, the hero, was so accommodating, so loyal, so protective and patient
with Samantha: is anyone really this perfect as a partner?! I also found that the rapid reform of some of the characters tied up ends nicely but did not seem realistic.

I read a complimentary advance copy of the book; this is my voluntary and honest review.

As we pick up the third and final story in this series, we learn Joseph is now VP of Product and Technology at MCI, his family's company. He is exactly where he wants to be except his love is about to finish her final semester at SMU which means another brief separation.

And speaking of women, it seems his new PA missed the talk about proper protocol at work, in particular the part about "coming on" to her employer! A real complication which gets resolved with some input from his brother. Changes are made and Sam steps in as Joseph's PA until a replacement can be found, and if that's not enough drama, it seems there are some jealous employees at MCI trying to undermine Sam.

Just about the time everyone is finally getting back some sense of normal in their lives, chaos once again surrounds Joseph and Sam so the security team is called back in place. With her final semester about to finish and their wedding to take place in a couple of months...life is once again on high alert. On some level it seems the bullet that killed her father is still ricocheting through her life. When will it stop?

High emotion on all fronts, deep love is challenged and no one is safe until they learn who is behind the chaos and why. This is one of the very best series I have read and am looking forward to what D.M. Davis has in store for her readers in the future.

I have pre purchased this story as I had to read the conclusion of Samantha & Joseph's story. I also received it as an ARC before the published date.
I re-read the first 2 books just recently to refresh the story & when I finished, I was really hanging out for the rest (hence why I pre purchased lol).
I gave 4 stars as I felt the story line was too sexual, which tended to overtake the drama side of the story.
I love Samantha's character she has been so focused on what she wanted to achieve from a very young age, but she has so many self doubts, it's sad, especially as she has had no one to support her.
Joseph is intense, he knows what he wants to achieve in the family business, but, he's besotted with Samantha & he's become the support she's needed in her life.
I had a feeling that I knew, before I read, who the trouble maker could be....why I re-read the first 2 books & yes, I got it right. Giving myself a pat on the back for that one. lol! lol
I really enjoyed this read & it had me grabbing for the tissues, constantly, not to mention, being awake reading when I should have been asleep. lol
This is a story that I will gladly read again, not to mention looking forward to the next instalment with Fin.
No spoilers from me. lol

What a wild ride book 3 in the Until You Series took me on! This series has been amazing and book 3 did not disappoint. I was feeling all the feels throughout the entire book and on the edge of my seat for a huge majority wondering what was going to happen. Just like the other books in the series, there are some suspenseful moments that had me trying to guess who was behind everything and who was telling the truth.


Sam and Joseph still light up the pages with their amazing chemistry, however Sam's doubts about being good enough for someone on like Joseph still play on her mind. When strange things start happening Sam begins to question everything she knows about her and Joseph's relationship. However, Joseph isn't going down without a fight. Full of very, very steamy moments and some heartbreaking ones too I was on a roller coaster of emotions.


I love the characters in this series. Joseph's brothers and his security team are some of my favorites and I would love to see some spin off books telling their stories.


This is a must read series for sure. - By Alisa

Until You Say I Do was such a good romance read that had steamy scenes, a bit of suspense and a sweet ending. Readers that have read the previous book will be happy with the ending in this one. I absolutely loved Joseph's character and enjoyed him a lot in this book. Samantha was steal dealing with her securities and if she wasn't dealing with her doubts, she was either having sex or crying for some reason. Don't get me wrong the sex scenes were hot but that was basically all I got from Samantha in this book. With that being said, I still enjoyed it because there was a bit of suspense in the story that left readers wanting to know who was behind everything. I also enjoyed Michael, Finn, Matt, Fiona and Jace's character. Jace deserved a second chance. This book did leave me wondering if there will be more books about the other characters in this series. I enjoyed this book and I look forward to reading more books from this author in the future.

What a journey!
Sam and Joe have been through so many things to be together.
Between Sam's insecurities, the killer on the loose, they finally get together.
I thought that was it, right? No more bad things could happen to them...
Well, I guessed wrong. There are still bad things happening to them.
I dislike how Sam lets her insecurities come up and question Joe's loyalty.
Doesn't he prove enough? He does everything for her. Yet she still questions him.
So, I really like it when Sam finally put her brilliant brain on track.
She knows Joe loves her so much, he could give her the world for it.
aaaaaaand....finally...Sam and Joe get their HEA!

Amazing

I couldn't put my kindle down at all. 2 hours of sleep and finished the last 2 chapters. Such an amazing story. I've read the first 2 books 3 times and I couldn't wait for the 3rd book to come out. Joseph and Samantha are so loyal to each other. You don't find relationships like theirs this day and age. What Sam has gone thru in 2 years are awe inspiring and I'm amazed she's still such a wonderful person. Joseph has the patience of a saint. And he really gets dragged thru the ringer in this book. I was hoping for a epilogue to what the are doing 1 or 2 years later. Do they have kids and what happens when Sam finally graduates college.

A Review of Until You Say I Do by D.M. Davis

Joseph and Samantha - 4.5 Stars

As the third and final book in the series, I was excited to finally see this come out. After Jace's betrayal that nearly destroyed Joe and Sam, they were more than ready to move past those issues and on to the rest of their life together. Trust that is hard won is easier broken again and Sam will have to decide if she can believe what her heart is telling her. There are more twists and turns that will try to derail their happily ever after wedding, so hang on tight for the ride of your life. Absolutely worth the wait.

This is the third and final book of the Until You series.

Samantha and Joseph are set to get married, but the road to married life is not the smoothest.

This couple have already been through so much but they remain strong and with a HEA in sight they still have so much more to navigate.
With the past becoming a big part of the present they are tested as individuals and a couple.

This is the perfect ending to a series that has given so much. I loved watching the characters grow and their relationship evolve.Filled with a mix bag of emotions this book had me hooked!!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! Joseph and Samantha are two of my most favorite characters. Their journey has been incredible and I know that anyone who reads this book will have a hard time putting it down. Of course though, the road to happily ever after isn't always paved in gold but through these struggle is the real test of any relationship and Samantha and Joseph have conquered so much already and nothing can come between them or can it all come crashing down? Only one way to find out!! Take the journey with Joe and Sam!!

This is an amazing love story. I've never met a man so in tuned to his woman. This story drives home how insecure a woman can be about the man who has her heart. The truth is with so much evidence against Joseph, I understand Samantha's pain. The truth is the only time they were really apart from each other is when he went to Vegas. Trust is the founding factor to any relationship, and evil finds a way to destroy what is good. Samantha and Joseph are good together.

This is the third book in The Until You Series. This is the story of Samantha and Joseph and their roller coaster romance. It's best to read the first two books so you will get more character development of the main characters. This is a book about trust. Samantha was insecure in many ways. Lots of drama, a trouble maker and tons of sex. No spoiler here, but are they able to work out their problems and pursue a happy life together? I read a reader copy and voluntarily chose to write a review.

Samantha and Joseph are so perfect together.
I love how much the author writes Joseph's strengths and his emotional connection to Samantha. He never gives up on her and doesn't let her give up on him.

Joseph and Samantha have came so far and then to have all the cards stacked against them yet again. The relationship between the two is just amazing, course it could be better as Joseph will point out. I love all the twist and turns and there were a few I didn’t foresee coming in this one.
