Until You – I liked to party. I slept around. I did only me. My trust was little. My heart was mine.
Hunter Evans was known in Happy Endings, but not for the man he could be. No, he was known for sleeping around, partying and not taking life serious.
Until You – I would drown myself in work. I had boring relationships. I laughed little. I wanted more. My heart belonged to me.
Murphy Reed summered in Happy Endings when she was young. Deciding she needs time away from her never changing, predicable, boring life – she is drawn to the place she once spent so much time.
When Murphy discovers Hunter the playboy, she figures this is exactly what she needs. Hunter, however, shocks her causing her to question everything.
When two different worlds collide, the outcome is sure to be a disaster – Right? Or maybe life just hadn’t begun Until You.
Heather Dahlgren writes Contemporary Romance, sprinkling each book with a bit of humor, a lot of naughty and true love. She self-published her first book in 2014 and continues to do so today. Her over active mind promises the stories are in no short supply.
Heather grew up and still resides at the Jersey shore. She loves being so close to the Atlantic Ocean and the Pine Barrens. She is surrounded by the best of both worlds.
She is married to her high school sweetheart and has three kids. There is nothing more important in the world to her then her family.
When Heather isn’t writing you can find her getting lost in a great book, spending time with family and helping her fellow authors.
Murphy is a sassy lawyer missing something in her life. She wants to have fun, and enjoy her life. Not sit and watch the clock tick her life away, which sends her back to her childhood home Happy Endings Resort.
Hunter isn't one for a relationship but women come and go from his bed, giving him the manwhore title. He doesn't trust women, definitely doesn't care about their feelings until her.
Don't let this story being a Novella fool you, it gives you everything a novel could and more. Sexy, sweet and emotional. Heather never fails to bring you two strong leading characters that you can fall in love with. This story had me laughing out loud, flipping the pages in excitement and clenching my chest with worry in the climax of the story. A must read and definitely recommend!
This was a very HOT book. I loved Hunter, and hope you will all give this book a whirl. Murphy is a lawyer who needs a break from her stressful city life. She heads down to the Happy Endings Resort where Hunter works construction. They meet and it isn't at all how you'd expect the night to go. This is a cute, funny story that will leave you completely happy at the end. Loved it, love this author.
I've read a few books by this author. It's usually hit or miss with her. I prefer when she writes in multi author series tho because her books are half the length. She has a habit of writing about nothing, not keep facts straight and throwing in unnecessary drama in her longer books.
I don't care much for this FMC. Accusing a guy of taking advantage without proof is just wrong. Stixx and Cyber you'd her that he's a player, not that he's a rapist.
"When we get to High Bar, I’m not surprised to see the amount of people here since it’s open mic night" The page before his buddy said there was a band playing lol this is what I mean about not keeping facts straight.
“You’re right, I don’t know you, but I clearly know your type. You sleep around, never giving a shit about anyone else but yourself. Sometimes you don’t even bother to get to know more than her name. Am I getting warm?” Still doesn't make him a rapist. And she didn't want anything more than to have a one night stand anyway.
"I talked to Rory, the owner of Happy Endings Resort, and She helped Murphy get a job with Jason Duke." Thanks for reminding us of poor Jason who was screwed over for his HEA
A short story whose main characters are a woman who is a workaholic leading a boring life in all respects and a man who is the town’s prolific sex machine. He has also never been in a relationship being a one and done kinda guy!
Enjoyed the story but glad it also is a one and done.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a quick short read but packed with so much emotion. Hunter and Murphy's romance starts off with a supposed one night stand. But for some reason Hunter can't seal the deal with the drunken Murphy instead he spends the night taking care of her and being the good guy for once. The next morning she thinks he is a complete liar about what happened and is repulsed by him. But why can se not keep the lying playboy off of her mind? This was the first time I have read anything form this author and I can tell you now that it want be the last! Love love love this book and could read it again and again. Defiantly a 5 star read!
I love Heather's books. They are hot, steamy but also have some story in them. SO it's not all about sex. I like to get to know the characters and Heather gives you this opportunity with her every book.
In here we meet sassy lawyer, Murphy, who feels like she is missing something in her life. She decides to visit her childhood place and simply be her. There she meets Hunter. Handsome and sexy but he is not a one woman man. He is not here to settle. He just wants to have fun. He doesn't trust women because of his past. Until he meets Murphy. And she changes everything for him. Just like he changes everything for her.
It was a really enjoyable, steamy read and I liked it a lot.
4 stars from me :)

Until You is the perfect novella and quite frankly it moved and aroused me, all within this perfect little package. Hunter is just so sweet, sexy as hell and a good guy in need of healing. Murphy, awe she was just so lost and her lif had become so beige...she needed a reboot, STAT! I loved the passion, tender unveiled vulnerability and frankness these two had with one another. This story was full of emotion, I got a little choked up, and yummy sexual chemistry. I was smiling through out and loved seeing these two fall in love. This book has been added to my book hangover shelf, ya know, just a bright break when you can't move on from the last book? I'll reread this one for sure.
Murphy, first of all strange name for a girl but she's pretty cool well up to the almost end there where I wanted to bitch slap her hurting Hunter. I'm glad she got her head back on right because who in the right mind would go back to boring. Oh God Hunter I just wanted to hug him when he talked about women always leaving him especially his momma. Took me back to when it happened to my baby girl. Imagining his sad voice when he saw Murphy doing exactly what he was afraid of. Awesome story but there are a few grammar errors I would go back and read through the story again and fix them.
I loved this, Heather gives us a great short read but it packs so much emotion between Hunter and Murphy.
When your heart needs to choose, job or love, loving or not to love. opening yourself up to a whole life of possibilities but what if that one person walks and leaves just like those before.
Hunter and Murphy are well developed characters and work well together, there chemistry is real and sizzles.
Murphy leads a fast paced boring life. Hunter is the player. Murphy comes to happy endings resort to get away from her boring life. She sees Hunter but is warned out him. They meet and things change for each of them. Love tlhe fact that she leaves him to go back instead of the guy leaving. Cute story of love and happy endings. Another awesome book by Heather.

I loved this book, the characters are awesome. Murphy is in need of a break, so she heads down to Happy Endings Resort. .......Hello Hunter, Hunter is working construction and he's not hurting in getting women, it comes easy, he doesn't do relationships but when he meet Murphy that might just change. this was a very enjoyable read, loved it.
Until You (Happy Endings Resort Series #11) by Heather Dahlgren was a great read for someone who doesn’t want to read a long book. It was a sweet romance that had some heat. You have Hunter your confirmed player and you have Murphy who is looking for more. I thought the chemistry between the two characters was great weather they were flirting or bickering at each other. This book definitely lives up to the happy ending part. This is a book that you can enjoy again and again.
