What a pleasant surprise this book turned out to be. Sometimes this author has the bad habit of leaving out HUGE swatches of a couple's story which then makes for a confusing and underdeveloped read. Thankfully, that was not the case here. This book starts right up where UNTIL HARMONY left off. So no huge gaps in the timeline or missing encounters between the main couple. However, there were a couple of loose ends that I would have liked to have seen tied up a bit. The biggest being Hadley's father, and if he was indeed the person who broke into her apartment and if anything ever came of that?
Now, if you are at all familiar with ARR, then you can probably guess what I am going to say from here on out. This was a straightforward and easy peasy read. There was really no angst. No OW or OM drama. Very little pushing away (by the heroine). Hot sex scenes. A fantastic cast of secondary characters. We even get a quick peek at who I assume will be up next (December). I'm a bit on the fence and genuinely hope there isn't going to be any drama between the sisters. However, I wasn't overly thrilled that April was lusting over and planning to sleep with whom I assume is going to be the hero of December's book. I'll just keep my fingers crossed on that front. Both Hadley and Cobi were likable main characters. Like I mentioned above, Hadley was a little reluctant at first, but nothing over the top. Cobi was all in from the minute he met Hadley. Last, we get a couple very sweet epilogues that will leave you with a smile on your face.

Until Cobi brings us back to the Mayson's with Cobi and his Boom, Hadley Emerson. The story starts off right where Until Harmony's big ending scene left us, with Cobi holding an unconscious Hadley in his arms and acting hella-protective of her. Like the past Mayson's with their heroines, once Cobi found Hadley he refused to let her go and became a possessive Alpha type of hero that had me swooning.
I'm a huge fan of ARR's heroes for that very reason, they're overbearing and ridiculous sometimes with just what they'll do in order to make sure their heroines are okay and yet I never hate them. In real life I would definitely be hitting them in with a heavy pan, but in romance leans I just swoon all over myself. And Cobi was no different, I adored him from that first growl on page on and I never lost that love for him.
The story was also very easy to enjoy and was a pretty quick read. There wasn't a ton of angst or drama thrown in so the story had an easy flow to it from start to finish. The only thing bad I could say about it is that the stuff with Hadley's parents didn't exactly seem all that necessary, which wasn't a big deal, but at the end of the book I was left questioning if we were ever going to get a definitive answer about the break in at Hadley's place.

I have been a fan of Aurora Rose Reynolds ever since reading (and loving) "Until November" I have read every single book in all the Until, Until Her and Until Him series. I am usually not a big fan of insta-love but I gladly make an exception for the BOOMS in the Mayson family ;)
This time it's (dirty-talking) Cobi Mayson's turn to be struck and he sure gets hit hard when he lays eyes on Hadley for the first time ;) If you've read the previous book, Until Harmony, you already know how and why they meet...
The possessive alpha "caveman" comes out the minute he meets her.
Hadley is still very much shaken up by the events of the previous book. Being raised in a completely different environment than Cobi...she doesn't quite know how to deal with all the care and attention that he is giving her. No worries though...Cobi is pretty determined to win her over ;)
Of course, she can't help but give in to him eventually....I mean this is Cobi Mayson after all !! Which is a good thing, because someone will need to keep her safe since evil is still afoot !!
I have loved each book in all the Until series and this one was no exception. The problem, however, is that I am already craving more !!
I just hope we will get "December's" book soon... Maybe in December ?? Wouldn't that be awesome
One more thing... I would not advise reading this book as a stand alone. I don't think you will have to read all the books from all series (you totally should), but you should definitely read "Until Harmony" before reading this one
I highly recommend this series....and any other book by this author.

"I have withing my grasp something most people will never really understand."
Until Cobi is the seventh book in the Until Series. A stand-alone contemporary romance with passion, romance, and an action-packed plot, "the boom" continues to captivate me and keep me tuning in for more! Cobi Mayson has set his eyes on Hadley Emerson. Hadley has recently experienced trauma and Cobi is one alpha hot detective who isn't afraid to stake his claim on her and help her heal. Hadley is, of course, hesitant to trust him after she has been through so much. Eventually, the Mayson charm kicks in and Hadley gives in. It doesn't take long for Cobi to make Hadley his and yet, the danger is looming around every corner.
"Nothing feels better than being in you, nothing better than being with you, but really nothing better than you coming on my cock."Told in multiple POV, Until Cobi is another Reynolds winner with one smoking hot alpha male and the spunky woman he is determined to make his. As always the Mayson family plays a prominent role in the read as the family is an important element of this series. The connection is fast and the execution is always flawless. It doesn't seem to matter how many characters emerge from this world, I will never get enough of the Mayson Clan!
"Until the End."Overall, Until fans will be happy to get more of "the Boom" because Reynolds always brings her A game! As long as she is writing, my kindle and I are waiting!

I have gotten to the point that I feel like I am visiting old friends or family when I read a story about the Mayson clan. They are steadfast and a strong family unit. Always there for one another. This story was no exception. You could tell that Cobi was raised by those Mayson boys because he was a replica of them. He reminded me of Nico (who is my all time favorite book boyfriend). He even went on to be a cop like Nico did. It seemed that maybe Uncle Nico had a big influence on him.
There was one aspect of the story in was unclear about and that was the matter of the break in. I kept thinking something was going to come of that.
HERO~ Cobi was a fantastic hero. Strong, brave, protective and sexy. He knew the minute he saw Hadley that she was his. They never referred to the BOOM but if you have read any of these books, you know. He didn't let Hadley push him away and was so patient with her. Definitely a hero in my book.
HEROINE~ Hadley had been through a lot in her life. A crummy home life as a child with no one who really cared except her best friend Brie. She initially tried VERY hard to push Cobie away. Thankfully between Brie and Cobi, she finally gave in and chose happiness.
SEXUAL HISTORY~ Neither were virgins. No real talk about their sexual past at all.
OM/OW DRAMA ~ None
STEAM Definitely the steam we have come to love from ARR
VIOLENCE None of a sexual nature
SECONDARY CHARACTERS Some great family time with the Mayson gang, as well as her best friend Brie and her fiance Kenyon. I was a little put off by the set up of Decembers story for the mere fact that April, December's sister is hot for who I assume is going to be the hero, Gareth. I hope the drama isn't going to be based on the sisters.
SAFETY I would say safe with exception. Hadley knew of Cobi in high school but he didnt remember her. Basically everyone crushed on him. If that was not mentioned it would have been completely safe
ENDING~ Fantastic epilogue. I LOVE that even though it is a long running series, we get a fantastic epilogue years and years into the future.

The best thing I loved about Until Cobi was that he was relentless in his pursuit of Hadley. I love it when a hero sees what he wants and just goes after it. He didn't take no for an answer which is good since Hadley had some hangups about her parents. Another great one to add to the series!
-OTT possessive hero
-shy and a bit insecure heroine
-quite a bit of suspense

Until November is a book I’ve re-read so many times I’ve lost count. And while I’ve read most of the others that remains my favourite.
I’ve found the latest series a bit hit and miss but the cover drew me to this one.
I love the Maysons and their Boom.
Cobi like all the Mayson men is fabulous. Hadley’s upbringing was the opposite of his. Her parents were more bothered about drugs than their daughter. And nothing has changed.
You know how this goes but I loved these two and really enjoyed this book.
Now I read this without reading Harmony first. I did start it a while ago but I didn’t get very far. Reviews say I should have read that first so that’s my next read.

In in love with Cobi and Hadley!!!
This book starts in the timeline towards the end of Harmony's book. If you remember, Hadley is the girl who called the police when Harmony was kidnapped and then preceded to follow Harmony and the kidnapper without concern for her own safety. In Harmony's book, I knew I was going to love Hadley and I wasn't wrong. I enjoyed getting to know Hadley and Cobi in this book.
I was hoping to get a resolution of who broke into Hadley's home, but we never did. I also wanted to know if her landlord, Tom, was really a former mobster hiding out in witness protection.
I am excited about December getting her book with this new guy Gareth! I love reading about the large Mayson family. There are a LOT of siblings and cousins, so I know that Ms. Reynolds has a lot of stories to write. I just wished that she could write super-fast so she could churn out a book every week. LOL!

Until Cobi was the seventh book in Aurora Rose Reynolds’ Until Him series. It picked up exactly where the previous book, Until Harmony, left off.
Cobi Mayson was the son of Trevor and Liz Mayson (Until Trevor, original Until series). He was gorgeous, a cop, loyal to family and totally Mayson overprotective, alpha.
Hadley Emerson had a rough childhood but overcame all the odds to become a successful and loyal social worker dedicated to helping kids like her. We met her in the previous book when she had just witnessed a kidnapping and helped to follow the woman, Harmony Mayson, until police could get on the scene and take over. The first cop on the scene was Cobi Mayson and the saga began.
I love all of Reynolds’ books in her three Until series (Until, Until Him and Until Her). I love the Mayson family, their loyalty, their fierceness, their bond, their male alpha dominance, and their female strength and sassiness. Until Cobi was no exception. True to form, Reynolds also included a suspenseful storyline filled with complexity, depth and dimension.
In the end, Until Cobi was another feel good story with a forever love. Reynolds also prepped us for December’s story next in Until December and I can’t wait!

Happy Comfortable 3 Stars
A enjoyable addition to the Until series, the earlier books are fab but I haven't been overly keen on some of the books framed around the second generation, that wasn't an issue with this book. Overall I enjoyed this.
Cobi is just like his dad (Trevor) and uncles a perfect fit for Hadley. Hadley is a sweetheart with a lot of strength, and watching her open up to Cobi was lovely to see.
If you want a light enjoyable read, a possessive caring alpha male and a strong female this is the book for you.

Not quite but super duper duper close to 5 stars!
It's no secret that ARR is one of my absolute favorite authors! If she writes it, I'm reading it. It's that simple.
And lucky for me, this one was damn near perfect. Colby and Harmony's story was previewed a bit in the last book and I couldn't wait. Luckily, it was so worth the wait!
The BOOM strkes again and boy oh boy, did I love it. Colby was EVERY SINGLE THING I love about ARR alphas. He's bossy, growly, and badass. Pure Yum!!
When he encounters Harmony at a crime scene (yep, you read that right) he's a goner. The boom hits him and I fell for him immediately. He's protective of Harmony and goes as slow as necessary not to freak her out, but let's be honest....a man claiming a woman out of the blue will freak out any normal person. But Harmony eventually catches on. They were especially great together. Her lack of a solid family and his huge loving family was particularly great to experience. I loved it!

Despite the bad guys coming out of the woodwork in this one... I was beyond bored.
Insta obsession before he even knows her name. Blah blah blah I am mr. perfect and I must have you... blah blah blah... I am insecure because of scum sucking parents... blah blah blah... Ok lets F like bunnies... blah blah blah
Even the audio reader was 'meh'.
And that's it.
I'm done with this author.

Until Cobi was another fantastic installment in the Until Him series by the queen of Alpha heroes and creator of the Boom. Nobody writes sizzling hot, low-angst and entertaining insta love stories like Aurora Rose Reynolds. It's her trademark and the reason why I'm completely addicted to her books. They are my favorite form of escape. I'm craving the feelings her books always leave me with - pure happiness and contentment. It's so easy to connect with her endearing characters. The Mayson clan is my favorite book family. I swear I want to be a part of them in another life.
Those of you who have read Until Harmony have already been introduced to Hadley. She was the brave woman who followed the kidnapper's car and alarmed the police of the abduction. I truly admired Hadley for this selfless act. That's how she and Cobi meet since he is one of the police officers who are called to the crime scene. He feels drawn to her from the very beginning like a moth to a flame. Sweet and shy Hadley, who is a social worker by profession, awakens a strong protective instinct in him. Cobi knows that she needs him in order to feel safe, although she is too proud and stubborn to admit it. Hadley didn't have an easy childhood with two useless parents who never cared for her and showed her love and affection. Her best friend Brie and her fiancée Kanyon are the only people in her life she can lean on - until Cobi Mayson shows up at her door demanding not only entrance into her home but also her heart. Strange and alarming things keep happening to Hadley making her question if the occurances are somehow connected? Can the man she is falling for keep her safe and sound?
I can't emphasize enough how much I've loved the great chemistry between Hadley and Cobi. Their dialogues were so funny and full of banter. Although Cobi was sometimes very bossy and cocky he was also very understanding and kind. He was the perfect man for Hadley. One who will always stand by her side and support her. Hadley is such an admirable woman. She managed to make something out of her life despite her past. The reason why she chose her profession was to help children who went through the same as her.
Although she is a quiet and reserved woman she had a strong backbone. They both reminded me so much of Liz and Travor with their dynamics.
This beautiful story showed us that blood makes you related but not necessarily a family. Loyalty, respect and love are the pillars and foundation of a family. I have to applaud Aurora for conveying such an important and strong message.
I've savored every single chapter of this story because I never wanted it to end. As a die-hard fan of this series and author I've to say that this is one of my favorite Until books. I recommend it from the bottom of my avid reader's heart. Aurora is going to put you under her magical spell and make you begging for your next Alpha fix. I'm therefore giving Until Cobi 5+ boombastic stars!

5 ‘Mayson’s Dirtiest Talker’ Stars
Boy, oh boy… Or should I say, MAN, oh MAN! Because there is nothing boyish about Cobi Mayson: he’s all ALPHA! I think neither us, nor poor Hadley knew what was coming her way when she crossed paths with Cobi! *fanning myself*
I absolutely adore these series, both the Original Mayson and now both new generation ones, so I’m always giddy with excitement anytime a new Until book is announced and this was no exception, specially after that teasing ending on Until Harmony where we were left beyond curious about Hadley and Cobi after the snippet from his POV.
Well, their story ended up surpassing my expectations, and Cobi, OMG, he went straight to my fav ARR H list!
When I’m not with her I’m thinking about her and when I’m with her I’m thinking about all the things I want to be doing to her.
She’s a mystery to me. A mystery I want to spend the rest of my life trying to solve.
Since the moment she looked into my eyes I knew who she was to me, knew exactly what she meant for my future. Knew that she was MINE.
Swoon-worthy, attentive, protective, Alpha with a capital A this man couldn’t be topped of. Truly all the best qualities that made us fall in love with this Mayson men, Cobi had in spades, so when Hadley practically fell in his arms after a life threatening situation, not only his BOOM radar went off, but also all his Alpha male protective instincts took over. IN more ways than one, it was a life changing moment for both of them.
Hadley knew of Cobi from High School, but had never once expected that the popular boy would steal the breath out of her after the terror she had been through that night, much less that he would take charge and take care of her from then on. Something that, considering her sad and heartbreaking background, no one had done before: put her first.
What made me fall even more for this man was his devotion and attentiveness towards her. Considering the Mayson's BOOM effect, I’d say he controlled himself quite well, and though unmoving in his intention, and his care for her, paid attention to her reactions and skittishness. He was so thoughtful, but still sure and strong. So much so that I was pleasantly surprised this ended up being more on the slow burn side – for a Mayson he was very patient, still caveman, but in a smoother way, lol – of the Mayson’s insta-love, he completely stole my heart, and when things took motion and sexy times started happening and he revealed his dirty talking side… OMG!!! He took the Boom to a whole new level of SCORCHING hot!!!
“Can’t fucking wait to feel this cunt squeezing my cock. Do you know how good it’s going to feel when I slide inside you? Know how good it’s going to feel when I fill you full with me?”
“You’re mine Hadley, mine until I take my last breath.”
He should come with a warning label! This level of Alpha male hotness can be dangerous! And combined with all his other fantastic qualities, it’s a lethal combo: to heart and panties everywhere, lol.
Hadley was an amazing character, beautifully crafted and her emotions and past really came forward and we could feel her yearning and sadness. Her pain and her disappointment towards her family brought me to tears more than once and I was so joyfully happy that she found Cobi. He would no doubt give her all her heart’s desire, and more, Something she had lost hope for long ago: a true FAMILY, in the form of the amazing Mayson clan.
I want that for her more than I want anything else, I want her to know deep down to her bones that she belongs, that she can be herself and that she has a family. Because one thing I know for certain is that at the end of the day the unconditional love a family can bring you is what will make you stronger as an individual.
Told you, perfect Alpha through and through!
Evidently, he had a couple of moments were his Mayson’s OTT Alphaness took over, but that is part of their charm, and their women sure know hoe to handle them, and Hadley was no different. She was so strong and independent that he had his work cut out for him, but he also loved every second of her sassiness and even the stubbornness at times.
“One thing you’ll learn pretty quickly sweetheart is these Mayson men know how to use their words to piss you off one minute and melt your heart the next.”
I’ve never met a man like him before and know that’s because men like him only exists in romance novels, fairytales and Disney Movies, but somehow he’s living and breathing.
Truly fairy tale like – and HOTTER version, that is, lol!
Until Cobi has now taken over as one of my all time favorite ARR stories, considering I devoured it like a decadent chocolate cake, enjoying every second of it, and again with that teasing moment with December – OMG, my heart broke for her! – I’ll be here anxiously awaiting and counting down the days until Ms. Reynolds gives us more Alpha goodness! Can’t freaking wait!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
She’s my every hope, dream and wish mixed into the perfect package.
She’s perfect… perfect for me.
“Until the end, until one of us cease to exist we belong to each other.” Tears fill my eyes and I rest my mouth on his.
“Until the end.”

Until Cobi by Aurora Rose Reynolds is book Three in the Until Him Series and book Seven in the Until Her Series. This is the story of Hadley Emerson and Cobi Mayson. I haven't yet read any of the previous books, so for me this was a standalone book. I will say it starts with him already knowing her name and her passed out in his arms...so I thinking that what happened before maybe was covered in the previous book. So I hope to go back and read that one if not all in this series.
Cobi knows that Hadley is his from the first encounter but he tries to go slow with Hadley to get her where he is at. I am all about possessive alpha males and this one clicked all the checks for me...that one of the main reason for the high rating. It was a great story but nothing makes me weak that a strong alpha male.

Since the moment I picked up Until November I have been a little obsessed with Aurora Rose Reynolds and the amazing Mayson family. And with every new boom my obsession just gets stronger. They are instant one clicks.
Until Cobi has lived up to the perfection I always know I will get from this series. I am such a sucker for the insta love that comes with the Mayson family BOOM. And I love the fact that even though the story carries on from the previous book, I can pick it up months after I have put it down and not need to worry about what I have forgotten (everything).
Naturally Cobi was the typical possessive, protective, growly alpha. And of course I loved everything about him. Hadley was sweet and I was just as big a fan of hers as I was Cobi's.
Of course Aurora has given us a little peek into the next couple and now I guess I will just go back to stalking her while I wait for it's release.

Just like the other books in the series this can be read as stand-alone or out of order however ARR refers to other books so you may run into a spoiler or two.
I enjoyed Cobi's book and thought he was as sweet as the rest of his family. He's as no doubt a serious protector and will do anything for his family and friends. He takes one look at Hadley and knew she was the one.
Hadley is thrust into Cobi's world and can't get out of it. While I loved their instant chemistry, Hadley was getting a bit annoying. She had a hard time deciding if she wanted him or not. If it wasn't for his persistence they never would have survived.
Like with the other books , it's a simple read with no over the top drama or angst. The storyline is a bit formulaic but still enjoyable. There were a few storylines that needed to be a little tighter but it was still enjoyable. The ending left me a little on edge but I have faith in the author and hoping she'll find December her perfect partner.

5+ shiny stars
That was super cute, super sweet and so freaking steamy... And I loved it!
We meet Hadley, our heroine, right at the end of Harmony's story when she saves her life. And I honestly loved her character for that.
Well, apparently I wasn't the only one because Cobi, our cop hero, was right there as well. And that very first scene in the book when she loses consciousness and he keeps her in his arms and doesn't want anyone to touch her?
Fuck me! I was sold!
And you'll be as well.
Definitely lands on my favourite list.
Will reread it soon.
So freaking good!!

Author Aurora Rose Reynolds knows how to give us a sexy alpha that will do anything to protect his and Cobi Mayson is a chip of the Mayson Men!!!
He tried to fight whatever he felt towards Hadley but once that BOOM, BOOMS there is no stopping it. Hadley's never had someone fight and show her that she is that special until Cobi does.
There's suspense, sexiness and so much chemistry between these two that I kept feeling a BOOM myself ;-) Kara ~4 Booming Stars

I loved this one. Great read. I put faithful since meeting because even though she knew of him in school, they actually never met. Worth a read. https://storiesinreview971130128.word...

It was okay, insta-love and all. I didn't understand, though, why he fell for her; there's no explanation at all. Some push and pull also happened because Hadley (28) thinks people will judge her when they find out her parents were junkies and have been arrested so many times. I think she tried to fight her attraction up until the middle of the story. But, of course, she eventually gave in. Nothing much happens in this book, actually. I found myself skimming some parts.
Also, if this isn't fiction, what Cobi (31) did was harassment and trespassing because he wouldn't leave her alone even when she asked him to. I guess I'll just be fine with it because, just from one look at her, he already decided she's his, and he'd do anything to make it happen. I think we have to admire his tenacity in wanting to achieve his goal. 🤷♀️
I did have a bit of fun, but I could do without having to know that they used to go to the same high school, but he didn't know her because he was a senior and she was a freshman at the time.
Also, he had girlfriends but never introduced anyone to his parents because he knew those relationships would never go anywhere. So why did he date those women, if that's the case?
I didn't appreciate him telling her not to go to a strip club when his own cousin was the organizer. Yet when she asked him if he'd been to one, he said not since they got together. 😒 Thank God, Hadley still went to the club and still had her own fun, but I was irked that Cobi and the other half of his cousins were watching them from the shadow. 🥴
Anyway, I'm actually worried about Hadley having to go through two gun-pointing incidents, in the previous book and in her own book. How many face-offs with a criminal does she have to go through? I'm surprised this woman hasn't lost it yet. 🤷♀️ Moreso, I'm amazed she hasn't become dehydrated yet with the number of times she cried here. 🫠 I didn't know that a fictional person could cry so much. 😅
Overall, this was okay, but I wasn't invested in it. I didn't like their romance or how they ended up together. It was too sudden, and I still don't understand how that really happened. While I didn't enjoy this as much as I'd hoped to, I hope other readers might find it more to their liking.

One of the best of the Until Him/Her series.
I liked Cobi — def knew what he wanted and went for it. No mention of him being a manwhore and considering he’s a Mayson THATS huge! In fact, he was known as being nice to everyone in high school.
Hadley was ok. She waffled some and it did become annoying but Cobi won her over.
I found the story to be anticlimactic though. Just as the drama hits the book ends!
High point was Trevor and Liz made two very small appearances and were as forgettable as always.
December’s book is next and I’m not sure about it due to it appearing to involve April a lot - I’ve disliked April since Until July.

I couldn't read it... no more...
* insta love
* no build up
* gaps in plot line
* hero is behaving in a way that will only fly in books EVER
So fault is mine. Mea culpa.
I could guess this would happen starting this read.
Whatever....
Can't pinky promise I won't read any other book in this series.

Couldn't stand the h.
Couldn't stand the H.
Couldn't stand the secondary characters.
Again the word BABY is overused.
Everything sounds exactly like the previous 10 books.
Why bother to finish it?
