Front man for East of Addiction.

A rock God.

Easton Evans has everything he ever wanted. To be a part of a world-famous rock band, fame, money, and his choice in women.

They’ve been on the road touring for nearly a year, and by all appearances, Easton has a perfect life, but something is missing. He just doesn’t know what that is yet.

Like a falling star, Easton is burning out—running on fumes. Not to mention a fan’s undying infatuation with him is reaching stalker level. He needs a vacation before the road snuffs out his creative flames for good.

A small town in Tennessee looks like the perfect place to lie low and find peace.

Until he steps foot on Connelly Ranch and meets Beca, a spitfire redhead.

Becca is barely keeping her head above water. She’s stretching herself thin, doing everything she can to keep the bank from taking her family’s legacy.

She’s convinced Easton is nothing more than a heartbreaker, your stereotypical playboy who is used to getting what he wants.

Easton is determined to prove her wrong.

Until Easton is part of Aurora Rose Reynolds's Happily Ever Alpha World. If you loved Until Jax, then you will want to read Until Easton.

Until Easton by Crystal Daniels and Sandy Alvarez was part of the Happily Ever After World of Boom Factory Publishing. The series was written by various Indie up and coming Authors and is associated with Aurora Rose Reynolds Until, Until Him and Until Her series.

A couple quick thoughts: I met Easton as Emerson’s twin in the Kings of Retribution MC series by Daniels and Alvarez, but it wasn’t necessary to have read that series first. I enjoyed Easton and Becca, they were both strong, confident and lovable characters. I also enjoyed the storyline. It was lighthearted, fun, simple, and a “good feels” storyline. There was some conflict, but it was still easy going and cheerful. All in all, it was a quick, easy read that was a perfect read sandwiched between dark heavy reads.

It was fun to see Easton experience the Boom that the Mayson family swears by. He is not used to this, but man, he went with it. It was great that Becca didn't fight him, sure she had her reservations, but it wasn't about her feelings for him, more Easton being a big star and how she would fit in.

I guessed Easton's stalker right away, not sure how the rest of them didn't see it. I was glad that she was dealt with and only caused minimal damage before getting caught.

The ending was sweet, loved seeing Easton and Becca get all they ever hoped for!

This story hits different than the others we've seen from Sandy and Crystal. It's emotionally packed with love and fear. Because Easton is the twin of Emerson, we also get another glimpse at our favorite Kings of Retribution. They show just how deep their family ties go.
Easton is knocked down completely when Becca walks into his life. He can feel the air being sucked out of his lungs.
I absolutely loved Easton and Becca's story. It had the angst and drama but most importantly, it had the type of instant love that is believable and felt deeply.

I'm a huge fan of writing duo Sandy Alvarez and Crystal Daniels. These chicks rock and I'm pretty much obsessed with their Kings of Retribution MC series. So when I found out that they were bringing back Emerson's twin brother Easton, and he was going to be part of Aurora Rose Reynold's Happily Ever Alpha (HEA) world I couldn't have been more excited. I love the HEA world and all of the Until books and bringing two of my favourite book worlds together - well I knew it was going to be phenomenal.

Until Easton is pretty much my perfect romance novel. It has two great main characters in Easton and Becca. Easton is a famous rock star who is feeling burned out after his latest tour. He's also been dealing with a stalker situation that has escalated from annoying to dangerous. To lie low, he heads to Connelly Ranch near Nashville, a little slice of heaven run by Becca and her aging grandfather. Becca is doing everything she can to keep the ranch running, but she too is running on empty. The bills are piling up, and she worries that she will lose her home. When Easton arrives, the two of them feel instantly attracted to each other, and more as they experience the infamous "BOOM" from the HEA world - pretty much instalove and instalust all wrapped up into one. Okay, that definition isn't quite enough - it's like falling to earth when your soul recognizes its mate - Boom. I love that.

While the two are navigating their new and super quick romance, they still have to deal with the stalker situation, jealousy as it arises, Becca's insecurities, and old high school foes. I love how each situation in the book is dealt with. I really couldn't get enough of these characters and I couldn't put the book down. An over the top sexy alpha male rock god, a feisty independent fiery redhead, some panty melting steam, a bit of action and danger, revisiting with some familiar faces from both the Kings of Retribution world and Reynold's Until series, and best of all - instalove, or the Boom. Until Easton was perfect and I didn't want it to end.

I received a free copy of this book from Give Me Books PR and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Easton is a rock star and his life is great. Well except for that little 'stalker' problem. A friend of his wife suggests a ranch to lay low for a while. So that's what he does. And he meets Becca... BOOM😊

Becca is struggling to keep her grand parents inn running. So she has another part time job as a hairdresser. When a friend asks her to help a member of East of Addiction to stay at her ranch she was not expecting to have all these feelings...

I loved this story.. Short but definitely spicy. And man Easton was not your typical rock star. He was sweet and caring and was totally hooked on Becca❤ Becca was such a strong character and she was amazing taking care of her grandfather and the inn. Easton was just enough alpha for what she needed in her life. 🥰 Pure Romance, and some suspense added in to make this a sweet read...❤Amazing addition to the BOOM list❤

I loved Easton and Becca's story. You can definitely feel the BOOM between them, more like on Easton. And I loved that. He's a famous rockstar who never thought of settling down. But the moment he met Becca, it was instant. And he needs to make her his.

Their story is pretty fast-paced, you'll get through it in no time. And it's quite a suspense too as Easton has a crazy, obsessed stalker fan situation. But still, I loved how much time they spent together, getting to know each other. Just loved the instant connection and attraction between them. And that's a rarity for me.

So excited these authors took a dive into the HEA world! Easton is a music superstar dealing with a stalker, and when things escalate, his manager decides the best option is for him to go into hiding for a little bit. Becca is working hard to make sure her grandfather’s home stays in their possession while also keeping things afloat, which means taking on a guest in the form of Easton. Determined to keep her distance, Becca initially isn’t interested in Easton, no matter how he makes her feel. Thankfully, Easton is able to wear her down as they spend time together and he proves to her he isn’t a snooty celebrity like the media portrays him and others to be, and they start to form a real connection. The identity of the stalker is somewhat obvious, but I still enjoyed reading to find out how their identity comes into light and if Easton will make it in time to figure it out and save Becca. I loved this sweet read with a side of suspense, and I hope that these authors will continue to make HEA books!

I love the tough MC series from Sandy and Crystal. This was a different avenue but was no less amazing.
Easton is the twin of Emerson, who we know from the Kings of Retribution. I loved getting to see the family through a different lens.

Easton is in a band and loves playing music and getting the energy from the crowds. However the easy women, who only want to be with him for bragging rights, is not what he wants anymore.

When he starts getting threats to his and his bands safety, he takes a break at a ranch/B&B.
Enter Becca, who owns the ranch and throws a wrench at Easton. He immediately knows what he wants and will work harder than he has before.
With the threats still looming, Easton falls into a false sense of security due to his isolation and emotions.

This was an amazing read full of love and family and I cant wait to add it to my collection.

This is another excellent work for Sandy Alvarez and Crystal Daniels. It is another addition to the Aurora Rose Reynolds Happily Ever Alpha World. Easton and Becca are the perfect "Rock star small town girl" couple. They had me at "you scare me"...."you set me on fire" (fan my face) Easton is the twin brother of Emerson so we got to see Quinn!!!! Always a great time when the Montana Kings get together. I really enjoyed the added suspense which gave more depth to this already amazing story. I hope we get to meet more of the band in coming books. I was given an advanced copy for an honest review and I can say without reservation to buy this amazing book and be prepared to have an Amazing reading experience.

Pretty close to a four star....it just wasn't quite fleshed out enough. The plot was fine and the chemistry between the two mains was terrifyingly quick. ...instant

I didn't get Carter's and Lana's participation in book unless this is a series and I'm not following as a series. And I hated Easton's cave man attitude when he was first getting to know Becca. Mainly because we don't know a lot about Easton's background except the twin sister who I think is part of other books. I didn't understand why Easton flew to Montana and then came all the way back to Tennessee when he would of been safe with the MC that his sister's husband was part of

Miles did not have a lot of a part. It's like this was a part of series I wasn't aware of making it "not" a standalone.....

Oh my gosh, this book is fabulous…read it in a couple of hours because I couldn’t put it down! Easton and Becca are such a great couple and the story is full of funny, sexy and exciting twists and turns. Love how Sandy and Crystal add mystery into their stories…so much fun figuring out “who done it”. Also love that we got to visit with the Montana Kings of Retribution folks…love getting my Jake fix! This book is sweet and funny and sexy as all get out and I can’t wait for what comes next…I hope something comes next!

"Until Us: Easton" ist der 14 😱 Teil der "Until Us" Reihe. Jeder Teil kann vollkommen unabhängig voneinander gelesen werden, jede Geschichte ist abgeschlossen. Es kann aber immer Mal zu einem Wiedersehen kommen.



Diese Reihe ist ein Spin-off der "Until You" Reihe. Wie auch dort werden die Bücher von verschiedenen Autorinnen geschrieben. Diese erste Reihe habe ich leider noch nicht kennengelernt, weiß aber ganz genau, dass ich das irgendwann noch nachholen möchte. Ich habe hier einfach über ein paar Protagonisten gelesen, dessen Geschichte dort begonnen haben und ich bin so neugierig.



Das mir das Setting gefällt, brauche ich wohl nicht extra zu erwähnen und auch die Protagonisten haben mein Herz im Sturm erobert. Wenn so der Boom einschlägt, das muss ein Wahnsinnsgefühl sein. Die Beiden waren einfach so süß wie Zucker 😍😍. Bei der Stalkerin hatte ich ja zwei Damen im Auge, aber mein Gefühl hat mich nicht im Stich gelassen und ich habe auf die Richtige getippt. Hach ja, ich hätte von den Beiden gerne mehr gelesen, es war viel zu schnell vorbei.



Der Schreibstil hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Er ist flüssig, bildhaft und mitreißend. Einmal damit angefangen, war es viel zu schnell vorbei. Die Bücher des MC muss ich mir unbedingt näher anschauen. Dankeschön das ich es lesen durfte.



Easton hat alles erreicht, was er wollte. Er ist Mitglied einer weltberühmten Rockband und muss sich um Geld keine Sorgen machen. Doch seine Berühmtheit bringt auch eine negative Seite mit, er hat eine Stalkerin die ihn und seine Familie massiv bedroht. Um sich eine Auszeit zu nehmen, fährt er auf die Conelly Ranch, zur Cousine einer Bekannten. Als er Becca zum ersten Mal sieht, weiß er das er angekommen ist ❤.

I've read Until Easton twice, and every single time I've fallen in love with the story and its characters. It's a perfectly balanced encounter between Aurora Rose Reynolds' Happily Ever Alpha World and Sandy Alvarez and Crystal Daniels' Kings of Retribution MC.

Easton Evans, famous rockstar and lead singer of East of Addiction, needs to stay low after the end of his band's tour. Not only is he exhausted, but a stalker is threatening him and the ones he cares about He travels to Tennessee to stay at Connelly Ranch, where he meets Becca. The hardworking and petite woman with curly hair and a feisty attitude is everything he has been missing in his life.

Becca and Easton's connection is pure magic. She will learn that is ok to accept help and rely on the one she loves. Easton will not take anything for granted and will prove to her that his feelings are real. Their story is surrounded by the importance of family and a veil of suspense, as the stalker will prove to be relentless.

And if these characters weren't enough of their own, there are cameos by the Kings of Retribution MC. Seeing them is always a treat, but having more of Emerson, who is Easton's twin, and Quinn is an amazing present. Because let's be honest, one can never have enough of this hilarious biker with an endless appetite.

The couple: Easton and Becca

Romance trope: rockstar; insta-love
Length: 146 pages

Plot: Easton is the famous rockstar, twin brother of Emerson from Lost King. He's looking to both take a rest from his celebrity life and get away from a stalker. He ends up in a friend's hometown where he's going to stay at a ranch that really needs some help to stay afloat. The minute he meets the granddaughter of the owner, Becca, he knows she's the one for him. If they can cut through all the interference from people in town and people from Easton's career, then they might be able to make a go of it. Life can be tricky sometimes, though.

Commentary: I had forgotten that Emerson had the famous rockstar brother. He was much more charming (in a non-skeezy way) than I thought he would be. He was ready to slay the world for Becca and I loved that he was so excited to introduce her to his sister. Crazy caricature of a stalker of course (woman supposedly scorned) - although I've never met a stalker in real life, so maybe this depiction was absolutely accurate.

I’m a long time reader and fan of Sandy Alvarez and Crystal Daniels so of course to know they would be collaborating with the iconic Aurora Rose Reynolds will always get me beyond excited!

Easton is a character from the Kings of Retribution world created by Sandy and Crystal. His sister is Emerson from Lost King with Quinn as her leading man. Easton is the illusive rock star brother so who wouldn’t want to read about him?

Easton has a situation on his hands where he finds himself needing to lay low and staying with his brother in law’s MC won’t be the answer. He finds himself in a small town in Tennessee, a recommendation by none other than our favorite Jax!!

Easton meets Becca who runs the B&B with her grandfather. It’s clear this woman is unlike what he is used to. He learns quickly she is the woman to get him to feel settled in his soul.

Becca and Easton have to overcome some personal challenges they face individually. Uniting together will bring them to their HEA.

This book was clearly a Sandy and Crystal book. The chemistry and drama is what we have come to expect from them. I loved this addition to the HEA collection.

I love when worlds combine and with this we are getting the HEA world and the Kings of Retribution, Montana chapter world. Easton is Emmerson's brother, we have "met" him before, he is rocking the world with his music. When he appears to have a bit of a stalker issue Jax steps in and gives him a place to retreat while they figure out who is stalker is. Becca's whole life has been about the farm her grandfather own's and runs. Things have been tight and in order to keep things going, they turned the farmhouse into a B&B of sorts. She never imagined having someone like Easton staying with them and she certainly never expected the spark they have. For Easton, he knew it was the BOOM when he first laid eyes on Becca, now he just has to convince her that they are meant to be.

Short but packs quite a punch! We get everything a reader can want in a book, drama, danger, hot naughty moments, and a dash of OTT alpha male. I give this 5 stars.

I think this is my favorite Happy Ever Alpha World story. Easton is a rock star who has snagged himself a stalker and needs to lay low for a while. Jax, a friend of his and head of his security, suggests his wife's coworker's ranch. Becca has been struggling, working more than one job, to make ends meet and not lose her family ranch and Inn. It's just her and her grandfather and times have been rough on them since the passing of her grandmother. When Easton and Becca first meet, the attraction is instantaneous and like a BOOM for Easton.

This was sweet, fun and romantic with a thread of a mystery running throughout. It didn't matter that I had figured out the big, bad almost the instant they were introduced, I still enjoyed every minute of this romantic suspense. I'm now off to hunt down Easton's sister, Quinn's book! Can't wait for more from these authors!

This is Easton and Becca’s story. Easton is a rock star who has it all the fame, money, and any women he wants, but after being on tour for some time he is feeling a tad jaded and knows somethings is missing from his life and needs a place to lay low and regroup. Becca is feisty and independent, and she is burning the candle at both ends to keep her family’s ranch and B & B afloat and out of the bank’s clutches. When her best friend recommends that the ranch is the perfect place to go, Becca is wary not knowing what to expect with a rock god arriving. This is a beautifully written story which is humorous, and with witty banter, emotions, and love, which leads to an entertaining and addictive page turner. I look forward to reading more from this talented duo, and I highly recommend their work.

This is a standalone in the Happily Ever Alpha World brought to you by Aurora Rose Reynolds. The story has danger, secrets, and heartbreak.

This is Becca and Easton’s story. This is the first story I have read by these authors. I am sure it will not be the last. Easton has a stalker and is trying to lie low. He meets Becca and is instantly drawn to her. He knows she is the one for him but with there lives so different can they make it work? Becca is fighting her attraction to Easton after all his life is way different then hers and she does not want the heartbreak when he leaves. But the pull is too strong and soon they are both falling. But what happens when the secrets are revealed, and the stalker is ousted. Can they be together or will danger make sure that never happens.

I recommend this book.

I can't express how excited I was to find out this dynamic duo joined Aurora Rose Reynolds Happily Ever Alpha world. They definitely dropped the BOOM with Easton & Becca's story, and I couldn't get enough. Easton is a rock star who is dealing with a stalker who has escalated to dangerous, not to mention the fact that this last tour has him burned out so off he goes to lay low at Connelly Ranch run by Becca & her grandfather. Becca is barely getting by no matter how hard she works, and it's draining her as there doesn't seem to be any solution. The moment Easton shows up, they feel that all mighty BOOM, and the sparks are definitely flying. However, there's still that stalker situation because we all know stalkers tend to hunt their target down LOL! You have to read this amazing story set in this amazing world that I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ALL!

Das war Zucker pur 🥰
Easton, der Rockstar, der von einer Stalkerin in Atem gehalten wird, findet auf einer kleinen Ranch außerhalb der Stadt die Ruhe, die er sucht und die Frau, die er braucht, um glücklich zu werden
Becca liebt die Ranch ihrer Großeltern und lebt mit ihrem Großvater dort. Leider läuft es nicht mehr so gut, aber sie gibt wirklich alles, um nicht alles zu verlieren. Da kommt ausgerechnet Easton ums Eck und ihre Gefühle sind mit einem BOOM da

War das wieder eine wundervolle Geschichte, mit ein wenig Drama, aber ganz viel Liebe für Familie und Freunde und einem Mann, den man sicher nicht mehr so schnell vergisst. Becca ist eine starke Frau, die weiß, was sie schafft und wie viel sie wert ist. Easton ist genau der Richtige für sie, weil er sie genauso schätzt und liebt

Easton & Becca: (Also connected to Sandy Alvarez’s and Crystal Daniels’ “Kings of Retribution” series. Triggers- stalking, assault, kidnapping, vandalism. I totally and completely love this book. Why? Because these authors are among my favorites and because they not only connected this book to the ARR series but they also connected it to their own book series “The Kings Of Retribution MC” so we got a chance to revisit characters from both worlds. Easton is not what we typically see as an alpha because he's a celebrity, a rockstar but he's definitely got some of the alpha qualities. Especially the need to claim in front of everyone. Becca is very strong willed but her will is nothing when it comes up again “the boom”. These authors brought everything that was needed to connect this book to not only ARR’s world but their own as well. Loved it.

Who doesn’t love a sexy rocker?! Until Easton is just fantastic. When I saw that Sandy Alvarez and Crystal Daniels were contributing to the Until Series, I had to read it.

Easton is a rocker who has unfortunately picked up a stalker. When his friend suggests laying low on a ranch owned by his wife’s friend, he takes it. Becca and her grandfather own a dying ranch and inn. Trying to keep things afloat is a struggle. Sparks fly when these two meet, but with the danger of a lurking stalker can Becca and Easton bask in their BOOM?

Becca is strong-willed and once she realizes it’s ok to ask for help…BOOM. Once Easton realizes it’s ok to slow down…BOOM. Until Easton is a sweet read with a little bit of suspense thrown in. I loved the Kings of Retribution crossover.

Another BOOM!💥 in the world y'all and what a book. Sandy Alvarez and Crystal Daniels are new to me author but.. that's one of the best things about this world- meeting news to me's and reconnecting with old flames.

Until Easton is a standalone in this world, telling Becca and Easton's story and what a book. This fast-paced, all in your feels romance was loaded up with all of the sweet, steam and swoon this world guarantees + throw in touches of suspense and you have this beauty.

Love, love, love this world, maybeee slightly addicted. I'm definitely adding these ladies to my TBR after I check out their backlist.

I highly recommend this world.
