Pretty fast pace and some steamy steam!!!!
Both have a plan and at first it didn't involved anyone Brew had work and his hand he was done with relationships because of a toxic ex he won't do love anymore and JJ well she just to focus on work she doesn't have time until she's moved on a site for work and Brew is the one picking her up. The spark is lit and both are drawn to eachother, they do try to keep that "friends" keep on the path but a kiss and Brew Protetiveness and jealously lord that man he could eat me up 🥰 and once they both start to finally accept that love between them drama comes rearing it's ugly head from both sides. Brew and JJ are put to the test.
We get some secondary charas and Auroa charas June and Evan from the Until series!! Its a good time.
Ow/Om drama (crazy ex & spoiled coworker both MC didn't want those ppls), no cheating, Tiny drama, Slight secondary character, sexy times, No virgins and No manwhore ( been celibate for 3 yearsl

I have never been more pissed after reading a book. Story? Hell no. Nothing made sense. The continuity was non existent.
The money and the time I wasted struggling through this story is something I won’t get back.
The whole book came off like some god awful porn flick from the seventies. And it wasn’t even good porn.
There's nothing within the pages, zip chemistry, it felt automated like the author just did not care.
As readers we should expect more, I know I do.
It’s a hell no from me.

2 JJ and Brew Stars
JJ relocates for six months to Tennessee for her work. Once there she meets the very hot construction company owner , Brew. Sparks and clothes fly and connections are made. Danger is close on the heels and threatens this couple's HEA.
The Happily Ever Alpha world doesn't seem to be working out for me lately. There original Until series and the spin off Until Him/Her are still all time favourites but somehow these ones keep just missing the mark for me. In this book it was just too rushed, too insta.
Yes , the ingredients are there - hot alpha Hero, strong heroine, the BOOM , drama and HEA's , but there is a certain sparkle and something special that Aurora Rose Reynolds brings to the pages of her books and I am not finding it in most of the one's written in that world by other authors.
I have more to try , and some do work , so I am heading on to the next one - Until Jinx.....
HEA? Yes
Cheating? No

A reminder to read the honest reviews before I start a book. A warning that this was just Bdsm wrapped up in Sex and the City would have been nice.

So I love the ARR world and always look forward to a new release. But this one felt a bit rushed. I enjoyed the story line and Brew was definitely an OTT alpha male. And JJ was a sweet sassy independent woman. She knew how to stand up for herself but when it came to Brew she was all in.
This was an insta-lust type of read. And you will definitely be all in if that's your type of read❤😏

To say I devoured this book is a understatement. My mouth hurt from smiling so much while reading it. I could not put this down. Which didn’t surprise me at all since @author_cc_monroe is seriously my favorite author.
JJ and Bree very quickly made there way to my top 5 favorite couples.
JJ is this fierce outspoken, independent women it was clear to see why Brew fell for her.
Brew the Alpha that makes you smile!:) the ultimate Alpha male❤️
JJ and Bree together are fire. I’ve already read until Brew 3 times because I can’t get enough of it.
10 out of 10 recommend!!🖤

Wow what a page-Turner I could not put it down. There is just something about C.C. Writing that hooks you her characters and there developments are very well executed . I was intrigued from page one, I couldn’t get enough what a brilliant Edition to the happily ever alpha.
JJ and Brew chemistry was off the charts I couldn’t get enough. I can’t wait for more of C.C. Amazing writing..

Can anyone do insta-love like CC Monroe?
NO.
JJ and Brew were meant to be and you feel it from the moment they meet until that very last page.
And in between those pages you might ask? Nothing but raw, passionate s3x and true love being shared.
We have great friendships and wonderful dialogue. I mean what more do you want in a fast read?
PLEASE PICK THIS UP NOW!

This was fine. I didn’t really like JJ, the heroine of the book. She was all “I’m a badass and will never fall in love,” but we didn’t actually see that. There was a lot of telling and not showing. The writing was decent. I would maybe read another book by this author. I think I’m also not a huge fan of the different writers writing in Aurora Rose Reynolds “Boom universe.”

Love love love this book!!!!!!
So I have read almost all of her books, but I couldn't but this one down. Her writing is so refreshing. I haven't read a CC book I didn't love and this one definitely hits the spot!!!!

Wow
Perfect blend of heat, spice, romance, and action. First book that I have read from CC Monroe, but looks like I ll be binging on her others. Only complaint, I got sucked into the story and did not do the adulting that I need to do.

I am blown away by Brew and JJ!
You know those books when you have to set it down to take a breath and let your heart settle? This is definitely one of them!

Loved this book not as spicy as my normal read however Brew had a jealous charm that made you fall in love with him ❤️

This book was a real disappointment. Zero character building so you have no real investment or interest in the story. The plot is non-existent. Continuity and timing make no sense. Most plot points are just throw away sentences which makes it feel like you must have missed a few chapters. It’s written like a few soft core porn scenes strung together with a couple of pages of fiction to try to make a story but even the steamy bits are so badly done. Won’t be trying any further books from this author.

Brew and JJ
So this book didn’t play around. 14 hours into JJ and Brew meeting they had steamy, hot chemistry and love. Brew is all alpha. “Baby” was a little over used and for me personally sometimes made me cringe. BUT the book is full of likeable main characters, friends, construction worker, MC gang, ex~ girlfriend that is crazy, psycho man that won’t take no. It was a page turner. And a great HEA.

In total transparency, I found CC Monroe on TikTok and the first video of hers I saw was about ‘Until Brew’. For a while it got lost in my TBR list but holy moly and I annoyed at myself for not reading it sooner!
I am a total sucker for a possessive, alpha MMC and paired with an Insta-love plot, this was a massive hit for me!
Brew and JJ are my favourite book couple and I’d highly recommend reading their story - you won’t regret it!!

This was not even just instaLUST but instaLOVE and in a BAD way.
Like. Legit 12 hour in- ONE NIGHT and they are like
I’m falling in love —- WHAT ?????????
You don’t even know each other’s LAST NAME!! 🙄 not for me.
No connection to each other means I don’t have a connection to them and therefore I give zero ass about their problems or their emotions. It is also a pregnancy trope as well as the villain is someone that does all of the bad things all at once-kidnapping/gambling/only shows up in the LAST CHAPTER.
It’s just a mess of a book.

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.
In this book we get JJ Marie & Brew Axton's story. If you don't quite remember these characters but the names are stuck in your head they are the neighbors from Until June. When this book opens we find that JJ works for an interior design company bases out of New York. She is now in Tennessee to work the company magic on this housing development. When she gets to town though she finds that her room is no longer available the the boss's slime ball son is more then happy to share a bed with her if she wants. Lucky for JJ her friend Crystal lives in the area and she can crash on her couch until a room comes available. The only hitch is the guy she has come pick her up while she is waiting for her best friend to come back from her in-laws place. Brew has a no woman rule especially one night stands ever since his last girlfriend turned psycho on him. One look at JJ has him wishing he didn't have such a rule. The way she back talks him has him thinking all kinds of dirty things. She is only in town though for the next 6 months and Brew is not looking for another heartache. Can these two find their HEA or will this limited time be to much when ex's and problem co-workers are involved?
Holy cow is this story good. It took me a bit to realize who these characters were but once I remembered oh my I couldn't put it down. Well their story without the knowledge is out of this world on its own. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

JJ & Brew
She's an independent woman close to her goal of branching out on her own professionally. Just one big project success and it's a go. Plus her best friend lives in the town she'll be working in for six months. Her friend who has hooked up with an "alpha" it seems the town has a bunch of them. Not her! That is until Brew. Talk about sparks! They both try—unsuccessfully to ignore their feelings.
I loved the book from page one. MC guys are not her usual. He is so much more and learning about the guys from the club makes her reconsider her thoughts about bikers. After all "the boom" hit her bestie and he's another "alpha".
Their relationship is fast-forwarding and interesting, to say the least. The sides of themselves they never knew come out. There's steam and more steam. Will they change their commitment to the single life?
Nothing is easy in their lives. What or who will interfere and will they get past it?
Great characters. If you've read other books in the series you'll enjoy the visit. If this is the first book you've read in the series you'll love meeting them. The women are strong, the men strong and both sexes make changes to be with the one who grabs them from the first meeting. I'm ready for the next Boom to fall.

I read a lot of dark books, so when I come across a book like Until Brew, it's seriously delightful because it cleanses the palate if you will. Our heroine, JJ, is a strong, sassy woman that I really loved. Brew is one of those super sexy alpha heroes who are delicious so I wanted him..This story is the best of instalove because I imprinted on the characters from the jump, and the plot kept all my attention on the story until there were no mare pages. JJ & Brew have serious chemistry with sparks that jumped off the pages, and they didn't play games with each other which is refreshing. Until Brew is a great addition to this world that I couldn't get enough of, so now it's your turn, hit those one click buttons to experience all this goodness for yourselves1 HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

JJ is going to Tennessee for her job. She is getting ready to leave when she is told her boss's son would be going also. She can't stand him because he doesn't take no for an answer. She is excited to see her friend though. She meets Brew when he picks her up after she decides not to stay at the hotel.
Brew is blown away when he meets JJ. She is a strong woman with a smart mouth but that is what draws her to him. He won't stop until he has her. He swore he would never be like this after what Lacey put him through.
JJ has decided to stay with Brew even with what Lacey has been pulling.
JJ is looking at office space and June has just dropped her off when she is attacked. Will Brew find her?

I loved Until Brew! Another fantastic addition from C.C. Monroe to the Happily Ever Alpha world.
When JJ receives a six month interior design project in Tennessee, she’s excited to see her BFF and make a name for herself. What she doesn’t count on is a sexy biker derailing her plans. Brew has sworn off relationships after his crazy ex. But one look at JJ and he can’t help but fall…BOOM!
JJ is a strong independent woman. Brew is a protective alpha. The push and pull power for control between them is Hot. The chemistry is off the charts. I absolutely recommend.

Sheesh! I usually get bored with a some romance books because the cat & mouse game that the main love interests have, is usually dragged out way too long. But this book has to be the fastest unrealistic love connection I've ever read. No build up, very predictable, generic plot & characters. If people could get over disagreements as quick as the 2 main characters in this book do, then relationship therapists & police officer's who are assigned to respond to domestic disturbances, would be out of the job.

Gah! I knew I loved JJ and Brew back when I read June and Evan's story. But I had no idea I would love them even more! I am so glad I finally know their story as well. I loved JJ's sassiness. And don't get me started on Brew's alpha hotness. These two together are explosive!
Such a great mix of passion, suspense, love, and sweetness. You won't be able to put this one down. Amazing 5 stars. Get ready for one helluva ride!

I have been waiting for this book. I was so excited to see the author who got to write Brew and JJ’s story. CC does not disappoint. This book is true to the BOOM and the Until series.
I loved Brew and JJ from the beginning and their chemistry was off the charts. Such a great couple and they fit in so well with the Mason family.
Of course there is drama because you can’t have the BOOM without the drama. This is probably of one of my favorite stories written in the Until world.

Wow, another great book to a great series of books. I couldn't put book down once started.
I loved Brew and JJ together, they met because of JJs friend and Brews friend. They had instant their feelings for a while, but it was inevitable that they would get together. They have to deal with exs and jealous colleagues. But they always had each others backs.
I highly recommend this book.

I absolutely love Brew & JJ's love and devotion to each other. Right from the start they don't allow anyone to affect what they're building together. They talk through any obstacle or argument they are dealt instead of allowing it to cause problems in their relationship. One of the best couples I've read in a long time!💜
