Before This Ends by Aurora Rose Reynolds ~ New Release & Review



Blurb:

Miles Thatcher and I would not have gotten together if my life had gone according to plan.

Recently single with her whole life up in the air, Emma Abate knows that getting into any kind of relationship, is a bad idea. Especially when the man she finds herself drawn to is Miles Thatcher, a single father, and a man that seems determined to break down every barricade she places between them.

Could this be real?

Miles doesn’t do complicated. But it’s difficult to remember all the reasons why Emma is supposed to be off limits when she begins to fill a void in his and his daughters' life, a void that he never realized was there, until her.

Before this ends will Miles and Emma realize they have something worth fighting for? Or will his job as a detective, the murder of two young women, and Emma’s past get the best of them before they ever get the chance?

Life is never simple, and neither is love.

In Before This Ends, we meet Miles and Emma. Both are characters that we have met before in book 1 of the series, but this is a complete stand-alone.

When we start to get to know Emma, her life is being turned upside down. It's one of those changes that is painful at the time but pushes you in the right direction for your life. I appreciated getting to know her and seeing how her friendship with Miles grew organically through her friend Miranda and her boyfriend (who happens to be Mile's brother). Miles is also a character that is easy to like. He's a great dad, a good brother, and overall decent guy. Seeing him quietly do the things that Emma had never seen from a romantic partner just cemented him being the right person for her.

Ms Reynolds does an excellent job of weaving these two together. The potential conflicts are organic to the story. We see past traumas try to wreak havoc, slightly jealous exes, and slight differences in timing, but we also see our couple work through those things in healthy ways that are relationship goals.

As this is book 2 in the series, I will say that reading both books in order will make this one a bit richer, but it is unnecessary. There is some backstory in Tucker and Miranda's book that carries over here, but there is plenty of that information is here too! I hope we get to see Dayton's story soon!
