How Until Began
Aurora Rose Reynolds, a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, launched the Until series in 2013 with Until November. Inspired by her love for alpha-male-driven romance and authors like Kristen Ashley, Reynolds crafted a world where tough, charming men meet their matches in strong, relatable women. Her goal? To create escapist stories filled with passion and family ties, set against the cozy backdrop of Tennessee’s small towns.
Reynolds’ vivid imagination and knack for emotional storytelling birthed the Mayson brothers—Asher, Trevor, Cash, and Nico—whose romantic journeys became the heart of the series. The 'BOOM' concept, a family curse where love strikes instantly, set Until apart, blending insta-love with deep character growth.
The Heart of Until
The Until series kicks off with Until November, where November, fleeing a troubled past in New York, arrives in Tennessee and meets Asher Mayson, a charming yet arrogant strip club patron. Their fiery connection sparks a tale of protection and love, laced with suspense. Until Trevor follows Trevor Mayson, whose plans for a carefree life unravel when he falls for shy Liz Hayes, navigating trust and desire. In Until Lilly, Cash Mayson faces a heart-wrenching choice between love and duty, weaving a second-chance romance with Lilly Donovan. Until Nico closes the core series, with Nico Mayson helping Sophie Grates conquer her demons in a story of healing and devotion.
The series’ themes—love at first sight, family bonds, and personal transformation—shine through each book. Tennessee’s small-town setting adds warmth, grounding the steamy encounters and suspenseful subplots. Reynolds’ style, marked by witty dialogue and dual POVs, keeps readers hooked, balancing intense romance with light humor and relatable heroines who match their alpha heroes’ strength.
Spinoffs like Until Her and Until Him expand the Mayson legacy, introducing daughters, sons, and cousins, but the original quartet remains the series’ soul. Each book stands alone yet builds on the Mayson family’s tight-knit dynamic, rewarding fans with cameos and updates on past couples.
