Happily Ever Alpha World

Until That Knight

Rate this book
Until That Knight is part of Aurora Rose Reynolds' Happily Ever Alpha World. If you loved Until Talon or Until Cobi, then you will want to read Until That Knight.

In the glimmering light of a hotel ballroom, I see my future and I despise it.
Growing up in the glamor of New York’s elite has left me feeling cold and cynical.
I long for adventure—so when the chance appears for me to break away, I take it.

Until that night, I never knew the rush of freedom.

In the dim light of a small-town Tennessee bar, I see him for the first time.
I feel the world shift—boom. I never expected a man like Knight Dayton to catch my eye…but I can’t look away. In his arms, he shows me what it means to live, unrestrained with passion.

Until that Knight, I never knew the power of love.

3 Rose and Knight Stars

The BOOM is in full effect in this short , passionate insta love story where the runaway heiress runs away from the toxic circle she is caught up in , in the elite echelons of New York high society.
Leighton-Rose finds herself in Murfreesboro , Tennessee and falls in love with the town and it's not long until she falls in love with the handsome Knight.

Knight used to live in town but has been away making his fortune for ten years but he needs to step back a bit from his intense work life, so he comes home.

This book is fast paced and has a good amount of sexy stuff , drama and suspense for such a swift read.
There are entertaining secondary characters - I would love to read a book about Thorston (Rose's big brother) and Bitsy (Rose's waitress colleague).

Knight is the quintessential Hero who saves the heroine from the dastardly baddies and I loved that Knight and Rose are all about each other from the start.

[I received a digital arc for an honest review]

Until That Knight
is a new addition to Happily Ever Alpha World. I haven't read one of these additions to the Until universe before, but I adore Melissa Williams writing, so I had to give it a read.

Leighton Rose is a part of high society where she has to watch everything she says and does. She's miserable and about to be engaged to a disgusting man of her father's choosing. Her Grandmother and brother, the only two she really cares for, help her run away and start fresh. Rose finds herself in a little town in Tennessee where she can finally be who she wants to be. When she meets Knight she feels an instant connection to him. Knight is from money as well, but he's unlike anyone she's ever met before. Them being together is meant to be but when Rose is being threatened will she be able to escape her past once and for all.

"This is love. Like all caps, all consuming, can't live another second without you LOVE."

If you've never read a book in the Until series by Aurora Rose Reynolds or any of the books in the extended Happily Ever Alpha World than you should know they are based on meeting your soul mate and knowing instantly that they are the one. Especially for the men in the novels. It's insta love at its finest, and they refer to it as the BOOM ☺️

"I know you can fight your own battles. But you don't have to. I want to be by your side, handing you my sword when yours gets dull."

Melissa Williams does a great job creating a BOOM for Rose & Knight. Rose is a fun character.She's a down to earth soul stuck in an upper class world. She just wants to make real friends, swear, and eat whatever her heart wants. Knight is smart and the perfect amount of alpha. He is gentle with Rose and always lifts her up when she gets down on herself. Together they were adorable and the chemistry between them was on fire. Knight knew how to take care of Rose in and out of the bedroom 🔥

"I'm drunk on desire, slowly losing my mind as Knight teases me to the edge and back."

Until That Knight
was a fun read with soulmates and lots of steam. It made me smile every time one of the Until characters showed up. I'll definitely be checking out the other books in the Happily Ever After World, and I'll be keeping an eye out for Rose's brothers book .

4 Stars! Such a lovely short and sweet story of opposites attract!

Rose - she's fed up of high society lifestyle, and the final straw was when her father forces her to become engaged to the notorious cheater Nigel. Everyone knows he's been having affairs, but Rose is told that it's simply what husbands do and that she should put up with it! With the help of her brother she runs away mid-party, and ends up in a small town, perfect for her new life to begin in.

Knight - he's back in his hometown after being away for a few years, and when he goes to his local bar to meet old friends, he can't help but be drawn to the new waitress. He's then definitely surprised when he finds out she's his neighbour at the hotel! He can tell she's not used to small town life, or even doing much for herself, so is determined to help her out.

This is such a sweet story. I loved how Knight was all in, and didn't mess with around with Rose's emotions, like some MC do. And of course, super steamy! If you're looking for a nice, easy read, then this is definitely for you! I look forward to more of Melissa's work!

**Honest ARC review**

No cheating. No cliff-hanger. HEA guaranteed.

A quick read full of love and strength. ❤️ I love the concept of the "boom". And these alpha, overprotective men.

Now, when is Thorston and Bitsy's story coming out?
It has a trope I love: the heroine is the legal guardian of her sisters 💃

This was a great addition to the Happy Ever Alpha World!

The book starts with Leighton Rose, a girl who seems to have it all. Wealth, boyfriend, and part of the high class society in New York, but looks can be deceiving. She is miserable and wants out. The only people that care about her are her brother and grandmother, with their help, she lives and escapes to a small town in Tennessee. She finally feels alive and like herself in this town. She takes a job at a local bar so she can make friends and this is where she meets Knight. Knight used to vacation in this town and is finally coming back after 10 years. He is a successful software designer but is missing something. When he see Leighton BOOM, he knows she is it for him.

This is an insta-love kind of story. Both of them immediately have feelings/attraction for one another. They start out as friends with Knight showing her the town, but it quickly turns into more. He knows how she is based on her last name, but he doesn't care. He sees the real her. They are both successful in their own right, and neither one of them care. They just want to be together.

This book also had an added element of suspense because someone is after Leighton and you do not know why. Of course Knight was there for her ever step of the way. I really enjoyed their relationship. Each one of them opened up and told each other things that they have never told anyone before. They got to know each other before turning it into something more.

This book was a great read and a great addition to the Happily Ever Alpha World.

Until That Knight is an addition to Happily Ever Alpha World by Melissa Williams. This is Knight and Rose’s story. Rose is tired of her wealthy family and their high expectations of her which is slowly snuffing the life out of her. Her father becomes the reason she walks away with the help of her brother and moves away to a small town to start a new life. That's where she runs into Knight Dayton- her next door neighbor from the hotel. The chemistry between them is hot, and he was very protective over her which was great. Knight's back in town after being gone for several years. He's intrigued by Rose and the BOOM 💥 factor is hot! Loved the intrigue, action, romance, heat, feels, attraction, drama, secrets and HEA. Knight and Rose made this story really memorable!!

My Rating: 4.5 stars *******

Until That Knight by Melissa Williams is part of the Aurora Rose Reynolds' Happily Ever Alpha World series and this was a great addition to the Happy Ever Alpha World

Leighton Rose seem to be a woman who has it all, money, a boyfriend and a full life. But this is all an allusion. She is dying inside, miserable and wants out. The only to people in the world that care about her , her brother and grandmother help her escape. After driving for days she ends up in a small town and its perfect for her new life.

Knight is a successful software designer and has all the money he would ever need but there is something missing in his life and he's not sure what that is. He's moved back to his grandfathers house  he has inherited and hoping to find that missing link. When he see Leighton, he knows she is his BOOM! Now all he has to do is win her over! 

Although short this is a well written, sweet, humorous, and entertaining read. It was my first read from Williams and I'll definitely be looking into more of her books. I highly recommend.

Until that Knight is an excellent book that I really enjoyed reading and couldn’t put it down. The book opens with New York socialite Leighton Rose and from what you initially see she’s got the perfect life. She’s beautiful, wealth, has a handsome boyfriend, but you soon find out that perfect image is all a lie. She hates he life, how her father, mother and stepsister control her, forcing her to date and soon marry her boyfriend who constantly cheats on her, that she can’t be who she wants to be. So with the help of her brother and grandmother, Leighton Rose disappears from New York without a trace.
Bryant “Knight” is back in Murfreesboro Tennessee from San Francisco after being gone for 10 years. When he goes to his buddy Winston’s bar and ends up helping bartender his first night back he sees her, the one that made him feel THE BOOM. The boom that his friends told him when he met the girl he was supposed to be with her feel it to his bones. So when Knight sets his eyes on Rose he knows the skittish new waitress is it for him.
Rose just got to Murfreesboro after escaping New York and while she knew she isn’t need to work she wanted something to do so she got a job as a waitress at Winston’s. When she see the bartender for the evening, Knight, she doesn’t know if she can trust him. But she sees something in him that makes her want to trust him. When someone breaks into her hotel rooms, both Rose and Knight know that someone is looking for her, but why? Read Until That Knight to find out.

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.

In this book we meet Leighton-Rose "Rose" McMillian and Knight Dayton. When this book opens we find that Rose is at another society party that she really doesn't want to be at. She knows that at any time the man her father has chosen for her to marry is going to pop the questions. She can't see living her life this way. With a man who always cheats on her and a family that only wants her around for her to be married off for their purposes. Well all except her grandmother and her brother. They have a plan and they are determined to help her fulfill it. She will leave the party and her life as she has known it for a life of her own. Three days into her trip she gets this gut feeling to go to Tennessee. She is sure she has made a mistake until a man on a motorcycle catches her attention. Once in the town Murfreesboro she feels like this is a brand new start for her. Knight can't believe he is back in this town. He used to spend summers with his grandparents and thought to get the place they had fixed up would just take some sweeping and some dusting. No it seems it needs some remodeling. Who does he call his old childhood friends Bax and Talon and luck has it they are up for the job. While visiting another friend Winston he finds the man needs help while his son is sick so Knight agrees to watch the bar for him. That is where he sees her the woman he knows after listening to his friends dad's talk is his boom. Will these two get their HEA or will outside forces make sure they can never have it?

If you are a fan of the boom series this is a must read. As you see we get some names in this one but this story is all its own. This is a must own and a must read. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

I received a digital Arc for my honest review.

This is my first read from Melissa Williams and it certainly won't be my last. I'm a Boom believer and love the Until series that started it all. So when I saw that this was another Happily Ever Alpha World featuring many of the characters we grew to love, I had to read it.

Leighton-Rose (Such a unique name) comes from a wealthy family who have high expectations for her. Growing up in the glamour of New York's elites, has limited Rose. Choosing between pleasing her family or seeking adventure, Rose takes a chance at another life where she will find her happiness, but she did not imagine Knight Dayton having anything to do with it.
Boom! You don't plan for it or know when to expect it, but when Knight gets the boom, the chemistry between these two light up the pages. I loved how sweet, brave and down to earth Rose was. And how can anyone not like the hot, charismatic computer coder. If your looking for a sweet romance with a bit of suspense, this book has it all and we get to read about several of the Mayson clan.

This slayed me in the best way. I am in awe of this author and how she took some of our beloved characters and incorporated them into this story. I fell in love with Knight and Rose and now they will live on as one of my favorites. I love the protectiveness and I would die laughing at knight not wanting anyone touching rose, men, even if to just shake hands. I laughed, I cried, I blushed and swooned. Rose goes through an unbelievable growth that I loved seeing.

Bax makes an appearance and had me cracking up laughing and only wondering when Aurora Rose Reynolds will give us his story.

Winston’s bar is featured and I felt like a little girl in a candy store and then Rose meets Winston and his bar and I was in heaven and like visiting some life long friends.

Now I am left wondering if Thorston will get his story and will be stalking this new favorite author now.

I was pulled right into this story. This is a standalone in the Happily Ever Alpha World brought to you by Aurora Rose Reynolds. The story has suspense, secrets, and heartbreak.

This is Leighton and Knight’s story. Leighton was out of her life. Her brother makes that possible. Once she leaves town she ends up in a bar and meets Knight. He knows who she is but is willing to not say anything. She intrigues him and he wants a chance to call her his. Can he convince her that she could fall for him? Do they have a chance when someone wants to make sure that she goes back to her old life? Can he protect her or will he lose her in the end?

I loved these characters and the side characters. I felt I could connect with the characters and the story was a great read.

I highly recommend this book.

Before I dive into why I loved this book, that cover is just crazy hot! Not overly done and all kinds of yummy!

Melissa Williams is an author in semi familiar with and was super excited to see she was involved in ARR's Happily Ever Alpha World. Well she's given us a brand new release that's swoony, sweet, sexy, and screams a near perfect fit until this world.

Until That Knight hooked me before I barely even started. Leighton and Knight had a connection and chemistry that even I couldn't deny. Their boom 💥 was everything in a whole lot of the best ways.

ARR is tied as my #1 all-time favorite author and I'll give any author in her world a chance and Williams really outdid herself with this beauty.

I highly recommend this book.

Melissa is a new author for me but I must say taking a chance on her was so worth it. This author has weaved a fantastic story. Leighton is a sassy, strong and steel-plated. She is in a precarious position looking for a way out. Knight shows up and he wants to beducate her. Talk about fun! This story was all it and much much much more! It is a unbroken love story with a drive that keeps you glued to your seat begging for it not to end! A really good book by a new author is always welcome. Get this book and all the sizzling fuzzies your little heart desires!

I received an ARC copy and am leaving an honest voluntary review!

Knight and Leighton’s story stands on its own without anyone from the Mayson clan. You don’t need them to get their story across. It’s a nice addition but their plot is sold on its own.

Leighton is escaping a smothering life in the city to a quiet town in the South. She never expected to have an instant connection like she did to Knight. However neither know at first sight they have way more in common than they realize.

Knight’s protective instincts are off the chart and once he finds out who she is it explains so much of his feelings. He will protect his woman at all cost and face her brother’s wrath later on if it comes.

Super enjoyable book that everyone will love!

I love a little suspense in a romance novel, it can give the story more form.

Rose knew she had to get away from the life she was living. She wanted to be free from the chains of her family. She leaves without a backwards glance and almost instantly lands in the arms of Knight.

Knight feels the earth shift when he first meets Rose. He knows she is hiding something, but quickly they both confide in each other.

Someone is not happy Rose left her life and will do anything to get what they want. Will Knight be able to protect her time?

Can’t wait for me from this world :)

Until That Knight has a huge boom of chemistry, attraction and passion that will have you feeling the heat being emitted through your kindle right into your fingertips. Knight and Rose grip hold of your heart hard and fast. Their story has a touch of mystery, suspense with a huge dose of melt your heart emotions. An old saying of once a Knight always a knight but once a night is never enough fits perfectly with their story. An absolutely swoon worthy story that gives you the Boom you crave from the Happily Ever Alpha World.

Rose is tired of living under her father's thumb. A chance at independence, Rose takes to the open road. Who knew she would end up in small-town Tennessee. And who would expect Knight?

What an amazing story! Knight and Rose are perfection. I loved their instant connection. Full of passion, love, suspense, and trust. "Until That Knight", is the perfect addition the Happily Ever Alpha world. An absolute must-read! 5 stars

BOOM! Knight & Rose get knocked off-kilter as soon as they're in the same vicinity. And their story is quite fun. Rose gets some help from her grandmother & brother to escape what she thought was an inevitable fate. She's determined to "do it on her own" ... but then there's Knight.

I love how they connect, how he encourages her but is there to protect & help her. I found myself smiling through the whole book! AND! There are kittens! I love a story w/ kittens.

Quick, sweet, steamy - thumbs up for this contribution to the HEA world.

Melissa Williams is a new to me author and I’m glad I took a chance because I loved this story. Until that Knight is a sweet and steamy story, that is a great addition to the Happy Ever Alpha World.

Leighton is tired of high society life but feels like she can’t escape it. With the help of her grandmere and her brother she leaves, to take back control of her life. I loved Leighton, she’s fearless and sassy.

After being away for so many years Knight’s back in Tennessee. At a local pub he sees Leighton and BOOM! He knows she’s it, now he just has to convince her. Knight is the right amount of alpha and who doesn’t love a hot computer coder. When Leighton is being threatened, he’ll do everything he can to make sure she’s safe.
