Michael “Mic” Griffin is feeling restless. He’s watched all of his brothers succumb to the BOOM, but it’s not for him, or is it? When the wives and girlfriends of his brothers decide to take him to Teasers for his birthday, that one night will change his life forever.

The moment he sees Quinn, he recognizes her immediately as the girl he spent an amazing weekend with while he was on leave eleven years ago. When they meet to talk, she throws him for a loop—they have a daughter, and she’s the identical twin of her beautiful mother, and it’s love at first sight.

As Mic spends time with Quinn and Maci, he begins to fall deeper in love with both of them but when a threat presents itself, he’ll stop at nothing to protect his girls—from anyone that tries to take them away from him.

Quinn Hughes has done everything in her life for her daughter. Being a single mother has been hard, but she’d do it all over again for her girl. The night she runs into Michael again she’s so happy to finally be able to tell him about their amazing daughter—to her pleasure he wants to know Maci and jumps headfirst into parenthood.

Until Mic, Quinn didn’t think happy endings existed for her, but as the three of them head toward theirs, a threat from her past tries to tear theirs apart—one thing they don’t know is that Quinn is a fighter, and that’s what she intends to do for her family.

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

Until Mic is by Evan Grace and is part of the Happily Ever Alpha World. This is my very first book by Evan.

Michael “Mic” Griffin is just turning thirty five years old. His friends from his MC are taking him out for his birthday to Teasers, a club that features pole dancers. Mic has watched his brothers from his club fall in love one by one, all calling it “The Boom” when they find and fall hard for their one and only. Mic might feel a little jealous at times but he’s never met anyone he was at all interested in anything but a no strings hook up with. But that night, at Teasers, he sees her, the one that sort of got away. Eleven years ago he had been home on leave and had the most memorable weekend he’d ever had with her but then he had to return to his base so he snuck out, thinking he’d never see her again. Now here she was, and he was about to get the surprise of a life time. A birthday gift he would forever cherish. He has a ten year old daughter.



Quinn Hughes never forgot that wonderful weekend she spent with Mic eleven years ago. How could it when it gave her Maci. She had no idea how to contact Michael, where he had to return to. She had been totally honest with her daughter, telling her that she didn’t know how to find her father to tell him about her. Quinn is a pole dancer. She’d been working at a club in Nashville but was being harassed by a customer so they moved to Murfreesboro and she got a job dancing at Teasers. She felt much safer there and the money was better because every cent she made went to raising her daughter. But then she saw him, just standing right in front of her.



Quinn wasted no time in letting Mic know about his daughter and I loved the way that he just instantly loved her. He had no idea what would happen with he and Quinn. He took things slow, let his relationship grow between he and his daughter. But just as he was falling in love with his daughter, he was also falling for her mother all over again. Now he knows what his brothers were always talking about, that “Boom!”



When Quinn starts to get some unwanted attention at Teasers, Mic’s protective nature takes over. He won’t let anyone hurt “his girls” because that’s exactly what they were now, HIS!!

I loved the way these three just sort of morphed into a family unit. And I also adored the way that Mic’s family and friends all immediately accepted Quinn and Maci into the lives. When Quinn was in danger, not one person hesitated to jump in to help make sure she and her daughter were safe.



This was another sexy, sweet, suspenseful book in this world. I adore insta romance. And I love that all the books in this world combine that with a bit of suspense to make me want to flip those pages as fast as I can. When Quinn and Mic reunited, they just instantly joined forces to be there for their daughter. There was never any doubt that Maci was their focus and as a result, the transition from one parent to two was seamless. I also loved how Mic just sort of let things evolve. He didn’t push, they just sort of became a family. I love the Happily Ever Alpha World. I love The Boom! And I can’t wait for more.

3 Mic and Quinn Stars

There are so many books in this series , I can't keep up. Each one is a complete standalone written by different authors and I would say that generally , they have been a little hit or miss for me. None of them have had the special something that Aurora Rose Reynolds's original series has.

This was an ok read. It is a second chance romance / surprise baby romance with a good dollop of drama thrown in. Mic and Quinn hooked up for a weekend eleven years ago and they had no way to contact each other afterwards. Quinn was 18 (she told Mic she was 20) and Mic was 24 at the time and Quinn became pregnant. Disowned by her family , she has brought up their daughter on her own.

Quinn moves to a new town with her little girl, Macie , and she works as a pole dancer at Teasers , the club featured in Until November. That is where she meets Mic again.

These two reconnect quickly and Mic steps up ready to being a Dad to Macie. I liked the way their relationship developed. The drama was a little predictable but executed well. For me, the writing felt a little stilted at times but I liked the characters very much and the ending was absolutely lovely.
It's a quick read - under 200 pages.

HEA? Yes
Cheating? No -when we are first introduced to Mic, he is leaving the house of a woman he has had sex with. None of that encounter is on page and he has not reconnected / met up with Quinn at that point.

5 Stars *****

UNTIL MIC is an amazing and sweet story. It is everything you want in a romance book and more. This book is so well written I didn’t want it to end. Definitely swooning worthy. The storyline has you falling head over heads for these characters, I know I did.

Michael “Mic” Griffin has the perfect bachelor life; he has no need for any attachment what-so-ever... at least that’s what he tells himself. He has only ever felt anything for one person before and that was eleven years ago when he was on leave from the Navy. When the wives of his brothers decide to take him on a night out for this birthday, he comes face to face with the girl he spent that amazing weekend with all those years ago and boy does she throw him a curve ball.

Quinn Hughes spent the best weekend of her life with Mic eleven years ago and the result of that weekend is her beautiful daughter Maci. When she moves to another town for a fresh start, she runs into Mic again and is finally able to tell him about his daughter. She is surprised at how quickly it takes him to immediately become an amazing and protective father and Quinn starts to fall hard and fast for Mic all over again.

I really enjoyed this book and the story is heartwarming and romantic. My only criticism is that the story felt rushed in a way, but you will not be disappointed though so go grab you’re a copy.

Well done Evan Grace!
Thank you for the opportunity to review this ARC.

Mic & Quinn

This may be one of my favorite HEA books. I’m all for a hot, possessive alpha and throw in a heart of gold and I swoon!!! I devoured this low drama, high heat book in less than a few hours. I loved watching the relationship between Mic and Maci bloom and how he never hesitated to step up.

Another fantastic addition to Aurora Rose Reynold’s Happily Ever Alpha World. I love when our characters find their “Boom”! In Mic and Quinn’s story, it is more of a second chance to finally reach their happily ever after. They met eleven years ago, spent an incredible weekend together but with Mic only on leave from the Navy they never saw each other again until now. After a chance meeting at Mic’s birthday party, he finds out that he did not just leave Quinn behind but also a daughter. It seemed like fate that after realizing something is missing in his life and watching all his brothers finding their Boom, the one girl he has thought about throughout the years is right in front of him. And then to meet his beautiful daughter was the icing on the cake. He instantly felt that Quinn and Maci were “his girls'' and he wanted them permanently in his life.

I really enjoyed Mic and Quinn’s story. After everything Quinn, as a single mother, had to go through to give everything to her daughter, I was in awe of her spirit and strength. Even through the tough times, she had such a positive outlook on life and she just made things work. I absolutely adored the family she and Maci became a part of and then to see Mic’s family and friends just embracing them was so heartwarming. When Quinn’s past threatens her new life in Murfreesboro, Mic and his friends put out all the stops to keep her and Maci safe. Until Mic had all the elements that I so love in this fantastic world created by one of my favorite authors.

This really was a 'meh' read. One star for the opening paragraphs. Is it supposed to make the reader really think that the male lead is an alpha cos he fucks other women? For me... whilst I am completely aware that this happens... I really don't want to read about it. Ever. Just makes me think 'manslut... how boring...'

Mic (Michael) cannot believe his eyes - the gorgeous dancer is the woman he had a short but memorable weekend with years ago. She seems happy to see him, then drops a bombshell on him - he's a dad to a daughter he never knew about because he left after their weekend without giving her a way to get in contact with him. Now he has a choice to be in his daughter's (and her mother's) life as little or as much as he chooses.



Quinn cannot believe Michael is actually in her life again, and he seems so excited to get to know their beautiful daughter. But does he want more with her like she wants with him, or is he just wanting to co-parent and keep Quinn in his past as the woman who happens to be his daughter's mom?



Until Mic is a sweet, lighthearted read. I haven't read all, or even most, of the original series, but I did think this one seems to fit well in the spinoff world. It isn't the most exciting story I've ever read, and it's verrry slow burn with them not even connecting beyond a few kisses until near the end, but for the most part I enjoyed it. I kept wishing for more something - action or suspense, or heat, or just something slightly dramatic, but didn't get my wish in any of those categories until near the end, so I can't give this more than 3.5 stars. But it is well-written, and I have to say that Maci is absolutely the very best character in the whole story, she steals every scene she's in.

Get ready for the heat! Mic and Quinn had a past, but they’re working hard to also make a present and future together. It helps that they avoid drama at all costs. He doesn’t play games, and neither does she. She just has some serious danger following her that she’s either downplaying or not giving the seriousness it may deserve. But as long as Mic and Quinn have each other, their daughter, and love, they’ll make it through. Or so they hope.

I enjoyed this addition to ARR’s world and really appreciated the spin Evan Grace puts on characters we already know and love. She doesn’t change anyone’s personality at all, either. She instead finds a way to keep ARR’s characters true to their original selves while bringing her own talent and abilities to the table. If you’re looking for a seamless, “don’t wanna put it down” read that lets us visit with Wes, July, and so many others while giving us Quinn to adore, you’ve come to the right place!

4.5 Stars!

Aurora Rose Reynolds's Happily Ever Alpha World is back with its next book and y'all, what a book. Evan Grace gives us Until Mic and my heart. My freaking heart.

All the heart. All the heart. All the steam. All the swoon. MIC, Quinn, and their plus one were everything in all the moments they had and their journey was unforgettable. From the moment these two connect again, all bets are off and I couldn't get enough. Mic will taking less than ALL from both his girls and I was here. for. it.

I can't wait for the next from both Evan Grace and this addicting world.

I highly recommend this book.

Until Mic is such a sweet story and a wonderful addition to the Until Series.

Mic and Quinn had a wonderful weekend together years ago, then Mic left without a word. Eleven years later they run into each other at Quinn’s job and find out they still have a connection, but Quinn has a big secret and there’s danger lurking about. Can Mic and Quinn have their second chance?

I loved this story so much. Mic is a super sexy biker and Quinn is a strong, sassy woman. Maci is such a sweetheart and all the side characters definitely make this story more enjoyable.

I literally could not stop reading this. So much so that I didn’t get a lot of sleep. It was that good. Mic and Quinn get a second chance at being together. They first met when he was on leave from the Navy. As with all the others of the Broken Eagles MC, Mic felt the Boom though not like the others. They meet again about 10 years later. A happy ending indeed for them.

This is the story of Mic, Quinn and Maci. Mic met Quinn 11 years before when she was 18 and he was on leave for the military. They fell hard for each other but went their separate ways. But Quinn ended up pregnant and gave birth to Maci. To support her child Quinn became Q, a nightclub dancer and thats where she runs into Mic some 11 years later in a town they have moved to.

Mic finds out he has a daughter and he is beyond happy. In addition it brings him Quinn who has always had strong feelings for. I loved how into he is for Quinn and Maci and that he understands why she dances and doesn't have issues with that. The relationship between the three of them was really awesome.

However Quinn has a stalker and how will Mic protect his newly found family? You will have to read this sweet, hot and romantic story to find out for yourself.

I received a complimentary early release copy of this e-book from the author prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Wow. Was für eine tolle Geschichte. In diesem Buch geht es um Michael (Mic) und Quinn. Beide kennen sich von früher. Nach Jahren treffen beide wieder aufeinander. Doch etwas ist anders. Diese Tatsache verändert das Leben von beiden. Aber auch nach Jahren ist die Anziehungskraft zwischen den beiden noch vorhanden. Worum es im Buch geht könnt ihr im Klappentext nachlesen. Die Charaktere sind super ausgearbeitet und kommen sehr authentisch rüber. Michael (Mic) und Quinn sind zwei wundervolle Charaktere. Beide habe ich sofort ins Herz geschlossen. Ich konnte das Buch nicht aus der Hand legen. Für mich hatte das Buch alles was man sich wünscht. Das Cover ist toll und passt super zum Buch. Der Schreibstil der Autorin ist absolut fesselnd und mitreißend. Die unterschiedlichen Perspektiven haben mir super gefallen, da man sich so super in die Charaktere hineinversetzen kann. Ich kann das Buch nur weiterempfehlen. Ich hatte wundervolle Lesestunden. Absolute Leseempfehlung. ❤️❤️❤️

I enjoyed Mic and Quinn's story. I was glad when Mic was reunited with Quinn and in turn was able to finally meet and love Maci. He was rightfully understanding at the situation as Quinn had no way to get in touch with him to tell him about Maci.

I loved how everyone in Mic's family was so welcoming to Quinn and Maci. They all opened up their arms to them and was there to support them all. Mic was just the perfect hero. I was expecting some other woman drama from the way his first chapter started but that wasn't the case. As soon as he saw Quinn for the first time in 12 years, he only had eyes for her.

There was just enough suspense weaved into this story, that you kept reading to see what might happen next. This was a great installment to the Happily Ever Alpha World and it was nice to see some of our favorites from ARR's books.

July throws Mic a birthday party of sorts at Teasers, and that's where he gets a glimpse of Quinn and knows exactly who she is. The two had connected years ago while he was on leave, they had a great weekend and he left her asleep in the hotel room with no way to contact each other. Little did he know he left her with more than memories.

Since Until July when we first "meet" Mic, I have been wanting his story, well it's finally here and it did NOT disappoint! This was a really good read filled with drama, danger, mystery, and some ok naughty bits. I give this 4 stars.

I love Evan Grace's books so when I saw that she was writing in one of my all time favorite series I knew I had to read it!! And I was so glad I did!! Mic had all of the alpha, overprotective, strong characteristics that Aurora's men always have. And Quinn although vulnerable also was strong. And as soon as they saw each other again all of the sparks came back and Mic realized that yes it was the #BOOM that all his brothers had been talking about and that's why she was the one woman he could never forget. I loved all the twist turns and surprises this book had to offer!!! And I highly recommend it!!!

Sweet sexy and loved how ASL was portrayed. Maci was so smart and sweet for her age. It isn’t a boom without some drama and we get that too with a satisfying end. I enjoyed reading this and how Mic didn't hesitate in stepping up when he finds out the truth. The chemistry was great.

I did have a hard time with some of the dialogue. They would say “ahem” before many sentences like they’re pausing. But it was redundant and didn’t sound good.

Otherwise, it's a great addition to the Happily Ever Alpha World and loved seeing so many of my favorites.

OMG, such a wonderful story, i absolutely loved reading Quinn and Mic HEA.
It was such a beautiful story, it flowed nicely, i couldn’t stop reading and just finished the book. You need a HEA, that is very romantic, sweet and just want to be in a nice calm bubble, (there is som drama) but other then that, it just was a very well written. This book put me in a happy place, where in the real world there is so much chaos, i was able to stay in my happy bubble. 5 stars.

Awe Mic will make your heart swoon!! Quinn is sweet, strong & so likable. This story was sweet, some angst with lots of hot chemistry. These characters fit perfectly into the Until world. The way these two meet originally & then again years later was great. Parts of the story seemed slow at times but still an enjoyable read.
I recommend this book. Told in dual POV.

Until Mic was a beautiful second chance romance immersed in the Happily Ever Alpha World. Quinn and Mic run into each other 11 years after one amazing weekend, where Mic discovers he is a Dad. All the things he didn’t think he wanted he now craves. As the chemistry and sparks still ignite between these two it will takes us on a beautiful journey of love and family. Their story has not only romance but some angst and suspense to have you gripped to the pages. An entertaining story that has you caught up in their world with passion, drama and plenty of emotions.

This books fits the "BOOM" perfectly. I loved that Quinn let Mic in on something right away. My (and I do mean my) issue is I was saying in my head "Until Mic(k)" but then found out his name is Michael and starting questioning myself if it was "Until Mi(ke)" stupid, I know but it kept going round my head.

Mic & Quinn

She's the best mom ever. A bit of a struggle but she'll do whatever it takes. He's a good guy. When all his friends seem to be finding their HEA he wonders what he's going to do about it. Meet Quinn that's what. Especially when she tells him that the no-last-name weekend they spend years ago gave her the gift of a daughter. No way to find him she's raised their daughter alone. He falls instantly for both of them.

A great story of love, romance, and family. While they don't commit to insta-love it is within reach. Watching the three of them and their friends makes for a great read. But nothing is that simple. The past comes back to haunt her. Will he be able to keep his girls safe?

I love the series and this is one of my favorites. Sit back with your favorite drink and enjoy.

Well this was my first time experiencing The Boom, and Evan Grace once again has written a fabulous story with some amazing characters. Now I don’t honestly know if some or all of the minor characters have popped up in previous books, but what I do know is that Mic & Quinn are so very good together. I liked how once they meet again and Quinn tells him he is a father they just work together to become this wonderful little family. Of course feelings were going to happen and I couldn’t get enough of them making that step.
There is some suspense and drama as well. It took me awhile but I did somewhat work out who was behind it all. This book had a little bit of everything in it that would appeal to so many readers. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book

I am usually not a big fan of MC books. But this one was amazing.
You know how things go. Guys meets pretty girl and they hook up for a week end. See ya bye!!!! Well for Mic and Quinn it was way more then that.
The best part for me was when they see each other all those years later.
Just amazing
