Until Lydia Kindle Edition

4.3 out of 5 stars 238 ratings

Award-winning author E.M. Shue is back with another installment in the Happily Ever Alpha World by USA Today and New York Times best-selling author Aurora Rose Reynolds.

Can a wild mama bear and an orderly Tennessee State Trooper fight the BOOM?

There are two sides to Lydia Roark. The wild, fun-loving woman who fights hard to protect bears and other animals. And the strait-laced, doting mother of twins who dresses properly and covers her tattoos so not to embarrass her husband. But when her life blows up in a silicon, Botoxed way, her fiery side is unleashed. The cheating husband she struggled to be perfect for will beg for mercy as Lydia fights for her children and becomes the mama bear she studies.

Enter Maverick Whitlock, the argumentative state trooper has a bear problem and is instantly attracted to the curvy and newly single mom. He’s orderly and everything she doesn’t want anymore. He only wants to protect her and is okay with the chaos she and her children bring to his life.

When Lydia’s ex comes after her and the kids, Maverick is willing to give up his badge for them. Lydia isn’t ready for another attempt at a happily ever after. But you can’t fight the BOOM when it finds you.


Until Lydia is part of Aurora Rose Reynolds's Happily Ever Alpha World. If you loved Until Tucker and Until Cobi, then you will want to read Until Lydia.

    I love everything that is entwined with Until series and the boom. The chemistry, characters and every part of the story was wonderfully written. I will look into the author and read her past and future works.

    This book was so much fun to read! Lydia makes one last effort to put the spark back in her marriage. Things didn't go as planned. Suddenly, she's in for the fight of her life, and dealing with attorneys. At work, a baby bear has been brought in. He is too young to leave his mother and is sick. Enter, Maverick. He is with the Kentucky State Police investigating an animal smuggling ring. Lydia faces off with him, and lets him know where the zoo stands regarding the baby bear. Needless to say, when they meet, sparks flew. Lydia is in for a whirlwind of emotions but is up for the challenge. Maverick will do anything to keep her and her kids safe. Little does he know, his skills are going to be put to the test. Danger is lurking, and it's up to Maverick and his friends to take care of the problem. Can he get to Lydia in time to save her from a madman? Get this book and find out. I promise you won't regret it. Sorry no spoilers. I was given this ARC and here is my honest review.

    Lydia is a single mother to twins who is going through a contentious divorce. She meets Maverick when everything just seems to be going wrong. Maverick wants to protect Lydia and her kids and he does. The boom strikes again.

    Loved it!!! I went back and reread Until Tucker first (and loved it all over again). Maverick and Lydia’s story is the other half of Tucker & Sydney’s story. I could not put it down. I was on edge almost the whole book! The Boom is strong with this couple. ❤️

    Such a sweet romance. There are dark parts with the heroines ex but the hero is dreamy. They get their sweet HEA and we get to see characters make cameos from the until series. I loved this and it only took me a couple of hours to read .
  • Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2023
    Somewhat frustrating but mostly entertaining storyline. Liked Mav a lot but Lydia’s thoughts and actions were frustrating. If I had all that family money, two young kids to protect and a highly deranged and violent ex and his fiancée after them and physically assaulting her…I would’ve done anything to create a bubble of protection around me & my kids! Instead, she was so wishy washy and pushed back on being fully protected. But, I did want to read through the end to find out what happens. And I always like catching up with the Mason family.

    Omg I cannot say enough about this book! HOT, sexy cop that knows what he wants when he sees it. Lydia is getting out of a nasty divorce that turns worse than she can ever imagine. Maverick is there for it all and at Lydia’s side. The Boom hits again.

    Maverick and Lydia's story is great. I love how Em Shue has put parts of Tucker and Sydney's story with Mavericks and Lydia's.
    Great storyline involving trafficked animals, a zoo, a crazy ex and Maverick and Lydia's boom. Some of the Maysons make a welcomed appearance too.
    Loved it.
