4.5 out of 5Oh how I love the Mayson brothers and the stories of their “booms”.  Seriously, this has been one of the most enjoyable series – humor, over bearing men, super cool women, a little angst mixed with crazy, and some good old fashion loving, and Until Nico is another great addition.  There are very few believable instant love connections, but I truly felt it here.  As the mysterious Mayson brother, all tatted and pierced, I wasn’t sure what to expect with Nico.  The big, bad Nico was thrown for a total loop when meeting his sweet librarian Sophie, and with delicious persistence, he finally convinced her to give him a shot.  He was all-consuming from the very start, with his sweetness and possessiveness.  Sophie was a wonderful blend of innocence and undiscovered strength – clearly not the type you’d expect for Nico, which made her all the more perfect.  Their relationship was passionate and felt real.  I thought Nico would be a bit more domineering than he turned out to be.  Not to say that he didn’t have his moments where he steam-rolled (hello baby maker!), but he is a Mayson, and those boys were raised to cherish, meaning complete and utter devotion to their partners.  That is why, with every release in this series, I drop what I am reading and dive in.Just like in the previous books, we get a great peek at the entire family.  I’m trying to decide which Mayson story is my favorite, and Nico and Sophie’s story is right up there with Asher and November for me.  There was something special about watching this man come undone at the hands of Sophie.  My only real complaint is that I wish the book delved deeper in to Nico’s character – I feel it barely scratched the surface on who he is and why.  But I still devoured this book cover to cover.  And thank you Aurora Rose Reynolds for writing real epilogues!  A lost art form these days and she does not disappoint here.  I’m happy and hopeful to see that, with Assumption, we may get the occasional glimpse of the Maysons in the future because I hate for this series to end.
