Okay hold on sec, while I compose myself.Holy oxygen, holy smokes batman, holy jeepers. So this book is straight non-stop in your face action. It’s like a never ending rollercoaster of “whaaaaaaaat” and “no way” and “that b**ch” or “b**ches” in this case.So according to the author’s note Until the End is really a bridge between book 1 and the soon to come book 3 and oh man what a bridge. So at the start of this book Lauren and Mishca are on not so good terms, they are both emotionally wrecked by everything that has taken place and come to light by the end of book 1. Lauren is torn between forgiving the man she loves despite all the secrets he kept from her and moving on with her life without him.  When Lauren finally makes a decision to forgive Mishca she soon finds how much her of her life will be changed forever and Mishca finds out how much he is willing to sacrifice for the women he can’t live without.There are several new characters that come to play in this book and some old ones as well. There are more twists and turns, there is betrayal, murder, deceit, jealously, and then there is love, loyalty, and family. Miller shows us both sides of the coin in this book with the two protagonists. We see Mishca as brutal leader and vicious Captain but we also see him as loving faithful and vulnerable lover. We see Lauren as a scared unaware, and nave girl but also as the determined, fierce woman who when pushed can unleash her own form of defense to protect herself. Until the end places many obstacles in the way of Mishca and Lauren’s relationship there is an old flame, another crime family and an even more devious plan in the works. As far smexy time, there are a few steamy scenes between Lauren and Mishca that will have you fanning your face, one in particular I have dubbed “angry, possession, hot tamale” sex, but you will enjoy it when you get there trust me, you may even need a cigarette after. But those scenes don’t overtake the book which I was really happy about. I liked how the story almost pushed the reader to see how insanely dangerous Lauren and Mishca’s relationship was and what they were risking in deciding to pursue it. There is so much preventing Mishca and Lauren from their happiness that as a reader you begin to question if the idea of pursuing their love is even sane or worth it but of course it’s’ love and what is worth more than that.The book ends with yet another saucy cliffhanger and another revelation that will lead into one of those “no way” moments as stated earlier and will have you definitely wanting for book 3.
