Tamsen Parker recommended "A Love Thing" anthology to me, and this book was apart of it - so I figured it was only right to leave a small review of this book on it's own page as well as the anthology when I finish that book.

My first introduction to this book is the nurse Autumn (our main character) who's working part time at the hospital (and isn't getting paid well, apparently) and part time at a gentleman's club.

The first chapter of this book made me think I wasn't going to like it - I've never really been into the club scene for any books. Then when Autumn moves away and the romance starts - wow! I was obsessed! I was hooked instantly, but then as the relationship between Kenton and Autumn continued, I started feeling... iffy.

My only issue is that I think the relationship between Kenton and Autumn is weird - it's forceful, sometimes a little abusive in my eyes, and... interesting? I like the plot of the book, but the relationship is where I feel off. If there relationship wasn't so brutal, I'd probably be insanely obsessed with this novel. It might be because I've had my own really bad relationships so their relationship gives me bad vibes... Despite that, I still liked the book. I still want to continue reading the series, but the book doesn't match my typical read.

That being said, Aurora Rose Reynolds is incredibly talented and her writing style is fantastic. I really enjoyed her writing since it flows smoothly and keeps you hooked at every turn. The "Assumptions" title and the assumptions in the story is a really nice twist too! Don't judge a book by it's cover, clearly!

The finale of the book is the best part for me. I love when a story can be tied together, and Aurora did it just perfectly. Six out of five stars for the ending!

Overall, these books are clearly fantastic and are made for a certain audience, and I don't think I'm it. I still really recommend this book if you like the possessive side of romances since Aurora is one talented author. Just because I didn't enjoy it to it's full capacity doesn't mean you won't love it too!

Three out of five stars. ( )

Contrary to the opinion of many reviewers I was very disappointed by this book!

My issues
First of all the way the story is told (mostly from Autumn's pov) seemed to me a little robotic..I don't know, it lacked fluidity and left me quite detached from the characters and to what happened to them

A lot (and I mean A LOT) it's left unsaid and not in the good/suspenseful way, it felt more like the author chose to not losing the time to explain herself, her character's life and their motivation in favor of adding a lot of random events to keep the drama-level high.
It didn't work for me! At all!

As it was pointed out in some other reviews, this book lacked a lot of depth; it was like reading a recap of a story more than the real story itself.
As I said, disappointing!

Even Kenton's alpha-male attitude, probably as a consequence of the previous issues since usually I like it, irritated me.
It seemed forced and his behavior toward Autumn was for me more on the 'assholery' side than the sexy one. I'm not a fan of him.

I loved this book. loved Kenton. A great continuation of the Until series. I would recommend. ( )

So much drama! These books are all about the angst and the drama. This one has a LOT of things going on and sometimes I think it felt a bit rush. I wish some things had been fleshed out a bit more. But, overall, this is exactly what you expect from Aurora Rose Reynolds: alphas who say "my woman" a lot, danger, and drama. I love a book that I know what to expect from and I am always happy with her books! ( )

My review:

We know this is not right, yet we do it every day... make assumptions. This is what this book revolves around. Sometimes I wonder how much in life I have missed out on because of these assumptions. Kenton makes assumptions about Autumn from the first second that they met. And it just goes downhill from there. But the alpha male decides enough games and the heat is on... Throw in a psycho sort of ex and a mafia hit man into the mix and this book just explodes.

I love Aurora Rose Reynolds books! I cannot wait for the next one. So please don't let us suffer too long without a good book-fix!


Synopsis:

as·sump·tion:

a thing that is accepted as true or as certain to happen, without proof

They say when you assume that you make an ass out of you and me. Kenton Mayson learned this lesson firsthand when he made assumptions about Autumn Freeman and the kind of woman she is based on what little information he had. What he finds out is she’s not only beautiful, but also smart, funny, a fighter, and exactly the kind of woman he wants to share his life with. Autumn made assumptions of her own about Kenton, and now he needs to prove her wrong in order to protect her and their future.
