Editoral Review
Until Talon by Aurora Rose Reynolds is a contemporary romance novel that was first published in July 2020. Reynolds is a New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author who has written over 35 novels in various genres, including romance, romantic suspense, and contemporary.
Reynolds has garnered a large following on social media platforms, such as Instagram and Facebook, and is widely known for her alpha-male heroes and strong heroines. Until Talon is a part of the Until Him/Her series, which focuses on the romantic relationships of various members of the Mayson family.
The book follows Talon Mayson, a strong and protective CEO who falls in love with Asia Jenson, a feisty and independent woman. The two characters have a history that ties them together, and as they navigate through their feelings, they are forced to confront their past and present struggles in order to be together.
The setting of the novel takes place in the present day, and although there are no historical or cultural significances to the book, Reynolds does touch on current events and issues. The themes of Until Talon include family, betrayal, love, and second chances, all of which are explored through the perspectives of the main characters, Talon and Asia.
Reynolds also does an exceptional job of addressing mental health issues, such as PTSD, and incorporates it into the story in a thoughtful and meaningful way. One of the strengths of Until Talon is Reynolds’ excellent storytelling ability, which includes gripping dialogue and well-developed characters.
The pacing of the story is steady and keeps the reader engaged, and the plot structure is well-crafted, allowing for minimal predictability while still maintaining the element of surprise. The romance between Talon and Asia is sweet and steamy, and Reynolds’ portrayal of the supporting characters is well-rounded, giving the reader subtle hints of what might be coming next in the series.
However, there are few limitations to the book, including a lack of originality in terms of tropes and plot, as well as some inconsistencies in character development. While Reynolds does incorporate some unique elements into the story, Until Talon still follows a familiar formula within the romance genre.
Overall, Until Talon is a solid addition to the Until Him/Her series and is sure to delight romance readers looking for a steamy and engaging read. The realistic portrayal of mental health issues and the well-developed characters are standout features of the book, and Reynolds’ storytelling ability is nothing short of masterful.
I highly recommend this book for romance enthusiasts, and I give it a rating of 4 out of 5 stars.
