Until You Can't

De: Brittney Sahin

Narrado por: Jason Clarke, Ava Lucas

From Wall Street Journal best-selling author Brittney Sahin comes a thrilling new stand-alone romance.

She was the girl next door. His brother’s ex. And the woman he spent a decade pretending to hate....

After 20 years of service, the Navy told me it’d be too risky to operate again, forcing me to retire as a Navy SEAL. Going back to my hometown to lick my wounds and figure out what came next was never the plan. Neither was having to turn to some old friends to save my younger brother’s life when he wound up in trouble. It was smooth sailing at first. Until I realized my brother lied. And I was falling for my fake girlfriend—my brother’s ex-fiancée.

He wasn’t only my ex’s brother, he was the most frustrating man I’d ever met.

The last person I expected to save me when my Jeep broke down was Ryan Rossi—a distant, broody, sexy man who’d been a thorn in my side for years. I had no time or room for him in my life. I should’ve been on top of the world after my restaurant survived its first year. Instead, I was drowning in debt and living in my childhood home right next door to that handsome thorn.

When Ryan offered help, a favor for a favor, how could I say no? All I had to do was find him a girlfriend within a week. Someone who wasn’t me. Because no way could I offer to fake date him, even if I found myself desiring him at every turn. And yet, the next thing I knew, I was in Tuscany with Ryan down on one knee. For me.

While the relationship may have been fake, the danger wasn’t. And Ryan once again proved not all heroes wear capes.

Great Book!

Held my interest all the way through. Good story line. Great characters. Loved this book!

Great childhood neighbors to lovers story!

Holy cow. Brittney Sahin has been on my radar for a while now and once heard Jason Clarke and Ava Lucas we're narrating this book, I may have moved it to the top of my list 😏

Natalia was once engaged to Anthony (who needs to prove to me he isn't a four letter word in a future book) who is also Ryan's brother. When Ryan is forced to retire from his top-secret classified military job, he eventually moves back home. Being a good brother, when he finds out Anthony is in trouble, he figures out what he needs to do to help him… Which is to get an inheritance he previously declined. But he also needs to get married first.

Ryan asks Natalia (his childhood neighbor - currently back living with her parents) to find someone to fake date for this, it doesn't end up as planned… in more ways than one. Ryan ends up fake dating Natalia and taking her it Italy to prove to his uncle that he will marry her so he can get his inheritance and use it to get his brother out of trouble. The plan to get Anthony out of harm's way doesn't go as planned. What does that mean for Ryan and Naralia?

This book was SO GOOD! I'm so glad it was my first Brittney Sahin book. I understand her other books have more suspense in them which I'm also looking forward to! Jason Clarke and Ava Lucas were amazing at bringing Ryan and Natalia to life!!

THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU IF: You love your romance with a touch of suspense.

sigh.... Ryan....

Story:
I think this has become one of my favorite reads.  I loved this story. The build-up for this story is a slow burn and a perfect example of the right person wrong time.  This is a new standalone, but set in the same world she currently writes in. Personally, I hope it does turn into a new series. Poor Brittney, her side characters are just as memorable as her main characters. Haha. I'm pretty sure all the Book Babes will be begging for even more books now. 
Until You Can't  was a surprise, but it was the beat surprise, a surprise book none of us realized we needed. This had a bunch of fun connections in it. You get to see some of our favorite stealth guys and Noah. Yay!!! I loved the message that was sent in this book. Basically, keep fighting.. until you can't. Ryan and Natalia were so sweet, and in true Sahin book fashion  she has tough as nails leading ladies and men who stand alongside them and worship the ground they walk on. It is powerful! I love it!!!  Cannot wait to see if Brittney pulls out any more surprises.

Narrators:

Jason Clarke is chefs kiss!! he nailed it. Ava Lucas is growing on me. This has been my favorite performance by her.

Love it!!

Another amazing book for Brittney Sahin!! Love the way love the books she writes are connected. Can’t get enough of her stories.

Worth the wait

Absolutely perfect as I find most of Brittany’s books to be. Loved everything about this story will patiently wait for any spin-offs.

Enchanted

I have LOVED all of Brittney Sahin’s book with either reading or listening! The story was well told by author and narrators did a wonderful job. Excited that the Bravo crew made an appearance!!! Looks like I am going back to re-read/listen to them all while waiting for March 2023 to arrive for another fabulous story from Brittney Sahin!

Can't Get Enough

::: chef's kiss ::: (a little homage to Enzo)

Natalia and Ryan are magic. It says "until you can't", but these two prove that the "can't" just isn't in their cards. Even with time and so many things against them, they are making it work and their story is worth every second of reading (or in this case listening). I just loved the story line. Another great work by Brittney.

Such a good slow burn!!

I typically hate slow burns but this one kept me interested and their chemistry was immaculate! The narrators were perfect and did an amazing job I couldn’t stop listening! I can’t wait for Maria and Enzo! And definitely going to check out the previous character books!

Ryan and Natalia

This is a wonderful slow burn friends to lovers romantic suspense. Ryan and Talia are perfect together-made for each other. There was a lot of action, suspense, intrigue as well as sizzling hot chemistry. Jason Clarke and Ava Lucas were absolutely phenomenal in their portrayal of Ryan and Talia. Perfect narration!

Worth while read… love it!

I love the characters and story line… wish it was a series. I am invested.
