Until You Can't

By: Brittney Sahin

Narrated by: 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.

Another great listen

I always look forward to Brittney Sahin’s audio versions of her books. Although I read it, the audio is just so much better. I listen to this one on a flight across country and was surprised when we started to land because I was so caught up in the story.

Amazing

I love brittneys books. this is a little different than what she normally writes. but she nailed it!!! I loved to growth in the book. I loved that you got to see other characters from other books. Ava and Jason did an awesome job with the narration.

Forbidden romantic suspense with great narration!

Really good forbidden romance with some tragedy thrown in to complicate everything. Narration by Jason and Ava was once again excellent! I love these heroes!

Unable to stop listening .

Had to listen every spare minute ; early morning and to late in the evening.

Really good read

I really enjoyed this book. I wish they would have done more with them as younger friends. But even still it was a great story!!!

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.
