About This Audiobook

Aria doesn’t just need a job—she needs a lifeline when her brother’s best friend, ruggedly charming lawyer Dex, offers her one on the spot. But this isn’t some sugar-coated reunion; it’s a hostile takeover of Aria’s pride and independence. Maura crafts a contemporary romance that thrives on friction, where resentment simmers under every forced smile and the chemistry between Aria and Dex crackles like a live wire. The stakes aren’t just emotional—they’re literal, as Aria’s precarious living situation mirrors the shaky trust between her and Dex. If you crave romances where attraction is the only thing harder to ignore than the problems piled in front of them, this is your next addiction. The dialogue is razor-sharp, the tension is relentless, and the emotional payoff tastes like victory.

The narration duo of CJ Bloom and Teddy Hamilton elevates the experience into must-listen territory. Bloom’s Aria is a masterclass in controlled fireworks—her delivery shifts from brittle resilience to melting vulnerability in a heartbeat, making every emotional beat land. Hamilton’s Dex is less a man and more a force of nature, his voice dripping with the kind of arrogance that makes you both want to slap and kiss him. The dual narration never feels disjointed; instead, it mirrors the push-and-pull of the couple’s dynamic, making the audiobook feel like eavesdropping on a private conversation you can’t look away from.

Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I went into *Until You* expecting a standard forced-proximity trope, but Maura delivered a story that punches far above its weight. Aria’s journey from shattered to resilient isn’t just about her career—it’s about reclaiming her identity when every structure around her crumbles. The chemistry with Dex isn’t instant; it’s earned through ugly fights and reluctant admissions, which makes their eventual connection feel earned. My only gripe? The side characters, especially Aria’s brother, feel like afterthoughts. Their roles don’t add depth; they dilute the focus on Aria and Dex, making the emotional core feel a little lopsided at times. The narration is where this audiobook truly shines. CJ Bloom doesn’t just read Aria’s lines—she *lives* in them. Her performance captures the exhaustion and defiance in Aria’s voice so perfectly that you’ll feel every sleepless night. Teddy Hamilton’s Dex is a revelation, though. His voice is the auditory equivalent of a smirk—smug, smooth, and impossible to resist, even when he’s being an insufferable know-it-all. The only hiccup? The pacing drags slightly in the middle act, where the tension feels stretched thinner than it needs to be. But once the story hits its stride, it’s a ride you won’t want to end. This is a romance that respects your intelligence while still giving you the feels, and the narration sells it like a blockbuster.
