It's LIVE!!!!

This can be read as a standalone easily. And it is my favorite of the series. Hands down. It deals with some very sensitive topics that I wanted to be sensitive in how I handled.

It's purely a coincidence that I started reading this book the day before the 2nd anniversary of its publication date. I read the previous 3 books in 2015- they were actually the first books I had read of Ms. Ryan's and they turned me into a life-long fan! Anyway, I think I needed this break in between those books and this one, to give Sofie a chance to stand on her own. She wasn't the most likeable character to put it mildly, and I don't know if I would have appreciated her story as much if I h

Anyway, I think I needed this break in between those books and this one, to give Sofie a chance to stand on her own. She wasn't the most likeable character to put it mildly, and I don't know if I would have appreciated her story as much if I had read it any sooner. Until I'm Yours will take everything you thought you knew about Sofie Baston and turn it on its head.
While this book does relate to the 3 other books in the Bennett series it could definitely be read as a standalone.

Once again Ms. Ryan has blown me with her storytelling. Sofie's story wasn't an easy one, and it's kind of crazy how relevant it is to what's going on in the world today. It'll open yours eye to a lot of things, and it'll make you realize that people really do show us only what they want us to see. There's so much more to people than what meets the eye and Sofie is a prime example of this. She's rich, beautiful, and glamorous. On the surface you'd think she had it all, but you'd be wrong. Sofie is scarred. She's been hurt. She has secrets that no one knows about. But she's so strong and brave. You'll be awed by her toughness, by her spirit, by her resilience. You'll be firmly #TeamSofie by the end of this book.

I can't end this review without mentioning Trevor Bishop! If I had major girl crush going on with Sofie, it was a total swoonfest with Trevor. I love a good guy hero and Trevor is such a good guy! I loved how he "saw" Sofie and didn't let her hide or shy away from him. He got her, and don't we all just want someone who gets us?!? There needs to be more Trevor Bishops in this world.

If you haven't had a chance to pick up the Bennett series, what are you waiting for??? I can't recommend all 4 of these books enough. The writing will captivate you, the characters will endear themselves to you, and you'll never want the stories to end. ...more

I am completely blown away by Until I'm Yours!
We first met Sofie in When You Are Mine (The Bennetts #1). She was a secondary character that seemingly had few redeeming qualities. I have to confess when I heard she was the "heroine" of this installment of the Bennett series, I wondered how Ms. Ryan was going to make her into someone we could appreciate.
Sofie is a classic example of how appearances can be deceiving. As we got to know her in Until I'm Yours, we discovered that the cold, ice princ I am completely blown away by Until I'm Yours!

Sofie is a classic example of how appearances can be deceiving. As we got to know her in Until I'm Yours, we discovered that the cold, ice princess persona hid a very intelligent woman with a warm heart. I appreciated the fact that she owned her imperfections, even if there were times when she was too hard on herself.
One of the things I was curious about going into this book, was the man who would be Sofie's love interest. Trevor is just amazing! I love how he got Sofie from the word go and understood that he would have to push her for more than a superficial fling.
The relationship between these two was so much fun! Trevor is practically perfect, but in such a way that you want to get to know him. He sets the tone for their relationship early by insisting they get to know each other. He also sees something in Sofie that most don't bother to and that support and faith helps her blossom. As fantastic the super sexy Trevor is and as wonderful as the relationship is - this is really Sofie's story. She reminds me of a caterpillar turning into a butterfly as she embraces the emotional changes that come her way and taps into an inner strength I don't think she realized was there.
Until I'm Yours fits well in The Bennetts series, but it truly is a stand alone effort. Kerris and Walsh (the main characters in The Bennetts #1 and #2) make several appearances in supporting roles and it's great to catch up with them, but you could easily start the series with this book.
Ms. Ryan continues to out do herself with The Bennetts series. I enjoyed #1 and 2. I thought #3 (Cam and Jo) was my favorite, then I read Sofie and Trevor's story and have a new favorite now! ...more

Loved it!! I didn't think it would be possible to like Sophie, but I do. And Trevor is the best, he is my favorite in the Bennett series hands down! The writing, the story line, everything was just full of class and grace just like the author. I am sad this series is over, but looking forward to whatever else Kennedy has for us. ...more
