BOOKWORM REVIEW: Until Delilah by Harlow Layne
RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
STEAM: 🔥🔥🔥
TRIGGER WARNING: Story discusses partner abuse. There is a scene that contains graphic violence.
I devoured this book in one sitting.
The book opens with Delilah sneaking out with her young son Beckham to run away from her boyfriend. She eventually lands in a small town where she crosses paths with December, Beck's teacher.
December embraces Delilah and Beckham into her network of family and friends, and this is where Delilah meets Max. Max is December's son, who also happens to be a former professional baseball player. Despite Delilah's efforts to keep her distance given her recent relationship issues, she keeps getting drawn to Max, especially since Beckham is a big baseball fan and wants to play in Max's Little League team.
The attraction between Delilah and Max, while instant, was well developed and believable. Because of her past, Delilah struggled with trust and connection, and I love how Max was kind, gentle, and patient with her and Beck.
What also made this book was their network. Delilah and Max's parents were absolutely adorable, and it was great to see them come together in times of happiness or adversity.
**I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.**
Until Delilah is now available.
