Until Korry: A Childhood Friends to Lovers Romance (Pulsetones Rock Gods Book 4) Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 156 ratings

She was my best friend. My first love. My biggest regret.

I spent ten years convincing myself she was waiting for me.

Blaire Hutton—my best friend, my anchor, my first and only love. She was the girl I grew up with, the one who saw me before the world did, back when I was just a nerdy kid with piano lessons I hated.

Then Screaming Shadows happened. One minute, I was playing in a garage band. The next, I was selling out stadiums. And the night before I left on my first big tour, Blaire made a pact with me—if we were still single by thirty, we’d marry each other. I took that promise and held onto it like a damn lifeline, convinced that no matter how much time passed, she’d always be mine in the end.

I was wrong.

At twenty-nine, I finally came home, ready to put down roots, only to find out Blaire is getting married. And not to me.

She won’t even return my calls.

Now, thanks to my meddling sister, Blaire is spending the next few weeks painting my house. The girl I’ve spent a decade longing for is suddenly right here, moving through my space, filling it with memories I never got to make.

I should let her go. I should walk away and let her have the life she’s built without me.

But when she looks at me like that… like maybe, just maybe, she’s not as sure about him as she thought—how the hell am I supposed to let her go now?

Until Korry is perfect for fans of childhood friends-to-lovers, second chances, and the kind of heartbreak that makes the happily-ever-after that much sweeter.

Korry was a rockstar now, but he always remembered the pact with Blaire they’d get married before they were thirty. He never expected Blaire would get married, which results in a media frenzy, which of course the band has to manage, leaving Korry not knowing if he can forgive Blaire. Korry has a lot to work out – is he in love with Blaire or the idea of being in love with her, while trying to keep his public image undamaged. As always, your taken on an incredible journey while Korry works towards his happiness, which involved cookies and frozen peas 😆

    I have enjoyed this series and was totally blown away by Korry's story. It is so good and shows a side of the keyboard player I didn't expect.
    Korry is a sweet, loyal friend. He will do anything for those he cares about. I expected a love story between him and Blaire.
    I LOVED Bernadette!!! She is an amazing woman, good at what she does and happy in her own skin. Fantastic book!

    Love this whole series but by far Korry is my favorite! This fast paced, page turner was hard to put down! The sexy interaction between the main characters was super hot and loved that the secondary characters remain as a big part of the story too!

    Another book in the Rock Gods rockstar series and this time it's Korry's story which had so many ups & downs but took a direction i didn't see coming and was surprised by. I really enjoyed getting back into the rockstar world but it also had an emotional pull to it that made you feel for the characters but I mostly want to have an own Korry in my life. Can't wait to see what's next in store!
    When Korry has a few days off, he's planning to get back to his house to make a few arrangements to finally make it a home. When his sister makes a suggestion to use his best friend to help him out, he isn't too eager to but he'll try to give it a chance although it doesn't really work out the way he thought it would be as Blaire doesn't seem like the girl he has always known. Now soon to be married, it seems a lot has changed and nothing seems the same, even though there are still parts of their relationship underneath. As things soon escalate, it'll be a lot to overcome but there might be a bright light ahead, in the way nobody expected...

    I've been looking forward to reading Korry's story from the rock band Screaming Shadows as he's always been in the background. From experience I know that K.L Shandwick will deliver a kick ass story for him, I wonder what craziness awaits him?

    This story has less band shenanigans than the others, instead it concentrates on the man that Korry has grown into and his coming to terms with his childhood memories. Don't get me wrong, he's as much a bad boy as the other's, always drinking, getting stoned and living the "free love", but a childhood sweetheart always kept him grounded... well, maybe a little.

    When circumstances with his boyhood crush change Korry ends up running to her, however, what he finds is not what his memories had him feeling for so long. He is forced to reevaluate his situation, and to keep the bad publicity away he enters in to another false relationship...sigh.

    Korry struggles to come to terms with all the confusing, unexpected and genuine feelings life has thrown at him, but watching him mature and respect the women in his life is awesome. His past and present collide, forcing him to really listen to his heart.
    I was shouting at the screen trying to make him see the gorgeous and genuine girl in front of him, but all those drugs must have watered down his brain lol.

    The last few chapters of the story where the whole band go to Vegas to chill turns into one uncomfortable wake up call after another. But the kind and strong man that he is has him standing his ground against his bandmates and taking the hand of the girl that he finally accepts has had his heart for a long time.

    I love that K.L Shandwick delves deep into her characters flaws and takes them on their journey of discovery and acceptance. They are only human after all, if a bit stupid most of the time...
    Great writing.

    Korry is passionate and at time letting his anger get ahead of him, but he loves fiercely and protects those he loves. so when things take a turn w/ his best female friend since childhood he is surprised that the spark isn't present like he always thought it would be.

    Bernadette plays a role in helping korry keep appearances for his sake, but afraid her heart may be broken in the end. she finds out that korry has true feelings and doesn't want her to be kept a secret. what they have is real and he isn't afraid to let everyone know.

    I was not expecting for this read to end the way it did, but happy with the end result. easy read with funny moments.

    I was captivated by the journey of Korry, a former unpopular kid who transforms into a rock star. His transformation from a piano-hating student to a member of the renowned band Screaming Shadows is both dramatic and inspiring. The central theme of unrequited love for his best friend, Blaire, adds a poignant layer to the story. Their pact to marry if still single by 30 adds an interesting twist, especially with Blaire's impending marriage. Korry's tumultuous emotions and fake relationship with Bernadette, the band's PA, are brilliantly portrayed amidst media chaos. Shandwick's writing style is deeply emotional and engaging, making this book a standout in the Pulsetunes Rock Gods series. The blend of love, drama, and friendship makes it an enthralling read.

    Well, Korry's story was not what I was expecting! I knew it was going to be good, these Screaming Shadow rockstars have all been fantastic, but there were unexpected twists, turns and surprises with the direction Until Korry went and I loved it.

    Korry is the bands keyboard player, so doesn't get quite the media attention Jude, Levi and Deakon get, but that's all about to change. Despite having grown up in a loving family, with a childhood best friend who saw beyond his geeky, awkwardness and for whom he'd do anything for, (even a marriage pact) we do see a surprising vulnerability regarding his place in the band, despite his talent and confidence. He is a beautiful man inside and out. Kind, thoughtful, loyal, flirty, fun and very forgiving, perhaps a bit too much on occasions, but that shows how big his heart is.

    I think you're going to love Korry's path to love, I know I did and can't wait for more!

    We’ve all made promises to childhood friends, believing at the time that we will keep our promises. Korry and Blair made a childhood promise, that Korry believes is his destiny to fulfil. Except he is broken when he discovers Blaine is preparing to marry someone else.
    Korry does what he thinks is the right thing which triggers a chain reaction none of them were prepared.for.
    Bernadette the bands ever trusty pa, offers Korry a helping hand in trying to repair his public profile by offering to fake date Korry.
    The rest I shall leave you to discover between the covers of this fantastic rollercoaster ride that Korry & Bernadette go on
