Welcome back to the resort town of Pine Valley.

As Livvy and Mason overcome her initial rudeness and strike up a friendship, Livvy fights her growing attraction to the author who has become a staple in her library. She’s happy with the boyfriend she had—the doctor she’s dreamed of since her childhood—isn’t she?

Heather B. Moore takes Livvy and her readers on a journey of discovery. Love can’t be planned or manipulated to our agendas. And as both Mason and Livvy form a foundation of friendship, they find that sometimes surprises that can’t be plotted are the best kind.

All of us dream about who we want to marry when we are young but as we get older those dreams tend to fade or adapt as we mature. For Livvy, her dreams of marrying a doctor are still as strong as they were when she was a child, to the point to where she is in a loveless relationship, only because of her boyfriends profession. As you're reading the interaction between Livvy and Slade, you cringe, seeing the one-sidedness of the relationship. Slade is a complete jerk, putting his job first and not taking into consideration Livvy's feelings, but what's worse is that Livvy puts up with it for as long as she does! The thing that really got me is that he only kissed her a few times their entire relationship, which lasted for months! Are you kidding me?! That right there alone would raise a red flag for me and then how he starts giving her attention only after Mason starts showing her attention. How awful! No woman deserves to be treated that way.

Mason's warmth, on the other hand, can be felt straight through the pages. You can see that he is a kindhearted man, immediately putting Livvy's needs above his own, despite an incredibly tight deadline for his next book, and before he even started having feelings for her. There was one thing that did bother me about part of the storyline, which has to do with when Mason and Livvy finally get together, but to give details would be to give spoilers and I do not like to put spoilers in my reviews, and this detail did not ruin the story for me, but I do feel like it needed to be mentioned. Their relationship is sweet and I love that their friends celebrate the blossoming love.

Other than that one caveat, Until We Kissed is hands down my favorite book in the Pine Valley Series to date. The characters are charming and the premise is wonderful! I've always dreamed of being a librarian and for a librarian to fall in love with an author?! Swoon!! It is a quick, sweet read that will have you smiling through to the end. Highly recommend! ( )
