4.5 stars
Until You was a great story to read! I really enjoyed Kate and David, but also the secondary characters like Laura and Julie.
Kate is one of those characters I just couldn't help but love - she had been through a lot of bad shit with her ex-husband, and she had very little self confidence. And when she met David, she still didn't really believe she deserved happiness or love. Good thing he was so stubborn!

I've read everything Jeannie Moon has written to date and I've loved all of it.

Kate's plate is full, she is a mother to a 17-year old girl and her ex-husband is a giant turd who manipulates everyone.  Kate is all too aware of her ex's manipulations because she was a victim of it for years.  David is a 29-year old hockey player when he meets Kate  and they hook up.  Their chemistry and connection is immediate and neither one anticipates how their lives will intertwine.

I came into this book thinking that it would be solely about the love story between Kate and David, it's not.  There is a lot going on in this book. A lot.  There are so many layers.  Relationships between friends, family members and lovers.  Kate has to deal with her feelings for David, her teenage daughter and her piece of crap ex- husband.  This book is chock full of real -life complications.

Kate wonders about David and his age and whether or not her age would be an issue. Would he tire of her like her ex did and want a woman his own age at some point?  Her ex- husband did a number on her self-esteem and understandably, she has some insecurities.  I'll admit that I had a very hard time with Kate's decisions regarding David at times.  But, then I began to understand how her ex's treatment of her deeply impacted her feelings about herself and the decisions she makes. Kate's ex-husband also manipulates their daughter in an attempt to turn her against Kate.  I'm telling you, the ex is a piece of work.  Laura, Kate's daughter engages in a romance of her own that I was equally interested in.  Laura and Jack were so sweet together.

I'm REALLY, REALLY  (hint, hint, Jeannie Moon and Tule Publishing ) hoping we get another book with more from these characters. I think there is still so much to explore between Kate and David and her daughter and the guy she fell in love with.   Complications abound for Kate's daughter and the man/boy she fell so hard for and I'd love to read more about all four of them.

Until You is about more than just David and Kate's romance, it's a story about a family, it's ups and downs and how it changes and recreates itself.
