I had a free copy of this book, but this is my voluntary and honest opinion. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book by Valerie Bodden. The themes of redemption and forgiveness were well written and the plot interesting. I enjoyed the character development and the family reconciliations that were addressed.
Not Until You was an emotional and gripping story that touched my heart and dug deeply into the topics of grief, forgiveness, and consequences for actions. It is book three in the Hope Springs series, yet can easily be read and enjoyed as a stand alone novel.
I really felt for the two main characters, Violet and Nate. Violet was still hurting from the death of her husband, but was beginning to take a few steps small steps forward. It was interesting to watch as she began to develop feelings for Nate. The hope of life and love battled against guilt within her.
Nate was a character I liked a lot. I felt very sorry for him and wanted for him to find the forgiveness only possible through Jesus. His journey toward forgiving himself and falling in love with Violet was wonderful. I enjoyed this story from start to finish.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are my own.
Not Until you is a very moving book to read. Two wounded hearts find each other and find healing with God, each other and friends. It’s a heart-warming story with a message of forgiveness, love and hope. I couldn’t stop reading this book and the story really moved me. I got this book for free for an honest review.
Five stars for this book, for the genuineness of its characters. They were “real” people, with hurts, issues and struggles. I could relate to them. The unfolding romance with its ups and downs, was also a factor that kept me reading this well-written book.
Violet has lost her husband and seeks solace in the grace of the Lord. Nate makes a decision that is life changing and he pushed the Lord away. Sometimes it is harder to forgive ourselves and others than for the Lord to forgive us. This book made me think about how unforgiving I can be and has kept me thinking. A romance but also a story of family, forgiveness, redemption and starting again.
This was such an emotional book. The story just touched my heart so much. I have been struggling to forgive myself for things in my past and this book has helped me tremendously. I always come away with lessons from reading Christian Romance books because the authors are amazing that way. I am so glad that I found Valerie Bodden books, she is on my favorite authors list and I couldn’t be happier. I am getting ready to purchase the rest of the Hope Springs books. Great job by Valerie Bodden
