From New York Times Bestselling Author, S. L. Scott, comes this brand new stand-alone romance.
Their love burned bright, white hot, and strikingly blue around the edges.
Some thought them careless.
Some thought them crazy.
No one approved.
Taylor Barrett was looking for answers in a universe that had abandoned him.
Jude Boehler flooded her dark world with charisma and mystery, drawing … her dark world with charisma and mystery, drawing everyone into her hurricane.
It was a most captivating of love affairs. They were shooting stars, meteors in the sky, colliding to create a spectacularly wonderful reckless romance, leaving them breathless and tethered.
Their souls were exposed to the chaos, bare and vulnerable. Can these two star-crossed lovers survive the madness that is life?

I can’t say enough good things about this book.
As soon as Jude and Hazel meet, they embark on a whirlwind romance. Each of them has secrets, but their love overwhelms the bad, bypasses the logic, and sends them both on a life changing journey.
This book was pure poetry. I’ve been reading Scott’s work since before she started publishing, and this is very much a departure from what I’ve come to expect from her. But, it’s a lovely departure, one that left a mark on me.
I immediately fell in love with both the story’s main characters. Jude is such a free spirit. She’s flighty, she has all these ideas, and she sees the world in her own way. She doesn’t take things for granted, because her life experiences have left her fully aware of how precious every moment is.
Hazel is incredible. He’s such a gentle soul, with so much love to give but so many reservations because of how he’s been treated in the past. His past broke my heart. Jude brings out a side of him that was pushed deep down and hidden away, and it was so amazing to watch as he blossomed over the course of the book. And he’s ridiculously romantic and sweet, which helped to launch him onto my top book boyfriend list for this year.
Scott did a beautiful job of handling the storyline for Until I Met You, which is a very unique one. I’m not going to spoil anything, because I want every one of you to have a chance to experience this story for yourself, but there were some difficult topics touched on and Scott navigated those waters perfectly, handled her story—and the characters within it—with great care, and delivered a wonderful tale. It was great as a reader to pick up a book and find a completely original plot line between the covers.
And on that note, can we talk about the cover for a minute? It’s completely gorgeous and a perfect representation of the lovebirds.
This is a great read that will draw you right in and leave you longing for more of the romance, more of the characters, and more of Scott’s words. Until I Met You gets my Got Nikki? Must Read seal of approval.
Five stars to this book!
Romance to NIBBLE in WONDERFUL ways!
When an avid reader finds an author who “gets them” whose prose touches the reader’s heart with stories and characters so memorable that the opportunity to reconnect with those characters feels as though one is touching nirvana, that reader will jump at the chance. S.L. Scott is one of those authors for me, and that touch of nirvana is her Valentine’s Day collection entitled EIGHT DATES WITH ROMANCE. This compilation of bonus scenes gives an insight to those who have not read some of her best stories an introduction to some wonderful romances – because we all know the best part of the story is getting to experience how they were able to get to their happily-ever-after. So, be forewarned. If you have not yet read the stories for which these bonus scenes were written, the need to read the story behind them will fulfill a reader’s romance reading needs for months to come! Come along and join the fun with EIGHT DATES WITH ROMANCE! You will be so glad you did. I volunteered to read a copy of EIGHT DATES WITH ROMANCE and this is my voluntary, “READ IT!” Review! Happy pages!
