Warning!!! Until Then may result in a book hangover. I finished this book more than 24 hours ago but feared writing the review would take away the bliss, the satisfaction, the extreme pleasure I felt from reading Until Then. I want to remain in the Zen moment but I also want others to get excited about reading this amazing story. I have waited for Graham's story and it was worth every day, every minute I have waited.

I have waited because Graham deserves a happily ever after. Graham has earned a happily ever after. Graham deserves a life, a better life than what he has been living. Graham gave up his life, his dreams, his love over fifteen years ago in order to support his family. His twin, Grady, survived a tragic boat wreck but the town's perfect son did not. Graham now serves the alcohol at The Whale Spout that is brother drowns his sorrows.

The author created a beautiful second chance romance that grabbed me from the very beginning. My heart bled for Graham as he struggled to be what his parents needed, leaving himself behind. I cried for his lonely heart, hoping he would find love again. I swooned over Graham when he realized his first love, was his only love.

Graham's journey to Rennie was filled with obstacles. Let's face it anything worth having shouldn't come easy, you should have to work for it. The author made them both work for their happily ever after. She created a world that the reader can escape within. The scenery is that vacation you always wanted but just couldn't find. The memories of their past had the reader belonging. What could be better than being part of the story?

When I read the synopsis for Unit then:
Rennie Wallace has it all: a boyfriend, a good job, a best friend who lives a stone’s throw away…but something’s missing. She isn’t sure what until she returns to Cape Harbor, her favorite home away from home. There, she crosses paths with an old love, Graham. Rennie’s drawn to him but senses their paths in life have wandered too far apart.

Graham Chamberlain has returned to Cape Harbor to care for his brother, the town alcoholic. Managing and serving drinks at his family’s bar, Graham can’t believe how mundane his life has become. He’s resigned himself to living for others, his own desires for adventure and romance taking a back seat to running the family business—until Rennie walks through his door.

Graham feels the weight of his small-town life; Rennie has a boyfriend and a busy life in the city. But neither can deny the rekindled spark between them. Will they find their way back to one another

I just wanted to read it. But after reading it, I had different opinion. Not about reading it, but about synopsis.
It doesn't go exactly like it is described.
A lot of things are going on in this book. So I am lacking romance. There isn't a connection between Rennie and Graham. We can see a tiny portion of their history. But nothing really in te present.
This is not an easy breeze romance book.
It deals with addiction, death, affair.
... From me 3 stars.

This book is fantastic. It shows that no matter what you can always go home maybe not to the exact same place it was before but most times the changes are wonderful and you have relationships at a much more intense level. Heidi writes such descriptive phrases that you can almost feel the boat below you and the waves along the beach as the tide returns for the day. The taco cart leaves you being hungry and wishing you could get a fish taco and sit by the beach relaxing and just hearing the waves crash.

Of course the fact that Rennie is trying to find herself and to succeed on her own is a story that many of us have experience in our own lives. Graham is every girls dream of a caring person that only wants the best for his family and is willing to work at it to achieve that goal and while being supportive of Rennie not being overbearing and smothering.

This is definitely a book that I would recommend for a beach read or for a cloudy day when you just want and need the feel of the sun and beach. I received this gook in order to be an ARC reader and read it a second time. Just loved it both time. (less)
