When Kate Darby swerves off a mountain road to avoid hitting a California condor, she ends up trapped in her car, teetering on the edge of a cliff. Terrified, she breathes a prayer that changes her life.

It's Nick Sheridan who comes to Kate's rescue. Nick is handsome and confident, and he seems to develop a habit of rescuing her, but Kate is in town only until her grandmother recuperates from a stroke. She's not planning to get involved with one of the locals.

Nick is a reformed veteran of life in the fast lane, a new Christian, and a travel writer. When he sees a car dangling on the edge of a cliff, the daredevil in him jumps into action. He doesn't expect to be swept off his feet by the car's occupant. He's made a vow--no dating for a year--but keeping that vow is going to be a lot more difficult now that he's met Kate Darby. . . .

MY REVIEW: I'm not sure exactly what I was expecting from this story, but I felt it dragged in some places and emotionally touched me in others. I really liked Nick. He seemed a great character who upon his conversion began to change. He is always there for Kate no matter how long it has been since she gets in contact or how many times she cancels their plans. He loves her that much. He is always there for her, no matter what.

I didn't like Kate. She seemed to always put herself first in her relationship with Nick as well as in other aspects of her life. I really can't understand why she kisses him when they are together, yet she refers to him as " just a friend." She didn't seem to gradually become more stable either. It's like it happened all in one nanosecond. I found her character distant and hard to understand.

I found the information on the condors fascinating, and I so loved Kate's grandmother,Leona.

The story itself didn't draw me in, but I will be the first to admit this isn't the first contemporary Christian fiction book about which I had mixed feelings. If you like contemporary romance stories, you will probably love this one. It was on okay read for me.

Until I Found You was a great book! I enjoyed the passion shown in each of the character's personalities. There is definite chemistry between Nick and Kate. I enjoyed how the author weaved their faith into their everyday lives making it very realistic and true to life. The trials faced by each are the ones that are faced by each of us at one time or another. I will enjoy continuing to read this author's work.
I received this book from the Book Club Network in exchange for my honest opinion. ...more
