Publisher's Summary

Pine Valley librarian Livvy Harmon has big dreams, which include marrying Dr. Slade McKinney. Trouble is, he’s kissed her only once in their four months of dating, and it wasn’t all that great. But Livvy isn’t ready to give up yet on hooking such an amazing man, even though Slade seems to have time for everyone but her.

When Livvy keeps running into writer Mason Rowe, who seems to be camping out in her library to finish his book under strict orders from his agent, Livvy at first keeps him at arm’s length. But the more their friendship grows, the more she finds that her dream relationship with her doctor boyfriend isn’t so dreamy after all.

So so worth it

I was quite surprised how much I liked Until We Kissed. I’ve been in a reading slump and have had a lot of preconceived notions about the books I’ve promised to review which puts a damper on any book. I was so happy to find that the characters were real and fun and flawed. It was like watching a dating train wreck at times and I was cringing as I watched. I found myself waiting to see what would happen next. Great book. I will have to read the rest of the series.
4.5 Stars. Clean with great kissing scenes.

Wonderful sweet romance

This sweet well written story was an amazing romance that was beautifully narrated in audible. I was hooked from beginning to end. The story focuses on letting go of old dreams and creating new ones. The characters have good chemistry, and a relationship develops and morphs into a HEA.

Must Read!

Loved this book! The main characters chemistry was amazing! This book was so great that I don't even know vote to describe it! And I have to say that I even liked Slade. I felt bad that he didn't even realize what he was doing. The narrator did a wonderful job!

Nice read; clean and sweet

The book was well written. I loved the scene that took place at Dawson's apartment toward the end and speaking of the end... I loved it! Seems like the characters were developed pretty well with the exception of Slade, he was full of himself from the beginning to the end. Looking forward to reading her other books in the series.

Woman seeks doctor and gets author

I'm not sure if Heather used her own personal experiences as an author to describe Mason, but I quite liked seeing his POV and an author as a character. I liked that he was a loner and brooding. His personality is a great fit for naive, doctor-loving Livvy. Livvy got the reality check she needed. I often think women under value the treatment we deserve and Livvy is a great example.

There are two things I would have liked to see in this book. There is no update on what is going on in Felicity's life from the previous book. While Felicity and Livvy are still friends, I would have appreciated a brief catch up. Also, did Mason leave Sloane McKinley as the bad guy's name in his book? Dumb question, but it matters! :)

sweet romantic story

A fantastic perfect clean contemporary romance. This well written storyline was an amazing romance that was beautifully narrated and had me engaged from beginning to end.  This sweet story of letting go of old dreams to find new, better ones is full of funny silly dialogue and great banter in a wonderfully romantic clean romance. The characters are charming, have good chemistry, as a beautiful friendship grows to an amazing story for their  perfect HEA. I voluntarily listened and reviewed this incredibly narrated story were the characters were brought to life with cameos from previous series characters in an engaging standalone romance.

I love this series

Until We Kissed Pine Valley book 6

Librarian Livvy has always wanted to marry a doctor and has been seeing Dr. Slade McKinney. Unfortunately, Slade seems to cancel their dates frequently. Writter Mason Rowe, suffering from writer's block, has come to Pine Valley work on his book. Livvy's library has become the spot where he finds inspiration. As Livvy and Mason's relationship grows, Livvy must decide if her dream of being a doctor's wife is really what she wants.

I am loving the Pine Valley series. This is book six and I have read/listened to three book out of order and they definitely can be read as a standalone. The books are very well written and the characters are well developed. Heather B. Moore is new to me but she has quickly become one of my favorite authors. I have been a fan of narrator Xe Sands for quite a while and continues to give an outstanding performance.
I was given this audio book at my request and am voluntarily leaving this review.

Cute small town romance

Liv and Mason make a cute couple in this sweet romance. Liv is the librarian and Mason is the award winning author. They are attracted to one another but Liv already has a boyfriend who is a doctor. Mason doesn’t want to interfere too much. Just enough to shake things up a bit. Mason doesn’t like the good doctor. He doesn’t see how a little flirting can go wrong. He just needs to make Liv realize she deserves better. But what happens when hearts get involved.

Love, love, love the Pine Valley Series!

Story: 4.5 stars
Such a cute story of our heroine, Livy, giving up her dream man to pursue the real man who will bring her real happiness. She and Mason don’t suffer from too much angst and we readers get a sweet and swoon-worthy love story!

Narration: 5 stars Ms. Sands has an amazing voice. Deep, rich and velvety. She’s the perfect romance narrator because her male voices are just as authentic as her female ones. She never sounds rushed and her ‘phrasing’ (I need to use musical terminology to get the description right) is perfect. No one sounds stilted or like they are being read by a narrator! I have no idea if she has an arsenal of accents up her sleeve, the book didn’t call for them, but it wouldn’t surprise me!

You really can’t go wrong with any of the Pine Valley Romances!

*poor, **ok, ***good, ****very good, *****something special

A fun read

This book was very well written and the narrator did a fantastic job. I loved the different characters and it was fun seeing some pop in characters from previous pine valley books. This book was full of passion and loss that made you feel all the feels. Great read!

Enjoyable addition to the series

It’s been a while since I read the other books in the series - I recognised a few characters from previous ones but they were only brief mentions really so this can easily be “read” as a stand-alone. Clean & wholesome throughout. I enjoyed the way the author really got into the role of each character.
