Until You Loved Me: A Novel

Until You Loved Me is Book 3 in the Silver Springs series by Brenda Novak. These books stand entirely on their own and while they do center around the New Horizons Boys Ranch, only a couple characters from past stories make a cameo appearance so it's not a must to read them in order. In true Brenda Novak style the writing is superb and it has a very engaging plot. It started off with Ellie being dumped by her fiance...for another man! Her friends take her out to a club to get her mind off things where she meets Hudson and has no clue that he is a famous football player. This led to some fun moments that I could absolutely relate to since I'm not much of sports fan myself. The only reason this book is receiving 4 stars instead of 5 is that there was just too much angst and distrust that went on a bit too long. There was an incident that happened between Ellie and Hudson that was completely unexpected and shocked me to the core. Despite the "incident" however, I did grow to enjoy the characters and loved watching their story unfold. This was a very emotional story that I couldn't put down.

What an absolutely fantastic book! I adored everything about it. The writing, the characters, the pace of the story, everything was great. What was suppose to be a fun one night stand turns into a bond for life when an unplanned pregnancy occurs. Ellie Fisher just needs to let loose once in her life. After finding out her fiance is gay she deserves it!! Hudson King, professional football player, is taken with Ellie when he first sees her. She's beautiful, smart, funny and best of all she has no idea who he is. Amazing what one night of passion can do to change your life. Put this one on the must read list, I highly recommend it.

An amazing emotional story of finding love and trust again. A chance meeting between Ellie and Hudson at a bar leads to a one night stand. That one night stand will change the lives for both with an unplanned pregnancy. Ellie, is a workaholic as a scientist, who just caught her finance in bed with another guy. Hudson is pro football player, who grew up in foster homes and Silver Springs was his last place. Hudson wants to do whats right and provide for his baby and Ellie. Add in a little mystery of who are Hudson's parents, makes for the perfect read. This is the third book in the series, but all are stand alone books. This is my favorite one so far. Can't wait to read the next book in the series! I highly recommend!!
