Book Review: Until Our Time Comes by Nicole M. Miller

This book is a novel of World War II in Poland. The story is fiction, but it is based on true events.
The story features two main characters Adia Kensington, who is an American horse trainer living in Poland and working at the famous Janow Podlaski horse stables, and Bret Conway, who is working undercover for the British Intelligence.
Adia and Brett happen to meet in Wygoda, Poland in 1939 just as the war is beginning to happen there. Though they instantly get off on the wrong foot emotionally, through a series of combined events their paths keep crossing and they soon find themselves working together to fight a common cause which is saving the prized Arabian horses from enemy takeover and destruction.

Book Review: Until Our Time Comes by Nicole M. Miller

This book is a real page turner, and it keeps the reader on edge as there is action, intrigue and suspense woven into every page. You won’t want to put this book down; it will captivate you!

I recommend this book to everyone who loves reading about World War II or those who enjoy reading historical fiction romance, as this book also has a sweet love story entwined within all the drama.

I received a copy of this book from Revell, a division of Baker Book Publishing, in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and comments are my own.

Where Am I?

Abstract art

Sometimes wonder

Where I do reside.

Living life daily

In different worlds,

Virtual and real.

Social Media,

News, Televison,

Websites,and books.

Asleep and awake,

I am a sojourner.

My Journey With Books

journey with books

I have been walking
The streets of San Francisco
“In Places Hidden”
Remembering the place
“Where Lilacs Still Bloom”,
While listening to “The Sound of Rain”,
With Judd and Larkin
And, as Hannah did, I am
Clinging to “A Passionate Hope”
Like Masuo Yasui in a “Stubborn Twig”
Or like those many pioneers did
On “The Oregon Trail”.
I, like “Judah’s Wife”, seek peace and safety
So I stop for a “Praise Pause”,
And praise God using one of His many names.
I am so grateful for His “Cherished Mercy”
And His “Redeeming Grace”.

Emotionally filling

Who Am I ?

I am always surrounded by many books.
I have letters and decimals in my day.
I am here to happily help one who looks.
I am always surrounded by many books.
Very often I meet readers, writers and cooks.
I love what I’m doing. I want to stay.
I am always surrounded by many books.
I have letters and decimals in my day.
