Until Our Time Comes by Nicole M. Miller
5.0
✅ Christian WWII Romantic Fiction
✅ Set in Poland, 1939
✅ Fiercely protective MMC
✅ Endearing side-characters!
Wow - this story was amazing from beginning to end! Nicole M. Miller’s debut novel, Until Our Time Comes, transports you deep into WWII history from the eyes of those living in Poland. As we follow our MFC, Adia Kensington, we learn what the war was like through the eyes of this American horse trainer, transplanted in Poland throughout the war. The amount of research that went into this novel was substantial and well done! I do love horses but I admit, I am not necessarily a horse enthusiast - that didn’t matter when reading this novel. I learned to love the fiery Arabians right alongside Adia. Not once did I feel left out or clueless for the author did an amazing job in helping those of us who perhaps don’t know or understand horses.
The amount of mystery and intrigue in this novel was intense! This had everything you could want in a WWII novel - intriguing history, a beautiful slow-burn romance, heart-pounding action, and well-developed characters. Bret Conway, our MMC, was every part of the dashing British Intelligence agent you’d hope he would be. His fierce loyalty, to both his job and Adia and Ewan, were so endearing. As far as side characters go (does he count as a side character? lol), Ewan is one of my new favorites! My heart couldn’t help but fall for the rag-tag thief and his many escapades.
The outward faith elements were a little light - a bit of praying here and there, mostly when things were rough and bleak. The intrinsic Christian values we all hope to emulate were strong, however. Values and morals such as shepherding well what God has entrusted us with, putting others first, a general self-sacrificing nature, and laying down one's life for a friend (or stranger).
This novel was a page-turner from start to finish and I am honored to be given the chance to read it!
Thanks to the publisher's generosity, I was given a free advanced copy to read and review. All opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
