Synopsis Ex-Army Ranger, Brand Killien, has always been good. A good friend, a good soldier, a good everything. The problem is, good hasn’t gotten him anything but a crushed heart. So after licking his wounds, he decides to move on. And moving on doesn’t include being good anymore. Bad sounds so much better. Jaded and detached, Brand is determined to never open himself up to anyone again. It’s not worth the pain. Instead, he becomes closed, hardened, aloof. But then he’s called back home for a family emergency… a family that he is estranged from. A family that he put out of his mind a long time ago for very good reasons…reasons that involve secrets and pain. Reasons he tried hard to forget. But home is where the heart is, and it just might be where Brand finds his again. Why? Because home is where Nora Greene is. A fiery, red-headed spitfire, Nora is a thing from his past. A beautiful, feisty thing. When Brand left, she was away at boarding school. But she’s back now. And she wants Brand, scars and all. |

Review
“Sometimes, before we fall, we fly.”
Until We Fly in many ways isn’t your typical love story, but in many ways it is. I’ve been sitting here for the past 15 minutes trying to figure out how to review this book. Not at all saying it was bad. It was amazing. I’m sitting here trying to put into words why you should not only read Until We Fly but all of Courtney Cole’s Beautifully Broken series. Just like the others in the series, this book is a beautiful love story. But there is so much history to these characters have, it’s almost overwhelming.
You meet Brand in previous books in the series but you don’t know about his childhood. You never hear why he is the way he is. But in Until We Fly, everything is revealed. And a lot of it is jaw dropping. You never expected what happened, to happen. I’m sitting here amazed at the person he became. It is truly remarkable.
Nora. Nora is strong. Nora is tough. Nora is amazing. Her story surprised me. Like I never expected it. You knew that she had a controlling father. Very, very controlling. But some of the events that happened, I just never expected. At all. When you learn of some of the things she has gone through, you will gasp. Seriously. Total surprise. And then when you think it can’t get any worse, it does. The puzzle that is Nora doesn’t have many pieces, but the pieces that it has are enormous. And shocking.
Courtney Cole did an amazing job telling these characters stories. She took very difficult subject matters and made a story about falling in love and helping each other heal. She had me so wrapped up, I didn’t realize the book was ending until I came to the epilogue. And the epilogue made me cry. Bravo Courtney. Amazing job.
