A lot can happen in three years; Macy had encountered many of them and had secrets that kept her from contacting her family. Of course, in the three years, neither her parents nor her brother had tried to get her to come back home. Macy was shocked when a man from her past, her brother’s best friend, showed up at her work and demanded that she talk to him. Lucius had always caught her attention; she had admired him even while she condemned him for his activities. The chemistry which sprang from their meeting was breathtaking, but Macy did not intend to allow anyone to tell her what to do anymore.

Until Now is a very interesting character study in a lonely young woman who faces challenges wherever she turns. Ms. Middleton launches the relationship between Macy and Lucius who, even though they had known each other for years, had never had a personal relationship. The author explores the exhaustive problems Macy faced. Many small-town antics surface which seem to stifle Macy when she was just trying to cope with her life as it had turned out. The author established the relationship with Lucius almost accidentally; Lucius refused to allow Macy to hide her feelings and by staying in touch with her, forced her to feel more comfortable with him. I really liked the way the author presented the story. I recommend it!
