Second Time Around #3
Not Until You
From New York Times Bestseller, Corinne Michaels, comes a new Standalone Contemporary Romance.
I have two rules in life:
1. No relationships, falling in love or attachments.
2. No sleeping with clients of my interior design firm.
Since the last guy turned out to be married, they’ve been easy to follow.
Until him.
Callum Huxley is a ridiculously sexy Brit, and the connection we have the moment our eyes lock scares the ever-loving hell out of me. Thank God I came to my senses before going back to his hotel where I would’ve ended up naked, panting, and unable to forget him.
Thinking I walked away from that night unscathed was stupid. Sure enough, at the biggest meeting of my career waits the CEO of Dovetail Enterprises—him. It might be the most embarrassing moment of my professional life. And breaking my no-client rule might just be the hottest moment of my personal life.
Learning to trust has never felt so good, but falling has never hurt so bad.

4 stars!!!
Not Until You can most definitely be read as a stand alone, but if you’ve read ‘We Own Tonight’ and/or ‘One Last Time’, you’ve met Nicole. We all have that ‘one friend’. I am not a Nicole, but I appreciate the Nicole’s of the world. Nicole is fun, spunky, and the wild one in her group of friends. One thing that is very apparent about Nicole is that she doesn’t do relationships. It would have to take the right man to make her change her ways and she doesn’t ever see someone doing that.
Then Nicole meets Callum Huxley. Of course, Nicole being Nicole wants to sleep with him. Then she finds out she’ll be working with him and Nicole can’t break one of her two rules….
It’s really too bad Callum doesn’t give a crap about any of her rules. He likes Nicole and the more he gets to know her, the more he wants with her. Not just to sleep with her. Just HER. But the big question is- can Nicole overcome her issues and be willing to break not one but both of her rules?
Corinne Michaels can somehow always write the perfect hero. At least, the perfect guy for her heroine. Callum is perfect for Nicole. I mean, he’s pretty perfect for anyone, but he is exactly the kind of guy Nicole needs. Confident, just persistent enough, and sweet. I loved this guy. And I loved Nicole as well. They were amazing together. My favorite thing about this book was watching Nicole grow. It takes a lot of strength to be able to overcome things and to sometimes just get over yourself. I was proud she was able to do that.
Not Until You is swoony, steamy, and sweet. It has a sassy heroine and a fantastic hero. It was a great read I would recommend to those who love feisty heroines, office romances, and sweet guys!

Not Until You is the story of Nicole Dupree and Callum Huxley. For fans of Corinne Michaels’ you’ve met Nicole over the span of the Heather’s book (We Own Tonight) and Kristen’s book (One Last Time); you know she’s the crazy one out of the foursome of best friends. There was just always something about Nicole that I related to the most. She was this crazy character that often was the loudest voice in the room. I couldn’t want to get her story, to know what made a girl like her tick.
When Nicole meets a man ready to make her, well force her, to break all the rules, I just knew that this woman was my spirit animal. Callum Huxley was just about as perfect as you could get. Toss in a sexy British accent and I was a goner.
Not Until You was charming, humorous and emotionally charged. I loved the witty banter, I loved that Nicole had no filter and I loved being able to experience these four women rally around each other just when it was needed the most.
If you haven’t read a Corinne Michaels book yet, you are missing out. Her writing is unexpected, it’s funny and crushing and it’s reality. It’s laughing even when life punches you in the gut. The emotionally charged storyline makes the laughs feel hardier, they make you cherish the good times, it lets you appreciate what happiness really is.

“Rules were meant to be broken.”
One thing I know for sure is that I love and adore Corinne Michaels and all the journeys she has taken me on thus far. I was extremely excited to delve headfirst into Not Until You to discover what was next and I absolutely adored it from the very first word right up until the last. If you are yet to discover what Corinne can offer with her profound and thoughtful storytelling then you need to check her out. Not Until You is a standalone and can be enjoyed all on its own, but it is intertwined with We Own Tonight and One Last Time and trust me when I say you will want to also check them out.
Nicole is sassy little firecracker who speaks her mind and can absolutely hold her own against the best of them. She’s been hurt, had her heart broken and as a result has built up a wall to never become emotionally involved with someone. She fears being hurt again and just wants to have fun with no strings attached… well that is until she meets sexy Brit Callum Huxley. He may just be the only person that will force Nicole to re-evaluate her firm rules that she now lives by.
“I’m so done. I will never be able to quit him. It wouldn’t matter if he was my client, my pastor, or my boss, I’m lost to him, and I may never come back.”
Nicole has finally met her match with Callum. He likes Nicole and doesn’t give any further consideration to her rules; I mean rules are meant to be broken, right? He’s a positively swoon-worthy hero that I just fell in love with instantly. I loved his possessiveness, his cockiness, his determination and his adoration for Nicole.
“This man has sin, sex, and power exuding from him. I could drown in it and still want more.”
Nicole and Callum had an instant connection and a sexual chemistry that almost leapt off the pages; it made me want to discover absolutely everything there is to know about Nicole and Callum. They were positively electrifying together and I loved their witty banter as it made for such a fun Romcom read.
Not Until You is one of those stories that will leave you with the biggest smile on your face. After the last word is read you will be so glad you took the journey alongside Callum and Nicole. If you’re a fan of spunky and sassy heroines, confident and swoony heroes, and impeccable storytelling, then I would definitely recommend Corinne Michaels latest release Not Until You.

HAPPY!!! That's how I felt while reading this book. I had this permanent smile on my face. I don't think I've ever read a story that made me feel how this one did. I actually laughed-out-loud with tears in my eyes! 😂😂😂 Even as I write this I'm smiling. #RomCom Yes Please!
Nicole and Callum ❤ I love them soo much. Their chemistry and banter is perfect.
1- Nicole is freaken amazing in all ways one person can be. She has a HUGE heart and the best sense of humor.
2- Callum is the biggest straightforward knickers melting sweetheart *sigh*
This is such a fun, cute, adorable, funny, sexy, boy-and-girl-next-door type of read. Once I started I couldn't put it down. Amazing flow with Amazing characters.

I was really looking forward for Not Until You. I am a fan of Miss Michaels in general. I am disappointed with Not Until You. I think what really turn me off is the heroine ( her name already forgotten). She is a real bitch. She is self absorb, rude, annoying. I really want to rip her character apart.
Callum is still tolerable. I want him to match with much better heroine (again, the name I already forgotten). The story is sadly more focus on the heroine feeling and POV.
Drop this book.

4 “Made Me Smile” Stars
Not Until You is a wonderful Second Chance Romance. Letting someone into your heart when it’s been severely broken can be hard as is learning to trust once again. This is a stand-alone book but involves other characters from We Own Tonight and One Last Time. A group of 4 girlfriends who are thick as thieves and are there for each other.
Nicole is a sexy spitfire. She owns her own design firm, speaks her mind and is a free spirit with love. She has had her heart broken and vows to never have that happen again. But when a certain determined Englishman named Callum invades her life, Nicole must re-examine her feelings on loving and trusting once again.
Nicole and Callum have an instant connection. They have great banter and it is sexy and explosive. When a surprise occurrence has them working together all bets are off for not mixing business with pleasure. Callum’s determination in winning Nicole over is endearing and romantic.
This story kept a smile on my face throughout the entire read. It was fast paced and just easy reading. There was not a lot of angst, but just a little to keep the story interesting. Having Heather, Eli, Kristen, Noah, Danielle and Peter all infused in the story made this journey of Nicole’s even sweeter. I wasn’t expecting the twist towards the end but I’m very excited for If I Only Knew.

The heroine, Nicole, in Not Until You is hands down one of my favorites of the year!! She is a fierce, fun, and a certified #girlboss! She's was so much fun to read!!
Her relationship with her friends was flipping hilarious. I want to hang out with these girls! They had me cracking up!

'Not Until You,' is a standalone romance that ticks all the sweet romantic boxes and features glimpses of characters who feature in previous stories from this series of standalones. Nicole has learnt that trusting a man does not work for her. She's been hurt and is now fully focused on her interior design business. Enter sexy Brit Callum Huxley, he's super rich and Nicole's latest client so firmly off romantic limits for her. She wants his business but soon finds herself entering into far more than she'd bargained for.
As the story unfolds the reader learns more about the protagonists at the heart of the story, all their reasons why and, of course, nothing is straight forward on the path to true love but the journey is fabulous to read.
Hot steamy and sexy, 'Not Until You,' is a romantic, sensual love fest that has characters who are totally easy to fall in love with. Engaging and warm, I couldn't help but root for them and their happily ever after.

This book was Fabulous!!!! Nicole is a sassy, hot mess who tells it like it is. I loved her character. Nicole has three best friends: Kristin, Heather, and Hadley, and the witty banter between them had me laughing often. Callum is a sexy British businessman who has hired Nicole's design firm to decorate luxury units in a building he owns. Even though they are attracted to each other, Nicole has a hard and fast rule. She doesn't sleep with clients. Callum is determined to get her to break the rules. The chemistry between them is sizzling, but in the battle of wills, who will be the stronger one?
This book has romance, sexiness, humor, wittiness, and wonderful characters.
Not Until You by Corinne Michaels is a book that everyone should read.

“What if that man would give you more than you knew you could have? What if his touch made you faint in the knees? His love made you stronger instead of weaker? What if he protected you, keeping you from any pain because his life’s mission was just to make you smile?”
Get ready to worship at the shrine that is called Callum Huxley! That man! That man is EVERYTHING! One of the best romance heroes I’ve come across this year…and I’m not surprised in the least that the creator behind this gorgeous and tender Brit, is the incredibly talented Corinne Michaels. Ms. Michaels has hit it out of the park with her latest standalone contemporary romance, Not Until You. I have NO words, well, we all know that’s not true, BUT you know that feeling of wanting to tell everybody about everything but you can’t get the words out because you’re so damn excited? I’m having that sort of moment right now.
Not Until You is the romance that I’ve been waiting for. It’s a romance that gives you ALL THE FEELS and makes you feel all gooey inside. This author has the amazing ability to mix the right amount of comedy with the right amount of tender emotion. It’s the perfect recipe for a romance reader like me because I end up devouring so quickly and only wanting more, more, and more! Let me tell you something, our heroine, Nicole, is my spirit animal in every possible way. She is who I strive to be when I grow up. I admire the hell out of her confidence and her loyalty to her friends. I loved her just as much as our wonderful hero! If you are a fan of Corinne then you might recognize some of the awesome secondary characters in this story, which was a real treat!
I could truly go on and on about this book, because just writing this review gets me excited all over again, but I’ll just tell you that this is a MUST READ of the year for romance junkies…A MUST READ! It had everything you could have ever wanted in a contemporary romance…and maybe more! The writing was spectacular (of course)! The characters were unforgettable! The storyline was filled with so much heart, that you can’t help but fall hard for everything about it. Not Until You was dreamy, charming, sexy, passionate, and oh so entertaining. I laughed. I cried and then I laughed some more. Everything about this was just SPOT ON! Corinne Michaels, never EVER stop what you’re doing because you are a true gem in this community!

You don't know unconditional romantic love....Not Until You find The One.
This is a standalone about Nicole and Callum, although we've met Nicole before in One Last Time and We Oen tonight.
The crazy friend, the cool aunt, the wild woman who is so sure of herself, so sexy and confident, some people don't even understand her.
But it turns out she is so much more than that. She is loyal, she is strong, she is resilient....She is afraid, she is scared, she is hurt and she is vulnerable.
When you first start reading her, she is funny and so free in her choices, so outdoor and not caring about what people think, that, even though you love her, it's a little difficult to relate to her.
But as you get to know her better, when you see what's behind the shiel the built around herself over the years, you realize that she is even stronger than you thought, because she is not invencible. She is in pain and protection mode, but she never stopped being a fighter. She is admirable!
And that is what Callum realizes. She is the one you keep.
"I don't want just tonight. I want every tomorrow."
Nicole has been burnt in the past. Really bad. So she took the reings in her life, so that she could never be in a position to be hurt again. Not Until Callum (see what I did here?).
"Callum is the answer to every prayer I've ever sent, but he could also bring the darkness if he leaves"
With him, she finds hope and even more vulnerability. In him, she finds the strength to try, to risk, to love. In him, she finds what she didn't even want to look for.
""'Stop being wonderful.'
'I'm not wonderful.'
'No, you really are.'
'Maybe I'm just what you need.'"
Callum is strong, sexy, hardworker and he knows how to apreciate the real and import things and people in his life. Oh, and he is British. Do I need to say more?
He knows her value, he knows her importance, he lets his feelings grow, because he knows what they have is special and rare. And you find something like that, you have to hold it closely.
"With her, it's even stronger than I've felt before. If it isn't love, then it's something more, and I'm not willing to let go of it."
Together they have a lot to learn and to make it work. They have Nicole's walls to crumble, they have their lives to intertwine, but they have their love for all of that. And no matter how afraid and insecure they might be (Nicole, specially), their love is impossible not to feel.
"'Why do you call me [love]?'
'Because you're lovely. You exude love, and I wonder if it's possible to keep my feelings for you from growing.'
'So, you think you could love me?'
'I think it's impossible not to.'"

“Love is a fairy tale inside you. It lives there, telling the story of all that’s to come if you can just remember the words. Love is a living thing that we have to nurture when times are bad.
I see that now.
Because with Callum, it’s true love.”

Not Until You was a breath of fresh air! I was so excited to read a book for Nicole and Corinne Michaels did not disappoint! She gave Nicole the story and HEA she deserved, and it was a fantastic ride.
Callum Huxley was no slouch either. This sexy British entrepreneur gave Nicole a run for her money and it was fantastic reading it. I'm keeping this one short just because I'm really sick *cough cough*, but I really adored NOT UNTIL YOU.

There was no way I could have not loved this story. Nicole is a favorite of mine and Callum well he was damn near impossible not to love. Nicole's defiance and Callum's tenacity were fun to watch. Nicole is determined to follow her rules until Callum is set on finding a loophole. It's a fair assessment to say that she has met her match. This is fast and sweet with a little drama and lots of swoon. And a British accent as a bonus! Just one more check in his "pro" column. Honestly I just really enjoyed reading these two.

This man has sin, sex, and power exuding from him. I could drown in it and still want more."
Oh that ending!!!! I cried and laughed ALOT in this book but it was awesome!! Callum met his match in Nicole, strong, confidant and she knows what she wants....as does Callum. Whoa these two were explosive together. The banter was perfect, the connection was undeniable and the emotion was perfection. Like with all Corinne books, I could not get enough of these characters!!! It was fantastic hearing from Heather, Eli, Kristen and Noah and of course Danielle's book which I'm preparing the tissues for already!

3,7. Gostei do enredo, apesar de ser mais do mesmo ( o que não vem ao caso, pois existem vários outros livros que conseguem prender atenção), porem o que não me agradou foi a personagem principal, que pela idade, deveria se mostrar mais madura. Patética.

”Callum is the answer to every prayer I’ve ever sent, but he could also bring the darkness if he leaves.”
Okay but on a quick and serious note, CAN I BE NICOLE WHEN I GROW UP?! This book was EVERYTHING you could possibly want in a quick and hot rom com! Not Until You was just as great as the first two in this set of standalone!
Callum Huxley is hot as sin and sweet like honey. I seriously need one of him in my life. But Nicole, she is legit the definition of badass in my book and I need more friends like her in my life. She’s hilarious and isn’t afraid to speak her mind which I absolutely love about her.
While this read was short, sweet, and to the point, it doesn’t leave you wanting for anything. Callum and Nicole were easily made for each other and throw on Corinne’s impeccable writing charm as an author, you can’t help but fall hard and fast for this couple and their story. You get the angst, the love, the emotion, the comedy, and everything else in between! I can’t wait for Danielle and Milo’s book because I’m sure it’ll just be added epicness to this small but charming group of girlfriends!

I'm 1000% certain I wasn't in the right frame of mind to read this book, but it just didn't click for me.
The story was good, but I just couldn't connect with the characters.
Nicole is one of the four crazy ladies that you've met in previous books (We Own Tonight, One Last Time) and she is definitely the one who pushes boundaries and doesn't give a flying fuck what you think of her. And I LOVE those things about her. LOVE. THEM. She pushes her friends out of their comfort zones. But when it comes to pushing out of hers? Nope. No thank you, she hides. Runs and hides and refuses to feel.
Callum Huxley. Swoon. He's gorgeous, he's sexy, he's arrogant, and I'm pretty sure he's perfect for Nicole. He knows it, Nicole's friends know it. He just has to prove it to her.
See. Characters are gonna be fantastic. Storyline is spot on. It was me!
So, despite my "meh" reaction to these two, I'm definitely gonna grab the next. Corinne Michaels has never done me wrong and I won't drop her because I was having an off book week.

Nicole’s book was a fast and fun read. Nicole is definitely the center of her friend’s group, the fun, unattached one. Deep down she Gad her reasons, but when she fell, she fell hard and fast. Callum was a total sweetheart. Overall, this was a fast and super cute read/listen. Definitely recommend.
Danielle is up next, I have to confess I’m a little scared since it has my least favorite trope…the dead spouse…

I'm the girl that wants to live life to its absolute fullest.
I'm the girl who wants to be happy, no matter what that looks like.
I'm the girl who's is seeking something but can't seem to find it.
I'm the girl who just wants to be loved.
I'm the girl who will never let anyone know that I'm a bit broken.
Damn, Nicole, you got issues girl. And we all love you for it!
I have been dying to creep into the mind of Nicole Dupree. She is feisty, strong willed, fiercely independent, and the bitch is the star of the show. But she got issues and I couldn't wait to see what hero Corinne could create to make this woman into a romantic...if that was even possible.
Callum fucking Huxley.
If that name alone didn't make your body quiver, here's the kicker. He's English. So in Nicole's words...
Holy fuck he has a British accent. Take my panties now.
Nicole keeps her love life interesting,but also very simple. She doesn't do repeats. She doesn't get too deep. And she never, ever sleeps with a client. She learned that lesson the heartbreak way. And she is determined never to let a man break her again.
But Callum consumes her and before she knows it he's destructing her carefully built fortress.
...I realize I'm so done. I will never be able to quite him. It wouldn't matter if he was my client, my pastor, or my boss, I'm lost to him, and I may never come back.
But if you know Corinne Michaels, there's no way in hell she's going to make it easy on these two. And you will come to expect the unexpected when you read Corinne's books, so sit back and get ready for a good old bitch slap.
The last 40% was on fire,so if you find yourself struggling during the first half, I urge you to push on. It will be worth it in the end.
Love is a fairytale inside you. It lives there, telling the story of all that's to come if you can only just remember the words. Love is a living thing that we have to nurture when times are bad. I see that now. Because with Callum, it's true love.

I really enjoyed this book. If you've read either of the other books in this series (they're standalones so don't have to be read beforehand), then you will already be familiar with Nicole. The louder, often blunt, says what she thinks member of the group! But she's so much fun!
Nicole doesn't have relationships... she has on night stands... flings... nothing serious... ever!! She's got her independence and her career. She has guys that tend to her womanly needs, and she's extremely happy with that.
I loved Callum Huxley. The sexy Brit who is over in the States for business and family reasons. He was fun, flirty and determined.
Nicole and Callum together... these two are perfection! Their sexy banter and humorous exchanges ad me laughing a lot. The chemistry between the two of them was fantastic and I loved this element of the book.
Callum is off limits to Nicole even after their one night stand. But Callum has totally different ideas! Both are going to be faced with challenges with some fantastic surprises and twists thrown in, the journey for these two as a couple is far from easy.
A really great read!
4.5 Stars!

Love is a fairy tale inside you. It lives there, telling the story of all that’s to come if you can just remember the words.
I’m so in love with this book! There’s no doubt that this group of friends has stolen my heart since I’ve read We Own Tonight, and it only continues to grow even more with every book that we get. Out of the four girls, I think Nicole’s story is the one I anticipated the most—mostly because of how nuts and hilarious she can get. I completely adored her bright and boisterous personality, and I just needed to know who the lucky gentleman was to win this stubborn woman’s heart, and got to match and complement everything that Nicole was at the same time.
This man has sin, sex, and power exuding from him. I could drown in it and still want more.
Callum Huxley was a gem. He’s quite the coveted dreamboat you’ll drool over, drop your panties and just fall head over heels for. In short, he was the epitome of pure and utter PERFECTION. The whole time, I kept thinking: “this guy is just too good to be true, something’s gotta give.” But I don’t think anything, at any point, could’ve tarnished Callum’s image for me. All throughout, he was just so sweet, so lovable, and not to mention drop dead sexy with an accent that will make your ovaries combust. But most of all, he was able to handle Nicole and her insanity without really batting an eyelash—he took it, accepted it and loved her even more because of it.
I’m not an accessory. I’m the entire ensemble.
Although as much as I swooned, melted and lusted over Callum, I LOVED Nicole Dupree madly. She was just so fierce and independent and hilarious and FEISTY as hell! I loved her sass, her spunk and her sharp tongue. I loved that she knew how to protect and stand up for herself. She’s the craziest, funniest, and most headstrong out of her quad of friends, but she’s also the one who held them up when they needed someone to lean on. She’s got a huge heart that needs some real good loving and caring and shielding from the pains of the world, and she did—she found herself a keeper who can bring any girl to her knees.
Callum is the answer to every prayer I’ve ever sent, but he could also bring the darkness if he leaves.
Nicole and Callum were just a match made in heaven. They complemented each other in ways other couples could only dream of—may it be their personalities, their career, and even in the bedroom. These two exuded heat and tension, and had crackling chemistry you just won’t be able to get enough of. From start to finish, they were downright riveting and enthralling to watch, especially when they start with their adorable bantering.
He’s fucking Callum. The God with a magical penis. If he’s getting any nickname, it’s going to be Mighty Dick.
Sweet, fun and swoontastic all around with emotional tidbits enough to make you gasp and clutch your chest, Not Until You will definitely make you feel, laugh, hurt, and fall deeply in love alongside Nicole and Callum. Better hold on to your hearts and panties, because I swear, after you read this, you’ll undoubtedly want to hunt down and find your own sexy Brit—stat.

Corinne Michaels has penned my favorite novel from the this series of standalones, and it is solely because of Nicole. There are few times when a heroine makes me fall in love with a book, but this one did.
Nicole is the best friend I want to have. She is crazy and has zero filter, but, oh, how she made me laugh. I never knew what she would say or do, but that is the fun part. That is what kept me on my toes. She also has the honest when it comes to sex, and I love how she embraces her desires and ignores society’s attempts to make women feel like that can’t or shouldn’t talk about sex. As the novel progresses, though, we see the layers beneath the loud and often brash candor of Nicole. Readers get to see a woman who has been betrayed and so doesn’t trust love easily. We see a woman who protects those who have been lucky enough to earn her love fiercely. We see a woman who at the end of the day just wants to be loved unconditionally and for who she is.
Callum is just...HOT. Seriously! I don’t think I can resist a British hero. What makes me all swoony, though, is the way he loves my new fictional best friend. He never tries to change her or tame her. He loves the craziness that spews from her mouth. He also courts her with everything he has. He knows what he wants and attacks it with vigor. I absolutely adore him in every way.
The one thing that I have loved most about this series is the friendship among the four woman. I love seeing how they support each, call each other on their crap, and love each other as sisters. Everyone woman needs a group in their corner like that, and I have come to love their relationship as much as the romances between the hero and heroine.
I LOVE this story. The pacing, the chemistry, the revelations for the next book are all spot on. I read this book with a huge smile on my face, laughing and having my heart flutter. It was just pure romance perfection.

Do not care enough for the heroine to finish this book. Nicole is written as a man-eater but is really an asshole who I'm sure has very delicate vulnerabilities underneath the shallow tough exterior. Nicole's character comes off as trying too hard to be this tough female who needs no man that it's kinda repelling me from even trying to like her. Also pretty sure there won't be any swooning from me here since the romance seems pretty insta and based on the physical side of things only. Meh.
