Until We Fly (Beautifully Broken #4) by Courtney Cole Tour, Review, Giveaway, + Interview

This series! I’ve raved about it before, and I’m about to do it again. Brand, oh, Brand. I had been wanting his book for so long. After Jacey turned down Brand in Before We Fall, I knew there was so much more to that guy, and I was thrilled to learn he’d get his own book. This did not disappoint.

Brand is forced to return to Angel Bay, a place he’d rather never see again, and just after doing so, jumps in during tragedy. And that’s when he meets (or rather, meets again) Nora Greene, daughter of uber successful, Angel Bay royalty Maxwell Greene. After saving her life, Nora feels indebted to him, and steps in to his help with his recovery after his leg is injured during the accident. 

Nora has plenty of secrets of her own, but she decides, this summer, she’s finally going to do something about her attraction to Brand. She’s felt it since she was a little girl, but this ex-Ranger’s not been back in Angel Bay for years. Now’s her chance, and she’s going to lay it all on the line while she has time. After this summer, she’ll be forced to enter the workforce at Green Corp, something she’s dreading, and she knows she’ll probably never see Brand again.

One thing I especially loved about this book was the pacing. I sat down to start it, and found myself nearly devouring it. Nora decides to pursue Brand, and she just goes for it. There’s not a lot of awkward, close encounters; rather, she just strips down, struts around the house, and propositions him.

The chemistry between Brand and Nora is fantastic. They’re a bit sarcastic, witty, but they’re definitely sexy, too.

At first, Brand resists Nora. He knows she’s worth more than some quick, meaningless summer fling, but he can’t hide the fact that he’s undeniably attracted to her.

So when they finally give in to the attraction, they find there’s more than a no-strings relationship there … for both of them. But they’re dealing with personal demons, and so the journey we’re taken on as they try and exorcise those is very well-done. I won’t discuss what either had to go through, but it did make my stomach turn, on numerous occasions.

The end of this book. Sigh. Wow.

Courtney knows how to grab you and make you love characters, but then drag you through the mud with them. And like all the other books in this series, Brand and Nora are Beautifully Broken, but they’re not irreparably damaged. And together, they figure this out. I can’t recommend this series enough. I’m sad to see it end, but so love all the characters I’ve met throughout it.
