Until Our Time Comes by Nicole M. MillerMy rating: 💛💛💛💛
Until Our Time Comes is the perfect title for this very strong debut WW2 novel.
I have read and loved several WW2 novels, but this one was amazing and showed a different side to the war. The author did a great job of highlighting the impact of the war on horses and people caring for these magnificent animals, a side to the war I never thought about.
Bret was a great hero. He was strong and supportive and easily to connect with. Adia was a character who was only focused on saving the horses, but circumstances created opportunities for her to step up. I loved Ewan and how this little thief played a part in Bret and Adia’s relationship.
Another side I loved about this novel, was the different side to Germans which we could see. Yes, we know the evil they done, and we saw some of those Germans as well, but we also so Germans who did not really want to fight, and how they played roles behind the scenes to protect their enemies.
There were a few times I thought I knew where the story is going, then the author took readers on a different journey.
This novel was interesting, suspenseful at periods, showed the war from the start to the end, and was filled with emotions.

About the book:
American horse trainer Adia Kensington is living her dream of working at the famous Janów Podlaski stables in Poland, where they breed the best Arabian horses in the world. But her plans to bring the priceless stallion Lubor to the US are derailed when the German army storms into her adopted country in 1939. Little does she know this is just the beginning of six long years of occupation that will threaten her beloved horses at every turn.
Major Bret Conway is at Janów Podlaski under the guise of a news reporter, but his true mission is intelligence gathering for the British. That and keeping Adia safe, which is harder and harder to do as she insists they must evacuate 250 horses to save them from being stolen, sold, or eaten by the invading forces.

Drawn from true events of World War II, this epic story of escape, capture, resistance, and love from debut novelist Nicole M. Miller will thunder into your heart like a herd of beautiful horses across a raging river.
