Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Seeking refuge from his headstrong mother, who is hell-bent on marrying him off, 34-year-old former FBI agent Luke Grayson retreats to the solitude of his New Mexico mountain cabin, only to discover the presence of a beautiful, gun-toting visitor. Having earlier been offered the cabin by Grayson's cousin to recover from an assault and to prepare for her Santa Fe speaking engagements, Dr. Catherine Stewart, bestselling author and a professor of child psychology, is unable to hide her irritation with--or attraction to--the handsome, unwelcome stranger. Noticing something amiss in Stewart's behavior, Grayson extracts the information that she's being stalked and offers his services as a private investigator. Ray (Break Every Rule) finds common ground for the pair to develop a loving relationship in their dedication to helping others (together they adopt a wolf hybrid and care for a homeless mother and child) and highlights Grayson's dual African- and Native-American heritage through his commitment to family. (Aug.)

From Library Journal

Seeking respite from his matchmaking mother, Luke Grayson, successful private investigator and owner of his own firm, heads for his isolated cabin in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and suddenly finds himself looking down the barrel of a .380 held by a beautiful, leggy woman with a definite no-nonsense attitude. Although this is hardly an auspicious beginning, UCLA professor and child psychologist Catherine Stewart and Luke find themselves attracted to each other. But Catherine is hiding a secret that could keep them apart forever, and it isn't until she sees things realistically that she and Luke can find the happiness they both want. Her crisp style, realistic dialog, likable characters and fast pace make Ray (Break Every Rule) one of the better, more popular writers in the Arabesque line. She lives in Texas.

5.0 out of 5 stars UNTIL THERE WAS YOU, NOTHING ELSE MATTERED!, July 14, 2000
By Luv2Read "imareader2" (Baton Rouge, LA United States) - See all my reviews
Sizzling! "Until There Was You" is hot, H-O-T, HOT!

Catherine and Luke are stunning together. The nonchalant, handsome Luke, whose mother has had over 25 women flaunted in front of him, 27 to be exact, has by chance stumbled upon #28. When Luke goes to the cabin he shares with his cousin, Daniel Falcon (who is the fine brother in "Heart of the Falcon"), Catherine pulls a gun on Luke and she is only wearing a gray silk nightgown! This is when the flame begins.

During their stay, Catherine and Luke reluctantly refuse to admit to the burning desire between them. However, as with fire, if you play around with it long enough, you will get burned. As the fire gets hotter, so does the passion between Catherine and Luke.

Sounds steamy? You bet. Pick up a copy of the book, "Until There Was You" and see for yourself how hot the fire is. While you are at it, to add more wood to the fire, check out Francis Ray's other books in the Taggart/Falcon series: "Forever Yours", "Only Hers", and "Break Every Rule" and watch how high the flame burns. Also, don't forget "Heart of the Falcon" which I mentioned earlier.

"Until There Was You" is another of your great books. Thanks, Ms. Ray.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Follow Up, April 21, 2001
By Dawn R Reeves "tamardi" (Harrisburg, PA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book was a great follow up to Break Every Rule. I was intrigued by Luke Grayson and Catherine Stewart. I was somewhat surprised by the amount of dramatic issues in this book but it only added some suspense. I truly enjoyed how the entire Falcon clan and Taggert clan was included in the conclusion. Ms. Ray's writing style is very descriptive without being overbearing and you can actually visualize the place and time. Excellent writing. While this book was truly about Catherine and Luke, adding Dominique and Trent to the mix with their issues was great. Oh, Mama Grayson is one of kind!.. Good job!

5.0 out of 5 stars enjoyable reading, May 30, 2001
By "medwa10540" (LONG ISLAND CITY, NY United States) - See all my reviews
I truly enjoyed until there was you i read the book twice because i didn't realize that their were four books before that until i read forever yours then i realized that there was another part than i had to read only hers, heart of a falcon, break every rule than i read until there was you again.I really enjoyed how Catherine came at Luke with the gun because she had hurt his pride and he came of like he was to good be with any other women an she broke him down real good and i liked how she really made him give in and finally feel what true love was all about. I would like to know what will happen with Nicole and the doctor. And really would like to know if the story about Morgan Luke brother is that story ever going to come out. Mrs Ray should do an update with all of them with Kane and Victoria, Matt and Shannon, Daniel and Madalyn and Luke and Catherine
