Publisher Description
When she hears that the small town of Heritage, Michigan, is looking for a new librarian, Libby Kingsley jumps at the opportunity. Little did she know the library is barely more than a storage closet stuffed with dusty, outdated books. What the community really needs is a new building. But the only funds available are those being channeled into the new town square, and the landscape architect in charge of the project wants nothing to do with her plans.
All Austin Williams wants to do is get the town square project finished so he can do right by the family business and then extricate himself from the town that reveres the brother who cost him so much. But the local media and the town's new librarian seem to be conspiring against him at every turn. Will the determined bookworm find her way into his blueprints--and possibly even his heart?
Novelist Tari Faris invites you back to the small town with a big heart in this second book in the Restoring Heritage series.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In the cheery second installment of Faris's contemporary Restoring Heritage series (following You Belong with Me), two new arrivals compete for public resources in Heritage, Mich. Austin Williams returns to Heritage to salvage his father's landscaping business after his brother and prodigal son, Nate, brought it to the brink of bankruptcy. Nate, now the town pastor, helps Austin get the contract to renovate Heritage Square. Meanwhile, Libby Kingsley, who had a traumatic incident with a boyfriend three years earlier, hopes moving to Heritage to be closer to her brother, Luke, and working as the town librarian will finally allow her to heal. Unfortunately, the only public money available that could go to the library has been earmarked for the new town square. After Libby meets would-be journalist Olivia Mathews, the two become roommates and sometime co-conspirators as they commiserate and try to change Austin's plans for renovating the square. But as Libby gets to know Austin, their mutual attraction and shared faith forces her to consider compromises. Filled with many twists and secrets but also a few frustratingly convoluted scenarios this sweet and circuitous inspirational romance will please rom-com fans.

Fabulous Must Read!!!
Oh My Stars! What a beautiful, amazing book! I became a forever fan of Tari Faris' books last year when I read her novella P.S. Goodbye, and fell even deeper in love with her books when I read You Belong With Me! I seriously didn't think this author's writing could get any more amazing, but I was proven wrong! One of the things I love about this author's books is that they feature two love stories. I loved Libby and Austin, their story was wonderful and I was rooting for them from the start, though as much as I loved Libby and Austin's story I think Nate and Olivia's story was definitely my favorite! I have been head over heels in love with Nate since he first appeared in P.S. Goodbye and I've been eagerly anticipating his story, it was everything I had dreamed it would be and so much more!
Reading this book is pure bliss, it made me so giddy-happy, and I couldn't stop smiling while I read it!
Until I Met You is now my favorite Tari Faris book so far, it made me laugh out loud, touched every part of my heart, and made me swoon more times than I can count!
Heritage is one of my very favorite fictional towns (I wish I could live there) and I just adore Otis the hippo!
Saying I loved this book doesn't come close to describing the depth of my adoration for it, but sadly I can't come up with a more eloquent way to say it so this will have to do: I loved every single moment of this book and hated to stop reading!
Until I Met You is one for the keeper shelf (I already want to re-read it!) it's one of my top ten favorite reads of 2020 and I cannot wait to read the next book in the series!
I most highly recommend Until I Met You! If you are a fan of Christian contemporary romance, especially Susan May Warren's books you need to read Tari Faris! You don't want to miss a single moment of the amazingness that is the Restoring Heritage series!
(5 Stars, but I'd give it every star in the sky if I could!)
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. Which did not influence my review in any way. All thoughts and opinions are one hundred percent my own!
