Until I Saw Your Smile
At Smith's Sweet Treats and Coffee, you'll find Brooklyn's best house blend and the freshest homemade pastries. It's more than a business to owner Angela Smith. It's her home and her refuge--one she stands to lose thanks to her gouging landlord. Then a new regular offers to cover her rent increase if Angela lets him meet his clients there. If Matthew McConnell weren't such a persuasive lawyer--and so sweet, funny, and sexy--she wouldn't dream of letting him in.
Since he left a high-paying, soul-sucking legal firm to go solo, Matthew has been striking out, professionally and personally. The best part of his love life is regaling Angela with date-from-hell stories over steaming, fragrant coffee. Behind her captivating smile is a smart, sensual woman he'd love to get close to. And when a secret from her past is suddenly exposed, he gets a chance to prove he's the man she needs, in every way that matters. . .

Matthew McConnell was a man that everyone thought had it all. A stellar legal career, the best money could buy in fashion, a revolving door of women always anxious to please, and friends that never failed to let him down. The problem with all of this for Matthew was the way he got the power and fame was by giving up any ethical behavior he may have possessed but when you have a conscious, at some point you are going to have to decide what matters most – doing the money thing or the right thing.
After Matthew choose the right way to live he realized that where you are from is something to be proud of and helping clients out is a gift not a money making machine. Matthew really was still pretty awful at choosing the right woman to date until he met Angela Smith, a woman that wanted nothing from him including a date. Angela was a successful small businesswoman who ran the family coffee shop and bakery. Angela shows the ultimate in self-confidence and did her best to keep to herself, but Matthew is very persistent and he wants in her life and after a heart beat decides he wants in her business as well. Neither of them is financially struggling but Matthew devices an amazing plan to help Angela run the shop and do some legal business out of the corner booth. A match made in croissant heaven but Angela it seems is fighting some demons that involve the ability to trust and letting Matthew into her life and business may be pushing things beyond her comfort zone.
Good thing for Matthew is persistence should be his middle name because he breaks down one wall after another with Angela and shows her that you can make a difference in another person’s life when you take it slow and move with a passion in your heart that is pure. We all have traumatic events that have shaped who and what we are but if you let me hold your hand and stay close I bet you will see that life has a way of bringing the two right people together.
When you read a story and the ending brings tears of joy to your eyes you know the author understands the meaning of love

I'm officially in love with this book! It was a great way to break a rather long interracial romance fast. JJ Murray has managed to take an book about ordinary people and make it an extraordinarily romantic and delectable read. It has a Lad Lit feel that I rather liked, despite the fact I'm not a fan of either Lad Lit or Chick Lit. Highly recommend it.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley and am providing an honest review.
I had mixed feelings based on where I was in the book. First, I really liked Until I Saw Your Smile. It was funny and I really enjoyed the developing relationship. Then, things took a turn for the serious and started feeling like a different book. Separately, they could have both been good books, but I have a hard time with my comedies turning into dramas.
Matthew was funny and it was interesting to read about his mishaps with women. He loved his city a little too much (maybe not loved it too much, but definitely talked about it too much). For the most part, I also liked Angela. She was good with her customers and cared about giving her customers quality products at a fair price. She lost me at the times when it seemed like she had issues with her skin tone (I will say that these moments were few and far between but it's not something I like reading about). Not because she was Black, but because she wasn't light-skinned and she was skeptical that a White man could go for someone that wasn't lighter. It was the teensiest bit annoying.
Something really bad happened to Angela that is brought to our attention because one of Matthew's clients is suffering from PTSD and so is she. It just gives the story a heavier tone and it lasts for the whole second half of the book. It's not that this portion of the story was written poorly, it's just that I thought I was reading a romantic comedy in the beginning and things changed halfway through. So be prepared for that and an overuse of the word 'booty'.
I do feel that overall the author did a great job and I would definitely read more of his work!
ETA: My apologies to the author for using 'her' originally!

...Honestly, I don't really have much to say about this book besides verbally expressing my irritation for the unnecessary length of it. This book was so drawn out that it was almost like beating a horse and everything moved way too fast to even be considered realistic, just hardly any real character development between the two main characters. Honestly, Murray's books aren't really that amazing anyway, it's just kind of a buffer to read in my opinion and I think I was more drawn to the fact that he is a white male writing about Black women and interracial relationships. And the black woman he seems to be consistently writing about is jaded in some way and there will always be some comment or other about 'booty'. Really, fam? But everything is beginning to really to seem the same with Murray's novels and I'm pretty much over it. There really wasn't anything special about this book, the characters, or the plot. I just wanted it to end at least two hundred pages earlier.

I have slowly become a fan of books told from the male’s POV so I thought I would enjoy this book. It has that plus a beautiful cover and it is about an interracial couple which I was happy to see. And, as added bonus is that a pastry shop is the central location and who doesn’t love a book that includes tasty goodies???
Until I Saw Your Smile felt like it was two different books. Part of it was quite funny and was well on its way to becoming a cute romance novel. And, then without warning it took a 180 and became quite serious. There seemed to be an obvious disconnect over the direction the author wanted to take.
The funny parts of the book were the positives of the book. Angela and Matthew were both very likable characters. I simply wished the book would have stayed on the fun, sweet course instead of something else.

I'm the B half of a interracial partnership and when I saw this novel I was very curious about it. There's not a whole lotta male romance writers out there, less who are white guys writing about love between Black women and white men. The cover seemed really sweet, so I gave it a go. The cover?? Seriously misrepresents this book! It is soft and cute and fluffy, but the novel is funny, odd, sharp at times, pretty darn long for a romance, and gets into some dark themes. At times it's a hard boiled detective story, other times it's a rumination on military service, other times it's a hilarious but also kinda rude and unfair account of NYC female archetypes. The prison-tattooed bad girl, the drunk, the Jezebel, and the walled-off rich girl all make an appearance. What I found even stranger about this story is that it seemed to be stitching together the conventions of this form (meet cute, the sexually inexperienced woman, the sexually experienced but somehow not slutty man, marriage, Christmas) with modern norms (living together before marriage, physically strong and capable women, the Internet) and then throwing NYC on top like some kind of wacky time capsule bearing the fruits of all the zany, diverse people and situations that are quintessentially New York. Finally, lets take a moment to wonder about Matthew, the protagonist, and all the women who seem to be REALLY into him. My question: wwwwwwhy?! He's not THAT cute, yet he manages to consistently sidestep the "slept with and condescended to a whole lotta women" element and dance past the double-standards that confine and reduce the women around him, and come out 'the good guy.' Here's me giving that aspect of the book major side-eye. (Also, reserving some amused grumpiness for the term ‘booty’, which is applied to women over and over and, finally! finally near the end of the book is slapped on Matthew himself. Yep. Men have bootys, too.) So, yeah, I liked it, but it was weird.

As a fan of Interracial Romance and anything that's captivatingly awesome, I have to say that I am more than impressed by J.J Murray's latest endeavor.
Not only was it captivating and intense, but it was also thought-provoking as well. The characters were touchable, and the world-building was so incredible, that you actually felt like you were right there with the characters.
However, let me say that even though I loved it, the book wasn't entirely pitch perfect. At some point during the 50%-70% portion, there seemed to be a small amount of lag going on.. Also, during this point in the book, Michael's internal and external dialogue seemed a little disjointed.
Other than that, I really do believe that J.J. Murray is hitting his stride as an author, and I look forward to seeing what he's going to do next..
Giving this one: 4 solid stars.

I liked that this book was told from the man’s POV entirely and Matthew proved to have a very hilarious POV. With that being said, this was a slow read for me because of what I felt like an excessive attention to detail (description of places, events, etc.). So I skimmed and concentrated on the meat of the story. It is heartening to know that men have the same issues with “romantic bad luck”. I liked that I was witness to his “awakening” to the gem that was Angela…their banter was witty and engaging but then the book turned a corner and landed smack dab on serious avenue. While I applaud the author for tackling such a heavy topic (PTSD), it felt disjointed from other parts of the book and made this a choppy read for me. All in all, a good dose of everyday reality bookended by the wonder that is falling in love.

June 9, 2014Uhhhh, yeahno. You know what stereotype I could really live without? The money-hungry "spicy" Latina. Maybe this douche-nozzle's girlfriend left him because he looked down on her. And maybe because he wanted a "caliente" sex life without having to deal with an actual Hispanic woman.
Also, this guy's internal monologue is well-nigh unendurable. If there's going to be so much navel-gazing, it should be written in first-person, not third. I give up at 5%.

I decided to add the book to my DNF pile at p. 19, but I continued until the end of the sample (p. 64) just to have some extra context. I don't often comment on books that I don't finish, and I barely even started Until I Saw Your Smile. I made an exception because Matthew, the supposed love interest, is so incredibly off-putting. I take it that he's meant to be pitiable--even pathetic--and a little cringe since his ex dumps him via Post-It Note. He refers to her as "muy sexy" before he realizes that she's left (and she's taken more than she ever contributed with her in the process). It is so deliberately over the top that I can anticipate a growth arc, but I'm not interested.
In the Year of Our Lord 2024, no author should deploy tired, racist stereotypes about Latina women (or Latino men) for any reason. Flipping through another 36 pages, I confirmed that Matt is a sleazeball and Joy Rios is far from the only person of colour reduced to a caricature in the first few chapters. It doesn't bode well for an interracial romance when racism is embedded in the third-person narration as well as the white love interest's perspective and voice. It repulsed me as a black woman and I didn't love that in her brief appearance, Angela is juxtaposed against Joy and would-be one-night-stand Monique Freitas.
While the racism is reason enough to bypass Until I Saw You Smile, I found Matt's random infodumps annoying. I like trivia as a rule, but when he went on a tangent about A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, it struck me as unnatural and interrupted any sense of flow. I like when books set the scene, especially in a city as storied as NYC, but I felt as if Matt's anecdotes added zero value. And I sincerely hope that "Billyburg" isn't a popular nickname for Williamsburg because it sounds ridiculous.
In 60+ pages, I didn't see a single redeeming quality in this romance. I hated the hero. I don't care about his struggling legal practice. Based on our brief glimpse of Angela, I suspect she'll serve as a Mammy for Matt and as a contrast to the other women's Jezebel. I couldn't be less interested in the dynamic that's likely to unfold between our heroine and the racist, misogynist loser cast as the hero. Nope.

This is a pretty thick paperback novel. I have to admit that I was worried that about half way thru, I'd be bored. Either the romance would be pointless or the sex would be redundant. I was pleasantly surprised to be thoroughly engaged from page 1 until the end.
Matthew is a hot mess. He has the worst taste in lovers, friends and associates. But, you can't help but hope that he gets his sh*t together. Angela is a bit of a mystery. Almost from the beginning the reader knows that something bad has happened to her, but the pacing and unfolding was very well done.
For me the best part was the dialogue. There were times when I was laughing out loud.
Usually, I can say the story belongs to one main character, more than the other. Not this time. Angela and Matthew both evolve in beautiful and authentic ways. Their romance is sexy, cerebral and sensuous.
Highly recommend.

I always love JJ Murray's books. This one was interesting and heartfelt. The heroine doesn't realize she's living in her own little world after a devastating attack and the hero doesn't know he's a chronic serial dater until he finally realizes that the woman he tells his bad dating episodes to is thee woman for him. JJ Murray is truly funny and I always laugh out loud to something he does through his characters. Sometimes the books are a little lengthy but I still can't stop reading. From a writer standpoint, I'm always amazed at the number of women the hero goes through and how diverse they are and that's good writing to separate them so well so they aren't all the same and be hilarious all at the same time.!

Another wonderful love story
This story covered every emotion to its utmost extreme. Matthew's trudge through dating all types of women brought him to where he finally belonged. Angela's coffee shop. The courting was quirky and fun. They had rough patches but love can see you through anything.
Warning, this story does contain 2 heart wrenching cases PTSD due to trauma. Matthew stays with Angela and loves her completely even through the storm.
This was well written with the most amazing love that was not over the top or forced.
I love Mr. Murray's stories because they are completely developed and not perfect. I look forward to exploring more of this authors stories. Even the ones with some poor reviews. It's about perspective and understanding.

Wow....Wonderfully Heartfelt
JJ you have become one of my favourite authors. A masterpiece , such realistic writing style.
This story is classy and intriguing, well developed with an amazing and memorable cast of characters. Lots of laugh out loud moments, lots of heart pounding moments and lots of love and honesty. Beautifully detailed, poignant, I just could not put it down yet I did not want it to finish. A breathtaking adventure that grabbed hold of my heart and would not let go.
I absolutely loved this book and have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending it. Thank you J J Murray 😁

This book was honestly ahead of its time. I was seriously impressed by how diverse and inclusive it was, specifically in regard to race, religion, mental health, trauma, and love. It was romantic, smutty, and included a little bit of mystery. It made me tear up a little, and made my heart race. It's been a long time since I've read books due to a busy college life, but this book made me remember how much I love reading, and how much I want to make it more of a habit. I read it all in only two days. Strongly recommend!!!

Ava and Matthew - The smile did it for a lifetime
Awesome! Another wonderful book by this author, J.J. Murray. From beginning to end the reader is in profound thought and amazing scenery as the minds eye brings the authors words to life. It’s like you’re at a theater watching as the characters lives play out and flows from this book! Ava was not defeated nor a victim but triumphant at the trial of her attacker, so much so that he decided to change his plea. Guilty!!!

I loved the entire book from start to finish. It having an interracial couple did not make a difference to me the book was capacitive funny tearful affordable inspiring sad but most of all it showed unconditional love. I laughed fried and got angry as I read the trial chapter. But in the end justice was served love won once again.

I loved everything about this book. I loved the characters, especially Matt and his crazy dates.
May 5, 2014
Until I Saw Your Smile is the first book that I've read by this author. I enjoyed the beginning of the book. The women Matthew went out with were all somewhat extreme, and it was funny reading about his dates. Matthew and Angela were both really likeable characters. Both were smart (except for Matthew when it came to women), and both were down-to-earth characters that people can relate to. The only thing I didn't like about the story is how much Matthew kept talking about the city/neighborhood. I get that he was proud of where he was from, but way too many pages were taken up with him talking about it.

It was an okay read. I mistakenly read the book immediately after I took the bar exam. I figured I'd be able to not think and relax as I read the book.
However, I found myself yelling out loud because most of the book is a violation of ethics which all attorneys must follow. Then the courtroom scene was almost too much for me.
Other than JJ Murray's lack of knowledge legal procedure, the book was a good read. I couldn't your it down.

I now understand the reviews saying it was like 2 different books in one. Yet I liked them both. I can go with as the relationship evolved the book changed. But I enjoyed how it started and how it ended.
What I didn't love was how he writing seemed bundled together. It seemed like run on chapters. Didn't stop me from liking the overall story but could have been more stars if there was more separateness.

Funny, sweet and sexy! I read several reviews that said they were surprised to read a romance from a male POV. I have read many romances from a male POV, at least part of the book was from his perspective. This is the first romance I have read by a male author, however. Kudos to J. J. Murray. I will be reading all of his work.

This was a good story! I liked the beginning more the end. Possibly because it was lighter and I found myself laughing out loud at parts. I enjoyed it tho and will be looking for more from this author!

I fall in love with each novel I read of JJ Murray. I enjoy the male POV writing, if give a different feel to the story. The characters were fun to get to know. What I like the most are the personalities seem real, not over done. Fun, emotional and loving story to read. Very hug worthy!
