Until Tomorrow
"Powerfully charged with thrilling escapades, colorful history, realism, romance, and a pair of memorable characters who prove that love can indeed triumph over everything." ―Romantic Times
Addy wants nothing more than to leave her small Illinois home for the gold-rich hills of Colorado, where a teaching job awaits. But her plans are thwarted when a band of outlaws rob the very bank in which she is withdrawing her savings, taking her hostage in the process. Rogue and ruthless, her captives sweep her off to the country with evil intent, but one man stands in the way.
Ex-Confederate soldier Parker Cole doesn't understand his own fierce determination to protect the beautiful captive from his fellow bandits. Touched by her courage and spirit, he vows to prove his love to her, following Addy to a mining boomtown filled with dreamers and desperados. Fearless though he may be, Parker must summon all of his courage to beat out the line of rich and powerful suitors in the pursuit of the greatest treasure―Addy's heart.

About the author
Rosanne Bittner
84 books622 followersI am a USA-TODAY best-selling author with 41 years, 76 books, and numerous writing awards behind me. My major genre is historical romance. I have always written for standard publishers but am now writing strictly for Amazon so I have more freedom to write real history. My most recent publication is SHADOW TRAIL, the 6th book in my Outlaw Hearts series. I also wrote and published my first full-length contemporary story, DANCING BENEATH YOU, in September 2022, a romance involving mystery and a depiction of reservation life in the Badlands of South Dakota. My best sellers are my SAVAGE DESTINY series (7 books) and my OUTLAW HEARTS series. See my website (www.rosannebittner.com) for details on all my books - most available for Kindle and in print. I am known for great love stories filled with real history and high emotion. I have also written many Native American stories, all based on real history.
I love American history. For those of you who have not yet read my books, my stories are generally set in the American West of the 1800s and feature vividly described, historically accurate settings that span the US from Missouri to California, from Canada to Mexico. Many of my books portray the poignant history of our Native Americans, and though the characters are my own, I use real historical locations and events in all my novels. I have also written about the French & Indian wars, American Revolution, the War of 1812, the war with Mexico (the Alamo), and the Civil War.
National magazine ROMANTIC TIMES has called me the "Queen of Western Romance" and an "emotional powerhouse." My husband and I have traveled the west for nearly 40 years and I have visited just about every location mentioned in my books.

August 19, 2012I read every page until around page 65. The story was very well written and exciting but eventually the book carried too many details for a rather predictable story.
The main characters Addy and Nick were very interesting. I loved their personalities but too quickly did they appear as a typical romantic couple. It was the "I heard it all before" thoughts that came so rapidly and it really turned me off. And Nick, sometimes, was too soft for my taste.

Cole and Addy have one heck of a journey.
Rosanne Bittner never disappoints. The tragedy that initially brought the hero and heroine together rages in and out of their lives. Drawn together with lust and denying that same draw becoming love crosses through the action as they each save one another at times. In Central Colorado it all comes to a head. Their scars and memories have to heal here in this mining town. Can they find peace and happiness? And love? Has the journey ended for them both and living begun? This story will keep you on edge until the very end. Read it for yourself. Your heart will embrace them. 5 stars Thank you for this story.

Not horrible but not great. This book felt like it went on forever. I think if the author had not repeated the same phrases again and again throughout the book it would have cut down on a quarter of its length. That and the two main characters were so wishy-washy as to whether they want to be together or not that I wanted to slap them both!

Until Tomorrow was a good read but for me not one of Bittner’s best such as Heart’s Surrender, Sweet Prairie Passion, Full Circle, Thunder on the Plains, Blue Hawk Saga, Sioux Splendor and Wildest Dreams. All those books shredded my emotions, kept me avidly reading and the romances were so heartwarmingly beautiful.
Addy, who lives in Illinois and wants to be a school teacher has a job offer from Central City, Colorado. As she’s getting ready to leave on her journey she gets caught in a bank robbery and abducted. One of the outlaws is Cole … he rescues her and they’re instantly attracted to each other. The rest of the story swirls around the back and forth of their denial of attraction, and then their scorching desire for each other.
Overall, the story was predictable, and tho there were a few plot twists they weren’t shocking or gut wrenching as they are in many other Bittners. I found the romance to be nice but it never tugged at my heart strings or left a tear in my eye as some other Bittners have done. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I struggled with several scenes from the first part of this book and came close to give up on it. Fortunately I kept listening, and Until Tomorrow has a great ending, making it worth it. Just beware, this one does have a scene of doubious consent. Happy reading/listening!

Widowed Addy Kane was abducted during a bank robbery in Unionville, Illinois. A member of the bank bandits, shot during the robbery, followed the robbers back to their hole. There he shot it out with the leader, who wanted to abuse Addy.
Nick Coleman/Cole Parker and Addy meet again and again over Addy's trip to Colorado to take a teaching post. Neither are ready for love or marriage, but they can't shake the inevitability of their meetings.
This is a great story that won't let go until the last page.

I stopped at about 30% and I was already doing a LOT of skimming. The writer seems to have a very choppy way of storytelling. We jump over crucial moments that could be interesting like Addy andCole’s return to Unionville but then we take our sweet time over terrain we’ve been to before. Why do we need to be told the same information over and over (Patty’s death, Addy’s anger at specific townspeople)?
The writer also seems to want to tell us everything in a real rush of words. Conversations aren’t the gentle back and forth of a few lines, instead we get uninterrupted paragraphs from characters. And nobody ASKED the character for that much information.
The writer also doesn’t believe in letting the reader figure things out. It’s all spelled out for us from the get go as to who, what, why and how Cole has reached his present state. Same with Addy. Ms. Bittner also needs to TELL us what the characters are feeling as opposed to showing us. To me a curled fist is more effective than the words, “He was angry”.
Don’t tell me the characters understand each other, let me see it for myself. And telling me didn’t make it so. I found both characters dull and too taken with navel gazing.
Maybe I’ll try a different book of the author’s.

I rather have a weakness for tough outlaws who actually have soft hearts they're protecting, and know that a good woman is a treasure worth pursuing no matter the obstacles. Cole and Addy have quite the journey and fight on their hands to make their hea come true. But as any good love story goes, true love wins and helps heal the past.

This was a great read. Mind you I gave it four stars instead of five because there were places I skimmed, such as the pages of dialogue about the gold mines, etc. I enjoyed the cast of characters, especially Sassy. The plot twisted and turned enough to keep me wondering what would happen next. I enjoyed h/h. They were a great pairing.
