Until I found you
Fate.
Can we fight against it? Do we really choose our own path or is it chosen for us? Are the ones in our lives put there for a reason or is it all coincidental?
Leyna Blake has had many hardships and heartaches in her 21 years of life. It has left her guarded and untrusting of others. She’s broken, feeling as though there’s nothing left of herself to give. She thought she was content living her life feeling only half alive. That is until he comes into her life and changes it all, the charismatic Micah Eason. Micah has a devastating past of his own that he doesn’t allow the outside world to see. It leaves him feeling detached and void of any emotional connection until he meets Leyna. The two share a connection that draws them to one another like magnets. With both being broken in their own way, they slowly become each other’s solace and safe haven. However, neither of them would be prepared for the devastating outcome that one of their secrets carries.
This romantic emotional roller coaster leaves to question...
Can you truly outrun your past or will it follow to haunt you forever? Can love truly overcome all?

Honestly the sex scenes sound as if they were written by a horny teenager who just found out what wattpad was.

"Nothing calmed me. I felt like the world kept turning and I was stuck never moving forward. Nothing made me feel alive. Nothing made me feel complete. Until I found you."-Kuristien Elizabeth, Until I Found You 🔥
This book man! This book took me on a roller coaster ride! In the best way possible. I was so invested in the characters Micah and Leyna and their whole world. It made me frustrated, laugh, cry....all the things. Their love and passion for eachother and the way they interacted was so beautiful and crazy all at the same time. I'm so intrigued and excited to see where they will go from here. It left me wanting to know what is gonna happen next. I cannot wait for the next book!
@author_kuristien_elizabeth you are a beautiful soul inside and out. You have shown me kindness in the last few months when you didn't even know me. I will always appreciate that more than you know. It was a true honor to read your debut novel, I cannot wait to see where you take us next on Micah and Leynas journey. This book wrecked me, but I loved every minute of it. ❤

for all those looking for reccomendations or their latest obsession, I cant reccomend UNTIL I FOUND YOU by Kuristien Elizabeth Author enough OMG!!! its addictive. it arrived lastnight and I told myself I'd read a quick chapter to relax before bed, that was almost 7 hours, and 3 cups of tea ago ( I'm dyslexic so a very slow reader 😔) but I just can't put it down not even to go sleep, had to read it from cover to cover but its amazing I love it
imagen all the good points of hardin scott ( after) and Travis maddox ( beautiful disaster/maddox brother series) mixed with the true love and turmoil and some of the "bedroom or should I say shower scenes" 🔥🔥 would a 💯% reccomend to fill the book hole in our lives!!!
the writing is 5⭐, the romance and turmoil of the characters are 5⭐ and I feel like I was brought along for the ride and hooked from the very first page. the only downside I can find is.... I have to wait for the next book to arrive in summer :(
this book is easily one of my top 5 stories and reminds me very much of anna todds writing 💖

Micah and Leyna.
Micah is a hot-tempered guy with a dark past, he's protective and territorial.
Leyna, A girl with an unfortunate past. Afraid of coming out of her comfort zone.
Leyna and Micah meet at a bar when Leyna becomes a feisty, badass woman. It is obvious so unfortunate that Micah's best friend takes a strong interest in Leyna's best friend. Meaning Micah and Leyna will have to see each other more often. Leyna got heartbroken by a previous partner and is vulnerable to go back there with someone so she doesn't open up for some time. She's not a virgin but she's not experienced. Yep, you guessed it Micah is the opposite. They hit it off and become a couple quickly.
Until.....
*PLOT TWIST* Did he know who she was before he even spoke to her at the bar. Was it all a game or some obsession?

Okay, time for an honest review! First of all, I'd like to praise the author because this is her first debut novel and that alone is an achievement. Based on what I have read, she definitely is talented and this book has lots of potential. I really enjoy the writing style!
Here comes the difficult part that made me give this book three stars - mainly the characters. If you follow my reviews and my bookstagram, you know I LOVE assholes. Give me a bad brooding boy any day. Micah however, was not a bad boy. He was a manipulator who hasn't come to terms with the fact that double standard is not cool in the 21st century. I had a huge issue with him during their first fight and he hasn't managed to warm up to me since. Leyna was sweet and nice but a total pushover, not just based on what Micah did to her and she let it slide, but also because of how she let her best friend treat her. The storyline lacked smoothness, a natural flow that books should have. Too many very similar conflicts between the main characters made it difficult to keep up with the story.
On the other hand, the sex scenes were definitely very sexy! Despite the (in my opinion) very toxic relationship between Micah and Leyna, they certainly had a huge chemistry! Cheers to the author for that, this book sure was hot!
Overall, as I have said above, this book has a huge potential, but I think it needs more editing work. I definitely encourage everyone to pick up the book and give it a try!

This book starts the ride of there worlds colliding and Im just holding on for the ride.. Absolutely beautiful and hot as hell.. I cant wait to see where the next book takes me.

Fate? unconditional love?
I absolutely love this book it reminded me of some of my favorites that is for sure.
Well here It goes ......Until I found you..... Leyna and Micha story is a rollercoaster ride. There is heartache, trauma, love, pain, chemistry and bring on the passion. I found my self laughing, getting angry and wanting to toss my kindle at the wall. I also felt the pain and emotions from this story.
I absolutely loved Leyna I felt myself connected to her in some ways, she was just so beautiful but didn't see that of herself.
Micha was just the territorial alpha male who you just swoon over and fall in love with even with his flaws we all have them.
Until I found you was perfect 5 star read and I can't wait to see what happens next. Kuristien I absolutely enjoyed this story! Amazing!

This book was amazing and so well written! I honestly couldn’t put it down! The connection between Micah and Leyna was incredible and I could wait to read more about how they navigated their new, hot, and very very sexy relationship! The end was such a cliffhanger and I can’t wait to read the next book to see how their relationship progresses!

Amazing!
I finished the book in a day. I couldn't put it down and the end left me speechless and can't wait for the sequel.

♥ Quick Thoughts and Rating: 5 stars!
Isn't it just so great when you find one of those books that completely drags you in, makes you fall in love with the characters and demands that you sit on the edge of your seat for every horrific, nail-biting moment of it? This is one of those books for me.
I love the romance between Micah and Leyna. It's so sweet and enchanting. Micah as a hot-tempered guy with a dark past. So protective and territorial of his girl.
Leyna, A girl with an unfortunate past. Afraid of coming out of her comfort zone. Until Micah showed up in her life.
I love how they both moulded into a better soul for each other.
Everything is as right as rain between them.
Until.....
Leyna found out the worst-case scenario that made her heart shattered into pieces and so did my heart. 😭
Oh my God. I got the chills so many times toward the end of this book. It completely blew my mind. It managed to surpass my high expectations AND be nothing at all like I expected. Or in Newspeak "Double Plus Good!"
I LOVE YOU KURISTIEN ELIZABETH!!!! 💖
WOW! For your debut novel! 💖
Can't wait for the sequel!!!!! 🥰🥰
All in all, it’s an amazing story! See for yourself!😊

The best by far, loved everything about it, the strong willed woman that doesn't take shit from anyone...the ideal facts about life and the past is a whole new adventure..... I really can't wait for book 2 to be published, am so excited.... Kuristien is really a good author though. Thumbs up all the way, waiting the second book.
I really don't want to give spoilers or anything but I really can't help..but heads up, Leyna gets into an accident after finding out that Micah was involved in Lyle's death.❤❤

480 pages of trials and obstacles. This book has made me angry, horny, happy, and love. The twists and turns almost gave me whiplash. The love that these characters have for each other is realistic. Leyna has made me mad because she’s so afraid to let anyone in due to her trauma. Which is understandable. We all have a past. Micah has tried to break down her walls from the get-go. I absolutely love that Leyna is so fiery and independent. I also love that she’s fuller bodied, it’s nice to have representation. They are both damaged beyond belief in different ways. I absolutely loved this book from start to finish. Kuristien Elizabeth deserves all the praise she’s been getting! She’s currently working on the second installment in the series! 5 out of 5 stars for making me fall in love with these characters! I cannot wait to see what happens next!

This a romance novel so it’s probably filled with boring clichés and stereotypes right? We’ve all read them. They all begin to blur after a while. NOT THIS ONE. This is most certainly an exception to that! This is filled with real emotions. I’ve cried, laughed, cursed, found myself getting hot and bothered even. Elizabeth knocked it out of the ballpark with this one! I cant wait to read the sequel!!! Note it does end in a cliffhanger. A mind blowing one where you are questioning did that person know all along? Like what is happening!? I need answers!!!
August 30, 2025
HOT!!
Amazing! The characters are awesome, they suck you in and you feel everything they do. This book will bring you to the brink of crying, being passed off and just about every other emotion there is!!! It is written beautifully and with heart and soul. Leyna is a badass in every way, especially not taking shit from anyone. Micah is a very strong willed person that kicks ass! Until I found you is by far one of the best books I've read!!!!!!!

I was asked to read this for a review team I'm part of. I'm so happy I signed up for this book. My mind is blown!!🤯 That epilogue!!
This story had me from page one. Micah and Leyna are two broken but strong souls that are drawn to each other. ❤️🔥🔥. They are spicying up the pages. ❤️🔥🔥.
At the end bam!! Kuristien answers questions you didn't even have!! Mind blown!! 🤯🤯
I only have one question, when is book two coming?
Note it does end on a cliffhanger...

This was just terrible. The writing is bad, the plot is bad, and the spice was boring. I've never been so bored reading a book.
