Until We Break

By: Cynthia Dane, Hildred Billings

Narrated by: Trish Thompson

Stefani Valetti

For the past few years, Stefani has been running her family’s Oregon winery, Bel Cielo Estate. The only thing missing from her picturesque countryside life is companionship. But with a great distaste for dating - and the city - Stefani approaches an international service to make her marital dreams come true.

Enter Yulia, the alluring Russian woman with a penchant for heavy flirtation. She occasionally puts her money where her mouth is, too, driving Stefani wild with fantasies that this marriage might be more than convenience.

Yet she can’t shake the feeling that Yulia has an ulterior motive. Or maybe that’s the Valettis’ collective past coming back to bite them.

Yulia Petrova

Yulia Petrova will do whatever it takes to get to America, specifically, the Pacific Northwest, where the only person who matters is waiting for her.

She’ll even marry a total stranger. A woman, no less.

The trick isn’t balancing her own preferences. No, the trick is keeping her new fiancée from finding out the truth too quickly. First, she must ensure that Stefani is in love with her. Then, Yulia must reveal the tragic truth that has brought her to America.

Dosvidaniya, mi amore

Their budding passion and rising trust in one another is about to be severely complicated by the illness sweeping the world. For Stefani, that means shutting down the winery and hiding behind her chronic anxiety. For Yulia, that means taking all matters into her own hands. The whole world could burn, and she would still get what she came here for.

And she will do it alone - with or without the woman she’s come to love.

A Russian Bride

Stefani runs her family’s winery in Oregon and wants a marriage and children. Yula is a beautiful Russian woman who wants to live in America in Oregon or Washington. She agrees to marry Stefani and help with the children. Can this relationship ever be real or will their secrets destroy them? Another brilliant performance and erotic romance. Recommend.

Loved it!

This book offers so much, lots of plot twists and chuckles!

Interesting romance

Until We Break is one of the first audiobooks I’ve listened to where I did not like one of the main characters, possibly even both of them. That being said, Cynthia Dane and Hildred Billings offers one of the most interesting relationships in the lesbian romance genre. Stefani, a successful winery owner decides for a marriage of convenience with Yulia, from Russia. What makes this interesting is that through most of it, I find myself asking, ‘how will this work, and why should it?’, but the authors eventually find a way to make it work. Trish Thompson does an excellent job with narrating many different voices, though her voice for Yulia does seem a little stiff and stereotypical Russian. There are times where Yulia’s accent is perfectly set for her deeds. The journey is worth the listen. Thankyou to Trish Thompson for the complementary access to this audiobook. This is a great first-Lesfic-narration; Cynthia Dane and Hildred Billings chose well to have their fascinating story read by Trish Thompson.

Congratulations. This was a good book - Поздравляю

I was a nervous wreck. I couldn't wait to get back to the story each time I had to quit because of errands. Anyway, please try not to write such interesting books. I can't get anything done.

Steamy, intriguing story

Another great book by Hildred Billings. Great story and excellent narration. And good sexy time! 😁
