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. . . Review: J.J. Murray at his best - J.J. Murrray is back at it again with this tale of love and this time at all happens in a little coffee shop in Brooklyn. Matthew McConnell is a recovering corporate laywer who is trying to get back into the dating scene; after being left by his girlfriend Joy. From the moment that I read this you start to feel a little bad for Matt. Joy has left him for a foreign exchange teacher and has taken almost everything in his apartment. Including the food in the fridge, the towels in the bathroom and his crappy microwave. All this leads him to call up a former coworker for his first date from hell. After being scared off by a certain womans condom collection he wanders into Smith's Sweet Treats & Coffee; and in enters Angela its pretty owner who instantly feels the need to chat Matt up. She gets a kick out of his bad date stories. As the story goes on Matt continues to have bad dates; one with a recently released felon, a Christian woman lusting after her pastor and a woman that feels the need to bring her bestfriend on the date. After each date from hell he goes back to Angela's coffee shop and devours her houseblend coffee and treats. Its not until he goes on his final date from hell that he begins to really see Angela. He is deteremined to breakthrough her defenses and boy oh boy does that take a lot of work. Angela has a lot of reasons to mistrust him. Mainly she thinks he is a player but also she is hiding a pretty big secret that makes opening up to someone really hard. As things move on Angela slowly falls in love too and opens up to Matt. They become not only partners in business but eventually in life. What I Loved about this book: Angela and Matt's relationship was extremely realistic, funny and loving. Murray told this story almost completely from Matt's prespective. You get to see him fall in love slowly and want to build something lasting with Angela. Matt makes sure to follow her lead; and by doing so he gains her trust and love in return. Also, for a romantic comedy (of sorts) J.J. Murray doesn't over do it with sex. He adds just enough at the right time, and its sweet and loving and beautiful. Also, Murray touches on some really heavy issues in this book. Which I can't reveal because that would lead to a huge spoiler (and I don't want to ruin this book for anyone). Favorite Quotes: 1) "Who lies about dropping six grand on a dress with a first, middle and last name? For six grand, it had better have a social security number and give you a tax break for living in your closet" 2) Matthew to Warrick: "I look forward to meeting you face to face, or are you to much of a coward? You like hiding in alleys and preying on defenseless women. Really, Warrick. Calling you a pussy would be a compliment." I give this book 5 Stars and would gladly recommend it to anyone that enjoys a class boy meets girl romance. Review: An interesting read - This was an interesting book. I was at first going to give it a five but then thought it was overly long and would have given it a three. The ending was very satisfactory, however and that brought it up to a four plus. Two things: 1) how could she call one of person's that liked her boyfriend a mongrel when if she married her boyfriend that they would have mixed children? I know she was upset, but .... 2) why say in the book that the boyfriend only liked people of color? Why could the person like people of all colors and it just happened that the person he loved had a darker complexion? ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #9,776,628 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #13,698 in Multicultural & Interracial Romance (Books) #16,630 in Women's Friendship Fiction #30,485 in Women's Domestic Life Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 119 Reviews | ## Images ![Until I Saw Your Smile - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/814Av1y9NeL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ J.J.

I was at first going to give it a five but then thought it was overly long and would have given it a three. The ending was very satisfactory, however and that brought it up to a four plus.

Its real and full of all that makes relationships work. No fake perfection or false declarations of love and rightness beyond the truth of humanity. There is a wide range of emotion throughout this story that drew me in. There is darkness at some point in everyone's life and it all matters. It shapes how we love and interact with others. I liked that his love stories are not rushed and you get to know the people in the stories. No craziness beyond getting to know each other. It starts by one encounter and then the promise of getting to know each other. Not in two weeks or two months but in real time. Time spent getting to know each other and the people in their lives, good and bad. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/14737582-until-i-saw-your-smile](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/14737582-until-i-saw-your-smile) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
