I was attracted by the cover and the story sounded promising, but I didn't enjoy this book as much as I'd hoped. I nearly gave up early on but managed to plow through it until the end. My thanks to netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.

This book is a mixture of genres, mainly romance and fantasy but there is also some art history, science and mystery in there too. I was intrigued by the synopsis and on the whole the book did not disappoint. It did take me a couple of chapters to get into the story and to get to know the characters and get my head around what the situation was with Vita , which is introduced slowly. The characters are nicely portrayed .
Chapters are narrated by the main characters in turn which worked okay for me .Some reservations about the superfast acceptance of both into each others lives, but this is fiction ! A romantic read with a little more substance
Thanks to Net Galley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review

Ben has been living reasonably well with an illness, that suddenly spirals and becomes life threatening. Vita is introduced to the reader as a lover of Leonardo de Vinci paintings that she has gathered together from around the world and is exhibiting in London.
Their paths collide one night and their lives become a beautiful love affair, but it's not without it's pitfalls and drama.

Unfortunately, though I liked the premise of this book from the description, I had to DNF it.
There was far too much discussion around art for my tastes and it seemed as though the entire book was going to revolve around this which, had I known that was the premise, would have stopped me from requesting the book.
I also felt there were some incredibly rose-tinted glasses in the way that London was described and I couldn't get past this, as someone who has been to London enough times to decide that it is not somewhere I could ever romanticise like the author clearly does.
With that said, if this book is marketed as a love letter to art and London as well as a story about a time travel love story then I'm sure it will do well.

Ben doesn't know if each day will be his last, while Vita is living forever. When these two meet and fall in love, they know they are doomed, but together they try and find a way to have a future. Full of interesting characters and a real love of London, with a lot of power given to DaVinci, this is an interesting and enjoyable read.

What an original novel involving Ben and Vita who meet, but unfortunately life takes a different turn. I actually found it a strange read, but kept going with it. Ben has travelled to London after he has been told he only has a short time to live without telling his parents. The story also revolves around Da Vinci and Vita’s art gallery.

strong statement incoming….. this is one of my favourite books ever. what ever i was expecting this to was not it but what a joy!!
i was hooked, i loved the characters i loved the story i loved the twists
it had romance and intrigue, history and sadness
a joy to read and that i will definitely read again

This is an unusual and interesting story. It's hard to review this book without giving away any spoilers. I really enjoyed reading this book though. It was emotional and engaging.
Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher for my ARC.

Ben Church has lived with Marfan syndrome since he was diagnosed at sixteen years old, but has just received the devastating news that a new aneurysm has formed next to the brain stem. An operation is not an option and the aneurysm could rupture at any time in the next few months, weeks, or even days. Shocked to discover that he might only have a few days left to live, he leaves Yorkshire and travels to London, determined to live life to the full. He is an optical engineer and has designed a revolutionary high spectrum lens which can separate out image layers of a subject and separate individual elements on a molecular level.

Vita Ambrose is an art curator for the Bianchi Collection, she has been working for years to bring together a collection of Leonardo Da Vinci's portraits and all her hard work has paid off, finally the Louvre has agreed to lend the exhibition La Belle Ferronnière, Da Vinci's portrait of an unknown woman. Vita believes that the portrait contains one of Da Vinci's greatest secrets and she is determined to uncover it.

Ben and Vita meet by chance when Vita saves a small child from being run over by a bus and Ben pulls her to safety, he catches sight of the brochure in Vita's hand for the exhibition and asks her if she's been - he intended to go because La Belle Ferronnière was on the cover of one of his mother's books when he was a child and Ben used to try to copy Leonardo's drawings of his inventions.

What future can there be for a man with only days to live and a woman who is tired of living?

I found this confusing to get into. Told from alternate POVs of Vita and Ben, there is no indication of who is narrating and so I wasn't sure who was talking, especially when they went somewhere new or talked to someone new.

So ... I wasn't really feeling it and TBH I was inclined to DNF but decided to give it at least until I had read a quarter of the book before making a decision. And it suddenly got good, as in I can't tell you because its a spoiler good. I really liked where it seemed to be going and it reminded me vaguely of a cross between The Da Vinci Code and one of my favourite books of all time The Eight. Of course Vita and Ben meet up, his lens could help her decode the painting.

Then it seemed to get mired down in insta-lurve and visits to Ben's mother in Yorkshire and chats to Vita's neighbour etc rather than the Da Vinci secret which is what I was interested in. There was a lot of wafty language about rooftops and feelings.

Overall, I was left with the feeling that this was a book written in a way which didn't suit the plot, I don't think we needed to hear Ben's POV, it didn't add anything. The arty descriptive language didn't gel with the idea of deciphering the Da Vinci which (to me) feels like it should be more of a detective style prose.

Anyway, I felt it dragged in the middle then had a rushed ending.

I was given an ARC by the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.

This was a beautiful story about hope and you can't help but love the characters its also a book that will make you smile when you think about it i absolutely loved it I just love this authors books and can't wait for the next one

A beautiful book. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. Rowan Coleman is fast becoming one of my favourite authors

From Now Until Forever was an unexpected read - a love story with a time travelling twist ( I won’t give any other plot spoilers!). I haven’t read anything by the author before but I’ve always wanted to and was drawn to the cover of this novel.
I liked the character of Ben and enjoyed the first few chapters of the novel. However I found it hard to warm to Vita and empathise with her. It was a slow paced novel that didn’t draw me in and overall I found the genre was not for me.
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this digital ARC.

From Now Until Forever is not my normal type of book and unfortunately I really struggled with it. It wasn't what I was expecting at all and it just didn't work for me.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for my ARC.

There was something very peaceful about reading this book. It was a love story but slightly unusual from anything I have read before. I loved the two main characters who were very well portrayed and I liked the way they evolved. But the “mystical “ side of it was a bit too fanciful for me, lessening my overall enjoyment.
A very solid author who draws her readers in skilfully with excellent writing.
3.5 stars

Beautifully written book , I didn’t read the blurb just wanted to read it from the title and front cover and at nearly 100 pages in I got a nice surprise , definitely recommend this as a reminder of what love and life is about , thanks you net galley for the chance to read this

Thank you NetGalley and Hodder & Stoughton for the ARC, here I leave my honest review!

I feel like riding a rollercoaster while read this book. This book tell us about hope and love, at the same time I also feel hope and crush and hope again, repeating until I just want to see how this book end. I have a lot to say about this book, but I afraid I could spoil the whole story or at least the main one. So I just want to say that I love the story in this book. I learned about art especially Leonardo Da Vinci, search everything about the paint that told in the book. Kind of lost about the year in this book because I don't know in what year are they now or what is the chronological year they mention. But beside that I love it.

I love the characters here. I love Ben and I can feel his despair, join his feeling about the love and hope he has. I still not sure whether I like the ending or not. It feels like a real one and memorable to me. Btw, I love how the author also explain to us how this magical things happen to Vita. Recommend to read this one!

I would firstly just like to say a big thank you to NetGalley who very kindly forwarded me an arc copy of this book, for m kindle, in return for my honest review.

From Now Until Forever had such a lovely blurb that instantly pulled me in and made me want to find out more!

It was a very easy book to read and each chapter flowed very nicely into the next one and made me turn the pages very quickly to find out what was going to happen next.

Ben and Vita were both wonderful characters and when they met each other they had instant chemistry and I really enjoyed being involved in their story.

This was a beautiful story that shows just how good an author that Roman Coleman is………

I’ve been waiting for the book that would fill the void of PS I Love You and Me Before You. And here it is…
I absolutely fell in love with this book, from the very first word
I read well past my bedtime reading about Ben and Vida’s story.
It is such a hard book to review without any spoilers
I can guarantee that this book will take you on an emotional journey you will not want to end and certainly one you will not forget.
The writer definitely has a talent!
The book is out tomorrow

Took a bit to get into but glad I persevered as it was great! Really well written, bit unbelievable at times but worked within the story and didn’t spoil it at all. Definitely recommend, thanks to Netgalley x
