Book Review: A Love Like Ours ~ The Review Stew

A book was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

About the book:

Former Marine Jake Porter has far deeper scars than the one that marks his face. He struggles with symptoms of PTSD, lives a solitary life, and avoids relationships.

When Lyndie James, Jake's childhood best friend, lands back in Holley, Texas, Jake cautiously hires her to exercise his Thoroughbreds. Lyndie is tender-hearted, fiercely determined, and afraid of nothing, just like she was as a child. Jake pairs her with Silver Leaf, a horse full of promise but lacking in results, hoping she can solve the mystery of the stallion's reluctance to run.

Though Jake and Lyndie have grown into very different adults, the bond that existed during their childhood still ties them together. Against Jake's will, Lyndie's sparkling, optimistic personality begins to tear down the walls he's built around his heart. A glimmer of the hope he'd thought he'd lost returns, but fears and regrets still plague him. Will Jake ever be able to love Lyndie like she deserves, or is his heart too shattered to mend?

About the author:

Becky Wade is a native of California who attended Baylor University, met and married a Texan, and moved to Dallas. She published historical romances for the general market, took time off to raise her children, then felt God nudging her to pursue contemporary Christian fiction. Becky's work has been a finalist for both a RITA and an INSPY Award.

My Opinion

A Love Like Ours is the 3rd book in the Porter Family novels by Becky Wade. Each one include characters from the other book but they each pretty much standalone. So if you haven't read the others, don't worry, this is still a great book!

Becky Wade never fails in sending a great message in a great book! I love the best friend history between Lyndie and Jake. It reminded me of me and my husband!

I loved watching Lyndie be persistent and have faith that Jake could come past his pain and PTSD. She was there for him every step of the way!

This book is a another great one in the series! I recommend reading them all because they are all great!
