Book Review: True to You

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

About the book:

It's the exciting start of a brand-new series by a contemporary romance fan favorite!

After a devastating heartbreak three years ago, genealogist and historical village owner Nora Bradford has decided that burying her nose in her work and her books is far safer than romance in the here and now.

Unlike Nora, former Navy SEAL and Medal of Honor recipient John Lawson is a modern-day man, usually 100 percent focused on the present. But when he's diagnosed with an inherited condition, he's forced to dig into the secrets of his past and his adoption as an infant, enlisting Nora to help him uncover the identity of his birth mother.

The more time they spend together, the more this pair of opposites suspects they just might be a perfect match. However, John's already dating someone and Nora's not sure she's ready to trade her crushes on fictional heroes for the risks of a real relationship. Finding the answers they're seeking will test the limits of their identity, their faith, and their devotion to one another

My Opinion

I am a self-proclaimed historical fiction book lover but when I want a contemporary romance I turn to Becky Wade's books! I am a HUGE fan of Becky Wade and her great books and True to You is another great one I am recommending to everyone!

Becky Wade has again created a book that is fun, interesting with loveable characters and with a touch of romance all wrapped into a book that reminds us to trust God above it all!

I instantly fell in love with the characters and their love story and I cheered for them from the very start!  Becky Wade's books are the perfect read for reading on the beach, the deck or in the backyard while soaking up some sun this Summer!!

About the Book

Single mom Julia Dare has a lot on her plate.

A brand new Christian, Julia is busy trying to run her own business, spend time with her widowed mother, and raise her young son, Max, despite his father’s less-than-ideal influence on him. When a big account from her event-planning business sends her to the Caliente Springs resort, she’s shocked to come face-to-face with Zeke Monroe, the resort’s general manager and her college sweetheart.
With his faith in tatters, Zeke Monroe is determined to keep the historic Caliente Springs resort running despite financial difficulties. But when Julia walks back into his life, he can’t ignore the feelings she stirs up. As they work together on an important client’s dream wedding, the fate of the resort soon depends on their success. When Zeke and Julia are pushed to their limits both personally and professionally, will their history put up walls between them or bring them together?

My Opinion

I have been searching lately for a great book to read out in the sun and I just couldn't find one that could keep my attention..until I picked up Someone Like You! I instantly fell in love with the hardworking Julia and Zeke and loved watching their stories come together. I love the multiple love stories all within this one book and it was also a great reminder that God does not leave us even when we think he does. Every one has a different story about how God has guided them and I loved watching these unfold!

I loved this book from the first pages and I looked forward to picking it up to read every time I got a chance!

Book Review: Kissed by a Cowboy

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

About the book:

Cassidy was looking for a home and a place to belong . . . not for a cowboy to steal her heart.

Having lived through her parents' endless string of "matrimonial bliss gone wrong," Cassidy Starr knows when the odds are not in her favor. Divorced and humiliated, her faith on rocky ground, Cassidy is through with love. She's been bucked off that horse far too many times. Instead, she returns to Wishing Springs, Texas, and the rundown farm she's inherited from her great aunt Roxie. She'll reopen the strawberry farm and a bed & breakfast and follow in her aunt's footsteps, remaining forever-independent, happy . . . and single.

Rancher Jarrod Monahan's hands are full running the ranch, looking after his ailing grandfather, and chasing down a group of rustlers on the loose. He's pushed his longing for a family to the bottom of his list of priorities. Besides, he was in love once but ran scared and lost his shot at happiness. But suddenly, the biggest regret of his life has moved in next door with a wounded heart, determined to become a spinster . . . and that's a challenge that Jarrod can't pass up.

Jarrod sets his mind to breaking down the walls around Cassidy's stubborn heart. How can he show her that a cowboy's kiss lasts forever? For the good folks of Wishing Springs, falling in love has never been so much fun to witness.

My Opinion

There is nothing like curling up with a super sweet romance novel by the fireplace and loving every  minute of the book as you read. That is what I experienced with Kissed by a Cowboy. I loved the humor that Debra Clopton writes with, love the super sweet and romantic story line and, of course, you can't lose with a cowboy coming to the rescue! :)
