Undeniably Yours: A Review


I have read other books by Becky Wade and this latest book is great!  Meg is the only daughter of a big oil executive.  This timid and yet courageous lady is such a great character to cheer for.  She has wanted her own identity apart from the wealthy family.  Meg is thrown into a position of CEO of a big oil company in Texas.  She knows nothing about oil and even less about a Thoroughbred farm she inherits. A terrifying experience as a child has left her afraid of horseback riding. What would she want with a horse farm?  She fires the horse farm manager & closes the farm.  Well tries to...

Bo has spent the last 4 years managing the horse farm.  His first meeting with Meg is when she tries to fire him.  Bo hears God speak to his heart that this lady needs a friend.  A friendship that starts from a firing?  Stranger things have happened.

This book really shows the power of God's grace & forgiveness.  Meg struggles with trusting anyone.  Her heart has been bruised before by people who only want her for her money.   When the evidence is in who can she trust with her heart?   I like how the author wove a story that has a struggling, single mother, wealthy oil lady, former soldier, computer geek and a stoic gardener with a good heart into a heartwarming love story.

I was given this book by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.  All opinions are my own.

Secretly Smitten: A Review

I have previously read the first book in the Smitten series.  This is the second book in the Smitten Series.  These books are written by some of my favorite christian authors. What happens when you get Colleen Coble, Kristin Billerbeck, Diann Hunt & Denise Hunter to work together to weave a story of love, loss & redemption?  This is a  sweet book that showcases each authors strength & diversity.

A pair of dog tags is found in the attic that belonged to a lost love.  We meet the Thomas woman in this book. The owner of the dog tags and these women have a past & a future that is fun to discover. These ladies get together every Sunday afternoon for a potluck.  The menu is a bit unusual but so is this family.  The grandma's name is Rose and her sisters are named Violet & Petunia.  The settings of these stories range from a yarn store to a dating service to a plant nursery to a ice cream company. & a  bookstore.

My only complaint would be that the stories were short but that is a novella.  I can't wait for the next installment to see how this former logging town turned romance capital changes hearts... visit the town of smitten if you need a sweet dose of romance.
