Another author first for me! And again another great book to add to a summer beach read list! Here goes the review~
Undeniably Yours by Becky Wade
Well, this book was great. I am super impressed with all of the material I have been reading lately by some really awesome authors, and Becky Wade has shown through her newest novel that she is definitely included in that statement!
The story starts with a young woman named Meg Cole whose father died unexpectedly, thus, making her a major shareholder of his oil company and sole inheritor of his fortune.
What I loved about Meg was how relate-able she was. Even though I personally can't relate to all of the blessings she grew up in concerning her wealth, she really was like any other girl. She's soft-spoken, tenderhearted and interested in art!
Meg has to move back to Texas and to Whispering Creek Ranch to take up the reins of her father's empire. This situation I feel makes Meg approachable for the reader because she knows that she doesn't have it all together, even if she would love to think she did. She stresses out like any other over-worked woman and because of this it adds another appealing characteristic that personally made me love Meg.
She also inherited her father's thoroughbred racehorse farm. She gives its manager, Bo Porter, six months to close the place down. Bo Porter (being the determined man that he is) decides that he will resent the woman who has decided to rob him of his dream. But we all know when it comes to ways of the heart that mindset will soon soften. Instead of anger, Meg evokes within him a profound desire to protect, and the more time he spends with her the more he longs to be with her. It's not a walk in the park for these two concerning their relationship. Many obstacles stand in their way of unity- her wealth, his unworthiness, her family's outrage, but all these hurdles just make Bo more motivated to earn the right to love Meg.
Who doesn't love a guy like that? I for one was team Bo! Go Bo! Bo is my Hero~ [like my chant?]
Yet, just when Meg begins to realize that Bo might be the one thing on the ranch worth keeping, their fragile bond is viciously broken by a force from Meg's past! Which by the way, I did not see coming! So I will not be a spoiler and tell you what it is, but must recommend you read and find out!!
All of this becomes the biggest test for Meg and Bo! Can their love- and their belief that God can work through every circumstance-survive?
Another great point about this book I would love to add is this book actually helped me get over some personal issues (which is
weird to think). Still, through reading of how Meg worked through her own issues on forgiveness of others and her overflowing
hospitality for other people gave me another perspective. All of which was similar to things that I struggle with, and it was just a great reminder how to just
think over and consider.
Sadly, every book has a last page, and after every great book I am always sad to say goodbye. All the characters that I come to love and feel I know personally makes me wish the pages were endless. I can excitedly say I found out this the first book of the Porter family series! Woohoo! That means probably snippets of characters that I attached to and new stories of that will make me attached to others characters that I will read about in the near future.
This is a major recommend for summer! It's perfect! Add it to your book bag~
