If you were
to ask me what my favorite book of 2014 has been so far, I would have a quick
and emphatic reply. Meant To Be Mine by Becky Wade. It has everything a good
book is made of. Surprising plot twists,
heart-stopping romance, and a handsome hero sure to win any reader’s heart!
With laugh out loud moments mingling with scenes guaranteed to elicit sighs and
tears, I enjoyed every moment of this engrossing novel. Becky Wade has a fresh
and clever writing style, using similes and metaphors to bring out details
otherwise missed. And the research into bull riding provided an interesting
glimpse into a career I previously knew
little about. A perfect 5 out of 5 star
book!
Ty Porter has always been irresistible
to Celia Park. All through high school--irresistible. When their paths cross
again after college--still irresistible.
This time, though, Ty seems to feel exactly the same way about
Celia. Their whirlwind romance deposits them at a street-corner Las Vegas
wedding chapel.
The next morning they wake to a marriage certificate and a dose of cold reality. Celia's ready to be Ty's wife, but Ty's not ready to be her husband. He's a professional bull rider, he lives on the road, and he's long planned to settle down with the hometown girl he's known since childhood.
Five and a half years pass. Celia's buried her dreams so that she can afford to raise her daughter. Ty's achieved all of his goals. Or thought he had, until he looks again into the eyes of the woman he couldn't forget and into the face of the child he never knew he had.
How much will Ty sacrifice to win back Celia's trust and prove to her that their spontaneous marriage can still become the love of a lifetime?
