Meg
and Bo make a *cute* couple. I think they are about the cutest book couple I
have ever read. I mean seriously. Cowboy meets millionaire heiress that could
care less about being Texas’s most eligible bachelorette and wants more to get
out of this rich lifestyle and back to her humble apartment. I could so easily
identify with Meg, she’s a simple girl put in surroundings that immediately
challenge and raise all kinds of insecurities.
Bo
is pretty close to a perfect hero. I love an observant hero and Bo knew how to
treat a lady. His mama taught him right! Sure, I like the flawed or bad-boy
book hero, but every once in a while, it’s nice to see a break in the mold and
have a genuinely good guy. The adoration almost oozed…in a good way. *wink*
The
romance is satisfying. The writing top notch. The characters so incredibly
loveable. The plot tempting me back again and again. The dialogue smooth and subplots
seamless. I loved it. So much to enjoy and sigh over and just plain love
watching unfold. Very much worth the investment of time!
This
review is my honest opinion. Thanks to the author and publishers for my copy to
influence/review.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
More about the novel...When Meg Cole’s father dies unexpectedly, she becomes the majority shareholder of his oil company and the single inheritor of his fortune. Though Meg is soft-spoken and tenderhearted–more interested i
The last thing she has the patience or the sanity to deal with? Her father’s thoroughbred racehorse farm. She gives its manager, Bo Porter, six months to close the place down.
Bo’s determined to resent the woman who’s decided to rob him of his dream. But instead of anger, Meg evokes within him a profound desire to protect. The more time he spends with her, the more he longs to overcome every obstacle that separates them–her wealth, his unworthiness, her family’s outrage–and earn the right to love her.
But 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. Can their love–and their belief that God can work through every circumstance–survive?
I have a copy of this and it's near the top of my TBR stack! Can't decide between it, A Noble Groom and Stealing the Preacher. What a delima to have. So many good books, so little time.
ReplyDeleteOhhh, you have an AMAZING top selection of your TBR! I haven't read StP yet, but A Noble Groom was Am-Az-Ing! Jody's best one yet! You can't go wrong with any of those three. :)
DeleteI loved this book, too. And oh that gorgeous cover! Becky Wade is for sure one of my author faves!
ReplyDeleteShe is amazing! I can't wait to see what she comes up with next...like another debut author I know. ;-)
DeleteI've seen this book here and there on the internet. I think it must have come up for review on The Christian Manifesto too, but I didn't request it. (I go overboard wanting to read and review them all.) Thanks so much for the review. I'll have to get my hands on it, lol.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean! Trying to get to every book out there is like trying to please everyone. Can't be done... ;-) But this one is definitely worth going out and getting!
DeleteOh my gosh, this book is amazing. I can't put it down. Just reached the 'oh so terrible moment' and I had to stop for a minute before poor Bo is unjustly accused.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for the ending!
And you read her first one right?? That one is still my favorite! I know, that was a really hard moment to push through. I wish she hadn't just jumped in and blamed him. He redeems himself pretty good though. ;-)
DeleteDoes he ever!! I just finished it. Okay, Bo is the perfect man. The perfect hero. Does such a man exist? Wow. LOVED IT!
DeleteSigh...probably not. Boys are better in books after all...at least according to pinterest. ;-)
DeleteOH. MY. GOODNESS!!! Love, Love, LOVE Becky Wade and now officially have her on auto-buy!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Case, SO MUCH, for introducing me to the "contemporary Julie Lessman"!!! Gosh, I had NO IDEA at the time just what a compliment that was to me. :)
I loved both of Becky's books, but I have to admit, I couldn't get Bo and Meg out of my mind for weeks and weeks (and STILL think about them!) because Becky Wade is just that good!!
Hugs,
Julie
Julie...I still can't get Kate and Matt out of my head after over a year since that book released. I STILL go on and on about it. And Becky is your contemp counterpart! You both write stories that work so well in your genre and do it so, so well.
