Back Cover
When Meg Cole’s father dies unexpectedly, she’s forced to return home to Texas and to Whispering Creek Ranch to take up the reins of his empire. 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 knows he ought to resent the woman who’s determined to take from him the only job he ever wanted. 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 and earn her love.
Just when Meg realizes she can no longer deny the depth of her feelings for Bo, their fragile bond is broken by a force from Meg’s past. Can their relationship—and their belief that God can work through every circumstance—survive?
Review
I loved this book. I mean, I LOVED this book! I breezed through this 378 page novel like nobody’s business. I just couldn’t get enough!
Where to begin? The story was lovely and flowed very smoothly. The characters were downright awesome and the dialogue was fabulously witty and sweet at all the right moments. Bo Porter is the honourable knight in shining armour that every girl dreams about and Meg Cole is your typical girl who is trying to find her way, or calling, in life, and dealing with some insecurities along the way. What I loved about Meg though, was even through her insecurities, she was ready to “take the bull by the horns” and work through everything. She steps into her father’s shoes to run a huge and prosperous oil company; she didn’t back down and was willing to give everything a “try”.
And even after having a disastrous previous relationship, Meg was even willing to give Bo, a chance. Their relationship starts out small before finally exploding into something so much more, like a slow burn that sparks into a wildfire. The romantic tension between the two is shiver-inducing and mind-spinning (and yes - it's a clean romance!). It is easily one of the best romantic novels I’ve read in a long time and will be going on my “favourites” list.
All in all, a fabulous read, by a great and up-and-coming author, Becky Wade. I’m so happy to see that this is the beginning of a new series. Already can’t wait for the next novel!!
