When Megan Cole's oil tycoon father dies unexpectedly, she suddenly finds herself at the helm of his company and his holdings. His holdings include not only the multi-million dollar Cole Oil, but also a horse farm on the family's ranch. As Meg tries to navigate the life of a corporate business woman, she wants to unload some of the holdings. Unfortunately for Bo Porter, one of the holdings she wants to unload is the horse farm. Bo convinces Meg to give him six months to get the farm out of debt before she sells it. During the six months, Bo and Meg fight an attraction to each other that neither feels can go anywhere. Yet when Meg's past suddenly arrives, she finds that a future with Bo is a lot more attractive than the demons of her past. Will they figure out what it is that God has in store for them? And will Meg find her place in her father's oil world?
This is the first book I've read by Becky Wade, though I have her debut novel on my Kindle. I just hadn't gotten around to reading it yet. This book hit me while I was in a mood of not really wanting to read. The last few books I'd read had been pretty deep, so I wanted something light and fun. This book met that goal. First of all the cover of the book alludes to fun. I found the characters to be delightful. Meg's a rich girl but isn't a spoiled brat. She has for the past several years lived on a very modest salary. She's also got an almost country girl simplicity to her. Bo is every inch the cowboy. He works and manages a horse farm. He seems to be more at home in a pair of dirty jeans and boots than a business suit. Yet for all his country boy charm, he is also fiercely protective of those he loves, including Meg. I loved seeing how he was willing to fight for the time to prove to Meg that the farm was a good investment. Some of the secondary characters were sweet as well.
For me, this was a perfect relaxing, fun book that I didn't have to think while reading.
I received this book for free from Bethany House for the purpose of reviewing. My thoughts and opinions are my own.
Recommend to fans of chick lit, contemporary romance, Karen Witemeyer, Robin Jones Gunn

Great review Dawn! I'm reading this right now and I completely agree. It's a fun, light read that instantly drew me in. Meg and Bo are so likeable and I'm really enjoying their story.
ReplyDeleteThanks Liz!
DeleteLoved this novel, Dawn! It was way fun and enjoyable. Hope you can read 'My Stubborn Heart' soon. It's probably more emotionally impacting than UY though both are jewels. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you bunches for the blog follow, Dawn! Appreciate that - hope you enjoyed the visit. Stop in anytime. :)
My Stubborn Heart is on my reading list. I just need to find time to read it.
DeleteThank you so much, Dawn, for taking the time to read and review Undeniably Yours! I think you pegged the book very well with your review. It *IS* (I hope) a fun summer read, emotional, yet funny and heartwarming, too. 'HEAVY' just isn't my thing. I'm much more interested in romance..... :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by Becky. The last two books I'd read were Wings of Glass and Widow of Gettysburg. Both of those actually made me think while I was reading them. This one, I was able to escape without having to think.
