True to You-Book Review

Nora Bradford is a single older woman who works at a library. She loves genealogy and history. She watches romantic old fashioned shows. She lives vicariously through her shows and strives to feel her lonely life with distractions that prevent her from thinking too much.

John Lawson is the hero extraordinaire who strives to live everyday like a normal person. He served and did his duty as the Navy Seal. Yet things are happening to him that are out of his control and strangely he needs a genealogist to help him locate his past.

Nora Bradford is someone I can definitely relate to. She is quirky and takes her single status to a level I did when I was single. I laughed at her humor and related to her way of dealing with life. I liked her relationship with her sisters. Her chemistry with John is amazing. I loved that he fought his attraction for her and that he saw her for her. They are so different and yet so right for each other.

I won't spoil the story but some of what was thrown at them both would challenge any relationship.  It was a good read and I definitely have my favorite parts of the story. I recommend this book. I have read other books by Becky Wade and they are all really well written.

I received a copy of this from Bethany House on Netgalley for my honest opinion and review of the story.

An Uncommon Courtship Review

To save a woman's reputation, Lord Trent does his duty by proposing marriage to her. He knows nothing about her and feels uncertain what a husband is suppose to do with a wife suddenly in his life. His home is disrupted by unruly servants and now he has a wife that encroaches his space. He struggles to find a balance with this woman he is suppose to spend the rest of his life with.

Lady Adelaide is used to being unseen and unheard. She goes about her life reading and blending in to her home life so she won't be noticed. She is suddenly given in marriage to a man who is physically in shape but has no concept of what to do with a wife. She has to learn to find herself and develop herself into a wife who no longer blends in but stands out.

Both struggle to figure out marriage to a complete stranger. They make many mistakes along the way but somehow manage to finally find a way to make it work.

This is the third book in the series and I heartily suggest you read the first two plus the novella. I love each of the characters that Kristi Ann Hunter introduces us to. I was however quite surprised this side of Lord Trent. It shows his weaknesses and gave us a inside to a more insecure Lord Trent. It was however well written with some funny and romantic moments. Now I am just wondering about Griffeth. Will he finally get his story? I received a complimentary copy of this novel on Netgalley from Bethany House for my honest review.
