About the book:
It's the exciting start of a brand-new series by a
contemporary romance fan favorite!
Unlike Nora, former Navy SEAL and Medal of Honor recipient
John Lawson is a modern-day man, usually 100 percent focused on the present.
But when he's diagnosed with an inherited condition, he's forced to dig into
the secrets of his past and his adoption as an infant, enlisting Nora to help
him uncover the identity of his birth mother.
The more time they spend together, the more this pair of
opposites suspects they just might be a perfect match. However, John's already
dating someone and Nora's not sure she's ready to trade her crushes on
fictional heroes for the risks of a real relationship. Finding the answers
they're seeking will test the limits of their identity, their faith, and their
devotion to one another.
My Thoughts:
Wow. That pretty much sums up my feelings on True to You yet another wonderful novel
from author Becky Wade, who by the way is my favorite contemporary romance novelist.
I like that all her novels are so different and do not follow a cookie cutter pattern.
First off, I was drawn to this book by the beautiful whimsical
cover. When I first heard about this
story and saw the cover reveal, I was not sure if it would be a contemporary or
a historical. It is a contemporary, but I love how this cover really captured
the character of Nora. She was a girl after my own heart: loved PBS dramas and
found herself one too many times lost in a book, hence another world. She used
big words, book words I call them that I actually understood the meanings of
and I absolutely enjoyed her personality of a sweet, somewhat bubbly go-getter.
I so understood her and her constant conversations with herself in her head. A genealogist
and librarian are just two of the hats she wears and Nora has also lived
through a childhood tragedy and most recent heartbreak from her broken
engagement with her fiancé.
Enter no nonsense John, ex-Navy Seal and Purple Heart reward
recipient. John is adopted and enlists Nora’s help to find his birth mother due
to a medical condition that only a few know about. Their first meeting gave me
the giggles and I had tears streaming from my eyes.
This was such a fun novel yet dealt with some very heavy and
serious topics. John and Nora’s developing romance was great and swoon worthy
but when the shoe dropped so to speak and secrets were revealed, well let’s
just say I was shocked with some of the revelations.
This is a great start to a series about three sisters and we
were treated briefly to Willow and Britt’s love lives as well. I look forward
to losing myself in their stories too and I know they will be just as great.
I received a copy of this book for free through Litfuse
Publicity. I was not required to post a positive review and the views and
opinions expressed are my own.
