Rich heiress falls for horse rancher. ( )

If you enjoy faith based fiction then you will want to pick up a copy of Becky Wade's Undeniably Yours. This novel has a sweet love story, an eclectic cast of likable characters and a storyline that is quite compelling.

Meg Cole is an oil company heiress who is struggling to live up to family expectations of running her late father's company. Meg has never felt comfortable with her family's wealth and until her father's death, she lived a simple low key life. She is uncomfortable and out of her depth with her new role in the family business and her growing unhappiness leads to a resurgence of her anxiety and panic attacks. Emotionally scarred by her past, Meg steers clears of romantic entanglements.

Bo Porter is on the verge of success with the thoroughbred racehorse farm and he fights to gain the time he needs to prove to Meg that the business can be self-sustaining. Bo is kind and caring with old fashioned values. Although Bo is fairly self-confident, the lack of a college degree and the difference in their social classes keep him from pursuing a more serious relationship with Meg.

Bo and Meg's relationship begins with friendship and their feelings for one another deepen over time. A romance between them seems impossible in the beginning. Meg has very real concerns about dating an employee while Bo worries that his motives for dating her will be misinterpreted. Well meaning interference from a relative and trust issues soon jeopardize their fragile relationship.

Undeniably Yours is a beautifully written romance with a well-developed cast of characters. The storyline is unique and realistic. Although there is strong religious content, it is never preachy. This delightful first installment of the Porter Family series is a wonderfully angst-free novel that old and new fans of Becky Wade are sure to enjoy.

Meg returns home to sell her late father’s ranch, but rethinks her decision after meeting Bo, the ranch’s manager. As her feelings for Bo grow, she is forced to face painful memories from her past.

This is one of the few books I wanted to read a second time. When I realized Undeniably Yours was part of the Porter Family, it had been awhile since I had read it. The first time reading it I gave it a rating of 4, because there is no 4.5 rating. After rereading it and going on to book 2 and 3 of the series, i had to change my rating to a 5. I feel in love with both Bo and Meg and wanted so much for everything to work out for them. I stayed up half the night to finish it, I couldn't put it down. Way to go Becky, and thank you for writing clean, Christian love stories that we can enjoy, a true fan. ( )

For someone who really doesn't "do" outdoors and especially stays as far away from all things farm-ish as she can get, I simply adore cowboys. Well, books about cowboys anyway. Undeniably Yours is one such book, and Bo Porter is one such cowboy. :) Do you see that grin? That was the grin that was firmly stuck on my face through most of this book! I loved just about everything in this story - Meg, Bo, Meg & Bo together. The tissues that Bo always had handy? *dreamy sigh* The conversations Meg & Bo had with just their eyes? *another dreamy sigh*

I really identified with Meg in a lot of ways, though sadly not the part about being independently wealthy lol. But the panic attacks? Yeah, been there. Lived that. I liked that Meg had God has her coping mechanism but she also had other things to distract her and get her through the attacks - because sometimes, the chemicals in your brain need some help. Sometimes, God and modern medicine get to work together.

My favorite scene: Meg & Bo babysitting Jayden. HILARIOUS! I giggled literally out loud at several points throughout those particular pages. Could really picture those scenarios going on in my mind as I read.

I also enjoyed Becky Wade's writing style - humorous, witty dialogue peppered with heartfelt scenes of faith that weren't too sappy or overdone. (You know what I'm talking about.) And boy oh boy can she write some good kisses! :-D

The only things that keep me from giving Undeniably Yours 5 stars are incredibly minor and don't bear mentioning. I so wish goodreads allowed halvsies because I give this book 4.5 out of 5 stars! ( )
