Falling For You Review

Book Reviews 4 Minutes

Finishing a novel by Becky Wade is the essence of also feeling every possible human emotion at the same time. I am equally surprised each time that the last book is always my favorite. I was excited when I received the ARC for “Falling For You”! Could it be possible she could out perform my expectations, AGAIN? In this novel, she is a quadruple “U” threat.

Unmatched humor

Unparalleled story lines

Unexpected suspense

Unadulterated Hope

This book has plenty of what I call “Wade Moments”, because the humor or the pointed truth on the page is uniquely her own (another “U”).

Let’s start with the cover. I, like you, saw the cover when it was released. However, that was nothing compared to seeing it for the first time, and having it in your hands! The picture is gorgeous and captivating, and is a perfect choice for Willow Bradford’s journey. Her journey is one of forgiveness, redemption, letting go, and what it means to live life in the “messy”. “Falling For You” has twists and turns that left my mind racing almost as fast as I could turn the pages. The complex, yet beautifully woven story lines elicited visceral responses as I read. And somehow, somewhere along the way, it stopped being about just Willow’s story, it’s your story and my story. The book beautifully addresses real emotions and challenges as they unearth old pain that is like a seeping wound left untreated.

A gifted writer, Wade continues to grow and stretch herself with the publication of each novel. I enjoyed the heavier thread of suspense in this latest novel and found she weaves it beautifully into Willow and Corbin’s story. The novella (Then Came You) as well as the first novel in this series (True To You) had their own jaw dropping moments —but “Falling For You” provides distractions with other story lines so that the climatic event of the story caught me completely off guard.

Perhaps the best aspect of this novel is the growth of the characters. I found myself on a healing journey of my own, and most certainly enjoyed the journey of both Willow and Corbin.   Absolute truths like forgiveness and redemption are beautifully woven into a fictional world with non-fiction issues.

You may shed some tears (I did!), but have no fear; there is plenty of humor! Rare are novels that produce legitimate laugh out loud moments and inside jokes amongst friends. Wade’s ability to introduce humor into her novels is really something special. Finally, the last page comes WAY too soon and I was left salivating for the NEXT novel! Watch out for another award for this beautiful story! This is a MUST READ!

Falling for You
(A Bradford Sisters Romance #2)
By Becky Wade
Inspirational Contemporary Romance
Paperback & ebook, 368 pages
May 1st 2018 by Bethany House Publishers

Famously beautiful model Willow Bradford is taking a temporary break from her hectic schedule to work as the innkeeper at her family’s small-town bed-and-breakfast. She was enjoying the peace of her hometown, Merryweather, Washington, right up until she came face-to-face with Corbin Stewart, the man she loves to hate. A thoughtful rule-follower by nature, Willow threw caution to the wind four years ago when she entrusted her heart to Corbin–and suffered the consequences when it all fell apart.

Former NFL quarterback Corbin is forceful, charming, and accustomed to getting what he wants . . . except where Willow Bradford is concerned. Unable to forget her, he’s never stopped regretting what happened between them. When their paths unexpectedly cross again, he’s determined to make her give him a second chance.

When a decades-old missing persons case finds Corbin and Willow working together, they’re forced to confront their past and who they’ve become–and whether they can risk falling for one another all over again.

Published by Amy Watson

I am a Florida girl who loves a simple life, Jesus, family, friends, football and the beach (usually in that order). While being introduced for a speaking opportunity a few years ago, the pastor asked me "who are you?". The words that followed shocked even me: "I am the precious daughter of the most high God". There were many years when I would not have answered that question as I did that day. I have spent most of my life defining myself by all that I have survived; all that I have accomplished or all the degrees on my wall. The truth is, my answer to that pastor's question that day is the definition that is most important, and one that I hope truly defines my life when I am gone. The rest: survival, accomplishments, and college degrees are certainly a part of my story; and why I write, mentor and speak. My description of "who I am" that day is why I stand proclaiming Him and Him alone. As a survivor of a lot of things that tried to kill me, it is my desire to use my story to spread a story of Hope for any who may find themselves in similar situations as mine. If this story is interesting to you, sign up to receive an email, you will get notified when I add a chapter. It's a crazy story and one that only God could redeem.
