A Love Like Ours (Bethany House, May 2015)
Former Marine Jake Porter has far deeper scars than the one that marks his face. He struggles with symptoms of PTSD, lives a solitary life, and avoids relationships.
When Lyndie James, Jake’s childhood best friend, lands back in Holley, Texas, Jake cautiously hires her to exercise his Thoroughbreds. Lyndie is tender-hearted, fiercely determined, and afraid of nothing, just like she was as a child. Jake pairs her with Silver Leaf, a horse full of promise but lacking in results, hoping she can solve the mystery of the stallion’s reluctance to run.
Though Jake and Lyndie have grown into very different adults, the bond that existed during their childhood still ties them together. Against Jake’s will, Lyndie’s sparkling, optimistic personality begins to tear down the walls he’s built around his heart. A glimmer of the hope he’d thought he’d lost returns, but fears and regrets still plague him. Will Jake ever be able to love Lyndie like she deserves, or is his heart too shattered to mend?

My Review:
I love all of Becky Wade's stories. She is such a great storyteller. Everything is so vivid and realistic... the characters, the setting, the story line. It usually seems that the man in the story is the one who is trying to get to a woman's heart. She has usually been hurt and damaged from the past and he has to win her over. This story is kind of the opposite. Lyndie has to get to Jake's heart.
I love stories in this genre because they are romantic and yet not anywhere close to trashy. They are hopeful and leave you feeling positive after you put the book down. These are my kind of romantic books and I love reading them all!
I recieved this book for free in exchange for my honest opinion.
