Falling for You by Becky Wade
5.0

I received an eARC of this book via Netgalley. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of this review.

While I loved [b:True to You|32497077|True to You (A Bradford Sisters Romance, #1)|Becky Wade|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1476713060s/32497077.jpg|53089105], the first book in A Bradford Sisters Romance, I adored Falling for You by Becky Wade. Willow and Corbin’s romance is not one I’d expected to like. It is a second-chance story about forgiveness, not of the other person but of yourself. It’s a hard pill to swallow but one Wade brings to life in a realistic and heart-aching way.

Willow is the eldest and seemingly perfect Bradford sister. She is home for the season to run her parents’ bed and breakfast while they take a much needed vacation. Willow is a driven, independent person. She has the typical first-born genes running through her and a stubborn streak. I loved her!

Corbin is a former NFL player, currently in rehab for his damaged shoulder. He relocated to Willow’s small town, not for her though it may have crossed his mind 😉 No it was for the stellar physical therapist and his declining father who needed a stable home. Corbin’s character is not what Willow remembers. He is a very different person so when life brings them back together Willow is skeptical to trust the front he shows in her presence.

While this story revolves around Willow and Corbin, it also focuses on Charlotte Dixon’s search for her great-aunt who went missing years earlier. She enlists Corbin and Willow’s help, forcing them to interact. I loved the mystery surround the disappearance and their investigation into it. But I perhaps loved what it revealed about Willow and Corbin. This isn’t a very light read. It deals with some heavy truths that Willow must accept about herself before she can enter into a relationship again.

Overall I loved Falling for You. Becky Wade‘s ability to pull at my heart-strings is a masterful. Willow and Corbin broke my heart and mended it all in one little book. If you enjoy second-chance romance with a Christian theme, I highly recommend it.
