True to You
by Becky Wade
I first came across this book when another blogger posted her review for it. It sounded like something I would enjoy and I was right. True to You by Becky Wade is a sweet, heart-breaking and gut-wrenching story about two unlikely people falling in love. BUT it is more than that. I honestly don’t know how to describe it! It’s a beautiful story about redemption and acceptance.
The book opens with Nora Bradford playing a hostage with her sister at John Lawson’s security firm. This meet-cute is everything! I loved it. There’s the appropriate amount of swooning from the girl and the intrigue from the guy. It’s perfect. Nora accepts she’ll probably never see this man again, but he does reach out for other reasons and the story evolves from there.
Nora is a quirky librarian and owner of the historical village in her small hometown. She’s passionate with her work, but keeps her heart close. She’s been hurt before and doesn’t plan to let that happen again. When John asks her for his help in finding his birth family, she dives into the project. She loves genealogy and research, but she also finds herself falling for the former Navy SEAL.
John Lawson is a strong male lead that I fell in love with as Nora did. He has never wanted to know about his birth family. He loves his adoptive parents, but when he is diagnosed with a genetic condition he decides he needs to know. It’s the reason he tells himself he sought out Nora. Afterall he has a girlfriend and he is not the cheating type, neither is Nora.
This story is all about the plot twists. One I expected and may have even rolled my eyes at. But the other?! It blew me away! I cried so hard for these characters, and guys it’s been a long time since a book made me cry. Oh but Nora and John do!
Overall I really enjoyed Nora and John’s romance. It’s heart-breaking, but the author writes it beautifully. I couldn’t sit it down. I read and re-read passages. And the blend of Christianity into the story and the heart of the characters was perfect. I highly recommend you grab a box of tissues and read this one ASAP.
