Undeniably Yours (A Porter Family Novel, Book 1) By Becky Wade

From Back Cover:  When Meg Cole's father dies unexpectedly, she's forced to return home to Texas and to Whispering Creek Ranch to take up the reins of his empire. The last thing she has the patience or the sanity to deal with? Her father's Thoroughbred racehorse farm. She gives its manager, Bo Porter, six months to close the place down.

Bo knows he ought to resent the woman who's determined to take from him the only job he ever wanted. But instead of anger, Meg evokes within him a profound desire to protect. The more time he spends with her, the more he longs to overcome every obstacle that separates them and earn her love.

Just when Meg realizes she can no longer deny the depth of her feelings for Bo, their fragile bond is broken by a force from Meg's past. Can their relationship--and their belief that God can work through every circumstance--survive?

I started off liking this story and it only got better from there!  The characters are wonderful, their struggles and fears realistic and the romance was sweet and the cherry on top was the way the novel pointed to a deep, abiding trust in the One Who is always with you!  Add a dash of suspense and some laughs and you have a well rounded novel.

I loved how Wade had Bo exemplify several Christlike characteristics throughout the novel and tied it all in, having Meg realize in the story that it was Christ in him that was part of the huge pull and peace she felt with him.

I really look forward to reading more in the Porter Family Series!
