My Thoughts:

Oh my, I loved this story!!

This is the second installment in Becky Wade's A Bradford Sisters Romance series and I believe this is my favorite so far, but then again I say that with every book. Even though this book is part of a series it's definitely a stand alone.  

This captivating story has a sweet plot that immediately pulled me into the story and I didn't want to put it down until the last page was turned.  Hence, for me this was a one setting read.  

In this story we meet Willow who is the oldest sister in the Bradford family and the one who has longed to be the perfect daughter. Willow made some decisions that she regrets and this has affected her life profoundly, especially her faith. She has come home to run the family bed and breakfast for her mom until the recently hired lodge manager arrives.  Willow believes this will give her some much needed rest from her modeling career, plus she will get to spend much needed time with her sisters and family.  

 Corbin has moved to Washington for surgery and rehab after an injury that puts his NFL career in jeopardy when he runs into Willow again.  We also get a rich backstory of how Corbin and Willow know each other and how it influences their lives when they are reunited. 

Corbin's niece, Charlotte, is concerned about the mysterious disappearance of her great aunt, Josephine Blake, and enlists Willow's help.  Willow is forced to work with Corbin in helping Charlotte search for answers, but plans to only see Corbin when necessary. Corbin has plans to use this quest as a way to get close to Willow again and prove to her that he's not the same guy she met years ago.  

  This story shows elements of second chances, romantic tension, values, beliefs, mystery, crisis of faith and love.  This is a book I would recommend to anyone. 

 

**I received this book from the publisher as part of their book bloggers program.  I was not required to write a positive review.  All thoughts an opinions are my own. 

I also want to mention that Becky Wade has written a novella that introduces this series and it is wonderful.

A leather-bound journal. A single father. A woman in pursuit of freedom.

Garner Bradford, heir to the troubled Bradford Shipping empire, doesn't know much about babies. But he's going to have to learn fast because he's just become a single father to his newborn daughter. As he confesses through his journal entries, he's not entirely sure how to keep a newborn alive, whether or not he'll ever patch together his shattered heart, or how to forgive himself for his mistakes.

Career girl Kathleen Burke is wholly uninterested in settling down. She has big dreams, and none of them include Garner and his small hometown in Washington State. Yet she can't seem to get her handsome boss out of her head or her heart. There's something extraordinarily tempting about his beautifully sad green eyes. . . . 

Told through journal entries, phone conversations, and letters, Then Came You is a unique, heart-stirring romance novella by acclaimed author Becky Wade.

Then Came You is available as a FREE e-book at Barnes & Noble, iBooks, Amazon Kindle, and Kobo. It's also available in print via Amazon and in audio via Audible.
