My Review:
One of the things that stood out to me the most in this book is Becky’s talent for painting a scene so incredibly well. I felt like I was on the sidewalk looking at that tacky wedding chapel with Celia and Ty. That I was standing in the parking lot when Celia and her little girl saw the car.
Becky also made the characters come alive. I really wanted to shake some sense into Ty and ask, “What in the world do you think you’re doing!?!” Sorry all you Team Ty people, I still favor Matt from My Stubborn Heart. Maybe I’m just not used to encountering smart men from good families in Christian fiction that want a divorce so they can marry a gal who strings them along. Though he is very charming and caring and generous to both Celia and her daughter.
I really enjoyed that cute little girl, getting to meet the characters from Undeniably Yours and the uniqueness of a romance where the characters are already married. Plus we get to know a little more about Jake Porter. And I’m very much looking forward to his story!
Read this if you enjoy contemporary romance with twists, cowboys and cute little girls. And great (clean, but sweep you off your feet) kisses.
Book Description:
Ty Porter has always been irresistible to Celia Park. All through high school—irresistible. When their paths cross again after college—still irresistible. This time, though, Ty seems to feel exactly the same way about Celia. Their whirlwind romance deposits them at a street-corner Las Vegas wedding chapel.

The next morning they wake to a marriage certificate and a dose of cold reality. Celia’s ready to be Ty’s wife, but Ty’s not ready to be her husband. He’s a professional bull rider, he lives on the road, and he’s long planned to settle down with the hometown girl he’s known since childhood.
Five and a half years pass. Celia’s buried her dreams so that she can afford to raise her daughter. Ty’s achieved all of his goals. Or thought he had, until he looks again into the eyes of the woman he couldn’t forget and into the face of the child he never knew he had.
How much will Ty sacrifice to win back Celia’s trust and prove to her that their spontaneous marriage can still become the love of a lifetime?
