Book: Meant to Be Mine


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?

Now this was a fun read!  Made better because of the fact that the first part of the book was set in my in-laws hometown so I could really picture it.

I always wonder about those Vegas weddings and this story takes an interesting spin on one.

I do appreciate the way the author draws out the relationships in the story too.  Some characters don't get much development, but not here.  The mother's love that Celia has and the way she is a mother ring true.

Purchase your own copy here and read other reviews here. This is also apparently the second in a series, but you'd never know it and it doesn't lack for detail like some other sequels do if you read them out of order.


Becky Wade makes her home in Dallas, Texas with her husband, three children, and one adoring (and adored) cavalier spaniel. Her CBA debut, My Stubborn Heart, was a finalist in both the RITA and INSPY awards. Undeniably Yours kicked off her Texas-set Porter Family series. Her newest contemporary romance, Meant to Be Mine, has just hit shelves!


I received this book from LitFuse Publicity in exchange for my fair and honest review.
