Famously beautiful model Willow Bradford is taking a temporary break from her hectic schedule to work as the innkeeper at her family’s small-town bed-and-breakfast. She was enjoying the peace of her hometown, Merryweather, Washington, right up until she came face-to-face with Corbin Stewart, the man she loves to hate. A thoughtful rule-follower by nature, Willow threw caution to the wind four years ago when she entrusted her heart to Corbin–and suffered the consequences when it all fell apart.

Former NFL quarterback Corbin is forceful, charming, and accustomed to getting what he wants . . . except where Willow Bradford is concerned. Unable to forget her, he’s never stopped regretting what happened between them. When their paths unexpectedly cross again, he’s determined to make her give him a second chance.

When a decades-old missing persons case finds Corbin and Willow working together, they’re forced to confront their past and who they’ve become–and whether they can risk falling for one another all over again.

my point of view:

I was so excited to have won this book in a giveaway, as I had never read anything by Becky Wade, but see her being talked about all over on Christian Fiction groups! Finally, I get the chance to read one of her books, yay! I was certainly not disappointed! I found her writing to be absolutely wonderful!

This story has a little bit of everything, a second chance at love, after a disastrous past relationship between the two main characters, a suspenseful mystery that had me going to the very end……a couple of side characters that are noteworthy on their own as well. I loved the sense of humor that Corbin has – right up my alley, and Willow is adorable with her kitchen shopping obsession (I would be too, if I had model money, lol)!

I could appreciate Willow’s attempt to completely ignore Corbin even while having agreed to work on a project together for his niece…and Corbin’s persistence that he would win Willow’s heart once again was so touching! Both characters had me near tears – and laughing out loud.

The journey these characters take is well worth the read – once the main characters learn how to rely on God to deal with not only their past hurts and forgiveness, but their future together makes this story extra special for me. I was a little sad to say goodbye to them when the story ended. I hope you all get a chance to read this fabulous Bradford Sisters story for yourself!
