ABOUT THE BOOK

A Sensational CBA Debut in Contemporary Romance!

This summer author Becky Wade makes her CBA debut with a fun — and funny — contemporary romance. Amidst the light-hearted banter and laugh-out-loud moments is a compelling spiritual journey of one woman’s choice to listen to God and wait on him. Filled with humor and authentic romance, My Stubborn Heart is shaping up to be the hit of the summer.

Kate Donovan is burned out on work, worn down by her dating relationships, and in need of an adventure. When Kate’s grandmother asks Kate to accompany her to Redbud, Pennsylvania, to restore the grand old house she grew up in, Kate jumps at the chance.

Yet, she discovers a different kind of project upon meeting the man hired to renovate the house. ;Matt Jarreau is attractive and clearly wounded — hiding from people, from God, and from his past. Kate can’t help but set her stubborn heart on bringing him out of the dark and back into the light… whether he likes it or not.

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK

This is a wonderful and enjoyable Contempory fiction that I thoroughly enjoyed. Becky Wade pens a story with characters that are so real and loveable that you will want them as your own family! I love Kate and her determination to make Matt talk to her. And Matt was just more adorable each time he tried to brush Kate off. And Matt had to let Kate’s witty attitude rub off on him, even though he tried hard not too, she really didn’t give him a choice in the matter.  I especially enjoyed seeing Matt’s stubborn attitude in not wanting to talk to Kate while painting her room. That scene as well as others was very comical!

Becky Wade deals with a lot of issues her, including lonely and bitterness. These things are very difficult to overcome, and I appreciate the way Becky merges real life with living that life trusting God. As I say with about all of the Christian fiction I write, even though it’s fiction, the principles are real, and can be used in real life situations.

I highly recommend this book to anyone liking fiction. You will not be disappointed in what you will find between the covers of this book!
