Let It Be Me by Becky Wade Review

Hello Friends :)

I pray you're all doing well, and I want to thank you all for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess.

If you've been reading my blog for awhile, then you probably are quite aware of the fact that Becky Wade is one of my all time favorite authors.

However, I hadn't gotten around to reading her newest book release yet, and that definitely needed to change.

I'm loving the Misty River Romance series so far, and you can check out my review of the previous titles in the series using the links below:

Now let's jump right into today's review.

Let It Be Me by Becky Wade:

Source: Bought for Myself

Publisher: Bethany House

Publication Date: May 4th, 2021

Genre: Christian Fiction/Contemporary Romance

Series: Misty River Romance

Synopsis:

The one woman he wants is the one he cannot have.

Former foster kid Sebastian Grant has leveraged his intelligence and hard work to become a pediatric heart surgeon. But not even his career success can erase the void he's tried so hard to fill. Then he meets high school math teacher Leah Montgomery and his fast-spinning world comes to a sudden stop. He falls hard, only to make a devastating discovery—Leah is the woman his best friend set his heart on months before.

Leah's a math prodigy who's only ever had one big dream—to earn her PhD. Raising her little brother put that dream on hold. Now that her brother will soon be college bound, she's not going to let anything stand in her way. Especially romance . . . which is far less dependable than algebra.

When Leah receives surprising results from the DNA test she submitted to a genealogy site, she solicits Sebastian's help. Together, they comb through hospital records to uncover the secrets of her history. The more powerfully they're drawn to each other, the more strongly Sebastian must resist, and the more Leah must admit that some things in life—like love—can't be explained with numbers.

My Review:

In typical Becky Wade Fashion, Let It Be Me is a heartwarming story that will have you both laughing out loud and tearing up, and reminding yourself once again why she is truly one of the genre's best. Sebastian and Leah's story is a roller coaster, emotional ride from start to finish, and I found myself wanting to both read it as quick as possible but also to take my time and truly savor their beautiful romance.

I truly think Becky is one of the very best at writing books that feature witty banter between the characters, and many many moments had me outright laughing out loud. However, I also love that every single one of her stories highlights the importance of letting go and letting God, and this story may be one of the best authentic examples I've ever personally seen of this.

While her contemporaries always have their fluffy and swoon worthy moments, I love the fact that they always include deeper elements that are often surrounded by mysteries, and while I don't want to say too much as I don't want to give away any spoilers, I was quite surprised by one of the biggest plot twists, and it didn't end up going in the direction I expected at all.

Let It Be Me was everything I could have wanted in a story, and I can't wait to reread this one, and read the next book in the series.

Becky Wade continues to be one of my favorite authors, and I can't recommend this heart wrenching tale enough.

Final Rating: 5/5.

Thanks so much for reading guys! Have a great rest of your day :)

For this week, I'm going to be sharing the first line from Melody Carlson's newest book, Courting Mr. Emerson.
