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:

Stay With Me

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 :)

First Line Friday: Courting Mr. Emerson

Happy Friday Everyone :) Since it is Friday, I'll once again be participating in First Line Friday which is hosted by Hoarding Books . For this week, I'm going to be sharing the first line from Melody Carlson's newest book, Courting Mr. Emerson. About The Book: When the fun-loving and spontaneous artist Willow West meets buttoned-up, retired English teacher George Emerson, it's not exactly love at first sight. Though she does find the obsessive-compulsive man intriguing. Making it her mission to get him to loosen up and embrace life, she embarks on what seems like a lost cause--and finds herself falling for him in the process. A confirmed bachelor, George vacillates between irritation and attraction whenever Willow is around--which to him seems like all too often. He's not interested in expanding his horizons or making new friends; it just hurts too much when you lose them. But as the summer progresses, George feels his defenses crumbling. The quest...

First Line Friday: The Inheritance

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you're all had a great week and that you're staying safe no matter where you are. I haven't been leaving my house much lately other than for work, and because of this, I've had lots of reading time on my hands. Last year my hubby and I took a road trip that included a visit to our favorite bookstore, and we decided to each pick a book that wouldn't be our first choice. The purpose was to try and read something that still interested us, but would maybe be a bit different than what we would typically go for first. My pick ended up being The Inheritance by Michael Phillips, a book I actually ended up being quite excited about, despite never having heard of it prior. Unfortunately, it ended up sitting on my bookshelf ever since, and I'm so thankful I finally got the opportunity to pick it up and start reading it this past week. The Inheritance by Michael Phillips: About the Book: The death of the clan patriarch h...

First Line Friday simply consists of sharing the first line from the book you're currently reading, and today I'm going to be sharing from Mandi Blake's new book, which released last week.

She won’t let anyone stand in her way… until a deer runs into the road and causes her to wreck and forget almost everything.
