About the book

Loving her is a risk he can’t afford . . . and can’t resist.

When acclaimed Bible study author Genevieve Woodward receives an anonymous letter referencing her parents’ past, she returns to her hometown in the Blue Ridge mountains to chase down her family’s secret. However, it’s Genevieve’s own secret that catches up to her when Sam Turner, owner of an historic farm, uncovers the source of shame she’s worked so hard to hide.

Sam has embraced his sorrow, his isolation, and his identity as an outsider. He’s spent years carving out both career success and peace of mind. The last thing he wants is to rent the cottage on his property to a woman whose struggles stir his worst failure back to life. Yet, can he bear to turn her away right when she needs him most?

My thoughts:

This is my favorite novel penned by Becky Wade.  From beginning to end she kept me fully engaged with her amazing characters, the wonderful dialog and the secrets of the Woodward family.  I mean, we all are all flawed and we all have or had secrets, right?
  
I loved Genevie and Sam but I was more intrigued with Genevie’s parents and what their pasts would reveal and it was kind of jaw-dropping.  I am all about the juicy, jaw-dropping parts of a storyline so I really enjoyed discovering what it was.  Sam and Genevieve are both sweet, kind people who have had challenges to deal with so that is one of the reasons that I cared about them and wanted them to experience love and happiness.  

Overall, I thought this novel was artfully written with a strong message of love and forgiveness.  I loved the touch of mystery surrounding the parents, the flow of the storyline and the wonderful characters I met.  I look forward to the next book in the series. 
I received a copy of Stay with Me from the publisher.  All opinions are my own.

When baker Penelope Quinn steps in to help her brother’s family through a medical crisis, she’s forced into close proximity with charming Air Force fighter pilot Eli Price.

Penelope has one iron-clad dating rule—she does not date airmen. Months ago, she relaxed her rule with Eli and immediately lived to regret it. After a long deployment, he’s now back in Misty River and, to her dismay, she finds him just as tempting as always.

Eli’s spent months thinking about funny, feisty, creative Penelope. He once leveraged his focus and drive to become a pilot, his childhood dream. Now he's set on leveraging that same focus and drive in order to convince Penelope to give him one more chance.

This romantic prequel novella introduces readers to the quaint mountain town of Misty River and a brand-new series from Christy-winning author Becky Wade!
