I absolutely love the cover of Undeniably Yours and knew I had to read it! Becky Wade is a new author to me so I didn’t know what to expect. What I found was a terrific story, loaded with characters that will steal your heart, a character that would steal you blind, suspense that will keep you flipping pages and a romance that will send your heart pounding! I must say though, for me, it was a bit slow in the beginning but once it took off I couldn’t put it down. The story dealt with some complex issues but also had a generous portion of hope and encouragement. There probably aren’t a lot of folks who’ll read this story that would be in Meg’s position but you could totally understand why Meg felt the way she did. Meg was a sweet girl with a generous heart who found her strength in the Lord. Bo was the consummate, sigh-worthy hero that you just fall in love with. Strong, gentle and honorable but not perfect. Together they were romantic dynamite! One thing I really appreciated was the way Meg consulted the Lord before making decisions, by reading His Word and praying. Something we should all be doing. I also liked how she recognized how the Lord was always watching out for her through others. It made me think of all the times the Lord sent just the right person to me at just the right time. The suspense at the end was spell-binding and kept me glued to story ‘til the last page was turned. If you enjoy a tale that has a little of everything, humor, romance, suspense and some nuggets of wisdom, then you will love Undeniably Yours!

I try not to gush about books I really like (though my followers might not agree with me on that) but I fell in love with both Meg and Bo as soon as I met them. Becky did a fantastic job of making them real to me, and I feel like I know them intimitely and would dearly love to visit their ranch.
The vivid imagery of the Texas landscape in the middle of oil country and horse ranches drew me in till I think I might even find Holley.
I loved how Becky clearly brought out how we need to rely on God, and put our trust in Him instead of others, and the fact that other characters in the novel clearly were motivated by God in that they listened and did His bidding, and how that ministered to others encouraged me to be more available with that prayer or phonecall.

They have enough flaws to make them human, but enough good to redeem them into hero and heroine. The twists and turns and misunderstandings kept me turning pages rapidly to find out what would happen next. When things got so I was angry with them for things they thought and did, I did have to distance myself for a bit, but was back to see how it would be resolved.The vivid imagery of the Texas landscape in the middle of oil country and horse ranches drew me in till I think I might even find Holley.

A sweet romance. Once you pick this one up you wish you were in Meg Cole's shoes, or not. She can buy anything she wants, but love! Guess that other side of the fence does always look greener.
Bo Porter's first meeting with her, is a life changer in more ways than one. She wants to close down her
I loved the compassion both of the main characters seemed to possess for others, especially the less fortunate. Also enjoyed the fact that the both have a great love for The Lord! Who does turn up in interesting places!
Can you imagine walking in the world of the upper elite? How would you fit in? Bo seems to do a fairly good job. We see him judged, a bit unfairly. There is also some evil lurking about, and maybe the end of some of these individuals. Enjoy going to country music dances and elegant formal dinners.
This is one of those books you can't wait to read the next book in the series. Don't miss the first one!

reviewed Undeniably Yours by Becky Wade, in exchange for review from Litfuse. The book was published by Bethany House.
The book starts out with Meg reminiscing over her father. She does not want to be an oil tycoon. Her father, William just died. Meg never expected to be in this position. She does
The first few pages are very descriptive. It does move kind of slow at first. Yet, the character is in grief, under stress, anxious, and not feeling her new roles. Then, boom, as Meg is reflecting on the last few weeks, Bo walks back into the office and says he is not closing down the horse farm. This was a scene changer for me. The book moves from focusing solely on Meg to now putting some focus on Bo. He wants to help make decisions concerning the farm, since he invested time and energy into this venture. Meg gave Bo six months to either break even or make a decision on what to do with the farm. The farm will also stay open until Bo breaks even. After this major impetus, the book gets good-real good. Bethany House offers a great selection of books and I knew this one would be great as well.

I loved BEcky Wade's first book, My Stubborn Heart. I thought, "Now here's an author I want to read more of." I wasn't disappointed in this book. It just blew me away. For real.
Meg Cole's father has died and left her in control of Cole Oil. Immensely wealthy, Meg is desperately unhappy, suffering
Meg has endured a divorce that left her broken inside, but she is a strong believer, trusting God to take her through every difficulty. She hates Cole Oil, doesn't want to work there, but doesn't know what to do about it. She begins to trust God for this and He does give her answers.
Can Meg trust Bo? Will he be after her money? There are many questions in this book and Becky WAde answers them all and answers them well.
This book ministered to me on many levels. There are, I believe, several allegories here. First of all,what I love most about Wade's writing is that she gives a large portion of her writing to the goodness and faithfulness of God. This is not just a swear free, sex free 'nice' book. This is true Christian fiction, giving God first place, which He deserves.
There is romance and what a romance. I've never felt the depth of love in a book the way I did here between Meg and Bo. And it wasn't dirty. You CAN find that in a book. I applaud Becky Wade for this if nothing else. But she writes so strongly of God's love and faithfulness, how He provides strength through others when we need it.
This was an amazing book and one I'll be poud to display on my book shelves. I wish she'd write faster. This is not a book you can finish, put down, and immediately pick up another book to read. No, you want to dwell on it, savor it and think of it long after you close the pages.
If you do not read this book, you will miss out on an experience that you'll never forget.

just a storyline. Bo has a sense of venerability; he thinks about Meg, and it is more than just “thinking” about her, but about her needs. Such a sweet love story, and so romantic. There is just enough drama in the book to hold your attention, but a lot more love than just what develops in a typical “romance”, especially when Meg’s sociopathic ex-husband was added. The story is great for anyone! I would highly recommend especially if you are into contemporary romances like me. Now the wait for the continuing series. Show Less

Becky Wade has written an engaging contemporary romance in Undeniably Yours. With complex characters, interesting plot twists and a definite swoon-worthy attraction between the two mains, this is a not to be missed novel for romance fans.

Cole and Meg are opposites that definitely attract. Cowboy and countess, they do share a faith in the God who controls all aspects of their lives. Their dependence on prayer and scripture is a great elements in Undeniably Yours. And while true love is never easy or without setbacks, their love and faith endure. Mostly a straight romance, fast-paced suspense adds excitement at the end of the book.

I love Becky Wade's book intros. They are sweet, memorable and expertly catch my interest. Like My Stubborn Heart (Wade's previous book), Undeniably Yours had a great hook that caught and held my attention. I enjoyed how the author took a blossoming romance and made it so much more than two people falling for each other. There were clear spiritual themes about trusting God, finding God's will, and reaching out to others. The plot had some twists and turns that gave a refreshing originality to the story. Some things I saw coming, some things were unexpected. I like that. Overall, I would recommend this book to fans of Christian romance, but I would add that it's for late teens or older due to a particular scene. (Nothing sexual, just something that some Christians may find morally questionable. Parental guidance suggested.)

If you enjoy faith based fiction then you will want to pick up a copy of Becky Wade's Undeniably Yours. This novel has a sweet love story, an eclectic cast of likable characters and a storyline that is quite compelling.
Meg Cole is an oil company heiress who is struggling to live up to family
Bo Porter is on the verge of success with the thoroughbred racehorse farm and he fights to gain the time he needs to prove to Meg that the business can be self-sustaining. Bo is kind and caring with old fashioned values. Although Bo is fairly self-confident, the lack of a college degree and the difference in their social classes keep him from pursuing a more serious relationship with Meg.
Bo and Meg's relationship begins with friendship and their feelings for one another deepen over time. A romance between them seems impossible in the beginning. Meg has very real concerns about dating an employee while Bo worries that his motives for dating her will be misinterpreted. Well meaning interference from a relative and trust issues soon jeopardize their fragile relationship.
Undeniably Yours is a beautifully written romance with a well-developed cast of characters. The storyline is unique and realistic. Although there is strong religious content, it is never preachy. This delightful first installment of the Porter Family series is a wonderfully angst-free novel that old and new fans of Becky Wade are sure to enjoy.
