ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
During her childhood in California, Becky frequently produced homemade plays starring her sisters, friends, and cousins. These plays almost always featured a heroine, a prince, and a love story with a happy ending. She's been a fan of all things romantic ever since.
Becky and her husband lived overseas in the Caribbean and Australia before settling in Dallas, Texas. It was during her years abroad that Becky's passion for reading turned into a passion for writing. She published three historical romances for the general market, put her career on hold for many years to care for her kids, and eventually returned to writing sheerly for the love of it. Her first contemporary Christian romance, My Stubborn Heart, has been named a finalist for Romance Writers of America's RITA Award. Her newest release, Undeniably Yours, is available now.
These days Becky can be found failing but trying to keep up with her housework, sweating at the gym, carting her kids around town, playing tennis, hunched over her computer, eating chocolate, or collapsed on the sofa watching TV with her husband.
ABOUT THE BOOK
When Meg Cole's father dies unexpectedly, she becomes the majority shareholder of his oil company and the single inheritor of his fortune. Though Meg is soft-spoken and tenderhearted--more interested in art than in oil--she's forced to return home to Texas and to Whispering Creek Ranch to take up the reins of her father's empire.
The last thing she has the patience or the sanity to deal with? Her father's thoroughbred racehorse farm. She gives its manager, Bo Porter, six months to close the place down.
Bo's determined to resent the woman who's decided to rob him of his dream. But instead of anger, Meg evokes within him a profound desire to protect. The more time he spends with her, the more he longs to overcome every obstacle that separates them--her wealth, his unworthiness, her family's outrage--and earn the right to love her.
But just when Meg begins to realize that Bo might be the one thing on the ranch worth keeping, their fragile bond is viciously broken by a force from Meg's past. Can their love--and their belief that God can work through every circumstance--survive?

My Review: I hate westerns, because they are all the same to me. Cowboys work hard in the field, while they fall in love with a girl that would rather have hot tubs and servants. However this book is not like that at all, well sometimes the cowboy comes through, as well as meg fitting into some of these characteristics.
The book is also about doing what you think is right rather than just doing what people tell you to. I like that Meg didn't want the horse farm, so she gave it to Bo, who has 6 months to close it down. There was also the way Bo adored Meg and even though Meg is rich and Bo is her help, he loves her and not her money. Society had other plans. There were a lot of obstacles for their love, where will they live? Rich vs Poor? city vs country?
In the end you have to follow your heart and and faith that everything will work out as it should. But how long should you have faith before giving up?
I really liked this book, and it is a great book for people that dislike westerns, but like romance. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review by CFBA, however all opinions are my own!
