Falling for You
(A Bradford Sisters Romance #2)
By Becky Wade
Inspirational Contemporary Romance
Paperback & ebook, 368 pages
May 1st 2018 by Bethany House Publishers
Famously beautiful model Willow Bradford is taking a temporary break from her hectic schedule to work as the innkeeper at her family’s small-town bed-and-breakfast. She was enjoying the peace of her hometown, Merryweather, Washington, right up until she came face-to-face with Corbin Stewart, the man she loves to hate. A thoughtful rule-follower by nature, Willow threw caution to the wind four years ago when she entrusted her heart to Corbin–and suffered the consequences when it all fell apart.
Former NFL quarterback Corbin is forceful, charming, and accustomed to getting what he wants . . . except where Willow Bradford is concerned. Unable to forget her, he’s never stopped regretting what happened between them. When their paths unexpectedly cross again, he’s determined to make her give him a second chance.
When a decades-old missing persons case finds Corbin and Willow working together, they’re forced to confront their past and who they’ve become–and whether they can risk falling for one another all over again.
Review: It’s not often that a book makes me reach for Kleenex but this one did. But I won’t give any spoilers as to why!
First, let’s start out with some quotes from our hero and heroine. I marked these because they capture the essence of the relationship between them that is constantly at odds. Plus, one of the lines displays the beauty of Wade’s writing.
“He studied her. ‘Four years have passed, and you still hate me,’ he said.” – Corbin
“But like the pea in the Princess and the Pea fairy tale, Corbin continued to bother her. He wouldn’t go away. He wouldn’t let her relax. The mattresses upon mattresses she’d stacked between her heart and his memory weren’t doing the trick.” – Willow
From the beginning of the book Corbin and Willow were always butting heads (there’s just no nice way to say it), making you wonder how they could ever reconcile. But as the two spent more time together, their past relationship was slowly unveiled igniting sympathy towards both of them. Some hard issues were discussed in regards to their relationship and Wade did a fabulous job of weaving the descriptions throughout and heightening the emotional pull you felt towards Corbin and Willow.
My two favorite scenes in the book (no spoilers here!) were when Corbin and Willow “have it out” in the entryway of her home. I could just feel the agony of both during that scene! Heart pounding! The second favorite scene happened during a talk Corbin had with his dad. Oh man! I got teary-eyed during that one. Wade definitely knows how to build a scene and escalate the emotions to where you, as a reader, are sucked in and feel like you’re observing the characters first-hand.
The theme of reconciliation is woven throughout the story line giving us all a reminder that we should reconcile with those we love. After all, it’s what Jesus did for us.
