Do opposites really attract? John and Nora might just be the perfect match. Find out in True to You, book one in Becky Wade’s new series! Genealogist and historical village owner Nora Bradford has decided that burying her nose in her work and her books is far safer than romance in the here and now. Former Navy SEAL and Medal of Honor recipient John Lawson is a modern-day man, usually 100 percent focused on the present. But when he’s diagnosed with an inherited condition, he’s forced to dig into the secrets of his past and his adoption as an infant, enlisting Nora to help him uncover the identity of his birth mother. Finding the answers they’re seeking will test the limits of their identity, their faith, and their devotion to one another.

My Thoughts

I have long been a Becky Wade fan. That said, long time readers will notice that this is a very different style from our beloved Porter series. But, what is consistent is Becky’s trademark romance and solid story line. What is different in this story is how long the main characters fight their attraction. While sometimes this can be frustrating in a story,  Becky does a great job of progressing the romance and tension, as well as giving us a realistic perspective on two people falling in love but trying not to; they have real struggles, real problems, real feelings. I loved this aspect of the book as so often the feelings of attraction that we struggle with in real life relationships is glossed over in Christian romance. I wish I could visit Mayfair, but since it’s unfortunately make believe, I’ll have to settle with adding all of Washington to my travel list.

As a lover of history, frequent researcher, and adoption advocate, this story line contains many elements that I thoroughly enjoyed. I think many readers will be able to relate to John’s search for his birth parents or Nora’s introverted book loving, generous nature. There’s also a fun quiz that Bethany House has put together to see which Becky Wade heroine you are most like. I got Willow; I’ll take the supermodel!

I can’t wait to read Willow’s and Britt’s story.
