Let It Be Me Misty River Romance Hardcover Becky Wade

Becky Wade certainly knows how to write a romance that is so satisfying to read. The characters are so real I found myself thinking of them throughout my day, even when I wasn't able to read. I really liked Leah Montgomery, a young math genius working as a high school math teacher who has raised her brother, Dylan, since he was seven and she eighteen. One day she sees a car go off the road and goes to help. The injured man, Dr. Sebastian Grant, thinks she looks like an angel and remains enamored of her. Months later they meet again at a school function where he goes to help his friend Ben Coleman and he discovers she is the same Leah that Ben has had a crush on for two years. I really liked how the Coleman family "adopted" Sebastian. Everyone would be blessed to have friends like them. Leah has no plans for marriage or even a boyfriend. Her goal is to obtain her PhD when Dylan leaves for college. Leah's reactions to Sebastian amused me. She tries so hard to not be attracted to him. I loved their banter too. They both had a lot of issues to work through before they were free to love. The mystery that arises with Leah's DNA result had a very interesting twist at the end. Let It Be Me is one of those books that I could hardly wait to read, and loved reading, but left me feeling a little bereft when I finished because it was over. Perhaps I'll have to read it again. I highly recommend Let It Be Me.
