Misty River Romance, a Turn to Me, (Paperback)

Turn to Me, by Becky Wade, the third book in A Misty River Romance series, is a beautiful end to a wonderful trilogy. Like the other books in this series, this novel features a story that is heartfelt and meaningful. It is also thoughtful, clever, and redemptive. With unforgettable characters, an intriguing mystery, moments of sweet romance, and a small town setting, this book is truly compelling and a genuine pleasure to read. Ms. Wade's writing talent always seems utterly effortless. In Turn to Me, she has crafted a novel that is both touching and engaging. With sensitivity and skill, this book explores important themes such as guilt, loss, fear, and redemption. As the characters honor their promises and open their hearts to new relationships, they gradually find hope and healing are now within their reach. The story becomes especially powerful when the characters gain strength from one another and recognize the value of honesty, trust, vulnerability, and forgiveness. Faith is strengthened and hope blooms as damaged hearts become less fragile when nurtured by love and grace. Becky Wade's novels are consistently well-written and entertaining. Turn to Me is another worthy book that is thought-provoking and emotionally-stirring. Page after page, it offers a captivating plot, endearing characters, and relevant themes. I recommend this novel wholeheartedly. *I was given a copy of this book by the publisher. A review was not required.

'He'd never been so alone. Never been so aware he was not enough.' When I read a Becky Wade book, I am completely transported into the world within its pages. With each book I read, and I've read all her books, some twice, some three times, I am aware that this is a book I want to reread again. They all sit on my shelves. Always will. Wade has a unique ability to make me totally feel each character, along with their heartache, pain, struggles, and joy. And her spiritual thread is incredibly powerful to watch unfold in her characters' lives. I've been waiting for Luke Dempsey's story, the last one of the Miracle Five, the one who wanted to totally distance himself from everyone who ever cared about him. And he has done a good job of that until now. He needs to fulfill a promise he made, and he finds himself on Finley Sutherland's doorstep, at her animal rescue. He wants to be there to fulfill the promise he made to her dad in prison, but he doesn't want to be there. He wants to be somewhere else. But God has another plan. Isn't that just like Him? Wade has totally and completely created a powerful character in this man, one of the best book heroes ever. She did the same with Finley's character. I loved her spunk and ability to see the good around her. I just plain loved everything about this book. It most definitely will get read again. And it's going on my top reads list for 2022. My thanks to Bethany House Publishing for a copy of this book via Net Galley. The opinion expressed in this book is entirely my own.
