Love Like Ours

by Becky Wade
Contemporary Romance
Bethany House Becky Wade has written another heart warming love story in the third installment of the Porter Family series.* Former Marine Jake Porter has far deeper scars than the one that marks his face. He struggles with symptoms of PTSD, lives a solitary life, and avoids relationships.
When Lyndie James, Jake's childhood best friend, lands
back in Holley, Texas, Jake cautiously hires her to exercise his
Thoroughbreds. Lyndie is tender-hearted, fiercely determined, and afraid of
nothing, just like she was as a child. Jake pairs her with Silver Leaf, a
horse full of promise but lacking in results, hoping she can solve the mystery
of the stallion's reluctance to run.
Though Jake and Lyndie have grown into very different
adults, the bond that existed during their childhood still ties them
together. Against Jake's will, Lyndie's sparkling, optimistic personality
begins to tear down the walls he's built around his heart. A glimmer of the
hope he'd thought he'd lost returns, but fears and regrets still plague him.
Will Jake ever be able to love Lyndie like she deserves, or is his heart too
shattered to mend?
*While this is the third book in a series, it is written as a standalone.

know so well . . ."

My
Review:
I would recommend this awesome series to anyone who
enjoys reading romantic filled novels mixed with a faith based theme. I liked
how she covered the important topic of PTSD and I can tell she must have done
a lot of research in order to understand PTSD fully. She described in great detail
how the main character, Jake Porter struggled with living with PTSD after
what he experienced in the military. I enjoyed the romance between Lyndie and
Jake and I connected with the intense connection they had as kids and how
Lyndie desperately wanted it to return. Their childhood best friend relationship
reminded me of a country song by Miranda Lambert, “Me and Charlie Talking” and
it was constantly in my head while reading this book.
My favorite character would be Jake because he was the
loner and he was the guy who refused to get close to any one out of fear that
they would die and he would be heartbroken again. He struggled with guilt after
losing some of his buddies in the terrible military accident. I liked how she
showed the power of prayer and the importance of waiting on God’s timing. I
have read a few books by Becky Wade and her writing keeps getting better and
better. I can’t wait to read more in the Porter Family series! I hope she
continues it for a few more books! I also hope she shares more on a minor
character Amber. If you’re looking for a new novel to read for the summer,
then check this one out!
