About this audiobook
Meg Cole's father dies unexpectedly, she becomes the majority shareholder of his oil company and the single inheritor of his fortune. Though Meg is soft-spoken and tenderhearted--more interested in art than in oil--she's forced to return home to Texas and to Whispering Creek Ranch to take up the reins of her father's empire. The last thing she has the patience or the sanity to deal with? Her father's thoroughbred racehorse farm. She gives its manager, Bo Porter, six months to close the place down. Bo's determined to resent the woman who's decided to rob him of his dream. But instead of anger, Meg evokes within him a profound desire to protect. The more time he spends with her, the more he longs to overcome every obstacle that separates them--her wealth, his unworthiness, her family's outrage--and earn the right to love her. But just when Meg begins to realize that Bo might be the one thing on the ranch worth keeping, their fragile bond is viciously broken by a force from Meg's past. Can their love--and their belief that God can work through every circumstance--survive?

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Meg Cole is the reluctant heiress of the multi-million dollar family business, Cole Oil. Completely unprepared to take over her late father's position and haunted by her painful past, she heeds the advice of others and determines to shut down her father's Thoroughbred racehorse farm. Bo Porter manages the horse farm and is equally determined to pay off the farm's debts and turn a profit before Meg closes it down in six months.

Read more in Undeniably Yours by Becky Wade.I love Becky Wade's book intros. They are sweet, memorable and expertly catch my interest. Like My Stubborn Heart (Wade's previous book), Undeniably Yours had a great hook that caught and held my attention. I enjoyed how the author took a blossoming romance and made it so much more than two people falling for each other. There were clear spiritual themes about trusting God, finding God's will, and reaching out to others. The plot had some twists and turns that gave a refreshing originality to the story. Some things I saw coming, some things were unexpected. I like that. Overall, I would recommend this book to fans of Christian romance, but I would add that it's for late teens or older due to a particular scene. (Nothing sexual, just something that some Christians may find morally questionable. Parental guidance suggested.)Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from the publisher.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5If you enjoy faith based fiction then you will want to pick up a copy of Becky Wade's Undeniably Yours. This novel has a sweet love story, an eclectic cast of likable characters and a storyline that is quite compelling.
Meg Cole is an oil company heiress who is struggling to live up to family expectations of running her late father's company. Meg has never felt comfortable with her family's wealth and until her father's death, she lived a simple low key life. She is uncomfortable and out of her depth with her new role in the family business and her growing unhappiness leads to a resurgence of her anxiety and panic attacks. Emotionally scarred by her past, Meg steers clears of romantic entanglements.
Bo Porter is on the verge of success with the thoroughbred racehorse farm and he fights to gain the time he needs to prove to Meg that the business can be self-sustaining. Bo is kind and caring with old fashioned values. Although Bo is fairly self-confident, the lack of a college degree and the difference in their social classes keep him from pursuing a more serious relationship with Meg.
Bo and Meg's relationship begins with friendship and their feelings for one another deepen over time. A romance between them seems impossible in the beginning. Meg has very real concerns about dating an employee while Bo worries that his motives for dating her will be misinterpreted. Well meaning interference from a relative and trust issues soon jeopardize their fragile relationship.
Undeniably Yours is a beautifully written romance with a well-developed cast of characters. The storyline is unique and realistic. Although there is strong religious content, it is never preachy. This delightful first installment of the Porter Family series is a wonderfully angst-free novel that old and new fans of Becky Wade are sure to enjoy. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is one of the few books I wanted to read a second time. When I realized Undeniably Yours was part of the Porter Family, it had been awhile since I had read it. The first time reading it I gave it a rating of 4, because there is no 4.5 rating. After rereading it and going on to book 2 and 3 of the series, i had to change my rating to a 5. I feel in love with both Bo and Meg and wanted so much for everything to work out for them. I stayed up half the night to finish it, I couldn't put it down. Way to go Becky, and thank you for writing clean, Christian love stories that we can enjoy, a true fan.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Becky Wade has written an engaging contemporary romance in Undeniably Yours. With complex characters, interesting plot twists and a definite swoon-worthy attraction between the two mains, this is a not to be missed novel for romance fans.Meg Cole is learning how to live life as head of a major oil company following the death of her father. Faced with lots to learn and even more decisions, Meg has all the elements for anxiety attacks. Enter, Bo Porter, the manager of her horse farm. Her determination to liquidate the farm melts after their first encounter. Meg feels the heat between them and fights to guard her heart from more betrayal and hurt.Cole and Meg are opposites that definitely attract. Cowboy and countess, they do share a faith in the God who controls all aspects of their lives. Their dependence on prayer and scripture is a great elements in Undeniably Yours. And while true love is never easy or without setbacks, their love and faith endure. Mostly a straight romance, fast-paced suspense adds excitement at the end of the book.All in all a good book for when nothing but a romance will do. Pick up this first in the Porter Family series.Recommended.(Thanks to Bethany for a review copy. All opinions expressed are mine alone.)
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I am so grateful that I got to finish this book. I got this book back in the spring, and I wanted to read it. Yeah, I know I shouldn’t wait so long especially with NetGalley, but medical issues arose. I am so GLAD I did!Anyway, the characters in this read are truly genuine. They become more than just a storyline. Bo has a sense of venerability; he thinks about Meg, and it is more than just “thinking” about her, but about her needs. Such a sweet love story, and so romantic. There is just enough drama in the book to hold your attention, but a lot more love than just what develops in a typical “romance”, especially when Meg’s sociopathic ex-husband was added. The story is great for anyone! I would highly recommend especially if you are into contemporary romances like me. Now the wait for the continuing series.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5“Undeniably Yours” by Becky Wade was an amazing book. I loved Meg and I loved following along with her journey and hoping she got all she wanted in the end. I was hooked from the first page right up until the last page. This book follows Meg and her journey to take over her fathers business’s after he passes away. You first meet Bo when she calls him in because she is going to shut down the horse farm that he runs for her father. He gets her to give him 6 months to earn back the money that was invested into the farm before he shuts it down. As I am sure you can guess they start to fall in love throughout the book. I am not going to say anymore because I don’t want to give anything away. I loved this book and I can’t wait to read more books by this author.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I try not to gush about books I really like (though my followers might not agree with me on that) but I fell in love with both Meg and Bo as soon as I met them. Becky did a fantastic job of making them real to me, and I feel like I know them intimitely and would dearly love to visit their ranch. They have enough flaws to make them human, but enough good to redeem them into hero and heroine. The twists and turns and misunderstandings kept me turning pages rapidly to find out what would happen next. When things got so I was angry with them for things they thought and did, I did have to distance myself for a bit, but was back to see how it would be resolved.The vivid imagery of the Texas landscape in the middle of oil country and horse ranches drew me in till I think I might even find Holley.I loved how Becky clearly brought out how we need to rely on God, and put our trust in Him instead of others, and the fact that other characters in the novel clearly were motivated by God in that they listened and did His bidding, and how that ministered to others encouraged me to be more available with that prayer or phonecall.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A sweet romance. Once you pick this one up you wish you were in Meg Cole's shoes, or not. She can buy anything she wants, but love! Guess that other side of the fence does always look greener.Bo Porter's first meeting with her, is a life changer in more ways than one. She wants to close down her deceased father's race horse ranch and stables. Bo begs and wins six months to make the ranch pay for itself...she says yes, but no guarantees.I loved the compassion both of the main characters seemed to possess for others, especially the less fortunate. Also enjoyed the fact that the both have a great love for The Lord! Who does turn up in interesting places!Can you imagine walking in the world of the upper elite? How would you fit in? Bo seems to do a fairly good job. We see him judged, a bit unfairly. There is also some evil lurking about, and maybe the end of some of these individuals. Enjoy going to country music dances and elegant formal dinners.This is one of those books you can't wait to read the next book in the series. Don't miss the first one!I received this book through Litfuse Publicity Book Tours, and was not required to give a positive review.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved BEcky Wade's first book, My Stubborn Heart. I thought, "Now here's an author I want to read more of." I wasn't disappointed in this book. It just blew me away. For real.Meg Cole's father has died and left her in control of Cole Oil. Immensely wealthy, Meg is desperately unhappy, suffering panic attacks frequently. She decides to close the horse farm her father started and calls in the farm manager, Bo Porter, to give him the unhappy news. Bo convinces her to give the farm 6 months to produce before closing. Meg reluctantly agrees.Meg has endured a divorce that left her broken inside, but she is a strong believer, trusting God to take her through every difficulty. She hates Cole Oil, doesn't want to work there, but doesn't know what to do about it. She begins to trust God for this and He does give her answers.Can Meg trust Bo? Will he be after her money? There are many questions in this book and Becky WAde answers them all and answers them well.This book ministered to me on many levels. There are, I believe, several allegories here. First of all,what I love most about Wade's writing is that she gives a large portion of her writing to the goodness and faithfulness of God. This is not just a swear free, sex free 'nice' book. This is true Christian fiction, giving God first place, which He deserves.There is romance and what a romance. I've never felt the depth of love in a book the way I did here between Meg and Bo. And it wasn't dirty. You CAN find that in a book. I applaud Becky Wade for this if nothing else. But she writes so strongly of God's love and faithfulness, how He provides strength through others when we need it.This was an amazing book and one I'll be poud to display on my book shelves. I wish she'd write faster. This is not a book you can finish, put down, and immediately pick up another book to read. No, you want to dwell on it, savor it and think of it long after you close the pages.If you do not read this book, you will miss out on an experience that you'll never forget. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A Real Page Turner!If a book deserves more than 5 stars, this is the one. Becky Wade is now on my list of must read authors. This is the first book that I have read of hers and it definitely will not be the last.How do you take a wealthy woman and a lowly ranch manager and pair them together in a romance that one will not forget? I'm here to tell you that the author did just that.As we follow Meg Cole's life of being thrown into a position she never expected to be in so soon and Bo Porter's life of being content and loving his job as the manager of Whispering Creek Ranch we are taken on a very wild and thrilling ride. Throw in some unexpected twists and turns and your emotions reach some highs and lows.The author throughout this book includes the message of trusting God, leaning on God, and waiting on God. Past hurts are healed and forgiveness is needed and extended.I can't say enough about this book. I hope that by reading this review you will want to pick up a copy. I promise, promise, that you will not be disappointed.Thank you Becky Wade for a book I will not soon forget. I hope that you will do a follow up to this book. I need to know how my favorite characters (Bo and Meg) are doing!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Meg Cole returns home to Whispering Creek Ranch after her father dies, to take over the leadership of Cole Oil. One thing she wants to do is dissolve her father’s Thoroughbred racehorse farm. She gives Bo Porter six months to complete the task. Bo Porter has poured everything into the Thoroughbred farm he built with Meg’s father. He should be angry with the woman who is trying to, not just take away his job, but destroy his dream. Instead he finds himself very attracted to Meg and wanting to protect her from people who want to take advantage of her. Meg finds that when she’s with Bo, he gives her a strength and peace she hasn’t experienced since her father’s death. Both have a deep faith and a desire to following God’s leading. Meg has a hard time with trusting people thanks to a very painful past experience. Bo’s praying she learns she can trust him with her heart as well as everything else. But what will happen when something comes up that causes Meg to doubt Bo? Is their love and faith strong enough to survive it?I absolutely love the cover of Undeniably Yours and knew I had to read it! Becky Wade is a new author to me so I didn’t know what to expect. What I found was a terrific story, loaded with characters that will steal your heart, a character that would steal you blind, suspense that will keep you flipping pages and a romance that will send your heart pounding! I must say though, for me, it was a bit slow in the beginning but once it took off I couldn’t put it down. The story dealt with some complex issues but also had a generous portion of hope and encouragement. There probably aren’t a lot of folks who’ll read this story that would be in Meg’s position but you could totally understand why Meg felt the way she did. Meg was a sweet girl with a generous heart who found her strength in the Lord. Bo was the consummate, sigh-worthy hero that you just fall in love with. Strong, gentle and honorable but not perfect. Together they were romantic dynamite! One thing I really appreciated was the way Meg consulted the Lord before making decisions, by reading His Word and praying. Something we should all be doing. I also liked how she recognized how the Lord was always watching out for her through others. It made me think of all the times the Lord sent just the right person to me at just the right time. The suspense at the end was spell-binding and kept me glued to story ‘til the last page was turned. If you enjoy a tale that has a little of everything, humor, romance, suspense and some nuggets of wisdom, then you will love Undeniably Yours!*This complimentary copy was provided by Bethany House through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review* Paperback: 384 pagesPublisher: Bethany House Publishers (May 1, 2013)ISBN-10: 0764209752ISBN-13: 978-0764209758
