I reviewed Undeniably Yours by Becky Wade, in exchange for review from Litfuse. The book was published by Bethany House.About the book: Copied from Litfuse:
When Meg Cole's father dies unexpectedly, she's forced to return home to Texas and to Whispering Creek Ranch to take up the reins of his 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 knows he ought to resent the woman who's determined to take from him the only job he ever wanted. 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 and earn her love.
Just when Meg realizes she can no longer deny the depth of her feelings for Bo, their fragile bond is broken by a force from Meg's past. Can their relationship-and their belief that God can work through every circumstance-survive?
About the author: Copied from Litfuse: Becky Wade is a graduate of Baylor University. As a newlywed, she lived for three years in a home overlooking the turquoise waters of the Caribbean, as well as in Australia, before returning to the States. A mom of three young children, Becky and her family now live in Dallas, Texas.

My Review:
The book starts out with Meg reminiscing over her father. She does not want to be an oil tycoon. Her father, William just died. Meg never expected to be in this position. She does not want to run her father's business. She just spent weeks going through company financials, especially Whispering Creek, a large plot of land, which houses a horse farm. Meg hates horses. The advisors had encouraged Meg to fire employees, who may not fit into the company's future. She already had started firing people (the chauffeur, the kennel manager, and the gun range manager). Meg also wanted to fire Mr. Porter, who managed the horse farm. Meg wants to shut down the horse farm, even though it is close to making a profit. She gives Bo Porter 6 months to close the facilities
The first few pages are very descriptive. It does move kind of slow at first. Yet, the character is in grief, under stress, anxious, and not feeling her new roles. Then, boom, as Meg is reflecting on the last few weeks, Bo walks back into the office and says he is not closing down the horse farm. This was a scene changer for me. The book moves from focusing solely on Meg to now putting some focus on Bo. He wants to help make decisions concerning the farm, since he invested time and energy into this venture. Meg gave Bo six months to either break even or make a decision on what to do with the farm. The farm will also stay open until Bo breaks even. After this major impetus, the book gets good-real good. Bethany House offers a great selection of books and I knew this one would be great as well.
