Let It Be Me

Misty River Romance, Book 2

By: Becky Wade

Narrated by: Barbara McCulloh

The one woman he wants is the one he cannot have.

Former foster kid Sebastian Grant has leveraged his intelligence and hard work to become a pediatric heart surgeon. But not even his career success can erase the void he’s tried so hard to fill. Then he meets high school teacher Leah Montgomery, and his fast-spinning world comes to a sudden stop. He falls hard, only to make a devastating discovery - Leah is the woman his best friend set his heart on months before.

Leah’s a math prodigy who’s only ever had one big dream - to earn her PhD. Raising her little brother put that dream on hold. Now that her brother will soon be college-bound, she’s not going to let anything stand in her way. Especially romance...which is far less dependable than algebra.

When Leah receives surprising results from the DNA test she submitted to a genealogy site, she solicits Sebastian’s help. Together, they comb through hospital records to uncover the secrets of her history. The more powerfully they’re drawn to each other, the more strongly Sebastian must resist, and the more Leah must admit that some things in life - like love - can’t be explained with numbers.

The storyline

Liked the characters it just took forever for them to get together but glad it hapoened

I love a good love story

This is very good. It has different turns that you don’t see coming. The only thing that I would’ve recommend to the author is the voice is not right for the reading.

Easy flow of the storyline

Truly enjoyed every moment of the story. Listen, you won’t regret it. Now I’ll search for others by this author

I wanted a more likable leading lady

This was my 5th book by Becky Wade - and my least favorite. At first I thought it was just the reader … she wasn’t bad in general, but her voice totally didn’t fit this book. She’d be excellent for like a Jane Austen novel. So I thought the voice was making the main character unlikeable. But several hours in, I realized she just isn’t a very likable character. And I also felt like the mystery element in this book didn’t keep me dying to figure out what happened, Becky’s books usually have me gobbling up the mystery. That said, I did gasp out loud at the twist! About 3/4 of the way through I found myself checking the time to see how much I had left, hoping to be almost done. Which is not usually my reaction to this author at all. BUT, I’m still super excited to finish the series!

Powerful Christian Romance

Great story. Love this series but this book had a terrible reader. She might be good in a light comedy but really tanked on this book. Didn’t even try to differentiate the voices of the characters. Really a shame.
