During her childhood in California, Becky frequently produced homemade plays starring her sisters, friends, and cousins. These plays almost always featured a heroine, a prince, and a love story with a happy ending. She's been a fan of all things romantic ever since.
Becky and her husband lived overseas in the Caribbean and Australia before settling in Dallas, Texas. It was during her years abroad that Becky's passion for reading turned into a passion for writing. She published three historical romances with Avon Books, then put her career on hold for several years to care for her kids, then recently returned to writing sheerly for the love of it. She felt led to move to the genre of contemporary Christian romance and couldn't be more thrilled with it.
These days Becky can be found failing but trying to keep up with her housework, sweating at the gym, carting her kids around town, playing tennis, hunched over her computer, eating chocolate, or collapsed on the sofa watching TV with her husband.
About the book:
My Stubborn Heart
by Becky Wade
Kate Donovan is burned out on work, worn down by her dating relationships, and in need of an adventure. When her grandmother asks her to accompany her to Redbud, Pennsylvania, to restore the grand old house she grew up in, Kate jumps at the chance.
Upon her arrival in Redbud, Kate meets Matt Jarreau, the man hired to renovate the house. Kate can't help being attracted to him, drawn by both his good looks and something else she can't quite put her finger on. He's clearly wounded--hiding from people, from God, and from his past. Yet Kate sets her stubborn heart on bringing him out of the dark and back into the light...whether he likes it or not.
When the stilted, uncomfortable interactions between Kate and Matt slowly shift into something more, is God finally answering the longing of her heart? Or will Kate be required to give up more than she ever dreamed?

My Thoughts:
Kate Donovan has taken a well needed reprieve from her job in order to travel to Rosebud, Pennsylvania. Her Grandmother asked for her help in restoring the house where her grandmother grew up. They will be getting much needed help from Matt Jarreau, a contractor that specializes in restoration of old homes. Everyone sees much more in this handsome man than just a contractor. He definitely looks as if he carries a great burden on his heart that even show in his eyes. Kate has a soft heart for burdened souls. Has God brought her to Rosebud to help this man heal his broken heart and soul?
Reading this book was like wrapping up in a warm blanket. The characters became very familiar to me like old friends. My heart especially ached for the pain Matt endured. Kate's character was so in tune to the needs of others to the point of neglecting her own needs.
Kate's grandmother had some eccentric and very comical friends. They helped to loosen up Matt and pull him out of his recluse like state.
I highly recommend this book.
I have rated this book a 5 out of 5.
