Meant to be Mine (A Porter Family Novel, #2) by Becky Wade

Ty Porter has always been irresistible to Celia Park. All through high school–irresistible. When their paths cross again after college–still irresistible. This time, though, Ty seems to feel exactly the same way about Celia. Their whirlwind romance deposits them at a street-corner Las Vegas wedding chapel.
The next morning they wake to a marriage certificate and a dose of cold reality. Celia’s ready to be Ty’s wife, but Ty’s not ready to be her husband. He’s a professional bull rider, he lives on the road, and he’s long planned to settle down with the hometown girl he’s known since childhood.
Five and a half years pass. Celia’s buried her dreams so that she can afford to raise her daughter. Ty’s achieved all of his goals. Or thought he had, until he looks again into the eyes of the woman he couldn’t forget and into the face of the child he never knew he had.
How much will Ty sacrifice to win back Celia’s trust and prove to her that their spontaneous marriage can still become the love of a lifetime?

My Review

Meant To Be Mine, a story of a one night stand, or married love for one night, and then not seeing each other for almost five years! That doesn’t quite sound right, but what Ty Porter tells his wife of about eight hours, the morning after their wedding, will and does break Celia Park’s heart. I can’t even imagine, the pain she felt, trying to place myself in her shoes, and the reality of what he says.
Flip ahead the five years, and that is where most of this book takes place, and we meet the result of that one night of married bliss, her name is Addie, precocious and loveable almost five year old. Enter a new or old depending on how you look at it Daddy, that you have never met. Now Ty, a professional and well to do Bull Rider, can give the little one anything she desires, but her Mom, is like a brick wall, and doesn’t want either of them hurt again.
Can Ty replace the trust he has lost, can Cellia offer what is so very hard, and Forgiveness as Christ has forgiven her? Wow! Yes it will take a lot hard praying, and trying to put myself in her shoes, it would be very hard. There are quite a few chuckles to be had, and a lot of bantering here. Ty comes from a family, which everyone would love to have, you can feel then wrap their arms around you, and they are there for you with more than a hug.
Can these two become a family and make it three? Or will the love of Ty’s life become available and finally say yes to him? How much is either Celia or Ty willing to sacrifice to forgive and make a home together? Once you start on this journey with them, you won’t be able to put the book down until you have all of the answers! Enjoy!
