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?
Meant to Be Mine is the second in the Porter family series. I didn't realize it was part of a series, but to be honest, I didn't feel like I had to read the first book to know what was going on. I enjoyed Ty and Celia's story. They got married on a whim in Las Vegas and after their one night together, Ty breaks Celia's heart. 5 years later, he finds out she had a child that he never knew about. I enjoyed watching these two fall in love with each other.
I loved Ty. His career has ended and now he is at loose ends. He is stumbling and trying to figure out what is next and how his daughter and "wife" fit into that next step. His family and his faith play a big role in helping him find his way. For the most part, I liked Celia. She is independent and a good mother. However, I thought that her true forgiveness for Ty came after too much time. I felt like what she did in keeping Addie from Ty was just as bad as what he did to her 5 years before. Yet, it took her so long to forgive and trust him. That got on my nerves after a while. But, I was rooting for them to finally admit they were so right for each other.
If you are looking for a sweet clean romance, this book is for you. I loved Bo and Meg and want to go back and read their story in Undeniably Yours. I hope Jake's story is next! I look forward to reading it!
