Book Beginnings + Friday 56: True to You by Becky Wade

Book Beginnings is a weekly meme hosted by Rose City Reader that asks you to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you're reading.

Friday 56 is hosted by Freda's Voice and asks you to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your ereader and share a non-spoilery sentence or two.

This week I'm featuring True to You (A Bradford Sisters Romance #1) by Becky Wade.



Book Beginning

Finding oneself at the mercy of a crazed gunman isn't all fun and games.


Friday 56  (56% on my Kindle)

She gave John a smile she did not feel in any corner of herself. "Hi, I'm Willow. Nora's sister."


About the Book

After a devastating heartbreak three years ago, genealogist and historical village owner Nora Bradford has decided that burying her nose in her work and her books is far safer than romance in the here and now.

Unlike Nora, former Navy SEAL and Medal of Honor recipient John Lawson is a modern-day man, usually 100 percent focused on the present. But when he's diagnosed with an inherited condition, he's forced to dig into the secrets of his past and his adoption as an infant, enlisting Nora to help him uncover the identity of his birth mother.

The more time they spend together, the more this pair of opposites suspects they just might be a perfect match. However, John's already dating someone and Nora's not sure she's ready to trade her crushes on fictional heroes for the risks of a real relationship. Finding the answers they're seeking will test the limits of their identity, their faith, and their devotion to one another.

  2. This one sounds pretty interesting, thanks for mentioning it. I recently read The Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman, and I'm currently reading The Library of Fates by Aditi Khorana.
