Book Review: Meant to Be Mine
Author: Becky Wade
This book starts out five years in the past. Celia Park has
been in love with Ty Porter since she was fourteen. A reunion with him in Las
Vegas lands her in a wedding chapel in the middle of the night, after a
whirlwind four day relationship. The next morning Ty informs her he made a
mistake; that he was drunk and he’s in love with, and planning to marry,
someone else.
Five years later, Celia hasn’t seen or heard from Ty since
she walked out of that Vegas hotel room, her heart broken, her dreams
shattered. She’s given up her plans for her life to make a secure home for her
daughter. When Ty reappears in her life, he gets more than he bargained for
when he meets the little girl that has his name and discovers she’s his
daughter. Still married, he faces Celia’s anger and hate while he tries to get
to know his daughter. The couple struggle through this new situation they find
themselves in while dealing with the pull that’s still between them. This book
made my keep-it list and has had me rereading favorite scenes.
Rating: Loved it
Young Reader Rating: Very Adult
Adult scenes crop up in this book at the very beginning of
chapter two. From there suggestions, comments, and situations keep coming.
While the hero and heroine are married, divorce is mentioned multiple times in
the book. The hero ends his relationship, and therefore his marriage, with
Celia because he wants to be married to someone else. When they meet back up he
tells Celia he’s planning to “make my move” on another woman, despite the fact
that they’re still married. In another scene, he tells the other woman he’s
going to put a ring on her finger and minutes after she leaves his house, he’s
on the phone with Celia making suggestive statements to her. In another scene
he asks two women (three, if you count his sister-in-law) to run away with him
while his wife is in the next room. The hero borders on an addiction to pain
pills, admits he was drunk in the first scene, and goes to a bar and gets drunk
in another.
