Her One And Only

She’d actually tackled him when that first shot had gone off. It had happened fast. In less time than it took him to snap his fingers, she’d tackled him.. Many people had told him how important he was to the. Fans. His team. His coaches. His agent. But this was the first time that he’d ever seen anyone put themselves between him and a threat. It was Dru’s job to do so. But that fact that she’d actually done it, that she’d put action behind her words, caused something within him, something cold and closed, to crack. He cared about her. He cared about her way more than was wise.

Book: HerOne And Only by Becky Wade, Bethany House Publishers, 2016

Genre: Modern Realistic Fiction/Romance
Target Audience: Adult Women
Subjects: Love, Trust in God, Forgiveness, Righteousness
Summary: How on earth can she be HIS bodyguard? He’s a big tough football player. She’s younger than him and half his size for goodness sakes! And why is everyone so sure he needs a bodyguard anyway? So a few threatening letters have come. It’s not that big of a deal. Gray does not need a distraction right now. He is in the midst of an intense football season. He has a superbowl to win. Dru is not so fond of Gray either. Attempting to protect a cocky football player who refuses to acknowledge the many death threats he has received is not going to be easy. The fact that Gray thinks he can get any woman he wants to fall at his feet is not helping matters either. Yet, it’s hard to spend hours with someone and not get close to them. Dru has something to prove and is determined to keep her client alive long enough to prove it. Gray is hiding a lot of his past and is not willing to open up fully to anyone. He learned well the lessons of his childhood – trust no one. Dru is beginning to doubt she can survive this assignment. It may be impossible to be the one to keep Gray alive and still keep her heart intact. One or the other may have to go.
Notes: Her One And Only is the final book in the series of books about the Porter family. This book tells the story of the final sibling as well as give more updates on some of the previous characters. The book shows a character trying to convince himself that he is good enough. He was saved when he was young but lives completely for himself. Drinking and going through woman after woman while refusing to actually open his heart to any of them is how he has lived his life. He found success on the football field and focused his life around that in order to hide the pain of his abusive childhood. Dru challenges him to rethink his relationship with God and what really matters. There is also a thread of trust in God in the midst of trials woven through the book as it continues the story of one of the characters from a past book. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a great romance story that also includes strong spiritual elements.
Spiritual Content Recommendation Scale: 4/5

Isaiah 43:19 – See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.

Thank you to the publishers for providing me with a free review copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion. I enjoyed it!
