My Stubborn Heart {Review}

My Stubborn Heart by Becky Wade is another great summer read. Kate Donovan is a 31 year old social worker who has been praying for a husband since she was young. When she needs a break from her job, she heads to the small town of Redbud, PA with her grandma to help her renovate her grandma's childhood home, Chapel Bluff. Despite being cute, spunky, and fun, she seems to have low self-esteem and wonders if God will ever bring a husband into her life.
Enter Matt Jarreau. Matt is an ex-world famous hockey player, hiding out from everyone after the death of his wife. Matt has shut out all his family and friends, but as he works to renovate Chapel Bluff with Kate and her grandma, Kate is determined to become his friend. Despite Matt's determination to keep her out of his life and Kate's determination to think of Matt as only a friend, they both find themselves drawn to each other. As Kate's prayers for a husband and Matt's family's prayers for him are answered by God, they all find that God doesn't always prayers the way we expect!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and wished it could have gone on and on! I love that the end wasn't quite what I expected it to be, but it still ended so well. I think it was a great reminder that no matter how badly we want something, we always need to follow God's will for our lives. I highly recommend My Stubborn Heart and can't wait to read more from Becky Wade!

I received this book for free for review from Bethany House Publishers.
