It Had to be You by Susan May Warren Book Review and Giveaway

About the Book

A Christensen Family Novel.
Eden Christiansen never imagined her role as her younger brother Owen’s cheerleader would keep her on the sidelines of her own life. Sure, it feels good to be needed, but looking after the reckless NHL rookie leaves little time for Eden to focus on her own career. She dreamed of making a name for herself as a reporter, but is stuck writing obits—and starting to fear she doesn’t have the chops to land a major story. If only someone would step up to mentor Owen . . . but she knows better than to expect help from team veteran and bad-boy enforcer Jace Jacobsen.
Jace has built his career on the infamous reputation of his aggressive behavior—on and off the ice. Now at a crossroads about his future in hockey, that reputation has him trapped. And the guilt-trip he’s getting from Eden Christiansen isn’t making things any easier. But when Owen’s carelessness leads to a career-threatening injury and Eden stumbles upon a story that could be her big break, she and Jace are thrown together . . . and begin to wonder if they belong on the same team after all.

My review;

This is a story of Eden Christiansen and a woman's devotion to her younger brother. All of her dreams are going unfulfilled because she likes to feel as if her brother really needs her help in his life. She wishes that she can have someone help her manage his life. She meets Jace, a man who has a less than good reputation. When Jace meets Eden they are always finding themselves together. They feel as if this might be what was meant to be as they begin to get closer.  This is a story about family love, faith and loyalty. I give this book  a 4/5. I was given this book by Litfuse Publicity Group and all opinions are my own.
