Meant to Be Mine Book Review

Meant to Be Mine was a very compelling story from beginning to end and the title was aptly used. Ty Porter and Celia Park attended the same high school and when they just happened to be in Vegas at the same time, they got together and spent some of the most amazing days of their lives together, not knowing that what took place would change their lives forever. This was definitely a story of "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" as they got married and then lived apart as if it never happened.



Celia was so in love with Ty, however, after Ty realized that marrying Celia was a mistake, he broke her heart and sent her back home a married and lonely woman, claiiming that he was in love with someone else.

After a few years apart Ty revisits Vegas, and, old memories of what happened those many years ago, comes back to him. The memories were so strong that he set out to find Celia once again. After much searching, he finds her and pays her a visit, not accepting the fact that Celia has moved on with her life and is carrying around unforgiveness in her heart towards Ty.

This is a story of love, and in the greater sense, God's love. Both Celia and Ty have to go through a series of life lessons to realize that what God has for each of them is not necessarily what they want for themselves. Mean to be mine is a story filled with adventure, love, friendship, family, and forgiveness. Thank you Bethany House Publishers for allowing me to review this book.
