It Had to be You By Susan May Warren



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.

Growing up in Minneapolis and attending the U of MN, I learned to love city life, although I'm a woodsy girl at heart. Or maybe I'm an adventurer -- having lived and traveled all over the world, including Siberia Russia as a missionary for eight years. Probably that's why my characters can't sit still, and seem to get into one scrape after another -- they're too much like me! I love God, my family, my country, my church, and feel privileged every day to be able to write stories, that I hope inspire and entertain!

Well let me start by saying Susan has uber talent. She can sure write a contemporary romance that you will not want to put down until the very last page.
Are you looking for a book that will entertain you and inspire you? Then this is your book!
I loved the characters Jace and Eden and rooted for them all the way until the end. All of the characters are like family.
I was so sad when the book ended. I can't wait for the next book Take a Chance on Me coming this summer.
Don't miss this 5 star book, I  highly recommend this book.
I was given a copy of this book by the publisher for my honest review.

  2. I've only read one of Susan's books and that was The Christmas Bowl. It was a funny entertaining read. I knew I wanted to read more by her after reading this book. Sounds like It Had To Be You is one we don't want to miss.

    Great review Mary!

    Blessings!
