A Note From the Publisher

Betsy Anne is a Texas girl, now planted in the red clay of North Carolina with her New Jersey born husband, three kids, two cats and an old dog. A ravenous reader as child, she began pecking out her own stories on her mother's typewriter at the ripe age of six. This passion for reading, and sharing, stories has continued into adulthood and it's a love she's nurtured in her own children.
Betsy's first novel, Mine, Not Hers, a Shelf Magazine's Shelf Unbound Contest -Top 100 Notable Indies of 2015 pick, is the first book in her True Love Series.
When she's not reading or taking pictures of her cats, she loves to bake, watch sit-coms and binge on every show on Food Network. Whenever possible, she heads to the beaches of South Carolina to relax and write.

A Love We Deserve is the second in the True Love series. I had problems with it, just as I had problems with the first one, Mine, Not Hers. For about the first 3/4 of the book, Melanie was an unlikable heroine. She was downright rude and mean, such a change from the way she was in Mine, Not Hers. I would score the first 3/4 2 stars because she was so unlikable. But, lo and behold, once she and Brian actually got together permanently, she became a much more likable person and I was able to really enjoy the last 1/4 of the story. If it weren't for Brian, who I swear, is the sweetest, most adorable hero I've read in forever, I probably would have still 2 starred this because Melanie's unlikability was so bad, even though she redeemed herself toward the end.

Melanie is an unhappily divorced mother of three. She doesn't have much in her life aside from her three preteen boys, so she sets out to get herself together by joining a gym. It's where she'll meet who she thinks is her next love, Caleb, but it turns out she wasn't really ready for a relationship or love, so they don't work out. When she, thanks to Katie, from Mine, Not Hers, starts a job working for a women's shelter, it's where she'll meet the real love of her life - Brian, a football player for the Chicago Bears. But, she's still reeling from her divorce and the end of her relationship with Caleb, so she rejects him out of hand, even though he immediately gave off the sweetest vibes. Honestly, I wanted to smack her more than once, OK, MANY times, for the way she treated Brian throughout their story. Thank God Brian has the patience of a saint, and the persistence of a hound, though, and she finally allows him into her heart and her life. From there, the story took a turn for the good, and I was finally able to connect with her and remember how sweet she was in Mine, Not Hers.

I'm not too sure about the heroines in this True Love world, but I adore both Brian and Jason, so I'm intrigued enough to want to read the next story, A Model Romance, which features Melanie's sister, Rebecca. Here's hoping Rebecca is more interesting and likable than her sister was in A Love We Deserve, and that the hero is just as adorable as Brian and Jason.

This is my second book by this author... I think because I didn't enjoy the first book in this series, I was unable to get into this book. I quit after the second chapter.

Thanks for Netgalley and respective publisher for sending me this copy.

It's natural kind of story like ordinary one.
One has been seeking for true love, but hard to be found.
Same Battle but different character likewise differ in characteristics.
Though it has some magnetic coupling and minx made the leading character entangled with special someone.
I had expected more, But I've comprised.
Happy ending,
