Her One and Only (A Porter Family Novel Book #4)

Her One and Only is the last book in the Porter Family series by Becky Wade. As a big fan of romantic suspense, I definitely give this book five stars. This book stars Dru Porter, the youngest member of the family and only daughter. Dru is a former Marine and currently working private security. She is hired to protect Gray Fowler, an NFL football player, who is being stalked. I loved watching Dru and Gray's relationship develop while sitting on the edge of my seat as Dru tracks down the stalker. I really appreciated a strong heroine, great banter between the characters, just the right amount of romance, and a storyline that kept me guessing Although you could read this as a standalone novel, I would recommend reading the rest of the series first. I enjoyed the updates on the Porter brothers and their families in Her One and Only. I am sad to see this series come to an end as all her fans are, but this book was a great conclusion to the Porter Family series. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

For me, this is a book that will stay with me for a very long time. I felt an emotional attachment to it long after I finished it. Not only did I connect strongly with the main characters, Dru and Gray, but I really felt that all the members of the Porter family were real people! That is why I love Becky's books so much! She writes in such a way that her characters become part of me and I can't put her books down. I have loved every one of the Porter family books but I seriously didn't think I would like Dru's book that much. Since she wasn't strongly in any of the other books, I didn't get to "know" her so I didn't feel an attachment to her. How wrong I was!!! I should have known that Becky would create a story for her that would blow me away! Because I also enjoy romantic suspense so much, I thoroughly enjoyed that element in this book. Dru is a bodyguard to a big, bad football player (Gray) who isn't really taking a stalker seriously. The management of his team is though so he has to have 24/7 bodyguards and this really bothers him. He especially doesn't think some women like Dru (especially as beautiful as she is) can protect him! But, Dru is an ex-marine and she can hold her own. Gray sees her in action and he's convinced BUT, he still doesn't think he needs 24/7 security. As we delve into the lives of Dru and Gray, it's fascinating to find out what brought each of them to the place where they are today. Gray is a womanizing, chauvinistic, hard headed guy who has had a tough childhood & just "lives for the moment". Dru is a total tomboy because she grew up with brothers and pushes herself to prove she is as good as any man. The two of them are quite a pair! I loved their conversations!!! The other part of this book that I really enjoyed was Dru's brother, Bo and his wife, Meg's pregnancy. It was precarious and such a sweet story. Since this was the last book of the series, the author did a great job of tying all the family members together and giving the readers a great gift by letting us "peek" into all their lives to see how they are doing! I will miss them all greatly! It's been one of my favorite series of books.
