From the moment that you open the first page, this book seems to suck you in like a vacuum. And somehow, the once daunting 400 hundred pages of book seem to go by in an instant flurry of handsome NFL players and tough-guy, er, tough-girl bodyguards. This book is a book of snarky conversations, Sherlock Holmes detective skills, fast cars, hired housewives, and a splash of forbidden love.
I'm a sucker for fictional relationships that seem to have been built upon a foundation of sarcasm, and Her One and Only is no exception. Throughout the course of the book, main characters Gray Fowler (NFL superstar) and Dru Porter (once thrill-seeking teenager turned bodyguard heroine) are two very different people with different views on life. Dru likes a life of solitude, taking her elderly neighbor to "biker church" on Wednesday nights, whereas Gray likes his women and his alcohol.
*spoiler* Over the course of 400 pages, Dru and Gray both go through some pretty dramatic changes, and, well, let's just say that after some ups and downs, Dru dons a black dress in a hunting lodge surrounded by some pretty special friends and family.
In the end, this is a book that deserves a space on your bookshelf.

About the Author:
Becky Wade is a native of California who attended Baylor University, met and married a Texan, and now lives in Dallas. A favorite among readers of Christian contemporary romance, Becky has won a Carol Award, an Inspirational Reader’s Choice Award, and an INSPY Award.
Summary:
After ten years in the NFL, super star Gray Fowler is accustomed to obsessive fans.
But when Gray starts receiving death threats from a stalker, his team hires an executive protection agency to guard him until the culprit is caught. Dealing with bodyguards 24/7 is a headache, especially when one of them is a young, beautiful woman. How can a female half his size possibly protect him better than he can protect himself?
Dru Porter is a former Marine, an expert markswoman, and a black belt—none of which saved her from disaster on her last assignment. In order to rebuild her tarnished reputation, she’s determined to find Gray’s stalker and, since relationships between agents and clients are forbidden, avoid a romantic attachment between herself and the rugged football player with the mysterious past.
Yet every secret that leads Dru closer to the stalker also draws her closer to Gray. As the danger escalates, they’ll survive only if they can learn to trust their lives—and their hearts—to one another.
