Becky Wade Books in Order

Where to Start Reading Becky Wade

Becky Wade is a staple of contemporary Christian romance, known for blending rich character arcs, emotional depth, and realistic faith struggles. Because her novels are almost always set within tightly knit family circles or small-town communities, starting in the right place makes a significant difference. If you want the absolute best experience, choose one of these starting paths:

• The Standalone Route: Start with her debut novel, My Stubborn Heart. It is a completely self-contained story with no series attachments, making it the perfect introduction to her signature style of humor, deep faith, and slow-burn chemistry.
• The Series Route (Recommended): Start with the Porter Family series (beginning with Undeniably Yours). It is her most iconic family saga and lays the groundwork for the style of interconnected romances she would write in subsequent years.
• The Prequel Novella Route: If you prefer to sample her writing before committing to a full-length book, start with the prequel novellas Then Came You (for the Bradford Sisters series) or Take a Chance on Me (for the Misty River Romance series).

Porter Family Series

The Porter Family series centers on the lives, loves, and faith journeys of the Porter siblings. These books are contemporary romance favorites, dealing with themes of healing, trust, and horse-ranch settings. While each book can be read as a standalone, reading them in order prevents major spoilers regarding the relationship statuses of older siblings.

1. Undeniably Yours (2013) – Focuses on Bo Porter and Meg Cole.
2. Meant to Be Mine (2014) – Focuses on Ty Porter and Celia Park.
3. A Love Like Ours (2015) – Focuses on Jake Porter and Lyndee Holt.
4. The Proposal (2015) – A short story / novella that acts as Book 3.5, following up on characters in the Porter family universe.
5. Her One and Only (2016) – Focuses on Dru Porter and Gray Fowler.

Bradford Sisters Series

This series centers on three sisters—Nora, Britt, and Willow—and their search for love, family history, and deeper faith. The first full-length novel, True to You, won the Christy Award for Book of the Year. Becky Wade introduces this series with a prequel novella and inserts another novella between books two and three. For the best experience, include the novellas as they establish key emotional stakes.

1. Then Came You (2017) – Prequel Novella (Book 0.5) featuring details about the sisters and their family history.
2. True to You (2017) – Book 1, focusing on historical genealogist Nora Bradford and John Lawson.

4. Because of You (2019) – Novella (Book 2.5) featuring Maddie and Leo.
5. Sweet on You (2019) – Book 3, focusing on Willow Bradford and Corbin Stewart.

Misty River Romance Series

Set in a scenic, small-town mountain community, the Misty River Romance series follows a group of friends who share a history linked by a dramatic cave rescue. This series is heavily character-driven and has a slightly more emotional tone, dealing with trauma, recovery, and deep-seated secrets.

Standalone Novels and Multi-Author Contributions

Aside from her major series, Becky Wade has written standalone works. It is important to note that many online listings include a massive series called A Year of Weddings (specifically A Year of Weddings 2). This is a multi-author project published by Thomas Nelson, meaning that while there are over a dozen novellas in the collection, Becky Wade only wrote one of them.

• My Stubborn Heart (2012) – Wade's debut standalone novel. It follows Kate Donovan as she restores her grandmother's home and meets Matt Jarreau.
• Love in the Details (2015) – A standalone novella that was originally published as part of the multi-author A Year of Weddings 2 series (representing the November wedding installment). It follows high school sweethearts Josh and Holly as they reunite at a wedding.
