If you are looking for a sweet summer read than add this one to your list.You meet Summer Stanfford whose parents split up her senior year of College. After graduating, Summer decides to go home and help her father with his plantation and fill the gaps her mother has left.“The day I’d graduated, I broke it off with Aaron and told my dad I was coming home, business degree in tow. I would pick up the slack Mom had left behind.”Summer’s life is turned upside down when after she arrives home and meets Ford O’Neal. Ford is there for 5 months for a work-study program. The two hit it off right away but both are guarding their heart. Summer believes that love is not worth taking the risk since seeing her parents’ marriage of over 20 years just end. Ford believes his parents sacrificed their own dreams in order to raise a family. He thinks they gave up their dreams and does not want to commit until he has lived out all his career goals. Neither Ford nor Summer want more than a summer thing but sometimes the heart wants what the heart wants. Can these two find a way to get past how they feel about relationships and make it work? You are going to have to read the book to find out.“His hand, his mouth, the clever way he always challenged my thinking. I’d never met a guy who was both physically and intellectually attractive before. It was a lethal combination.”“My jeans grew tighter at the thought of her naked. Shit, I had a crowded dining room to get through. Dying kittens. Dying kittens.”The chemistry between Summer and Ford was great and the supporting characters were hysterical. Loved Casey, he was Summer’s long time friend since childhood and they had a close relationship, but loved to get on each others nerves. The book flowed well and the only complaint I had was I would of liked to have had a little more drama when it came time for Ford to leave. I felt that he just gave up to quickly and most of the book he was persistent and fought for her.“My worst fear was that I’d stay and blame her later for holding me down. I didn’t want this to end like that—bitter and tragic. Better to make a clean—even if sad –break.”“Dreams changed. You had to change with them or risk losing it all.”*received a complimentary copy from the author/publisher in exchange for an honest review*
