I absolutely fell in love with this book, and with Ford ;) Actually, I fell in love with all the characters in this book. And there were quite a few of them! I felt a strong connection to each one, and they all had their own roles within the story as a whole.Summer has just returned home after graduating college to work at her Father's farm. She is angry and bitter at the world after her parent's divorce, so she decides that she is the one that needs to fill her Mother's role in the management of the farm. She has anger towards her mother, and feels that everything she thought about love was a lie. After all, if her parents couldn't last the distance, how was she ever going to find that kind of love for herself?Ford is working at the farm for the summer on a work/study program. He loves creating edible/medicinal herbs and is travelling from farm to farm learning as much as he can. After learning that his own father settled into marriage and fatherhood early, Ford swears that he isn't going to let that happen to himself - he wants to live before he settles.The instant attraction between Summer and Ford was tangible. It literally jumps out of the pages and grabs you. I loved how both Summer and Ford were able to open the eyes of the other to possibilities that each didn't think possible for themselves.The writing style of Heather Hildenbrand is absolutely AMAZING. It's very descriptive and you feel like you are right there beside her characters. I honestly didn't want this story to end, and I sincerely hope that there's a continuation of Summer and Ford's story in the future!
