Review - A Risk Worth Taking

When 22-year-old Summer Stafford’s parents split halfway through her senior year at college, Summer’s world is rocked. Everything she thought she knew—heck, everything she thought she wanted for her own life—feels like a lie. The truth is love is a risk. And the true kind, the kind that lasts, might even be a fairy tale. 

Reeling from the divorce, Summer derails her own future by breaking up with her parent-approved boyfriend and giving up her lifelong plans for a big-city career. She moves back home, business degree in hand. Dad needs her to fill the gaps her mother left behind; Summer needs to find who she is outside of the cookie-cutter life that failed so miserably for her parents.

Ford O’Neal’s future involves one person: himself. He doesn’t have a permanent address and he definitely doesn’t commit. To a place or a person. Raised by hippies, he plans just far enough ahead to secure his next stop, this one landing him at a work-study program at Heritage Plantation where he can grow his own herbal and medicinal creations. 

Summer is gorgeous and smart and fun to be with, the perfect way to pass five months. It won’t be love—Ford’s got too many things to accomplish, too many places to go, before he settles down. Yet Summer pulls him in, challenging him to rethink his own philosophy. 

When Ford’s five months are up, each of them must decide if love is really worth the risk

Ford and Summer's character are very lovable, they have a unique love story and principles in life. 
Summer is very confident,organized and strong personality while Ford is carefree,stubborn sometimes but he knows what he wants in life.They are perfect with each other.

The story was a realistic that really happened to ordinary people.Well written story as well. 
Beautiful quotes that begins each chapter. I love the steamy scenes and very cheesy conversation between Ford and Summer.

Author justifies each characters with a twist.I hope Heather will write Casey's story too. After reading the story, we will realize that we need to give up our dreams in the name of love.


Great Novel to read. Heather is one of my new favorite author.....must read story.
