My Review of A Risk Worth Taking by Heather Hildenbrand

**New Adult title. Due to content, this title is not suitable for young readers.** 

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. 

My Review:

5 Stars

An amazing book by Heather Hildenbrand. A story that will tug at your heart strings and having you falling in love with the main characters.

Everything was going get for Summer, until the one holiday home when her parent's dropped the bombshell that they were seperating. 

Since that day Summer's life has changed. She now guards her heart with the utmost care. Since the two people she admired most have left each other, Summer can't see how a forever love can exsist. That is until she moves home and meets Ford. 

Ford is a driven man. He has his life set the way he wants it. After seeing his parents and feeling like his dad had to give up on what he wanted in life, Ford is in no hurry to settle down. The one thing he didn't count on was Summer. 

Both Summer and Ford fight the feelings they have for each other. When they finally give in a decision is made. This will only last the summer. After the harvest season is done Ford will move on to his next stop and Summer will continue to stay on and help her father. 

After secrets are reveal and feelings become to much Summer and Ford have a decision to make. Do they follow their hearts or keep to their plans?
