Summer is moving back home after college, and she loves working on a family farm with her cowboy father. I love that she loves books. She has also just broken up with her boyfriend of two years and had her world turned upside down, as her family has been as well. She may be a new adult, but in many ways, she is still very lost and still finding herself.
The family meal time with the workers is filled with of found family vibes and cozy memories, but even she takes notice of the new farmhand, Ford. I mean, those blue eyes, muscles, deep voice, what’s not to love about that? I do like that we get his pov as well, and he is an educated man who says what he means.
Their interactions become flirtatious and slightly steamy. They can’t seem to resist the attraction, but she has her own damage to work through, and he is living in the moment. Plus, she is the boss's daughter, so kinda forbidden. A list, some summer spontaneity, and fantastic banter. Summer and Ford really ignite the page whenever they get intimate, but he is still trying to figure her out. Meanwhile, her happiness is coming back while interacting with old friends like her bestie, Casey. The creek race was fun and lively.
Will Summer accept just a fling? I guess friends become more, and maybe just a summer thing, but maybe enough to help her find herself again as well. Ford is a wonderful guy, maybe thinking with his lips a little too much, but he is sweet and at least can talk in complete sentences.
The first date was very memorable but oh so dirty. However, this country girl can’t seem to keep her mind off Mr. Farmer, and she wants to play in more the just dirt with him. But this being a small town, things don’t end the best way. I’m anxiously awaiting their next date. Well, nothing like her inhibitions going out the window, and this book is finally getting steamy.
The season of Summer is leading into autumn, and the expiration date on their little non-titled fling. I don’t blame Summer for being mopey about it. Ford is a heck of a catch, too bad he doesn’t seem to want to settle down just yet.
Along with summer fun, the book has themes of broken family, forgiveness, finding yourself, living in the moment, found family, and many other life lessons. Summer is intuitive but also stubborn, Ford teachers but loves her gently while letting her learn and be herself as well. I really enjoy their relaxed carefree nature, but the oh so steamy parts when they are together could have been left out. Most of it was the same scenes repeated anyway.
Summer has matured in this story, and she repairs her relationship with her mother. I love that, but we are so heading towards a last-act breakup. I know it’s coming, and it is going to wreck me. Ford is leaving soon, and unfortunately, their summer fling has a lot of feelings attached.
The picnics on the wildflowers are picturesque, but the breakup isn’t; it is very predictable. Does absence make the heart grow fonder or just cause it to break irreparably?
Yup, now I’m blubbering while I’m reading cause of the found love in this book, last act breakup up and new adult romance is so sweet and so heartbreaking that it finally got me. Ah, so her finally gets his head out of his greenhouse and realizes what he left behind is worth fighting for. I love that he does come back, but it isn’t just Insta-perfect. The epilogue, however, was a great ending to this story. The book ends sweetly with a nice hfn.
If your looking for a lovely country romance with new adult storyline about a college girl come home to work the on the farm, find herself and fall in love with just a fling with a hired hand. This story will absolutely be perfect, it is sweet, summery, and steamy. I love all the rustic vibes with touches of found family and even some mature decisions. They didn’t expect to find true love in their summer fling, and the last act breakup up while predictable was still emotionally moving. The ending of the book is sweet, and Ford, the lucky farm hand, did score the boss's daughter.

There's just something about a small-town romance that gets me in the feels. I loved Summer and Ford's story. She doesn't want to be back on the farm but is called back because of her mother. Ford is only spending the summer working as a farmhand and will be leaving to head north at the end. As much as neither of them wants a complicated relationship, it's impossible for them to avoid each other, and situations seem to push them together at every turn. As the summer passes and comes closer to a close, they need to figure out what they're going to do when their affair comes to an end. None of this was expected, and it's going to be the hardest thing they'll have to face.
I loved this story. It had sweet moments with a bite of spice, and it completely made me fall in love with the characters. I'm looking forward to reading more stories by this author.

I enjoyed all the characters, they were all so believable at Heritage Plantation. Summer managed to learn how to have fun in the present and Ford taught her in an effortless fashion how to capture the little fun moments. This was not easy for Summer as her nature was always structured, but Ford gave her a lot of food for thought. Enjoyed the storyline and the chemistry was well captured. I thoroughly enjoy HEA stories.

I have been wanting Casey's story since we first met him. He is mine, I claimed him.
Ok, this is definitely an opposite attraction situation here, Jordan is there for two reasons, and a country boy is not even remotely close to any of them. Will my boy be able to break down her walls? Or will she break him?

Cute read
It was a cute little read. Summers reaction to her parents divorce didn't make a lot of sense to me, but I've never been through that so maybe?? But that aside it was a cute little romance story. The banter between Ford and summer was funny. Parts felt a little forced though.

Sweet love story between Ford and Summer. He is a sweet man who is working for her dad for. The summer. She is home for the summer to come spend time home with her dad and help on the farm. They are drawn together as friends, but find there is so much more to this electric spark. Do they do something about it or keep it to just for the summer.

Good storyline, different events, characters, yet all well interlinked.
Plenty of sweet moments, and a couple of spicy scenes.
Very easy to read, but wasn't one of my quick reads.

A sweet little story that makes your heart yearn for a good farm hand to show you what love is. While you enjoy the ride, you also get lessons on life. It's cute. That's really all it needs to be
