A Risk Worth Taking by Heather Hildenbrand
Synopsis:
**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.

Review
Summer's life has been flipped upside down by her parents split and when she thinks it can not get any worse in walks Ford into her life and really shakes things up. She had been questioning everything about love before him and now he has her questioning herself.
This is one of the best romance books I have read in awhile.Its a true summer love story, if you have ever had a summer love this book will take you back to it. I loved the book and would recommend it to anyone who loves reading a good romance.
It is also something completely different from what Heather usually writes and that is something else I love about it, yes I love her fantasy type books but this one shows that she can veer off into something else and her fans still love it! I can not wait to read more romance books by Heather!
Heather Hildenbrand was born and raised in a small town in northern
Virginia where she was homeschooled through high school. She now lives
in coastal VA, a few miles from the Atlantic Ocean, with her husband and
two adorable children. She works from home, part time, as a property
manager and when she's not furiously pounding at the keyboard, or
staring off into space whilst plotting a new story, she's helping her
husband with DIY projects in their home (he woodworks - she paints) or
she's lying on the beach, soaking in those delicious, pre-cancerous
rays. Heather loves Mexican food, hates socks with sandals, and if her
house was on fire, the one thing she'd grab is her DVR player.
