A Risk Worth Taking Review...


A Risk Worth Taking by Heather Hildenbrand
Accendo Press - October 2013




BOOK SUMMARY:
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.


By Kayla:

 I was given this book from Ashley’s Reading Bliss in exchange for an honest review. The first thing I noticed was that at the top of each chapter was a quote. I liked that. You don’t see that very often. I’ve seen a few books put music lyrics but A Risk Worth Taking had great quotes. I enjoyed that. Summer was having a rough time with her parents’ divorce. She blamed her mom and didn’t want to have anything to do with her. She moved back home to help on her father’s farm and find a new path in her life. What she wasn’t expecting was to meet Ford. He is doing a work study program and has one goal. He wants to grow his own herbal and medicinal creations. Summer and Ford have an unmistakable bond and fall in love. They have a unique story. I enjoyed this book and finished it in two hours. I think that many would love this story. I recommend it to anyone who loves romance. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
