Summer wasn’t looking for love. To be honest, she wasn’t looking for anything other than a job that would pay her grandmother’s medical bills. The job in a small town, dealing cards at a casino seemed to serve its purpose. Then HE showed up: Ben, a gentle soul who became her knight in shining armor. The problem was Summer was a “nobody” and Ben was the heir to the richest and most prominent family in town and the last thing they want is for two of them to be involved.
Summer found an anchor in Ben and Ben found in her a reason to fly.
This is a love story unlike any of the ones you have seen me review here. There’s so much love and angst and heartache and it’s made all the more beautiful when you know that these are based on Erin’s real life experiences. I could not put it down and I wanted to hug Summer a lot while listening to her story. If you are a fan of Jojo Moyes and Nicholas Sparks you will LOVE this one. I did.
Narration: I don’t have enough stars to give the narration of this book. For obvious reasons, there is no one better than Ava to give us all the feelings when we listen to Summer’s story. We get Zach through Ben’s diary entries that tie up every chapter. The feeling of enchantment of finding “the one”, of falling in love… it’s all there in his voice. An amazing audiobook that had me in tears and that will stay with me for a long time.
