I enjoyed Flirting With Forever and would definitely read more of the Graciella series. Sarah Ohlin did write a beautiful and enticing love story. ~ Kitty – Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews
Synopsis:
What would you give up to make forever come true?
Adam Brockman has been working the land and the horses in Graciella since he can remember, and the new Brockman Farms business ventures are all blossoming. Adam’s always believed in the farm, in family, and he’s convinced he’ll find the perfect love in the perfect moment.
Widowed Cassandra Dorsey hopes her stay at a Brockman Farm cottage will help find peace and get her life back on track after losing her dream job as the food editor of The San Francisco Chronicle and being reckless with men in order to feel again have done nothing but leave her numb.
Tumbling headfirst into love, Adam sets out to woo Cass into staying in Graciella and becoming his forever. Although initially convinced she needs to get her old job back, the land and love revive Cass’s senses and she starts to imagine new dreams that include a gorgeous farm and her sexy cowboy.
But a bombshell flips their world upside down and shakes the foundation of their fledgling relationship. Will the shock of a lifetime tear them apart…or grant Adam and Cass their chance at forever?
What a sweet and romantic story Flirting With Forever was. Adam was a gentleman through and through. Cass was a broken woman just looking to reset her life and move forward. Together they found that love can conquer all and solve a lot of life’s problems.
Adam was in love with the land and Brockman Farms and knew that someday, his hearts desire would just fall into his life. He didn’t expect it to happen the way it did but was so thankful for Bullet and that shovel of manure. He needs to find a way to get Cass to see that he is her forever and that she belongs with him. Yes, there are trial and tribulations and Adam messes up, but, once he takes that step back and sees what he has done, he do whatever it takes to make it up to Cass and promise her the forever that she deserves.
This was actually a second chance at love story for Cass. After a terrible heartbreak, she needs to mend, to find herself and her career again. She doesn’t expect to find love or a man that would move heaven and earth for her to be happy and loved … that would stand beside her in the worst of times and accept her – flaws and all. But, she did. Her life will never be the same again and she is so very thankful for that.
I had a small problem with Adam’s self-depreciation throughout the story. I understood that had a lot to do with his upbringing, his feeling of abandonment but sometimes it went a little too far. As for Cass, I felt like she really wasn’t sure what she wanted once everything that she thought she lost came back to her. I felt like she just flipped a switch from taking it slow to full speed ahead with the turn of the page. I understood taking it slow … I was confused when she changed her mind. But, Adam was a gentleman through it all and followed her lead. I was proud of the man he was and happy with the way he treated the woman who completed his dreams. He was also extremely sappy at times and I’m not sure if that enhanced the story or took away from it. I actually found myself rolling my eyes sometimes but, he got his point across and won the lady over.
All in all, I enjoyed the story and would definitely read more of the Graciella series. Sarah Ohlin did write a beautiful and enticing love story.
