Blurb

Mary Ann Rivers continues her Burnside family series—perfect for readers of Kristan Higgins, Jill Shalvis, and Ruthie Knox—as two people try to share their hearts without losing their cool.
Dr. Sam Burnside is convinced that volunteering at an urban green-space farm in Lakefield, Ohio, is a waste of time—especially with his new health clinic about to open. He only goes to mollify his partner, suspecting she wants him to lighten up. Then Sam catches sight of Nina Paz, a woman who gives off more heat than a scorcher in July. Her easy smile and flirty, sizzling wit has him forgetting his infamous need for control.
Widowed when her husband was killed in Afghanistan, Nina has learned that life exists to take chances. As the daughter of migrant workers turned organic farmers, she’s built an exciting and successful business by valuing new opportunities and working hard to take care of her own. But when Sam pushes for a relationship that goes beyond their hotter-than-fire escapades, Nina ignores her own hard-won wisdom. She isn’t ready for a man who needs saving—even if her heart compels her to take the greatest risk of all: love.

Review


I've never read anything by Mary Ann Rivers but really liked the blurb on the book. At the beginning of the story I felt I was missing something and I think that was due to the fact that this is book 2 of the series. After a while I did get more into the story and figured out the characters. I liked Sam very much at the same time that I wanted to smack him. He was a really good confusing character. I enjoyed Nina's quick wit. She didn't let Sam push her buttons. She is a fighter. I will have to go back and read the first book because I liked this one so much.
