My Kaptivating 4 Star Review
“I felt like I was stuck here.
Right now I’m here because I want to be. I want to be wherever you are.”
Ford Walsh
had it all. Star quarterback in college and on the path to a great career in
the NFL, that is until he made a decision that changed his life forever.
Not being able to move forward or move on, Ford goes through
the motions of life, depressed and showing no emotions. Living back home and
working at a bar and that all changes when Poppy walks into his life.
“The question should be why you
didn’t know about these things. Your friends are too afraid to burden you with
anything upsetting, because you are so wrapped up in your own pitiful world. Is
that the kind of person you want to be, Ford?”
Poppy Mitchell wants to be a doctor. She studies hard in
school and works day and night to reach her goals. Her recent assignment as an
intern brings Ford Walsh into her life.
“After today, I don’t want you
here. I’m calling the agency for a replacement,” he growled, still facing away from me.
Slowly Ford and Poppy develop a friendship and then develop
feelings for each other that neither one of them expected. When Ford is offered
an opportunity of a life time, we he walk away from the one thing that brought
him back to life or we he go after his dream?
Being with Ford would likely blow
my mind and break my heart, because he would eventually leave. He would leave
town and he would leave me. But right now I just didn’t care.
I connected with this book and the characters immediately. Ford is so broken and lost, your heart breaks
for him. He is just dead inside, instead of living for himself and doing things
that make him happy , he is just there, he helps his mother but he isn’t
living.
Poppy is so sweet,
smart, strong and determined. She takes things with a grain of salt,
sacrificing things for the sake of others. She and Ford have an undeniable
attraction towards each other and when things get a little more serious between
them she is not sure if she can let her dreams go for the sake of his.
This story is so emotional. It is beautiful with a little
bit of humor, romance and heartache. It also makes you realize that we as
people can be our own downfall, our own worst enemy. We can also get through
just about anything when you have the love and support from those important in
your life. It is a story about crushed dreams, finding a new path and
overcoming loss and let downs.
Kirsten DeMuzio has a touchdown with this one! A must read! Beautifully
written.
