Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Ten years ago, when his relationship with his high school girlfriend was tested, Ford Landry wound up enlisting, and while he never went back, to suggest that he never looked back would be stretching the truth. Perhaps since every other woman he's encountered over those falls short of his ideal, maybe his subconscious has been trying to tell him something all along.

I've loved every single book in Adriana Locke's Landry Family series, yet to my mind, they just keep getting better and better. Written as a standalone, Ford and Ellie's dual point of view story nevertheless builds upon the shared history established in the previous novels of the series, making it all the richer for those who've read them, but even foregoing that, i'd suggest that it's a great read.

Can't wait so see what's in store for the two youngest Landry's
