This heartwarming story introduces Ivy Anders and Hope Mage, two friends who are as close as sisters. Ivey is a veterinarian, who owns her own clinic, while Hope is her assistant. Ivey recently broke up with her boyfriend and has no plans to enter into another committed relationship. What she never counted on was the handsome Corbin Meyer entering her life. Soon her plans for a summer of no attachments were pushed aside.
Corbin recently discovered he fathered a ten year old boy, Justin, whose mother signed away her parental rights. Corbin relocated with the hopes of giving his son a better life.
Hope had a traumatic experience which led to her leaving home at age seventeen and relocating to Sunset, Kentucky. Her past experience made her war and distrustful of men. The last thing she expected was to meet Lang, the man who would demolish her barriers leading to her to trust in the power of love.
The Summer of No Attachments was truly an inspiring and touching story. It touched on topics such as abuse and addiction, but the lack of drama, the swoony romance and the humorous helped to keep things light. I enjoyed getting to know the characters who demonstrated immense growth throughout the story. Even Ivey's ex-boyfriend inspired me with the growth he demonstrated.
Although Corbin and Ivey were the principal couple I preferred the romance that developed between Hope and Lang. It warmed my heart to see Hope coming out of her self imposed shell and finding happiness. The moments shared between her and Lang was sweet and it had me smiling each time they made an appearance.
Justin's story will break your heart. This aspect of the story shows how the devastation drug addiction can bring to one's life. It made me happy to knowing he had family he could rely on.
Conclusion/Recommendation
Overall, a wonderful story and one I would highly recommend. Perfect for the summer. This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading
