When Ethan Bishop returns to the Hudson Valley, his body and spirit are a little worse for wear. As a former Special Forces paratrooper, he saw his fair share of conflict, and he came home with wounds, inside and out. At his sisters’ B & B and farm, he can keep all his pain at a safe distance. But quiet time isn’t easy when a fiery woman explodes into his life…It’s business—not pleasure—that brings Manhattan PR agent Mia Thrush reluctantly to the farm. Tightly wound and quick tempered, Mia clashes immediately with the brooding Ethan. Everything about him is irritating—from his lean muscles and piercing blue eyes to his scent of sweat and musk.But as the summer unfolds and temperatures rise, Ethan and Mia discover how much they have in common: their guarded histories, an uncontrollable desire, and a passion for the future that could heal two broken hearts. But will their pasts threaten their fragile chance at a brand-new future?

I loved this book. From the get-go this story had me captivated. I needed to know what was Ethan's story and I needed to know how a city girl that dresses only in designer cloth was going to deal with the fact that she was on a farm.
From the moment Ethan and Mia meet is one disaster after another but you also see a connection there too. You see how hard Ethan is trying to forget the past and help his sisters (while at the same time feeling guilty for going after his dreams and letting his sisters deal with the farm and B & B after their mother's death).
I liked the "antagonist" of the story (Chloe's situation) and how it makes this book feel relatable. Even when it was fictional, there are many teens that find themselves in situations just like Chloe's and they think the same; that nobody can help them and that if they try and get the help they need no one is going to understand them, or if they do understand, that things are going to get worse than they are.
I also loved Hei Hei and the old crazy people staying on the B & B with Mia and Chloe. Those characters gave us some light fun moments in the sometimes heavy, most times hot, situations. I think this book is perfect and I can't wait to read more of Probst books.
