I don't know where to start, because I LOVED everything about this book. The Abbott family is so wonderful. They are all so boisterous, loving, caring, and some are even outlandish at times, but as far as I'm concerned...they are the kind of family most people dream of having.
This is book #4 of the series involving Hunter who is the oldest of ten children in the Abbott family. He is also completely different from all of the rest of his family members. He's always so serious, responsible, hard working, and really....sort of quiet and reserved. But that's not all...while everyone else dresses in jeans and flannel shirts, Hunter always dresses like he's just stepped in from a GQ photo shoot, no matter what the occassion may be.
Hunter been infatuated with Megan (the waitress who works at her sisters diner across the street) for years and years, but she has always had her sites set on his brother Will. He leaves work really late one night only to find Megan crying her heart out, right behind the family business. After consoling her, he offers to share his Pizza and salad with him back at his house. After she calms down they eat and then they talk things out. But Hunter notices that she is trying to keep him at a distance. After years of waiting in the wings, he's not about to let that happen. This is his chance to finally make her, his. He's bound and determined to find a way to crash through those walls. He's waited for years for the chance to get close to her, and he's ready and willing climb mountains to scale those walls she's built around her, if he has to.
Megan is reluctant to get involved with anyone right now. Everyone she's ever loved has either died or just left her behind. Her parents died in a car crash one snowy night when she was still a senor in high school. Her older sister, Nina was finishing her senoir year in college when this all went down. One night Nina and her husband told her that they have decided to move to France, after he was offered a teaching position, and that they will be leaving in a little over a weeks time. That means she'll not only be left all alone again, but she'll also be out of a job, too. Her heart can't take anymore hurt, so keeping her distance from everyone is the only way she knows how to survive. Hunter may be kind, understanding, funny, and very good looking, but he's also has the ability to break her heart if she lets him get to close. That's not going to happen, if she has anything to say about it.
Like I stated up above; I loved everything about this book, but I don't want to say too much for fear of giving away the story. I will say that I loved the inneraction between these two throughout the whole book, and the sparks that flew between the two of them whenever they were in the same room, could have easily started a huge firestorm. And OMG....their adventure to "The Pigs Belly" had me rolling on the floor one minute, and fanning myself the next.
I love this series because even though this story is basically focused on mainly this particular couple, Marie let's us also catch back up with the people in the past books, too. All the lovable seconary characters, all help to make this series very interesting at times, too. Lincoln and Elmers scheming against the children's backs. The bickering between the children (all in good nature, of course) just makes it all seem so much more real. If any of you come from a big family, like I do, then you know what I mean. And then there's Molly, who rules the roost like a drill sargent, and Fred who is always so hysterical!
I can't wait to read the next book, so don't make us wait to long, Marie. Please? I highly recommend this book, as well as this whole series, to everyone.

... read a Marie Force Story that I haven't totally loved. Her characters are so addictive
