Ford by Samantha ChaseMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Ford is book 7 in the 7 Brides for 7 Soldier Series. Each book in the series has been written by a different author. What I find so amazing is that you would never know that. Each book links with the other books seamlessly. This can be a stand alone but I do think you'll get a better appreciation for the series as a whole if you read the books in order.
Ford has no intentions of ever living in Eagle Ridge again. Having grown up there he knows that there is no such thing as privacy. Everyone knows everything about everyone. He's a very private person. He has come back in town temporarily repairing his grandmother's house after a tree fell on it and she is in the hospital from injuries she sustained.
Callie also grew up in Eagle Ridge but has no intentions of leaving. Her mother cleaned Ford's Grandmother's house while she was growing up as well as working a couple other jobs. She's always had a crush on Ford from a distance. She is now a kindergarten teacher living in the little cottage that is on his Grandmother's property.
What I really like about this series is that each book is a continuation of these 7 soldiers lives. We get to follow along as they live their lives. Almost like we're one of the towns people.
Due to their close proximity Callie and Ford form a friendship that builds into something more intense. Ford has made it very clear that there is no future for them and Callie is a strong enough lady that she doesn't attempt to attach any strings.
As Ford friend's like to point out to him 'for someone who never wanted to come back to Eagle Ridge you sure are here a lot'. Which is true, he doesn't miss many gatherings or celebrations.
I really love that we got to revisit with Ford as he grew up learning his construction trade from his grandfather. His grandfather taught him valuables lessons while teaching him a love for the wood.
To me Ford building Callie a dollhouse that his grandfather designed when she was 10 and for her to still have it now was their lives coming full circle. What was meant to be.
What I really love about how Samantha writes is that there always seems to be an extra warmth to her books.
