Carter understands why Raylene is trapped inside. He's even taken to bringing the outside world to her. But with two kid sisters to raise, just how much time can he devote to this woman who's stolen his heart? Raylene knows Carter is a man worth loving, but she may never be strong enough to accept what he's offering. How long can she ask him to wait? Maybe they'll never have more than this one sweet summer.
Quote of the Book: "So if you need time, you've got it, because I know with every fiber of my being that you're worth it." -Carter Rollins.
My thoughts and opinion: Yay, I picked up another Sherryl Woods book! And isn't that cover just lovely? I thought the title was fitting for these months. I do hope I get to read all the Sweet Magnolia books but for now, I'll settle with Honeysuckle Summer.
At first glance or read, I did not like Carter that much. I hated his first impression of Raylene because how could he judge someone he didn't know? Carter had no idea what this stranger was going through and he already wanted to report her. However, Carter turned out to be a pretty nice guy and all the things that he did for her like planting the garden in the backyard were sweet and thoughtful of him. After spending time with Raylene, Carter obviously cared a lot about Raylene and he even visited her regularly which I thought was the nicest thing. He never gave up hope that Raylene would conquer her agoraphobia and that they could have a future together.
Raylene was such a strong woman and it was really great to read and follow her journey to recovery. I really loved the part when she fought off Paul; it was so courageous and inspirational. I wanted to jump up and cheer for her if it wasn't two in the morning. I thought it was extremely foolish of her to keep pushing away Carter though. Raylene knew what her heart wanted but she kept distancing herself from Carter in an attempt to be selfless. I'm glad that Carter was persistent and tried again and again to win Raylene over.
This book had some memorable and awesome parts like when Raylene stood up to Paul and when Carter helped Raylene with the salad. I thought this book was cute and funny like a baby pygmy goat. I also loved how the Sweet Magnolias looked out for Raylene and it makes me wish I grew up in a small Southern town.
Overall, I adored this book and all its lovey dovey parts. Honeysuckle Summer was a very beautiful and enjoyable read.
