Musician Ford Malone left Texas, without so much as a backward glance—lured by the bright lights of L.A. and the all-consuming world of rock and roll. It’s taken a while, but his star is finally starting to shine. Ready to take the world by storm with his new band, Nobody’s Fool, nothing will stand in his way. Until he sees her again… the girl he left behind.
Since the death of her parents, Sydney Aiken has had no time for romance. Her entire life now revolves around being a full-time mom to her three much-younger siblings. And even if she were interested, the last person on earth she’d get involved with would be the jerk who broke her heart and walked away seven years ago.
A chance encounter brings them face to face and as the past and present collide, Sydney is caught between protecting her family and following her heart. Seven years is a long time, and Ford has no idea he’s about to untangle a web of ugly secrets. But the only woman he’s ever loved is about to slip through his fingers…for the second time. Will he realize that only she can play the melody of his heart?
Fast Forward is a heartbreaking and beautiful second chance story about Ford and Sydney. I enjoyed reading their story and thought they were perfect for each other. However, heartache and pain from the past could ruin their future hopefully, they won’t let that happen.
Ford is an up-and-coming rock star with the group Nobody’s Fool. Sydney and Ford fell in love when they were teenagers, but misunderstandings tore them apart. Now, seven years later, they meet again.
Sydney is afraid to trust Ford again and she finds it impossible to let go of the past. I understood Sydney’s reluctance to give Ford a second chance, but I was hoping she would give in and try to forget past mistakes. I thought Ford was the perfect boyfriend. He is a thoughtful, caring, down to earth guy and he never gives up on Sydney.
Ford and Sydney are perfect for each other and I was rooting for them to work through all their issues, so they could finally be together. I found it hard to put this book down because I needed to know what would happen next. I highly recommend this tender, emotional story.
