Eternal Hope
Librarian's Note: This is an alternate cover edition, ASIN:B009P5JGFG
He loves me, he loves me not, he loves me
When your friends go missing and you don’t know if they’re dead or alive; when you tie your soul to the one you love; when you kill to protect and your family suffers, there’s only one thing you can do:
Move to Montana.
Farley Hope is special. She was prophesied to kill the forebears of her bloodline- a race of cold-blooded Reavers, men who steal the souls of the living to gain power. The Quorum had counted on Farley ending her own life in the process, but when Kayden came to her aid and helped save both her and Daniel, he undid their plans. Now the Quorum are displeased, not only with Kayden, but with Farley and Daniel too. Though her father is now dead, Farley’s troubles with the Reavers are far from over. An ancient Immortal, trapped for a thousand years, wants Farley for himself, and he will stop at nothing to claim her.
With secrets that lead to anger and pain, that turn friendship to dust, the group must overcome the problems within their own circle before they have a hope of fighting off the powers that threaten their lives.
ETERNAL HOPE contains mild language and scenes of a mild sexual nature. For readers 15+

I was extremely fortunate to get to read this book prior to publication. I absolutely loved the first book in the series ‘Sovereign Hope’ and ‘Eternal Hope’ is an astounding follow up. Continuing off right after book 1, it plunges the reader right back into Farley Hope’s tumultuous life. I won’t be giving any spoilers, my mouth is zipped! I will say, however, this book was amazing! We see Farley growing and trying to come to terms with her heritage. Daniel, her love interest gets much hotter, (is that possible?) with his finite feelings for Farley heating up the pages. We got more of Kayden, Daniel’s nemesis in a way, in the most unpredictable ways. I loved his presence in this story, his role is surprising and I admit it was perfect and added that touch of conflict for Farley to keep her on her toes.
Overall an amazing must read series! It’s packed full of the supernatural Reavers, Immundus, immortals and other not so fortunate beings. It sucked me in and made me glue myself to the kindle until I was up way past my bedtime. If you want a totally unusual take on the paranormal world without vampires, werewolves, this is it! You’ll find yourself wanting more after each book, desperate for then next book in the series. I know I am!

Eternal Hope is the second book in The Hope series by Frankie Rose. The story picks up a few weeks from the end of Sovereign Hope. Starting out in LA, Farley and company take a detour to Montana to search for their missing friends and then come full circle, landing back in LA. This installment is just as addictive as the first.
The conflict from Sovereign Hope has morphed and splintered into several new and even more complicated troubles. Everyone Farley knows is weighted down with some burden, whether it's personal or it affects everyone. We see how Farley and Daniel are handling these new crises; it's a tight rope walk of suspense and anxiety. I literally had NO fingernails left by the time I finished this book.
Gripping and emotionally charged, this tale was sometimes terrifying and yet hilarious at other points. Jam packed full of action, suspense and smoldering romance, this novel is extremely well written. The twists will make you gasp out loud and break your heart all while keeping you riveted to the narrative unfolding before you. It is like being on a roller coaster with a blindfold so you can't see the dips and drops coming; there is nothing predictable about this book.
I love these characters. Farley is as impressive as ever, evolving as she tries to adapt to her ever-changing life. Daniel is just as focused on protecting her from anything that could take her away from him. I really enjoyed learning more about Kayden; he's a hugely intriguing character and we find out more about his troubled history with Daniel. Frankie Rose has created these wonderfully real characters who you simply want to know and have around in your life.
I think one of my very favorite things about Farley is she never moans “Why me?” and she doesn't shrink away from her reality, no matter how dicey it gets. She does her best to roll with the changes and she NEVER gives up. We definitely need more heroines like her in the YA universe.
Frankie Rose has crafted a highly addictive series and I cannot wait to get my hands on the final installment in this trilogy.

This review also appears on my blog http://ravelinssanctuary.blogspot.ca/
Eternal Hope is a very well written book, filled with action, plot twists, and a some very steamy sexy romance. *Fans self* Eternal Hope has a perfect blend of lovable/hated characters and a steady plot line that will hold you in its grips right through to the end. I can honestly say I stayed up well into the night reading, sacrificing my sleep (who needs sleep anyway) until I was finished. I really didn't want it to be over. Frankie Rose takes you on an action packed journey with twists even I never saw coming. Heck even things I thought I had figured out were completely wrong. And saying that is something, there are not many books that I don't have at least 3/4 of it figured out before I get to the end. Well done, Frankie, well done!
So first off we have Farley. This fiesty little package of womanhood is one gigantic force to be reconned with. Sure she might not be the best fighter, but she is willing to learn. And yeah she doesn't know that much about herself and what she can do but that won't stop her from trying to protect those she loves at all costs, using whatever ability she has in her possession. Farley is a girl well worth the time getting to know. I truly admire her spunk and ability to get out of sticky situations. The best thing about Farley is that she still has compassion and believes that even though someone is "evil" that there might still be a way to save them. Farley is a girl who knows her mind and sticks to her guns. She is no wishy washy heroine. If that is the way it is, then that is the way it will be. She will do anything in her power to make it happen.
Now for the swoonage ladies. Daniel, ah Daniel. Where oh where did Frankie create this beautiful creature. Daniel is the perfect blend of alpha male, who still manages to be shy is so many ways. Sure he can be one sarcastic son of a gun, but when he is with Farley he is a whole different person. I can admit that in Sovereign Hope I had my doubts about him, but he sure made me a believer! Daniel is yet another complex character that will have you wondering what is really going on. Though we do get a tiny peek into his head with several of his PoV's it is still rather vague as to what happened between him and a certain messenger. Daniel will keep you guessing about his past, but never about his feelings for Farley. The one part, it had me teary. It was heartwarming to see him doubt her feelings for him. To hear him talk to her and be so unsure... *sighs* Really it is one of the things that had me in love with him the most. Daniel is my newest book boyfriend, I am never giving him up, EVER!
There are not many authors out there that can take a YA sexy scene and make it either too chaste or too skanky, but Frankie Rose sure can. Her steamy scenes will have your pulse racing and melting into a pile of goo. Eternal Hope has tons of action for those who love to be well entertained. This installment to The Hope series was everything I hoped it would be and more. I am really kicking my butt for letting it sit so long on my kindle without being read. If you love alpha boys who melt your heart and heroines who know what they want and go for it, this is your series. So, what I am saying is, why have you not bought it yet? Oh and when is part three coming out. Must have it now!

Where to start with this review....
OMG I just have to say that I absolutely love The Hope Series! The author has done an excellent job of weaving a story that captures you right from the beginning. Eternal Hope starts off right where Sovereign Hope ended. Daniel and Farley have killed Farley's father and brothers with the help of Kayden. They are trying to see if they can find their friends who fought with them and try and find Agatha. Farley is so torn up about losing Aldan that she can't stand to think she has lost Agatha to. So Daniel tells her they are going to follow a lead and see if they can find Agatha.
Once Daniel has the plans solid he and Farley and Tess and Oliver go off to the place where they think they will find answers. Only when they get there they find more than answers. Farley is thrown a curve ball with Daniel and his past and what she is told and what she sees will break her heart. She will have to decide what her feelings are for Daniel and whether or not they are worth it. She will meet some people who are angry and have secrets of their own that they are keeping and when the truth comes out to Farley she will have to decide who to trust and who not to trust.
As if that is not the worst of it Kayden helped them and they help him in return only to find out that the Quorum wants Kayden back. My heart bleed and I cried when I read about Kayden. I really do love him as a character and he really does deserve a second chance because he made a mistake and he has been paying for that mistake all this time. Kayden lives with the shame and the guilt and pain of what he has done and he is ready to move on. But will Daniel forgive him?
Poor Daniel has not had very good luck with communication and he does not know how to tell Farley how he is feeling. He is about to lose her and he knows it but he still can't face the past to move on to the future. Daniel has a good heart but he better get to stepping up to the plate or someone else will take that plate for him. He is so desperate to find Agatha to that he sometimes forgets about Farley. That is until she starts having her visions again and passing out. He is angry with himself because he can't help her when she is having these episodes.
One thing is for sure there is an evil presence that is lurking and waiting to kill Farley. He wants Farley and will stop at nothing to get her. He is an ancient immortal and he is reeking havoc in Farley and Daniels life. What will happen to Farley? Will she be taken by this evil immortal? What will happen with Kayden? Will the Quorum still continue to punish him? What will Daniel do? What is he willing to sacrifice?
This is an epic sequel to this series and I need book three already! Lord I can't wait to read it!

***Do not read this review if you have not read Sovereign Hope(book 1.) It may contain spoilers***
OH MY GOODNESS, YOU GUYS!!!!!! Let me start off by giving you a run down on my feelings of this series. The first book, Sovereign Hope, was enjoyable. I liked the new twist that the author gives on immortals. It was a fresh look on something that has been done a lot. My only complaint about the first book was there wasn't enough romance for my taste. Well, ladies and gents, my prayers have been answered. I LOVED THIS BOOK! There's a lot more romance in this book...I mean A LOT MORE!! Come to momma! I love when there is a good balance of paranormal as well as romance. I can't contain my excitement! I wish I could make everyone read these books...like right now.
In the second installment, Farley leaves with Daniel to Montana. She is no longer safe in her home with the Immundus still after her. Her relationship with Daniel is closer than it was in the first book. He almost seems like a new man. And boy does he get protective over Farley....so sexy. Farley has another one of her visions and comes face to face with an old immortal, one that has been locked away for centuries. His name is Simeon, the immortal that created the first whyte. He thinks that Farley may be the vessel that he needs to bring back his dead wife's soul. Not everything is as it seems in book two. There are a lot of plot twists that I didn't see coming. There's also a little sliver of a love triangle. Not an annoying one, I actually found it quite funny. Maybe because I have a sick sense of humor sometimes :-)
I kinda have the hots for Kayden, too. I hope I get to read more about him in the next book. I really liked Farley in this book. She is a lot like myself, stubborn and doesn't listen. LOL She kicks ass a few times. I'm looking forward to what she will do in the next one.
After reading this book, I realized that I have a huge girl crush on Frankie Rose. I want to hug and kiss her because I loved it so much. Plus she's totally hot!! And I say this in a total non-homosexual way. She rocked my world. Now I'm going to have to be on the look-out for the next book.

La historia empieza poco tiempo después de donde quedó en el libro anterior, para después presentarnos a un montón de personajes nuevos que no aportan mucho a la trama más allá de ser unos clichés andantes. La ex novia guapísima, la venenosa también guapísima, el hombre mayor confiable con alguna manía en particular. Hubiera preferido que la autora le diera más trasfondo a los personajes que ya nos había presentado al final del primer libro, pero todos los desaparecidos se quedan desaparecidos exceptuando un párrafo o dos donde los protagonistas los recuerdan (que bueno que eran sus amigos, eh) y nos enteramos qué fue de ellos.
Esta vez la trama no es tan enfocada. Vemos un poco de las consecuencias del enfrentamiento contra los Reavers y los nuevos poderes de Farley y lo que eso significa para Daniel, pero fuera de eso no pasa gran cosa. El misterio de los sueños de Farley se extiende demasiado y el enfrentamiento con el supuesto malo de turno resulta anticlimático por lo apresurado. Ah, y un chico encantador se enamora de la protagonista (cosa completamente inexplicable, considerando que NO pasan tanto tiempo juntos y Farley NO es tan carismática), otro personaje del que me gustaría saber más, porque lo poco que nos cuentan solo nos deja con ganas de ahondar más. Eternal Hope sufre del mal de las secuelas, algo de relleno para conducir al tercero, que esperemos sea mejor.
El nivel de inglés de este libro es intermedio. Se lee fácil.
Lo Mejor
Kayden es personaje muy interesante que agrega bastante interés a la trama, gracias a su triste pasado y su personalidad magnética.
Lo Peor
La autora parece más interesada en que Farley haga pucheros celosos y quiera que Daniel le meta mano a desarrollar una trama cohesiva y no tan apresurada.

Sovereign Hope, the first book in The Hope Series, quickly became one of my favorite reads of the year. Needless to say, I was anxious to get my hands on Eternal Hope. As with most series that you fall in love with you always hope that the author doesn't disappoint with next installment. Frankie Rose did not disappoint me. She thrilled me yet again.
We pick back up in the lives of Farley, Daniel, Tess and Oliver as they search for information on their missing friends and allies, who were lost in the battle to save both Farley and Daniel's lives as they fought the Reavers. The journey takes them from Los Angeles to Montana and a few new Scooby gang members enter the story line. Along with one old one, Kayden.
The Quorum, a group intrusted to keep balance in the world, is taking an extremely active role in the lives of this group; controlling and manipulating them with every trick they can come up with. They have taken on the roles of puppet masters and not all the puppets are completely aware.
While Daniel and Farley must weed through the troubles with the Quorum and the Reavers, they must also figure out their own relationship. They are undeniably drawn to each other and very much in love but there are other factors to consider. The relationship between these two deepens and grows and we are able to get a taste of Daniel that was barely seen in Sovereign Hope. He's much less guarded with his feelings toward Farley and there was a sweetness to him that was quite captivating.
We also get a much larger dose of Kayden and Tess. For that, Frankie, I thank you. I love them both and they rank pretty high up on my all time favorite book character list. Tess is a spunky little smart ass and a fierce friend. Everyone needs a Tess in their lives. Kayden is a big cup of snark with just a spoonful of melancholy swirled in. He too is a fierce friend and will risk everything for those he cares for.
In my review of Sovereign Hope, I stated that Frankie writes like a movie playing in my head. I still hold to those words. I so easily picture an action packed thrill ride blockbuster when I read her words. I thoroughly enjoyed Eternal Hope and very much look forward to Lost Hope, as well as anything and everything else Frankie Rose writes in the future.

From the very first chapter Eternal Hope grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let you go. I think I enjoyed this book more than the first, Sovereign Hope. The story picks up a few weeks after Sovereign Hope, with the group looking for their friends who have been missing for some time which leads them to Montana. If you thought Farley has faced some scary people before, you will be shocked at the latest threat; an ominous entity that will stop at nothing to get a hold of Farley. I was surprised with the twist Frankie throws in. I felt sympathy for this evil, which I don’t think I have for any other villain. This threw me a little, but once you read Eternal Hope you will understand what I’m talking about.
I loved the addition of Kaydens character; he brings an extra element to the story. He’s almost the comic relief, with snappy one liners and a cheeky demeanour. We find out more about his and Daniels past, which is quite heartbreaking. I love Daniel, but Kayden now his own spot in my heart.
Farley grows a lot during Eternal Hope. She’s already a down-to-earth, grounded eighteen year old who has dealt with more than most people could ever imagine. She has a backbone and works through her fear to face her problems and enemies. Daniel and Farley’s relationship is explored a whole lot more. They’re flawed people who carry a lot of baggage, but it gives them a feeling of realness, like they were a random couple you might meet on the street. Daniel is broken is many ways, he’s been treated awfully during his life, some of it incredibly cruel and you wonder how he’s not a complete lunatic. You’ll love him even more.
We get to learn more about Oliver and Tess, plus some new characters. I loved reading about all their relationships and how they interact with one another. The conflict between some of them is interesting and it’s great reading through their little, and big, problems with one another. Frankie blends all these characters and their personalities into the story seamlessly.
Eternal Hope is a fantastic second installment to the Hope Series, full of action and drama. It’s a unique paranormal world and Frankie should be commended at how well it works. The wait for book three is going to drive me nuts. I need more of these characters!

Eternal Hope is the second book in The Hope series by Frankie Rose. The story picks up a few weeks from the end of Sovereign Hope. Starting out in LA, Farley and company take a detour to Montana to search for their missing friends and then come full circle, landing back in LA. This installment is just as addictive as the first.
The conflict from Sovereign Hope has morphed and splintered into several new and even more complicated troubles. Everyone Farley knows is weighted down with some burden, whether it's personal or it affects everyone. We see how Farley and Daniel are handling these new crises; it's a tight rope walk of suspense and anxiety. I literally had NO fingernails left by the time I finished this book.
Gripping and emotionally charged, this tale was sometimes terrifying and yet hilarious at other points. Jam packed full of action, suspense and smoldering romance, this novel is extremely well written. The twists will make you gasp out loud and break your heart all while keeping you riveted to the narrative unfolding before you. It is like being on a roller coaster with a blindfold so you can't see the dips and drops coming; there is nothing predictable about this book.
I love these characters. Farley is as impressive as ever, evolving as she tries to adapt to her ever-changing life. Daniel is just as focused on protecting her from anything that could take her away from him. I really enjoyed learning more about Kayden; he's a hugely intriguing character and we find out more about his troubled history with Daniel. Frankie Rose has created these wonderfully real characters who you simply want to know and have around in your life.
I think one of my very favorite things about Farley is she never moans “Why me?” and she doesn't shrink away from her reality, no matter how dicey it gets. She does her best to roll with the changes and she NEVER gives up. We definitely need more heroines like her in the YA universe.
Frankie Rose has crafted a highly addictive series and I cannot wait to get my hands on the final installment in this trilogy. ~Mel

Frankie Rose ALWAYS writes the most amazing stories filled to the brim with excitment, swoon-worthy boys, kick-ass girls, menacing villians (who you can't help but find a soft spot for), and then there is Daniel (that name alone is said with a sweet sigh). Oh, yah and we can't forget bff's that are amazing and brilliant and where can I get a Tess? I can't wait for Frankie's next excellent book because she is a sure thing:) Happy reading everybody.

The first book in this series, Sovereign Hope, is making my Best Books of 2012 list hands down, so I was biting my nails in anticipation for the release of this one. And it does not disappoint. The plot, characters, and world building are so incredibly well-crafted; it’s hard to believe it’s not actually real. Plus, Frankie Rose writes some of the best kickass action scenes.
I love Frankie’s writing! The narration is entirely relatable. She weaves in the side stories seamlessly. Not too much or too little, and she places them exactly where they belong. And the pacing – another flawless execution. Everything is where it ought to be…we garner new information at the precise time; it is all just so perfectly balanced.
I don’t want to spoil the plot, but it is completely engaging. There is so much that goes down in this book; it’s not just filler like a lot of second novels in a series. It’s full of action and suspense, yet there are also nice amounts of character development and fresh revelations. And, then there is the romance…
I absolutely adore Farley and Daniel together. There are moments between them that sizzle off the pages and left me fanning myself. However, the romance doesn’t overpower the story in these books. Farley and Daniel have actual communication; it’s not just a bunch of getting lost in each other’s eyes and drooling over one another. They aren’t so busy with each other that they completely (and ignorantly) neglect the events happening around them. So refreshing.
Then there’s Kayden. He wasn’t present in a lot of the first book and he is awesome, so I’m happy to report there is MUCH more of him in this installment! We find out what the tension between Daniel and him is all about. I mean, wow, no wonder Daniel is so on edge around him. Not that I dislike Kayden, obviously…what happened between them is horrible, but it was long ago and I forgave it.
I also thoroughly enjoyed learning more about Simeon (a Reaver introduced in the first book who accidentally turned his wife into a vicious creature while trying to save her). Simeon and his wife’s story is heartbreaking and I felt so bad for him. And Aggie! Oh, Aggie. I can’t actually talk about her, because it would majorly spoil it, but I love her so much! I’ll just say she is one of the friends mentioned in the synopsis that disappeared and we learn what happens with all that in this book.
To top it all off, the ending is perfectly setup for the third book. It’s satisfying while still maintaining an edge of anticipation. I could literally go on all day about how wonderful this book is, but I’ll refrain because you need to read it for yourself. :)
So yeah. This book is made of win. It is completely absorbing. If you haven’t started this series yet, then what the heck are you waiting for?! Really, I highly recommend it to not only the target YA audience, but adults too.

Eternal Hope was an action packed sequel to Sovereign Hope. It picks up where Sovereign Hope ended. The conflicts surrounded Farley were multiplied in this book and complications surrounding the people in her group only added to the overall conflict.
I love Farley’s character and she definitely didn’t disappoint me in this book. She’s tough and insecure, a combination I find to be realistic and refreshing. She’s not overly tough and somehow amazing at everything, nor is she overly weak and second guessing her every move. She’s right in the middle, bracing herself for the challenges ahead. She’s the kind of character I feel I could be friends with and I love that. I love Daniel’s character, too. In the first book, he was really strange and hard to crack open for the majority of the story and it took him awhile to really admit to himself that he was falling for Farley. In this book, it’s all out in the open and there’s no conflict regarding the fact that they are together, which I liked. I enjoyed watching the two of them learn how to be together and how to work together as a couple and how to steal moments in the midst of a crisis. It’s like book one was building up to a relationship and book two is building a relationship foundation between the two of them. Different, but totally enjoyable. The rest of the characters, both old and new, were great. I loved being introduced to some of the new characters and I liked seeing how the old characters changed. There was a lot more depth to Kayden’s character, too. There were some people I wished hadn’t changed so much and others that I couldn’t stand from the beginning, but they all had their own dynamics and felt realistic and well developed.
What I loved the most about Sovereign Hope was the unique plot, which became complex and even more interesting in Eternal Hope. All of the characters grew as the events changed them and there were consequences to earlier decisions. I have read too many paranormal books that create a separate plot in sequels that barely connect to the first and I loved that the plot in Eternal Hope was a mixture of the evolution of events and consequences of decisions made while figuring out how to escape the conflicts in book one.
Eternal Hope was just as good as or even better than Sovereign Hope and I will definitely continue to series. The author does a wonderful job of crafting a good story. The plot and the characters are complex and ever changing and I also love the way she writes. I definitely recommend this book/series to people looking for a unique paranormal romance with great characters. It’s a bit more mature than a lot of YA since Farley is 18, but it’s also not an adult paranormal romance, either.

Eternal Hope is the second book in Frankie Rose’s Hope Series. We pick up the story a short time after the end of Sovereign Hope. For those who do not remember my review on Sovereign Hope, here is a brief background.
Farley Hope, who is only 18, is part of a prophecy that will destroy the evil Reavers, who are immortals that take the soul of others, and they cannot be killed. As the Reavers try to kill Farley, she is kept safe by Agatha and Daniel, who are part of group trying to stop the Reavers. In Eternal Hope, Farley and Daniel, as well and Tess and Oliver are hiding from the Reavers, as we see them leave L.A. to meet up with Daniel’s friends in Montana. Agatha, who was one of Farley’s main protectors, is still missing.
The romance between Farley and Daniel is very much real and hot, though neither of them dare to act on their feelings, with so much danger surrounding them. The trip to Montana, brings in new characters in this book, Cassie, Anna, Gray, and also has a bigger role for Kayden, who is a great character.
There is so much going on in this book, with the battle between Daniel and his friends; Farley & Daniel; the Immundus and the Reavers; Kayden and Daniel; and Farley and Simeon. At times it was a bit slow early on, trying to understand what exactly was happening and why. Farley has her visions often, as she is pulled into the dream world of the powerful old Reaver, Simeon, who wants Farley for his own ulterior motives.
There was a lot of action & suspense, within all stories evolving in this book; Why did Daniel and Kayden hate each other? Was Simeon real, and why did he want Farley? Agatha.. is she now good or bad? Why has Oliver changed? So many questions, and yes Frankie Rose does answer all of them by the end.
There were a lot of surprises, twists, betrayals, and the wonderful romance between Farley and Daniel. I thought Farley was an even better tough kick assed heroine in this book, and it was nice to see a more loving Daniel in this book. They make a great couple.
One of the best things about this series, is the wonderful characters that Frankie Rose has created..Farley, Daniel, Kayden, Tess and Oliver. You care about them, and you root for them to stay together and survive. The last quarter of the book was very exciting, and I found Eternal Hope to be an excellent read. If you have not read this series, you must start with Sovereign Hope first, in order to truly understand the storyline.

Review:
Let me start by saying that Frankie Rose really has delivered in this one. I really thoroughly enjoyed the first book in this series, Sovereign Hope. Of all the books I’ve had review requests for in the past, it was definitely one of my favourites. I was really, really excited when I got offered a copy of this one for review, and though I got to it later than I’d planned, I definitely wasn’t disappointed!
This one more or less picks up where the first book leaves off, and we’re left back in the capable hands of Farley, Daniel, Tess and the others in their fight against the Reavers and the darkness within. It’s definitely an exciting, anxiety filled ride, and it’s a combination of that and the fact that the characters are all lovable and relatable that makes this book completely addicting!
This one definitely has more Farley and Daniel, for which I am very thankful – I like how their relationship is moving along, and that they don’t ignore the fact that there are various troubles making it not-perfect, and that even if Daniel wants to ignore them, Farley is definitely concerned by them. I like the way that they’re constantly simmering around one another – the charge they seem to be feeling between themselves is even palpable for the reader, which I think is a sign of the good writing. Definitely left me fanning myself a few times – I need a man like Daniel I think!
I also liked the addition of more fleshed out other characters – for example, we see a lot more of Tessa, Kayden and Greyson, though the characters from the first book which are less involved this time around aren’t forgotten, which I think definitely helps with the continuity of the story.
I’m aware this isn’t one of my most coherant reviews, but that’s because I need the third book. Much like the first, this one leaves us on a cliffhanger, and I really can’t wait to see what comes next for Farley and Daniel!
I’d honestly recommend this series to just about anyone – it’s definitely got my love!
Overall rating: 5/5

If most of you remember I had the astounding pleasure to review Sovereign Hope, book one in The Hope Series! It literally had me finishing the book within a few hours, so when I was approached by Frankie once again to participate in the Eternal Hope tour how could I say no! I was anxious and excited when I got the book, I at first didn't even want to start it because I knew that once I started I wouldn't be able to finish.
And that is exactly what happened...
In Eternal Hope we find out beloved characters still on the run while meeting some new and then reuniting with some old. It was an amazing book that you will not want to put down, I couldn't get enough of Daniel and Kayden! Both men are swoon worthy and just need a book by themselves (Frankie do this for me and I will scream your name at the top of my lungs downtown from where I live!) lol. Okay but back to serious business here people, TWO not one, swoon worthy man in Eternal Hope, plus some amazing twists you would not believe! Towards the end I was dumbfounded to find out some of the things, it literally had me looking back for clues or anything I might have missed to not have seen it coming!
Once again I found myself pulling on my hair at the end because I am in NEED of the third book already, it is not just a matter or wanting it, it is a NEED for the third book! You can not just finish the book like THAT and not expect me to what the next one!
So I guess you all must be wondering....does she recommend it or not? As if it were not obvious enough, YES! GO OUT AND GET THIS BOOK!
You will not be disappointed! And if you haven't read Sovereign Hope I sincerely hope that after this you will go take a look at my review of it, which you can find here > Sovereign Hope by Frankie Rose
I just want to take a moment to say Thank you to Frankie for writing this amazing series and letting me be apart of it all!

How much do I love Frankie Rose and her Hope series?!? I just finished reading book 2 and it was just as awesome as the first!
The number one thing that I really like about Frankie’s writing is the simplicity and to-the-point-ness of it. Some of the indie authors I read put too much in the story, whether it’s too many words or scenes that seem irrelevant. Frankie doesn’t do that at all. Every scene, every dialogue, even every steamy moment, has a purpose within the grand scheme of things. And that just adds to the experience of reading the book; knowing that everything matters.
I think I liked the plot of this book more than the first. There’s an established relationship, not without its problems; they travel around the country a bit; there are new characters, both good and bad; and the storyline is exciting and full of suspense. There were a lot of things that surprised me, too. There’s nothing not to like!
I found that Daniel was the character that changed the most from the first book to this one. He was emotionally reserved and hard-headed throughout the first book. In Eternal Hope we got to see a softer, more romantic, side of Daniel. He still had moments of emotional withdrawal and other moments where he really kicked some ass, but overall he seemed to have many more sides than before.
I feel like this review is very vague, but there are so many things that happen and I don’t want to give anything away. I just want you to read it! And I just want to read the next book in the series. Frankie! When does Lost Hope come out?!?
Thanks to Frankie for the ebook review copy!

Picking up only a few weeks from where Sovereign Hope left off, Eternal Hope is exciting, engaging, full of all the things I loved about the first book times ten. Daniel is even more swoon-worthy, Farley is strong, likable and not about to get stomped on by anyone or anything. There is more danger on the horizon for Farley and Daniel and Frankie writes some amazing fast and furious action-packed scenes that leave you breathless. Tess is the best friend everyone wishes they had and gives the perfect amount of comedic relief right when you need it and the new characters we are introduced to in this book are just as exciting as the characters we already love.
This time around Daniel and Farley are a solid unit ready to battle any dangers together. I never would have thought that one of the dangers would have been from some unfinished business from Daniel himself. Frankie throws in a bit a of a wrench to their new, fragile relationship that I did not see coming. And speaking of love... holy hotness... there was quite a bit of bow chicka wow between Daniel and Farley and I am hoping the next installment brings us some bow chicka wow wow if you know what I mean ;) Keep the hot stuff coming Frankie... LOVE IT!
If you haven't read the first book in the series Sovereign Hope, order your copy now. As the second book proves, this series is only going to get better and better. The way Frankie weaves her words together to create a story that leaves you wanting more is an amazing talent, and one you don't want to ignore because I promise you will devour every word!

I enjoyed “Eternal Hope” even more than I enjoyed the first book in the series. The book picks up right were the first one leaves off. Daniel, Farley, Tess and Oliver are searching for Agatha, Beatty, Brynn and Cliff but end up staying with other friends while the search continues. Farley never imagined her welcome to the new home would be Cassie running up to Daniel and kissing him. What’s even worse is that Cassie and Daniel made pact and now that Farley is in the picture Daniel doesn’t know how to tell Cassie she won’t get what she wants. Bigger problems are on the horizon as The Quorum leader has changed in an unexpected way and Kayden; who risked his life to save Daniel and Farley now has to pay the price in more ways than one. Farley learns about Daniel and Kayden’s past and what tore them apart. Simeon believes Farley is the one who can bring his wife back but he’s trapped in two worlds; in one he’s reasonable and in the other he’s causing havoc. Daniel and Farley learn that one cannot exist without the other and Kayden must face his feelings. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for an exciting paranormal read that will have you hooked. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series.

Eternal Hope is the second book in The Hope Series by Frankie Rose. So if you haven't read Sovereign Hope then you want to read that first. Eternal Hope started out slow for me, but once I got about a third of the way through the book, the pace picked up and I didn't want to put it down! I felt like I really got to know Daniel better in this book, whereas in Sovereign Hope he is more of mystery. Farley and Daniel's relationship grows and it is nice to see it develop. I loved the fast-pace towards the end and some total surprises that I didn't see coming! Eternal Hope will take you on a wild ride and leave you in a place you didn't expect! I was sad for the cliff-hanger, I want all of my questions answered now! I look forward to book three and hope it comes out soon! Four stars! (This book contains mild cussing)
I received a copy of this book for free and this is my honest review.

I loved this sooo much. It's a sequel to sovereign Hope and is super Good !! Farley is still being hunted by the Reavers but now for different reason.... Love. A very old reaver is now after her while Tess is having troubles of her own dealing with Oliver, Farley's brother. While Daniele does all he can to protect Farley. And Agatha is missing and nowhere to be seen?
It introduces new great characters and goes intoore depth of Kayden and Daniele's relationship. If you like the first book then you'll fall in love with this book. It has more romance between Farley and Daniele and a great plot that you really have to listen to if you want to understand. I fell inlove with this book and wish there was more like it!! I also fell in love with Daniele; super hot and powerful but sometimes too protective.
If anybody has recommendation for a book please t comment below? Something with Romance, action, and fictional! Thanks so much!

I got this book on a recommendation from a friend, who loved it so much I had to try it out. So glad I did. What an adrenaline rush. I hadn’t read Sovereign Hope (the first in the series), but the author did a great job of making this a stand-alone. I loved Farley! What an awesome, strong female character. She grits her way through some really hair-raising experiences, dealing with the Quorum and the Reavers, all the while trying to figure out her relationship with the gorgeous Daniel. There’s a bit of a love-triangle but I’m Team Daniel all the way. I would snap him up in a second. I also love Tess. She’s such a scene-stealer and great comedic relief that the book lights up whenever she appears. I’m absolutely going back to read Sovereign Hope now, and counting the days till Lost Hope comes out. I need to see how this all plays out!

OMG - I cannot believe all that happened in this book! Talk about non-stop action! Every turn of a page had another possible enemy showing up out of nowhere or a major twist that made me scream, "NO FREAKIN' WAY", or some other surprise that I absolutely never saw coming! Those moments of pure love and adoration between Farley & Daniel are all that kept me sane while reading this. Daniel just kills me with some of the things he says to Farley that are so un-Daniel-like. Getting to see inside his heart and soul a little bit is just magic! And if anyone deserves his unfailing love, it's Farley. She's so loyal and worthy. I have faith they will somehow make it through the total hell that they continually deal with!

The first half of this book was pretty boring on and off and then after the middle, things got interesting quick. In so many ways this was a better book than the first one. I have mixed feelings about Kayden. I kind of like him, a lot but I don't know if he would be the right person for Farley. I'm honestly not sure if the boy, Daniel, whom Farley is with now is right for her either. It's kind of a complicated book full of action and emotions.

It's ok. Ended better than I thought it would. I was nervous toward the 2/3 mark- it looked like it would take a turn down lame lane. Lots of pages taken up with endless make out scenes. If that's ur thing, awesome. It's not for me so much. A few are fine, but too many and they lose effectiveness. I like seeing more of kayden. Not sure I like the plot twist pushed on him. Seems cliched. Still better then most books for the $. And at 400+ pages u certainly get ur money worth in that dept.

Daniel=Swoon
Sigh. Daniel.
I love Daniel.
This book was even better than the first. It was full of drama, adventure, romance, and unexpected surprises. I LOVED IT! I seriously cannot wait until I can read more Daniel and Farley. I love that the two of them can be so powerful.
Kayden has a small piece of my heart that is quickly growing.
And can I just say...I had NO idea getting/giving a haircut could be so sexy. I've obviously been doing it all wrong for years.

I love Frankie's writing and her books--they are fantastical but relevant, exciting and absorbing, stand-alone but thrillingly intertwined. Entertaining, too. Dig into the Hope Series, as I am doing right now, and like me you won't be able to put it down!

Lots of romance, awesome book. Totally looking forward to the next book. I want to thank the author for not throwing in the triangle in there. I see something developing with kayden, but I am pretty sure it is not strong enough to cause any damage to Daniele and Farley's relationship.

I loved the love story between Farley and Daniel. The thing I didn't like, though, was that the individual premise felt very jumbled and almost confusing. I wasn't sure what was going on half the time.
