One again, not a disappointment.
This book was a good conclusion to the previous two. I loved it.
It was funni/sexy/drama and everything that you want in a good book.
I don't actually want to say anything cause it will ruin the book if I say what I really wanted to say.
So after all the drama, Hope ended up exactly where she was always meant to be and where I expected her to be.
My advice: Go READ the Book and you will not be disappointed.
Thank you to Alice Bello for the amazing opportunity to read all 3books, Loved it from beginning to END!
Can't wait to read Bette's story!

Loved it
A great ending to to Hope’s story. Raphael was a great addition, and I am still in love with Jake.

Aaahhh, the ending I hoped for!
Once again, the novella felt way too short but loose ends were tied up for the most part .
I was glad to see that with a little help, Hope finally managed to make a few life-changing decisions that were way overdue, especially with regards to Janine, her horrible boss.
I particularly liked Flo. While merely a side-character, the woman had flair.
Small typos that need to be remedied but nothing too offending to the eyes. It's a quick and enjoyable read with once again non-stop action. There's always something happening and before you know it, you've reached the end already.
Lovely ending to the trilogy!

Wow what a book. As always Alice never fails to deliver. The last book in the Holding Hope trilogy as always delivered a witty, extremely humorous sexy as hell read. This book made me laugh out loud at times and also made me hot under the cover with the sexy Jake and neighbour Raphael. Hope as always go from one blunder to the next as always, but this doesn't deter Jake, he loves Hope no matter what, but will they end up together ? You'll just have to read the trilogy to find out. The only sad part for me was the book had to end. I could have read their story forever, I do hope we hear more about Jake and Hope and also about the other characters as well. You MUST read this trilogy, it's awesome, Thank you Alice for letting me review your fabulous books. Oh and the cover is well hot as well, this is how I pictured Jake in my head.

I have really enjoyed this series; it's funny with some real laugh out loud moments, and engaging, making me feel connected to the story and the colorful characters. Hope left us at the end of the last book, with two gorgeous men literally fighting over her. We start right there, and it was revealed almost immediately where each man's heart lies, and the story builds from there. Of course, Bette is back and just as bawdy as always; love her and would like to see her get her own story (and maybe we can see more of Hope and all the other characters we have grown to love). Would have enjoyed seeing more of the supporting characters as they were so interesting I wanted to know more and it could have enriched the story that much more. Thanks Alice for a fun ride.

Was glad to finally get to this book after reading the first 2. I love the quirkiness of the characters, however this book left me wanting and needing more.
I'm glad she got what she wanted, needed and deserved, however felt like it was rushed and I was wanting more, and needing to know where the story went at the end, felt unfinished.
all in all I enjoyed the book because it did get me the conclusion from the 2nd book, just really really wanted more.

3.5 stars and the ending that I hoped for. Im going to miss these characters. Chapter 5 was totally unexpected.. who would of thought? I honestly thought there was going to be a battle between Jake and Raphael... ummmm im just going to need a spinoff series or something with Bette. I need to know how this happen, when and why and I want IT to happen ;)

This was pretty good. I love Hope and was sad when things got messed up with Jake so I'm glad to see her back with him in this book. I love getting to see her insecurites and the way she deals with them. When I got to the ending I was left wanting more. If this is the end of the series it left me hanging!

Cute, short, funny romance. I was entertained and read it in a day. I loved the characters in this series they meshed well together. Hope and Jake are great and fun together and Bette is a hoot. I am sad to know the story is over.

Cute ending to a short trilogy. I definitely think all three books could have been longer and a bit more fleshed out. Also, what the heck happened with Raphael and Bette?! Inquiring minds wish to know.
