I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This book is the story of three brothers. The first two books have already been published, and the third one is the new release. The books are as follows:-
1) Hope against Hope – Georgia and Beau
2) Abandon all Hope – Crit and Ruby
3) Hope springs Eternal – Lee and Lily
Hope has done a wonderful job in the writing of this series, and I loved all of the main characters. These books express every emotion possible. If you enjoy books which are sad, suspenseful, mysterious, heartbreaking and passionate then this is a must read for you.
I highly recommend Honey’s books and look forward to reading more in the future.

This is such a great series and things were better and better as these stories progressed. I have broken up my reviews by book. This series is DEFINITELY worth the read!
Hope Against Hope, book 1
I loved this story! There is heartbreak and sadness, mystery and suspense, love and passion. I enjoyed the insight of the multiple characters. The men are hot and the women are smart. This is a wonderful beginning to this new series and I am excited to read more about the Hope brothers!
Abandon All Hope, book 2
Wow! I loved visiting the Hope family again! Crit and Ruby still have their secret relationship that causes her to question everything she feels and knows. When the rich stranger comes to town and started turning things upside down, you don't know which way things will go. Crit is strong and has been dealing with so much, I feel for him. I loved the bits of Lee and the changes in his life and Jesse working through his sadness and issues. There is heart in this story and you can't help but love it! I cannot wait to see which brother we get next!
Hope Springs Eternal, book 3
Absolutely fantastic!! I have enjoyed the bits of Lee that we have been able to see in the previous Hope Brothers books and getting to dive in to his story has been well worth the wait. He has always been a cocky player, he loves all women but he has been unsettled. Unhappy with himself, with his life and everything around him. When sad things are brought to light, it forces Lee to run away. Run from that pain and the sadness. Lily has been treated poorly by her boyfriend and her life gets tilted by him. When Lily and Lee meet, there is a pull between them, it starts slow and I love that burn. I bit my nails, I smiled and I wiped away tears as I read the journey that Lee takes to become a better man. Lily has this ability to make Lee want better things in his life and to deal with the present as a good man. Fantastic story, my favorite so far! A great depth of character and such a moving story. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!

#1 - Hope against hope:
An endearing story that I really enjoyed reading. There’s tragedy upon tragedy for the Hope family. But will it make them stronger or….?
“Sometimes, when all else fails, and there’s nothing left to do - you have to hope against hope that everything works out. And sometimes, with the help of a little bit of magic, it does.”
#2 - Abandon all hope:
The primary story is about Crit & Ruby, but all family members play a part in this sequel of The Bad Boys of Sugar Hill. It is suspenseful, has quite a bit of angst, but as to be suspected there’s a HEA for the main characters.
#3 - Hope springs eternal:
“Sometimes, all you have is hope. But if you have that, you have everything.”
This one is about Lee and Lily. And wow! I did not expect that about Lee. But it explains why he is the way he is in the previous instalments of the series.
This book is definitely the best one. I loved it and just couldn’t stop reading! So happy that Lee got his HEA, albeit not without troubles.
Lily: “This is delicious,” he said, between bites. Yes it is, I thought, my insides melting as I watched him with a smile, shamelessly staring at him as he ate.
Lee: It wasn’t just that our bodies fit together, it was that our souls fit together. I didn’t know how else to describe it, it was fucking magical. She was magical.

Exceptional storytelling of the Hope & Haggard families. I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review. If you love a good romance, secrets and suspenseful action and watching lives change for the better, then you will adore this series. I highly recommend this entertaining read. Five stars.
(1) Hope Against Hope, Book 1
Exciting story of Georgia & Beau finding love amidst mystery, tragedy, depression and fears. The accident, the fires and the rodeo fill the story with suspense, tension and drama. It all plays out like a movie in my head because of excellent writing. One feels the emotions. Five stars.
(2) Abandon All Hope, Book 2
Crit & Ruby have kept their relationship secret for years. Now Ruby is fed up and wants to go public. Crit is under so much stress that he refuses. So she resorts to jealousy to get Crit moving but unknowingly hooks up with a man filled with evil and precipitates consequences that endangers her life. That suspense will glue you to your seat. Excellent tale of love surviving incredible challenges. Five stars.
(3) Hope Springs Eternal , Book 3
In the first two books of this series, we meet Lee the black sheep of the brothers. He has a reputation of living in a whiskey bottle and bedding every skirt that crosses his path. In this book, we see him knocked to his knees by two bits of information that sends him running away to his old ways of coping with pain, booze and random women. Unexpectedly, while hiding away, he is bitten by the love bug. The "infection" starts a fever that slowly transforms his whole persona. Lily is what happens to him. This was the most lovely of romances in this series because it records the events that pushed Lee to the bottom of the well of despair and then life began to raise him up to a level of joy he never believed was possible or felt he even deserved. Five stars.

I received an ARC of Hope Brother Series for an honest review. This book contains 3 stories ( the first 2 were released separately so you are getting 3 great books for the the price of 1). First one is Beau and Georgia story. Beau has been in love with Georgia forever and finally make his move an get his HEA. But of course every great love story has some sad moments. Second book is Crit and Rubys story and also a great read. But Holy sh*t Lee's story is the best yet. In the first 2 books we as how bad he really is an I truly hated him in those. He diffently redeemed himself. He sees Lily and he finally met his one and only. I love that it took one little lady and Lee has become a better man. Of course he get some horrible new and runs away until he knows how to deal. I loved Lee's story the best so far an I hope we get Seth and Jessies stories too. Would love for Vivian and Seth together...hint hint Honey. Thank you for a great book. Happy reading. I highly recommended this book and any book written by Honey Palomino.

What a great set of books. And so handy to be able to read these all together. I read the whole book in about a day. My fave? Beau & George, b/c it was the beginning. It is where it all start, and poor George she had so much to dream for but one night it all ended.
Wonderful books, look forward to reading more about this family, and this town. Thank you Honey for gifting me a copy so I can read and review this and give you my honest review.

Great collection of books about life, family and love.
These are a collection of 3 books about the lives of the Hope family and the Haggard family. Both families are filled with hunky cowboys but the Hope family has a lonely girl added to the mix.
Come along on their journey.

The Hope and Haggard families are close and the 3 stories inter twine. There is heartache, loss, forgiveness, love found and hope.
All three stories are enjoyable. I look forward to reading more in this series.
