You know what spoilt this book? It was the countless reference to him being with ow during separation (don’t care if he had amnesia) and how heroine was actually friends later on with two women he had been with. I actually felt sick at the fact that even when he found out he was still technically married to heroine there was no mention of him feeling guilt about sleeping with ow. I know he had amnesia but surely considering he remembered how much he loved/loves heroine there would have been some mention of feeling guilt about unknowingly being unfaithful? He even forgave his grandfather and his best friend for never telling him about heroine. Everything was wrapped with sugar and heroine was a perfect martyr who just easily got passed her husband sleeping with more than 10 women excluding the club whores whom he obviously couldn’t even count the numbers! According to him though he’s no manwhore but yes whatever. I believe heroine was celibate and she was too happy to have her husband back to be upset about her husband having slept with ow and also being around the clubwores all of whom I’m sure he slept with. Sorry her bring all ok with that crap is just not realistic for me at all!

The main point of conflict in this book is completely ridiculous. The h/H are childhood sweethearts that decide to marry after the stillbirth of their son and before his deployment. He gets captured/tortured, loses his memory and doesn’t return home for 6 years. Somehow the military doesn’t know she’s his wife and only notify his grandfather what’s happened, who then lies to her and tells her H died!? His best friend also goes along with this lie. Why? Because she’d been through a lot with the death of their baby, etc. and H had asked them not to tell her if something “horrendous” happened to him while serving. So what, he was banking on having amnesia or would he have ghosted her if he came back without amnesia?
His best friend, Cooper and his grandfather go along with this for years! They all live in the same town! H is fucking ow/club whores the whole time he’s back. But hey, he’s no man-whore and he always does them from behind because something just doesn’t feel right. Ummm, how can people not tell him he’s married?!!! Holy shit that’s fucked-up.
When the H/h finally meet and he still has no memory of her, she calls Cooper and he says to her “If you loved York, the man you knew, then hold onto that man and remember all the good times. Let him go, Marley. He’s not yours any longer. He hasn’t been for six years. He’s let you go.” WHAT?!! They are married dickhead!!
Same editing problems that first book had, coupled with horrible story=no go with this author in the future.

Again I wasn't expecting that. But Holy fuck was it amazing. Their were some part that I felt needed a little bit more of an explanation. But it was amazing and I just loved them both.
York saw Marley in school and was entranced, he wanted to get to know her but Marley thought he was another kid at her school determined to pick on her. She couldn't have been more wrong and when she gives him a chance she finds the love of her life. They marry young and York has signed up to join the Marines. They both know this will be difficult but believe they will get through the times ahead, that is until Marley finds out he is killed in action. Years later she finds out he wasn't but he does not remember her at all. How do you handle seeing the man who owns your heart but staying away at the same time?
I am enjoying this series but the one thing I will say is there is some flow issues. This one Marley is told to stay away from York because he has gone through so much but then they are all together the next moment and then it goes back to her staying away. Overall though the story itself is entertaining. I liked York's character and felt for Marley. Each story in series gets a little bit better.
I would have given this a much higher rating, if the story didn't have so many inconsistencies! Like she had to have tubes tied after having c-section, cuz she had so many cysts! That made no sense whatsoever. That supposedly the marines didn't know he was married because he didn't tell them. Thats hard to believe as well, considering their the government of the United States. They would know! And to believe they live in the same small town and didn't run into each other once (unlikely) especially hard to believe no one told her he was alive! Not even his grandfather or his best friend! And they both kept it from him as well. And the next book is going to be about Garrett, and a club whore! That is so disappointing! I don't understand why so many authors try turning club whores into old lady's and have them become everyone's best friend. That's just unbelievable to me.Why are you trying to make all the characters be supposedly good people that all get along. When in reality that never happens. In fantasy we want them to get their butts kicked and knocked down a few pegs! Because in reality that rarely happens!
Oh boy...this one, it will put you through the wringer! I really liked York and Marley as teens, loved that both of them just knew they were it for each other and how they went about building a solid life despite their parents. Hated how tragedy hit them not once, but twice. Speed ahead to the present and at first I was much like Marley and stunned with what she learned, then angry! How dare he, how dare his friends, who knew it all. But then seeing York figure things out through the fog, not sure what happened was totally wrong. I'm just glad that once even given a very slight chance, York did what he did in the past and went about making his woman his. It made the ending all the sweeter knowing how much abundance they had in their lives.

York and Marley’s story is the best!! Love this MC and their each individual stories. I’m being sucked in by them all. Can’t wait for the next one. Yes you want to read this series.
I think this series would be really good, if the author got an editor to review the writing before publishing. Reads like a rough draft. Not a thought out edited published book. It was hard to deal with in the last book so unfortunately I think I won’t finish this book.
The plot of this book had a lot of potential. With that being said the whole “if something bad ever happens to me don’t ever tell her unless it’s me dying” was so ridiculous. He had his grandpa and best friend promise to never tell his wife what happened to him unless it was to tell her he died. They had just lost their baby so That was swell and good and all but HE WAS ALIVE and in the Mc for 3 years with no memories and they had kept his wife a secret and she thought that he was dead the entire time. When she finds out he’s alive the grandfather and friend tell her to leave him alone he moved on and is doing well.. well she wasn’t and she just listened to them? Then when he did finally find out it was as if the Mc hadn’t written her off and tried to keep them separate. There was no reason to keep them apart in the story line at all so it didn’t make sense. It was also a really long winded book that didn’t really reach points that had been pointed out in different sections throughout the book. I read the first book and thought it was really sweet but also long winded so I tried this one out and it just ruined it for me. Sorry I won’t be reading anymore. It would’ve been fewer stars but I did like the main characters and the potential this book had so 3 it is.
This is Not a MC romance it is just a romantic that the H just happened to be in. It has nothing whatsoever about the MC lifestyle in it! It was more of a teen romance theme. Boy meets girl, boy gets girl, boy goes off to war and doesn’t come home, or so you think. If you read the first book you know he does.
I’m so tired of Authors trying to say their books are MC and they don’t know shit about a Real MC or how it works. I also can’t stand that they don’t write anything about what’s going on in the MC they just throw a couple little bits in there to make it sound like it’s a MC story!
Giving this book 2 ⭐️ was being kind, I give it for the effort
Nothing made any sense. They live in a small town, they haven't run into eachother for 3 years and then suddenly they start meeting almost every day in random places? Make it make sense! Also, it's as if this entire book was a very, very rough sketch of an idea...not a whole book. It adds characters out of the blue with no introduction, adults act like 14 year olds, important scenes that should have been written in a whole chapter are just briefly described in a sentence or two .... It's just bad all around.
First book was ok,looked forward to this one but so many inconsistencies! 1 second novalie is in kitchen,next the girls are waiting for her to arrive? York is back in town for 3 years and known member of the club but not 1 person tells Marley? When he remembers her and talking to the members,they act like they dont know her,yet most did!
I like the characters and the storyline but I have a problem with the grammar. Some words are used incorrectly (i. e. modicum) and some sentences don’t really make sense. However, I’m going to try to continue reading the next books in the series.
This one was just all over the place and hard to connect with. So many times I was just left feeling confused but I’ll try the next book to see if the series improves.
I found Clearwater’s Hope to be a confusing hot mess. The details were all over the place. Things just didn’t make sense at all. The editing wasn’t great either.

It's kind of hard to believe that two people can fall in love, when one of them comes from a rich family and the other is from the wrong side of the tracks so to speak. Even though Marley was the one born into the rich family, she was also pretty much ignored by her parents, and also bullied at school because she was supposedly the rich kid, but Saylor became her best friend and eventually York became her heart. They eventually got married and she was pregnant, but sadly the good Lord needed their baby boy more, and also York had joined the military and had to go back to his service, and then he was captured and tortured and he had told his buddies to never let Marley know about and also he lost a lot of his memories, so Marley continued to mourn him thinking that he was KIA, until he walks into her bank and she realizes who he is, but he still doesn't have all of his memory back yet but eventually most of it does and voila' they're back together. Not going to say anything else to spoil the rest of the story, so Happy reading.
Marley and York meet in high school, people didn't like Marley because she was rich but her home life was terrible. They fell in love, married and became prey only to lose their son.
York went off to the army ,was captured and tortured. Marley was informed he was dead. A chance meeting brought them together but York had no memories. With a push from Marley friend York for his memories back of his first love. They remarried, adopted and ended up having another daughter. Life was great for them because true love never dies. The author has created a wonderful series
Trigger Warnings Love everything in this story...my heart broke and I was really emotional. PTSD is horrendous and with alot of ex-military men and women experiencing it is shattering. Not only them but their families, friends and colleagues. The death of a little one is very very painful, and has a devastating effect. Suicide is a recipe that many take, it's a disease in our emotional plane that seems to be a better option. But help is out there waiting for you. Never give up on you are sitting beside you always, they want and need to help and love you more.
This is a good story with so many feels. It is about the Hope that is York Reed Michaelson. York is from the wrong side of the tracks, but he is a star football player. He is enamored by Marley, a rich girl in high school, who doesn’t believe in herself. Market’s parental units are selfish and faulty. York has to convince Marley’s BFF Saylor to let him take Marley on a date. Things go well except for the parents and the military. This is where the journey of Marley and York starts . It’s one of love, lost, pain, and hope for a better tomorrow. Read On!
I loved book 1 and gave it 5 stars . This book I realized right off the bat it has a lot of editing mistakes, mistakes in the timeline, and inconsistencies. That being said the story was good. I was so angry with York’s friends who lied to him and his wife . I mean seriously the reasoning given made no sense whatsoever and it was just unforgivable. I will continue to read the series because I have fallen in love with these characters but I implore the author to do some research and editing .
This book broke my heart. NOBODY should ever have to go through what these 2 people went through in life. Some how they survived. When they were together they were complete. Separate they just got by.
This book was deep and soul crushing. It broke me down to tears streaming only to make me smile in the next breath. How Tiffany made these 2 people love was beautiful. How she made them endure was tough to handle. Then she brought it all back around to a beautiful ending. Wow just wow!
York knew something was missing he had be captured and held for 2 years and he forgot about his life before the service. He forgot the love he had for Marley. It had been years when York walked in the bank and saw Marley. He was instantly interested but didn’t recognize her. After over coming and learning what really happened they fought to have their forever. I love this MC and the brothers in it. I couldn’t put the book down.
Have to say that I loved the story and the characters, I did buy the books and have re read them several times. the reason for the 3 star is the editing! there are so many mistakes that I just can't give it a full 5 stars. The author gets the names mixed up alot, doesn't know the difference between you/your/you're, punctuation is often missing so the sentences don't always make sense.
hate that she ended the series, but love the spin off in Tenn.
Wow. I actually tried to put this book down and get some sleep. I dreamt about it. I wound up waking up in the middle of the night to read the darn book.
York and Marley’s story pulled at all my emotions - it actually hurt my heart. I wasn’t sure I could forgive the decisions made that led to the position they found themselves in. I’m still not sure. I’m thrilled with their HEA though. And I’m excited to read another book.
I don't remember why I initially clicked on one of Ms Casper's books🤔 I think it was for the beautiful cover! Little did I know what kind of treasure was inside. She already had 5 points ahead of the game because it was an MC series and I love my MC series🏍🏍 I just know I'm grateful that I decided to click on that book that day😍 She is now 1 of my favorite authors! I look forward to reading more😘
Truly an inspiring and uplifting read. To overcome so many obstacles and heartbreak to reach the silver lining just makes my heart believe in miracles. Yes, it is a fictionalized story,but it is based on reality. One has to BeLIEVE, ACCEPT,and KNOW that sometimes happy endings occur when one has experienced absolute heartbreak. A great read by this gifted author who can capture feelings so fantastically!
This had a lot of potential. But it failed my expectations. For the first half the book it set of the couples happy meeting and to the beginning of their married life. Then he went on to his career path while she waited at home. Then the story declines too quickly with not alot of detail and then reconciliation too quick without discussion of his actions of 6 years. .
There are some really sad moments for Marley and York especially at such young ages. Marley is dealt another huge blow then six years later she gets another one. Goodness the hits just keep coming for her. York was a POW and the results are lost memories because of the head trauma. He soon finds out what he's forgotten.
