This story reads well as a stand-alone story, but I could tell it was a continuation of a family series. I'm ready to read the others that came before. Great characters and an interesting plot. A good read.
I,have read all three of the Hope series books in the right order and found them very entertaining , with each one a good story with the research bringing the stories true to life with every character true to life. Fortunately the fighting in France and Belgium was not dwelt upon and the reader can enjoy what went on in England while the war raged which made the stories more interesting. I, would recommend these books anyone😃
Yet, another tastefully written book by Kay Seeley in the Hope series books. I have now read all three of them and have enjoyed them immensely. Kay, certainly makes you live with the characters in all three books. Another thing about these books they are happy endings. I would recommend the whole series. If you can read them in order. This is a five star recommended read by me.
I absolutely enjoyed reading this book, I have followed each book and everyone has been interesting, so much so that all I want to do is read ..... I don't want to spoil the story, but I recommend this book as I did the previous books!
This story had it all, sadness, joy and it was a storyline which was very cheerful. We all know life is not always good but it is nice to believe it can be.
I absolutely loved this book.So fitting that Rose and Peter found love with each other. Wish there was a book 4 so that we could follow William 's future.
