"Just discovered this Hope Springs series, and I fell in love with the town, the characters, and this author's writing." -Amazon reviewer
See why readers are falling in love with the heartwarming Hope Springs Christian romance series! Three fast-paced, emotional romances in one collection.
Not Until Forever: Sophie knows she did the right thing when she declined Spencer's proposal five years ago. So why does seeing him again stir up old feelings? Spencer promised himself he wouldn't fall for Sophie again. But there's something different about her now. Something that makes him think maybe God is giving them a second chance...
Not Until This Moment: Peyton thought Jared was "the one"—until he told her he never intended to get married. Jared wishes he could give Peyton everything she desires. But marriage is the one thing he can never offer her. When they're thrown together again on an annual ski trip, both have to reexamine what they want. Because it's just possible God has other plans for them...
Not Until You: Three years after her husband's death, Violet is sure her chance at happily ever after is over. Until Nate moves in next door and stirs feelings she thought had died with her husband. But when Nate reveals a devastating secret, they have to decide: should they walk away, or trust that the God of second chances has a plan for their future?
If you love deeply moving stories filled with faith, forgiveness, love, and the promise of forever, then this set of Christian romances will touch your heart and leave you breathless with the power of true love.

Not Until Forever - Sophie said goodbye the first time. When they are reunited years later who will say goodbye this time? Or will they finally reveal the truth and seek for a future together?
Not Until This Moment - Peyton and Jared have a past. They are still in love but not together. What happens when someone else shows interest in Peyton while a group of them are on a snow trip? Will Jared step aside or tell her how he still feels? A really sweet second chance at true love.
Not Until You - Violet has lost her husband and seeks solace in the grace of the Lord. Nate makes a decision that is life changing and he pushed the Lord away. Sometimes it is harder to forgive ourselves and others than for the Lord to forgive us. This book made me think about how unforgiving I can be and has kept me thinking. A romance but also a story of family, forgiveness, redemption and starting again.

Oh My God
I have just binged the Hope Springs Collection 1-3 and I am just blown away by these books Valerie touches on very real emotional situations we women find ourselves in and how we can lose our way only to have our Heavenly Father gently guide us back into line. I loved book 4 it really touched my hardened hurt heart. To find my God speaking to me in that story has blown me away. I have just purchased the next collection eagerly awaiting for my Father to reach out and love me. Please show yourself some love and purchase this collection.
Blessings

Romance books are, by nature, a bit formulaic, but there is nothing formulaic or preachy about the way God's love is manifested in the lives of various characters - from a hard driving businesswoman, to a man overwhelmed by responsibilities, to a woman who wants a home and family with the man she adores but the man has a legitimate reason to fear marriage, to a grieving widow trying to keep her store together and a man released from prison, forced to work for his dad at a job he hates if he ever wants to see his mom and know what happened to his sister after a bad car accident while both were under the influence.
So the characters come from varied backgrounds, and the books skillfully weave prayers and scriptures together as they reach out to each other and God.
There are a lot of books in the series, the next 3 also in a box set.

Oh, my goodness!
Throughout each book in this set, I laughed out loud and cried out loud; prayed out loud and praised God out loud. That is how beautifully the author expressed the emotions of the characters, the neverending love of Jesus and His awesome grace and forgiveness.
And don't forget that I said I laughed out loud. There's definitely some witty dialogue among the folks of Hope Springs!

Three stories, three couples who found each other in Hope Springs. Some are locals, others unexpectedly found their home there, as well as their missing halves. I enjoyed that, though faith is in the middle of the lives of the characters, their issues, hurts, and doubts had their place and made them approachable and relatable. Enjoy this box set, let the message seep into you and accept what you learn, you won’t regret it.

An inspiring three story boxed set with a fictional west Michigan setting. As a SW Michigan resident in fruit farm country across Lake Michigan from Chicago, I identified with the small town of Hope Springs and its unique characters. Michigan has lots of springs and we love cherries. Young folks struggle with job opportunities and choices of staying in a small town by family or moving to a big city. Boxed sets are an excellent way to discover a new author and / or read a new series.

Love it 😍 I cried for the third book. The grace of God was well explained and it is something we have to remember.
Also, stop holding on the past was well explained. I really love these stories.
Trust God and have faith and put him first as well as trusting His plan and not our plan for our life.
I recommend these books

Superb Christian Love/Romance Author
The set of 3 books were written by a superb Christian writer. I have read other books by this Author and have enjoyed everyone she has written. Not only are the books love/romance books, they show the values of living a true Christian life and the importance of family values and friendship’s that share your same beliefs.

Very, very good series!
These books are full of real life feelings and events, both happy and tragic. The answer is always turning to God , but living through or human thoughts, and grief until we realize that Jesus is always there to love, forgive and guide us.
I loved this series so very much, enjoy!

A good set of books
I enjoyed all 3 of these books I love the way the stories include a bible verse here and there and how it's relevant to the characters life. Each book was good but I really enjoyed the third. I can relate easily with these people.

Wonderful Story!!
I loved the characters of this story. I didn't like his dad through most of the story, but glad she explained his thoughts and feelings. His sister Kayla's spunk and perseverance was truly uplifting. Reading the rest of this series!!

Loved all three books in this boxset series, but Book 3 was definitely my favourite. Clean, intriguing stories with likable characters and great Christian lessons to be learned and reminded about. The stories are easy reading and you will want to continue on with the next books in the series.

Heartfelt
Thank you for a wonderful, clean, biblical story of Violet and Nathan. I enjoyed the family dynamics of both characters and the friendships that remind me as some of mine.

Heartwarming stories of love, faith, hope, and more. Each story is captivating and made me want to keep turning the pages to learn what happened next. I enjoyed reading these stories. I received a complimentary copy of the books. No review was required.

Heartfelt, deep, Christian stories
Stories with meaning and a message of love. Each special in its own right but also a continuation from the last making them into a great series. Can't wait for the next boxed set. Highly recommended for all readers.

Another Great Read
I can’t wait to read the next series. Once I start reading I can’t stop. I try to save some for the next few days but it’s so hard. Praying that you are blessed with many more great books.

Very realistic story line
I couldn’t stop reading. No matter what God is presented as very real and personal no matter what you’ve done.

All three books were very inspiring and work well off of each other. They could all stand alone also. Very good writing.
