Almost two years after Lilly Kurtz first traveled to Pinecraft, Florida, with friends, she's decided to make a fresh start there. She's ready to be new-and-improved Lilly, a Lilly without a past, a Lilly with no secrets. At first, everything goes well. She gets a job, her coworkers feel like family, and she enjoys reconnecting with her friends. But it turns out the past is reluctant to be left behind.When Lilly meets hardworking farmer Eddie Byler, she can't get him off of her mind. But then she discovers that Eddie actually lives just a few miles from her hometown in Ohio. Lilly knows that he's not going to like it when he finds out what secrets she's been running from. And she knows she could never follow the man she's falling in love with back to a place where she's never felt accepted.Will Lilly have to give up on love in order to find peace? Or could it be that love is actually the solution to all of her problems?

My thoughts: Her Secret Hope is a sweet ending to a delightful series that has shown the ties of true friendship and the unpredictability of love. Lily and Eddie have an instant attraction to each other,  Lily is dealing with struggles of worth since she was adopted. Her story tore my heart out. I enjoyed getting to know the characters in this third book of the series, and I enjoyed Lilly and Eddie’s romance.  Another romance adds further layers to this story, as do the various family dynamics. Warmth, humor, and gentle faith make Her Secret Hope a good read.  Recommended.  I was given a copy free and all opinions are my own.
