Her Secret Hope (A Season in Pinecraft #3) by Shelley Shepard Gray

 

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 Review

Wow! What a great conclusion to this series, I loved each of the books, and felt invested in each of the main characters.

This is Lilly Kurtz's story, and she is back with her friends, so we are gifted an update on their lives! We do get to meet Eddie and his Grandmother November, and loved that older lady, she told it as it is!

Of course, life can't run smooth, and we are treated to some sweet romance, along with a mystery of a missing sweater! With the mystery and challenges, some life changing decisions are made!

I am sorry that the series is ending, and would love to continue on in the lives of these characters, but looking for future reads by this author.

I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Revell, and was not required to give a positive review.
