My Thoughts
I can't even tell you how much I loved this book. CP draws you into the lives of these characters - their pain and grief in brokenness then the love that begins to heal them both. Hope is definitely hiding from something and we assume that it is an abusive man, but it is so much more than that. Because of the danger she tries not to get close to anyone always thinking about moving on.
Then Nic happens. And boy does he happen. Nic has closed himself off as well due to the loss of his daughter. Hope brings him out of that with a need to protect and he wants her to be his. Hope resists as she wants to keep him safe, but Nic won't give up and pushes past her walls. Don't even get me started on Nic and his french. Oh my.
What I love about this story is that it is all about overcoming. Overcoming feelings of guilt. Overcoming fear to let someone in. Believing in love again and opening your heart to it. I loved the people that surrounded Nic and Hope in their journey. Rose who played matchmaker and surrogate momma to Hope. Nicky who is already so much like his daddy and is such a charmer. I just adore this couple and their love story.
I give Restoring Hope 5 hearts!
About the Book
Life throws you curve balls, but no parent should ever bury a child. Determined not to make the same mistakes with his son as he made with his daughter, Nic Beuve is single-minded until Hope walks into his life.
Hope Delaney, a woman with a past that almost broke her, tries to keep people at bay for their own protection. Fortunately for her, no one listens when she says she wants to be alone.
Burning desire, a deep need to protect, and a woman who looks like an angel breaks down Nic's defenses until he can’t ignore them. He wants Hope and what Nic wants…
Hope thinks she can walk away at any time she just wasn't counting on a man like Nic to get in the way, or a nosy but loving Cajun Boss. All's fair in love and war and what Maman Rose wants is Nic and Hope together.
Will their relationship survive an ex-wife with an agenda or will her past come between them... or kill them?
