Her Secret Hope by Shelley Shepard Gray

 

 

Summary:

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?

 

Review: 3-Star

I enjoyed the story but didn’t love it.  The book was easy to put down and do other stuff and then pick back up read a chapter or two and then go do other stuff. I had trouble connecting with both the storyline and the characters.  I know part of the problem was I couldn’t picture the setting of the book in either place.
