Audiobook Review:
How do you forgive the unforgivable? It will take a leap of faith an almost tragedy to turn four strangers into the family they were always meant to be. Texas Hope is not your average romance. A mother's love is at the heart of a tale of convaluted secrets and second chances. The pain of the past trickles down into hope for the present. The heartache real, Brashear makes sure of that. Between the emotional journey, the relatable characters and the soulful, yet calm delivery of Mr. Dove, there were a great many tears shed. My eyes may be a mass of redness, but my heart was deeply touched.

I both read and listened to this book. The narrator only enhances all the emotions you feel. It was a really good story, and Eric G. Dove makes you forget that HE is all of Sweetgrass Springs. The book was great, but the narration took me on a journey.
I will add my review of the book to this review.

Wow! There was a lot going on in this story. It can be read as a standalone because the writer gives you a bit of background on each character and relationship. If you have read the Book Babes Trilogy, that will help even more.
This book takes you back to Sweetgrass Springs and you get to revisit most of the characters in town. There are so many secrets, hurt feelings, and pain for Michael, Ian, Sophia, Gordon, and Laken.
I liked the way Michael and Ian are portrayed as strong, independent, loving , and forgiving men. I guess you can put Ian's father Gordon in that same category.
The way the writer described Sophia's struggle with the decision she made was well done. Even if a person could never personally understand walking away from a child, what was going through Sophia's head clarified what SHE was going through and what SHE thought was best. The sad thing was that she didn't think much of herself.
Laken's struggle with who she was and what she wanted made an abrupt turn once she hit Sweetgrass Springs. She and Michael had great chemistry. They also had some rather harsh conversations. Actually, there were a number of very direct, difficult conversations in this book. But, overwhelmingly, there was the strong sense of love, loyalty, friendship and support that is in every Sweetgrass Springs book. Let's not forget the funny moments or the steamy moments either.
There was so much more that happened, you really need to read this one yourself.
