Book Review: Book 5

Book 5 is The Perfect Hope by Nora Roberts

the 3rd book of the Boonsboro Trilogy

 

 

When I finished typing up my review for Book 4, also from this trilogy, I went to our library website and ordered the last book in the series. I was shocked when I went up to the library later that afteroon and the book was already there. When it comes to reading my biggest problem is, once I've started a book, especially if I am enjoying it, I have a hard time putting the book down.  This book was that type of book.

 

The Perfect Hope focuses mainly on the characters of Hope and Ryder.  Hope is the Inn Keeper, and Ryder the head of the construction aspect of the Montgomery brothers team.  They are as different as can be, and having read the other 2 books in the series, destine to be together.  The problem is, whether or not they will figure out that they truly belong together. 

 

All three books also contain a character named Lizzy, who is the inns resident ghost.  Throughout the series the reader learns more about Lizzy's story, and what she is looking for.  Book 3 wraps up her story, with an interesting twist. Love, is the underlying theme in all 3 of the books, and Nora Roberts did a good job of keeping the story moving along, the reader engaged, with only occassional adult themed material.  Having read some of her other books back in college, she has really toned down her romance material, which is much appreciated, as I like a good romance book without the imagery that it sometimes can go to far with.

 

I would recommend this whole series.  As the last words were read, I was regretting the fact that this book was a part of a trilogy, as it would be nice to follow the characters beyond this book.

 

I would give this book 5 stars.
