The exciting conclusion of the bestselling Hope Springs series where some journeys are ending while others are just beginning.
My thoughts about Road to New Beginnings ~~
(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first lines.)
First lines—"Standing at my front door, I stare across the street at Hope Springs Farm, the historic inn and surrounding buildings my grandfather built in the early 1920s."
Road of New Beginnings is the final story in the Hope Springs series. And what a wonderful ending it was. I have loved this whole series and all of the wonderful, caring characters. They became like family to me—if not family, then at least very good friends. I loved every minute I spent in Hope Springs and at the Inn.
Ashley's stories just get better and better with each one that she writes and I always am excited when she has another one coming out. Honestly, it is a little bit sad that this series is ending but I know that whatever she is working on will be just as good, if not better.
And with the title of Road to New Beginnings, there just has to be someone's new beginning coming up for all of us, right? I can't wait to see what it is!
I highly recommend Road to New Beginnings, as well as this whole series!
I received a copy of Road to New Beginnings from the author and this is my honest opinion.
