It would be difficult to choose a favorite but this book is definitely in the running.<\/p>\n<p>With its share of misunderstandings, mishaps, and varied surprises, <em>Holding on to Hope<\/em> may be the most humorous of the series. Do not let that fool you though. Readers will still find ample character development, Biblical truth, and life lessons to keep this novel well above rom com fluff level.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to join Hope and Caleb as the good friends work together to plan a last minute wilderness wedding in the Jackson, Wyoming area. If anything could go wrong, it did but God\u2019s plans prevailed and Caleb and Hope found that the desires of their hearts might be closer than they even imagined.<\/p>\n<p>I cannot recommend books by this author enough. She will always be on my must read list. I hope you will give Holding on to Hope a try.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book provided by JustReads Publicity.
