Love Remains by Sarah M. Eden
Book Description:
From Sarah M. Eden, the USA Today Bestselling author of the Longing for Home series, LOVE REMAINS is a new romance novel set in the beloved world of Hope Springs.
For nearly a year, Tavish O’Connor has carried the crushing weight of his family’s future on his shoulders. He has taken on the care of his youngest brother, Finbarr, who lost his eyesight in a terrible accident. But the lad needs more than Tavish can provide. Finbarr needs hope.
Cecily Attwater specializes in hope. As a tutor to the newly blind, she has dedicated her life to helping others overcome the obstacles she herself has conquered. Her new assignment in a remote corner of Wyoming proves trickier than usual: Finbarr refuses to learn. To make matters worse, his family—and the other Irish townspeople—are less than thrilled to discover an Englishwoman in their haven.
Cecily’s only hope lies in securing the cooperation of her pupil’s brother Tavish, who happens to be her harshest critic and quite possibly the most frustrating man she’s ever known.
For Finbarr’s sake, Tavish and Cecily forge an uneasy alliance that, as the weeks pass, tiptoes toward something deeper than either dares admit or face, and toward a future they know to be impossible. There can be no hope of a happy outcome for an Irishman and an English woman amongst a people reeling from violence and centuries of hatred between their two homelands.
Andrea's Review:
Wow-Love Remains is amazing! Sarah M. Eden really knows how to write a story that will capture and hold your attention. Her characters are deep and I couldn't help but become emotionally attached to them. I was heartbroken for how Cecile was treated (seriously, tears were shed on multiple occasions). And then there's Tavish. He really carried a lot on his shoulders with his entire family depending on him for their happiness and well being. Both characters dealt with so much, but it said so much about them that they kept on moving forward.
This is a clean story that I read very quickly, and one that I'd read again. I'm looking forward to re-reading the other Hope Springs books.
Tarah's Review:
I love Sarah Eden's books, but I will say that I had to reread the Hope Springs novels to really get into them. They definitely improved on the second reading. Love Remains, however, was moving. The amount of emotion that I felt while reading this book was incredible. The prejudices and treatment of others makes you think. Especially if you've read the other books in this series, because you love this family, and to have this family that you love treat someone who is there to help their son the way they treated her is heart-wrenching. If the book was only about that it would have been good, but then it also deals with blindness and how that affects Finbar, Cecile and all of the family. There are so many aspects of this book that just make it great. The love story is definitely up to Eden's usual standard, as is the story in general. I like the hope that you find in Eden's stories. It doesn't matter what the characters are going through, you are going to find hope in her stories, and I love it. I will be rereading this (already have gone back and reread my favorite parts) and will definitely recommend this to others.
