By: Valerie M. Bodden

Narrated by: Emily Norman

Escape to the shores of Lake Michigan with three full-length novels from the heartwarming, emotional Hope Springs series. Opposites attract, single dad, enemies to love, found family—you’ll find it all, and more, in Hope Springs…where friends become family, faith heals hearts, and love lasts forever. Find a cozy spot…because once you settle into Hope Springs, you’ll never want to leave!

Not Until Us: Everyone knows former bad girl Jade and local pastor Dan don’t belong together. But when what they know and what they feel are two different things, can they trust God to give them a second chance? When Jade agrees to return to Hope Springs for the summer, it’s with the hope that she might finally be able to escape her reputation. The list of mistakes she’s made would stretch all the way from Hope Springs to California and back. And at the top of the list: leaving town without so much as a word of explanation to Dan, the only man she’s ever truly loved. It was for his own good, but that doesn’t mean he’s any more likely to forgive her.

Not Until Christmas Morning: Leah is determined to make this Christmas the best ever for her foster son. Even if it means working with her grinchy new neighbor... Leah has been waiting months for the call saying she’s been selected as a foster mother. But from the moment she meets her troubled foster son, he wants nothing to do with her. For some reason, he’d rather spend time with Leah’s grumpy new neighbor, Austin. Leah would prefer to keep her distance from the man, but if spending time with him is the price she has to pay to connect with her son, she’ll do it.

Not Until This Day: Isabel has three simple rules: Keep moving. No friends. No men. And she’s determined to follow those rules, even if the small town of Hope Springs makes her want to put down roots. Following the rules is the only way to keep her daughter safe. Besides, her boss’s brother, Tyler, has made it more than clear that she’s not welcome here.

Changed By Faith

I enjoyed the three books included in this box set as much as the others in the series which I've listened to in audiobook format. The small-town setting added a touch of coziness for me. I liked how all the characters were either related or had developed relationships with one another, and how the group received and accepted new members. I was moved by the true feeling of fellowship which percolated throughout the series. I thought the humorous remarks and situations added to my enjoyment of the stories. I was entertained by Emily Norman's narration as her performance kept my attention. I was given a copy of the audiobook. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which reflected my honest opinions regarding this audiobook.
