Hope (Brides of the West #3) (Repack) Paperback – July 19, 2007

This book follows the story of Hope Kalahan, the last of the mail-order-bride Kalahan sisters to meet her husband. It is truly a fun and suspensful adventure (if a little on the predictable side).The story starts with Hope, daughter of a deceased minister, listening to a senators daughter spouting memorized scripture on a stagecoach. (It is here where you learn of Hope deficiencies in remembering her fathers bible lessons!). Miss Ferry and her companion leave the stage early due to illness and Hope continues to meet her betrothed.Enter Dan, aka Grunt, government agent and infiltrator of the Davidson gang, wanted for robbing stages carrying army payroll. (Might I add that he is, as every romantic hero should be, handsome as can be?). Well, if the gang leader didn't have plans to kidnap Miss Ferry for the senators ransom money!!Mistaken for the senators daughter Hope is kidnapped and delayed from her betrothed for 2 months!! What happens during those 2 months? You should read and find out. It is a perfect romantic/comedy/adventure book!!! Full of all kinds of unbelievable events that are sure to leave the betrothed mans mind in a spin.It is fun watching Hope evolve from a self centered girl into a compassionate woman. It is wonderful watching Dan observe these changes all the while respecting her promise to her future husband.

I loved this book. Rarely have I read a book that was inspiring and hilarious at the same time! Thanks.

I loved every minute of this book, it was a light easy read, and relaxing to see how far we as a country, have lost the art of respect,And innocence, it is another time and place, but the belief in the almighty, got them through some very hard times, and that belief never changes, even today.

I truly enjoy the books that Lori Copeland writes. The Brides of the West are a joy to read. I read the first three: Faith; June and Hope. Each book takes you into a wonderful story of how these young women find their husbands. Last I checked I have to read three more to finish the series. Each woman portrayed keeps you wanting to read faster to see what is going to happen next. Delightful stories and the kind of books that make you feel good.

My book came quickly and I enjoyed reading it!

Absolutely loved every second of this book!! I would give it more stars if I could! Hope is my favorite out of the trilogy for sure. Highly recommend all three books!

This is one of a series of books by Lori Copeland, each more fascinating than the one before. It's well written and the content is intense. I would recommend the entire series.

I enjoyed the characters and the plot. It had the emotional tension one expects of a good romance novel, and it was your typical western style story.
