The authors, Jayne Rylon and Mari Carr have continued the
Compton Family saga. We first met the 4
Compton brothers and watched them fall in love in the Compass Brothers
Series. The daughters of the brothers
have grown up and are now looking for their true loves.
Hope Compton is the oldest child of the unconventional relationship
of Silas, Lucy and Colby, (Northern Exposure-Compass Brothers Book 1). As a teen, she realized that she yearned for
the same type of relationship as her parents.
Out with her loser boyfriend, she is rescued from a gang rape by Wyatt
and Clayton, two hot cowboys who work on her family’s ranch. As Hope gets to know the two men she is optimistic
that she can join their existing relationship.
She and Clayton have an instant understanding but Wyatt is unsure,
afraid of the repercussions if it does not work. While the threesome give into the sexual
chemistry that sparks whenever they are near, Hope and her cousins must face
the ramifications of her beloved grandmother’s Alzheimer’s. The entire Compton family must face the
future dealing with their matriarch’s disease.
Hope must be strong for her family while convincing her men that this is
their chance at the love they all deserve.
A reader does not
need to have read the prior books to enjoy Hope’s Spring however it will
enhance the experience. The authors do a
wonderful job of not slowing down the pace of Hope’s story by giving too much
backstory. I am a huge fan of the
Compton family. In this book, I fell in
love with the good-girl Hope and found Clayton and Wyatt worthy of her
love. This is a fast paced story that
allows the reader to get to know Hope but keeps us updated on the other Compass
Girls. The sex scenes are hot and
especially the m/m action. However, this
is a book that is story driven. Vivi’s increasing
problems with lucidity due to the ravages of Alzheimer’s are realistic and
heart-breaking. I cried over the barn
scene. This book packs a punch on many
levels. This series has stayed in my
heart due to the strong storyline regarding Vivi’s illness and the pain that is
causes her beloved family
