Procure A Hope Remembered (Of Love And War, #3) Picturized By Stacy Henrie Distributed As Publication

liked that the book had mystery and a hidden past but it was of hope and love and family.
They were courage and the importance of letting go of the past and moving on to the future.
Definitely would recommend it. I really liked this series, It was light as far as being hopeful and not trashy and depressing but it was also interesting and inspiring.
A wonderful end to a very wonderful series, Nora, an Iowa farm girl, moves to England to claim an inheritance, She decides to do this to start fresh after losing her fiancé in the Great War, She meets her new neighbor Colin, who also suffered a loss in the war, the death of his beloved older brother.
Colin is now in line to become the next head of his family, Can this American girl and British aristocrat be more than

just friends and neighbors As with the previous books in this series, Stacy Henrie uses the power of hope as the driving force for her characters to believe that their heart's desires can become realities.
I wish this series could continue! I loved this book, It is was my first historical romance that wasn't a Pride and Prejudice variation, Unlike other books, it grabbed my attention from page one, It wasn't slow, it quickly created the scenes and emotions that the author was trying to convey.
The historical context was great for building the scene,
I loved how both of the main character's plight brings them together and allow the other to overcome their tragedies.

This was the first book that I read from the series, because it was a stand alone novel, the order it is read wasn't important.
That being said, I am very excited to read the rest of the series,in the "Of Love and War", but can be read as a stand alone, A tale of the Great War, England, secrets, romance and love, This is the final in this Trilogy, While, you don't have to read the others in this Trilogy, I would suggest reading the others.
Emotional, compelling and beautifully written!

An emotional, interesting and thrilling tale of love and war.
Fast paced tale of flawed characters, the turmoil of a wartorn Europe, family duty, secrets, faith, healing and forgiveness.
A sweet but emotional romance!! I plan to go back and read the others in this Trilogy, I feel I missed out on so much.
A nice conclusion to this Trilogy, Well written, with vivid descriptions, the reader can almost feel the emotions pouring off the pages, A must read!

This is such a sweet romance I loved how Nora and Colin's friendship developed in a genuine way.
I admired her courage to leave everything behind and start fresh in an entirely different country, There are a couple of mysteries Nora encounters in her new neighborhood which provides some additional storylines to the main plot.
I also enjoyed reading about Colin's experiences as a pilot in the first world war and later as he continues to fly his aeroplane over the English countryside.
The bond he had with his brother was evident in how intensely he grieved his loss, Even though they had completely different life purposes and personalities, the brotherly love was touching, and made it even harder for Colin to try to fill his shoes.
Nora helps him put things in perspective and come to terms with God and death, even as she grieves the loss of her fiancé.
My favorite quote from the book deals with this theme:
"I don't believe it was God's will for any of those soldiers to die in the war.
. . War is not something God condones, Colin, but men must be allowed to choose what they will make of their lives good or evil.
He cannot rob them of that, . . While I don't believe God wanted Tom or Christian to die, I do believe He has a greater perspective than I do.
Just like a pilot in his plane, who sees a much different picture that what we can from the ground.
. . When we go through heartache and loss, it's our right and challenge to discover what God wants us to do and become from those experiences.
. . That is his will. To help us catch a glimpse of the wider, bigger perspective, To recognize and rejoice in those moments when He reaches down and compensates our losses, "

Thank you to Forever Publishing for a copy of the book in exchange for my honest review Officially an upallnighter! Secrets and family duty keep this budding romance on its toes and threaten to destroy it.
Nora wants to start a new life in a new place while Colin struggles to fulfill family duty when its not in his nature.
They are both dealing with the pain of loss and changed lives and the discoveries of ones self and Gods will that come along with it.
Very wellwritten tale with wonderfully engaging secondary characters, This author knows how to suck you into the story with the very first chapter, I couldnt put it down I had to know how it ended! The mystery and intrigue written here were page turning and kept the story moving.
I loved the story and recommend this to everyone who loves a little suspense mixed with a romance that needs to overcome odds to survive!
I received this book in exchange for an honest review.

Cuuuuuuuute : masterful mix of WWI history, mystery, and romance, Loved the setting in England and the characters and everything! My only complaint would be that it was a little too short and rushed at the end, but very unpredictable in revealing plot twists! Really well done, and I can't wait to read more in this series.
Loved! posts tomorrow. I received an eARC of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of this review,

A Hope Remembered by Stacy Henrie is such a sweet story of friendship, love, and the ability to overcome even our darkest hour.
Nora Lewis is starting over after the war took her fiancé and the Spanish flu took her parents.
She has inherited a distant relative's sheep farm in the Lake District of England, So selling her small farm in Iowa, she sets off on a new journey, both excited at its possibilities and grieving the loss of the familiar.
Colin Ashby is back at his parents' estate Elmthwaite Hall after losing his older brother in the war.
Colin feels the life he had before the war is unattainable as he now stands to inherit the title meant for his brother, but it isn't what he thought.
Elmthwaite is facing bankruptcy and to save his childhood home may mean sacrificing a new life with the pretty American girl who just took over the sheep farm down the way.


I LOVE these characters and their story! In fact, this one may be my favorite of the entire series.
Nora is such a treasure, She has faith that God is in direction of her life, moving halfway across the world to take over a sheep farm and start over.
I can't say I blame her, If I had lost everyone I love as she has, I would want a new start too.
Except for Nora she has closed off her heart and is unwilling to open it back to love and the potential of loss.
It's sad and such a heartrending story as she slowly opens herself to new possibilities throughout the book.
I loved reading her journey as she realized loving is a part of life and blood doesn't necessarily equal family.


And Colin :D I adored him! He is such a lost character at the beginning of the story.
He had big plans and dreams for when the war ended, He wanted to travel and see the world, But with the death of his brother, those dreams have to be put on hold, He now stands to inherit his father's title of baronet, a title he doesn't want, but a promise to his brother to never turn his back on Elmthwaite keeps him from leaving.
What I love about Colin is that he is a good man at heart, He loves his family, his friends, and he has big dreams, dreams he's willing to give up for his family.


Nora and Colin's relationship is complicated to say the least, Nora finds a friend in Colin, but ignores her attraction to him as she feels it would be a betrayal to her fiancé.
Colin is also attracted to Nora, in fact he finds himself falling for her, but to save Elmthwaite he needs to talk her into selling the sheep farm to his family.
I loved reading as their relationship grew and ultimately they developed a friendship that is a strong foundation for any love story :D

Overall I love this series and was happy with the conclusion the author gave to the characters.
Nora and Colin are wonderful and I loved reading their story! Nora is quickwitted and her faith in God leads Colin back to his own roots.
Colin is wonderful as he learns to stand up for what he believes is right and follow his own heart.
If you enjoy historical fiction, a clean romance then I highly recommend you check out Stacy's Of Love and War series.
I promise you won't be disappointed! This is a thoroughly enjoyable conclusion to a lovely historical romance trilogy.
Nora and Colin are loveable, and their romance is sweet and the message is hopeful, I've enjoyed this series. Each book stands alone, as each one tells the story of a different character, but characters from other books play very minor roles.
What's different about this one is that WWI is over and life is moving on in England.
Colin is set to carry on with his family's large estate and needs to find a way to get the money to save it.
He does let his father control him a little too much and doesn't have the guts to follow his heart.


Nora doesn't have anything holding her back in Iowa, so when she discovers that she has inherited a distant family member's sheep farm in England, she sells everything off and leaves.
She's used to hard work and moving doesn't change that, She's very likeable and finds herself in a little love triangle, while dealing with a mystery, Someone wants her gone and she needs to figure out who and why,

The mystery had a few elements and one was easy to figure out, but the others were a little trickier.
The mystery, combined with the clean romance, really added to the gentle story and helped move things along at a good pace.
The secondary characters were a pleasant bonus,

Content: no language very mild violence brief mentions of war moderate religious elements Christianchurch, church choir, prayers mild romance kissing.
Clean! Stacy Henrie is a wonderful writer and I really enjoyed this story, I liked how it was from the perspective of returning to "normal" life after the war and how it showed how difficult that could be.
I just loved this story, such a beautiful written story about Nora and Colin and how they came together.


This is therd book in the series and the first book in this series that I am reading.


This book is written after the Great War, and Nora inherits some property in England.
She decides to sell her farm and move to England from Iowa,
Their story has sadness and happiness, but even better there is hope and with hope, Nora and Colin in the each personal selves had a lot to over come and with that hope they did.


Honestly this book just has everything, and also some of the twist were different, This wasn't just the same old historic romance, this was so interesting to read that I stayed up all night to finish this book and I cant wait to read the rest in the series.


I did receive this book from Netgalley for an honest opinion,
A HOPE REMEMBERED Stacy Henrie
Of Love and War, Book


England

Its time for Nora Lewis to move on.
She has sold her family farm, found a home for her dog, and is leaving Iowa for England.
Her parents died during the influenza epidemic, and shortly afterwards Nora received notice that she had inherited her greatuncles sheep farm in the Lake District of England.
With the death of her fiancé in the Great War, Nora needs to make a fresh start away from all of the memories.


Colin Ashby, veteran, pilot, and now his fathers heir, is still trying to get his life together after losing his older brother, Christian, in the war.
He had never intended on staying at Elmthwaite, his familys estate, after the war, but he made a promise to his brother to take care of their hereditary home.
Chafing to do something besides becoming a gentleman farmer, Colin also knows that Elmthwaite will be lost if he doesnt do as his father wants and marry an heiress.


Noras arrival in Larksbeck is met with some confusion, She goes to a large estate to get help, and meets Colin Ashby, son of a baron, who helps her find her way to her great uncles cottage.
When she meets the Tuttle family, though, Nora is slightly taken aback by their surprise at seeing her.
Strange comments confuse her, but she shrugs them off and accepts their help, and their son Jacks expertise with sheep.


Reaction from others in the village to Nora are friendly, but odd, Everyone says how much she looks like her great uncles daughter, Eleanor, but when Nora asks questions, everyone changes the subject.
However, her relationship with Colin warms up as he befriends her, even finding her a puppy, What Nora doesnt know is that Colins father has ordered him to work on her to sell him her farm so that he can build a hotel.
Colin is too kind to broach the subject though, as he observes how much pride Nora takes in her small cottage and farm.
He is loath to hurt her, But when strange things begin happening to her cottage and property, Nora wonders who dislikes her enough to want to run her off her land

A HOPE REMEMBERED is the final book in the trilogy Of Love and War.
Unfortunately, I havent read the previous two books, This book can easily be read alone, though, The characters are well drawn, the setting is beautifully depicted, and the story line is romantic and poignant at the same time.
Readers will warm to Nora and her need to be a part of the community,
