This is the third book of Ms. Henrie's that I've had the pleasure of reading. I am always astounded by the depth of emotion she is able to put into the story. She's able to help the reader to feel and understand the sense of loss the character feels over a loved one. The joy of finding love again after loss. The unjustified guilt that comes with surviving when another has not. Ms. Henrie shows the horrors of war without the gorey details. Even the supporting characters had very natural ways of a

Stacie Henrie did it again! I love her unique story lines and the way she weaves the love story into them. I adore Joel and Evelyn's relationship and couldn't get enough! This was a fun read and I couldn't put it down!
HOPE RISING featured New Release for Tuesday Intros & Teaser!

Each book in this series can stand alone, which is something that I really enjoy. I haven't read a lot about WWI and enjoyed getting a feel for what that war was like through the eyes of these fictional characters.
Evelyn is a strong woman. Raised by elderly grandparents, she has a knack for nursing and is determined to do what she can to support her country in the war. She is serving in France and finds herself in a forbidden situation--pregnant and unwed. She finds a way out by proposing to an ...more

Hope Rising is the second book of the Of Love and War Series and it was simply delightful.
While book one of the series is set stateside, this second book of the series is set in France with much of the story occurring in a hospital. Joel and Evelyn meet under dire circumstances. Some may find their romance to be "instalove", however, I did not. I believe in times of war feelings are more intense and I didn't find it unrealistic for their relationship to grow as quickly as it did.

Set in France during World War One, Nurse Evelyn Gray is dealing with the tragic loss of her fiancé, who was killed in battle. Corporal Joel Campbell, his best friend, wounded in the same battle, ends up being cared for by Nurse Gray. They eventually realize the link they share, a friendship and more begins. This was a heart wrenching tale of love, loss, and redemption. Stacy Henrie is becoming a favorite historical fiction author of mine. I look forward to the next installment in this series.
The Of Love and War series flew in under the radar so to speak. I haven't read much in the way of promotion from the publisher or about the author until recently, but these short little romances have trotted their way to the top of my book list for 2014 beating out some big names! With the first book, we met the Campbell sister, Livy, on the homefront during The Great War. Hope Rising follows Joel through battlefield and field hospital where he meets his best friend's girl, nurse Evelyn Gray. Ea

Another great addition to the "Of Love And War" series! All of the books take place around WWI, but unlike book one, this story was set in Europe. I really enjoyed being able to see things from that perspective.

What a heart-warming, emotion wringing, beautiful tale of love lost, found and given during a very hard time. This author paints a picture with words of war time sufferings, pains and triumphs for those of us who will never know. A story that flows and takes you along for the well-written ride of a book life-time. War-time nurse Evelyn has some tough life changes happening to her. Corporal Joel has to deal with injuries, healing, and guilt. Sorrow and changes haunt them both as they try to disco

I received Hope Rising from First Reads, the giveaway program on Goodreads. It took me a while to read it (mostly because I don’t really like to read inspirational romance), but, once I did, I regretted that it took me so long! The story captivated me immediately. I love historical romance, especially anything having to do with the last 1800s and early 1900s, and Hope Rising did not disappoint on that front.

Stacy Henrie's "Hope Rising (Of Love and War #2)" is a sweet story with two endearing main characters, Evelyn Gray and Joel Campbell. The writing is good and keeps the reader's interest. This is the kind of book my mother would love, as she is into historical romances (clean and inspirational - not the bawdy type). This was the first time I had read any of Stacy Henrie's works and I am quite pleased and would definitely buy her books again, especially as gifts for fans of the genre. A year or s

This book caught my attention from the very start as the story quickly developed. At first I thought I knew just what was going to happen but several twists kept me eager to turn the page. It also opened my eyes to the experiences that army nurses had during the war which is a part of history that I was unfamiliar with. The references to God and faith helped me relate to the characters as they faced their trials and the challenges of their lives. I highly recommend this book (and series)to anyon

Lovely romance set against the backdrop of WWI France. Evelyn and Joel are interesting characters brought together by circumstance, and what starts out as a solution to a problem turns into love. Ms. Henrie writes a historically accurate tale with beautiful style. This is Inspirational Romance at its best.
I truly enjoyed this book. Stacy really makes you fall in love with the characters. I found myself not being able to put it down because I was on the edge of my seat wanting to know what was going to happen next. I was sad when I turned to the last page because I was interested in reading more about how the characters lives unfolded. It is a wonderfully written story.
I loved this book. Henrie does a great job of mixing emotion with historical information that leaves me wanting to turn the page. This is a great read for anyone wanting to learn more about WWI and enjoy a great love story.
Beautifully written and very inspiring. A healing love story that you will read straight through and feel good when you put it down. A book you can pass to your mom, neighbor, daughter, and then save to read again another day.
Randomly picked this book up and was pleasantly surprised. I finished it in a matter of hours as I could not put it down. As a lover of historical fiction with romance, this book is a perfect combination of both. Highly recommend this as well as the others in the series.
Hope Rising is book two from the Of Love and War series. I just love Evelyn. I felt an instant connection to her from the beginning. I love the scenes she shared with Joel.
I thought this book to be enjoyable and look forward to the next one in the series.
5 stars.

Another great love story during war time. I enjoyed the nursing aspect as well since I am I nurse.
Review and giveaway posted here.
Lots of emotions but hope is perhaps the most promising. A griping read.
WWI story about a nurse, a soldier, and a little French boy.
I thoroughly enjoyed the historical aspect of this novel. The romance was sweet, but it was the love of young Louis that touched my heart.
