This book is considered a standalone but we meet Liam in book one Searching for Tomorrow. He is Wrynn’s brother and is so supportive of her and her girls after she lost Tripp. If you loved book one, you will fall in love with this book.

Liam is a small country boy raised in Highlands, a small mountain town in NC. He’s nothing fancy, a no frills kind of guy. But his tenderness is what makes him a man of any woman’s dreams. Liam has such a big heart and has continued to take care of Wrynn and her girls, yet he’s so unhappy. His best friend Zack, who I just loved in this book, and his wife have just had a baby, and Liam realizes he wants his ‘happily ever after.’ Little did he know that meeting Elizabeth would change his life entirely.

Elizabeth works at a local inn, helping her grandparents who own the property. She is one of the cutest female characters I have ever seen. She is so country, quite a talker, and a whole lot clumsy. But that is a few of the things that I really loved about her. Plus, she always seems to speak her thoughts instead of keeping them to herself. So many times, I was dying laughing because she said some things that weren’t meant to be said aloud. But Liam loved her for that and so did I. I felt I was hearing her voice the more I read. It seemed like I was watching all of this play out instead of just reading about it.

As Elizabeth and Liam continue to run into each other in town, it seems they can never meet at the right time. Circumstances and family always seem to get in their way. But boy, when they do get together, their chemistry is one that you won’t soon forget. I loved seeing Liam being quite the gentleman. You definitely don’t have that in many books these days. He actually cares about Elizabeth’s feelings and knows she is someone he wants to get to know. He knows he wants her to be a big part of his life. He has finally found ‘the one.’

The more time they spend together, the more I wanted to see them together. They are beautiful together in every way. Elizabeth is not perfect, though, because when Wrynn and his family continue to call on him, she does lose her patience, but who can stay mad at Liam? I know I couldn’t. He’s such a sweetheart that you will continue to fall in love with.

As time passes and old feelings resurface, you begin to wonder if Liam and Elizabeth will get their perfect ending. No matter what Liam goes through, though, Elizabeth stands by his side, in every way. I must say this made me fall in love with her character even more. She is the rock that Liam needs and continues to stay by his side, no matter what he is going through.

As I said, this book is beautifully written, and Kathryn has done an excellent job in making you fall in love with each character, except for old Ms. Tidwell, who is causing trouble for Liam. Yes, the old bat is a thorn in everyone’s side, and I just wanted to slap some sense into her several times in this book. But I must admit, she makes it quite interesting. I really enjoyed Elizabeth’s grandparents who run the inn because they love her like a daughter. They are good old country folk that remind me so much of my own grandparents. A grandparent’s love is something everyone should have, and she certainly does. And what can I say about Zack, Liam’s best friend? He is as country as they come and quite a joker. But you do see he has a sweet side and you will love him, too.

Finding Hope for Tomorrow is a sweet and tender book with amazing characters. I think if there had been sex scenes, it would have taken away from such a heartwarming story. Their love is unlike any other, and one of those that all women dream about having one day. I know I am swooning over Liam and the touching ways he takes care of Elizabeth. Don’t get me wrong, they get tempted like everyone does at some point. But I love how Liam sets boundaries for them. If you’re looking for a dream man who you will adore and who treats a woman like a thing of beauty, you must read this 5 star book. You will not be disappointed!
