ARC received via Netgalley for an honest review.

I have not read the first two books in the Briar Creek series, but this did not leave me wondering.

I am a sucker for a friends-to-lovers romance, and Hope Springs on Main Street was a great way to spend a Spring afternoon.

Sometimes you can't see right what is under your nose - and that is how things are with Jane.

Recently divorced. Single mum to a beautiful little girl. Fodder for the small town gossip mill.

There were so may times I just wanted to hug her so hard!

At the same time I wanted to throat punch her ex hubby Adam. There is only one way to describe him.



Henry, Adam's best friend is back in town, and things are about to get interesting! I would have thought Adam would have been more upset with Henry and his burgeoning friendship with Jane. But then again, he wasn't that worried about Jane when he was with her, so I guess that I shouldn't have been too surprised.

I adored Jane's relationship with her sisters, Grace and Anna.

But Henry.... sigh. The more we learn about him, the more we learn about his feelings for Jane. You can't help but love the guy. Sure, I wanted to slap him around the ears for procrastinating about Jane, but still loved him.

There was something that was done that I would have liked to have known more about, as it did play a pretty big part in the direction of the story.

But that could just be me!

This is my first Olivia Miles books, but I will definitely be making time to go back and read the first two Briar Creek stories.
