Not Until Forever

Hope Springs, Book 1

De: Valerie M. Bodden

Narrado por: Emily Norman

She walked away from him once. But when she literally walks back into him—and promptly bursts into tears—he knows his heart is in trouble....

Five years ago, Spencer offered Sophie forever. But she turned down his proposal and moved away to pursue her career. Sure, he still wishes things had turned out differently, but time and distance have eased the ache. He’s plenty content with his life managing the family cherry orchard in the small town of Hope Springs, where he never has to worry about running into her.

Sophie knows returning to Hope Springs to visit her dying grandmother is a risk. For one thing, her family is a mess. And for another, Spencer lives there. But how can she let Nana go without saying goodbye? Besides, she’ll be in and out of town so fast, she’ll never even see Spencer.

So much for the best laid plans. When Sophie not only runs into Spencer at the hospital but bursts into tears right there in front of him, she’s unprepared for the way he is there for her. And for the old feelings he stirs up. Feelings that make her question the decision she made five years ago.

For his part, Spencer knows he should guard his heart. But the more time he spends with Sophie, the more he senses there’s something different about her now. Something that makes him think maybe God is giving them a second chance at forever.

A binge listen you don’t want to end. Fall in love with Hope Springs today!

Great listen!

Valerie is such a good story teller. I had the honor of reviewing this audible version for her. Sophie and Spencer are an item as they are growing up, but when he proposes she declines and moves to the city life to start a career. Her career is everything to her and the job requires everything from her. Perfect world for both of them until her grandmother is dying. Sophie has/wants to leave to go be with her grandmother. Of course her boss doesn't understand and gives her an ultimatum that she may lose her next step up the ladder if she leaves. Sophie of course makes the right choice and goes to see her grandma in the hospital as she is dying. Sophie runs into her old flame Spencer and sparks still fly. Can they get over the past and rekindle the flame of their lost years? Will Sophie go back to the city and her life there, or can she realize the trap in the industry to suck her dry? Great read and a must read to find out the answers:)

A Second Chance at Love!

Not Until Forever is a wonderful second chance love story. I loved the connection and attraction that these two felt for each other even after five years apart. The narrator did a great job and made the story one that I really enjoyed listening to.

This is a story that I read a few years ago in ebook format, but it was so nice to be able to listen to the book this time around. I really felt for Spencer and the way Sophie had broken his heart years earlier. But time and events that happen in this story could chance Sophie's perspective and perhaps finally give them a chance at love together.
