Publisher's summary

Ryder is the hardest Montgomery brother to figure out - with a tough-as-nails outside and possibly nothing too soft underneath. He’s surly and unsociable, but when he straps on a tool belt, no woman can resist his sexy swagger. Except, apparently, Hope Beaumont, the innkeeper of his own Inn BoonsBoro....

As the former manager of a D.C. hotel, Hope is used to excitement and glamour, but that doesn’t mean she can’t appreciate the joys of small-town living. She’s where she wants to be - except for in her love life. Her only interaction with the opposite sex has been sparring with the infuriating Ryder, who always seems to get under her skin. Still, no one can deny the electricity that crackles between them…a spark that ignited with a New Year’s Eve kiss.

While the inn is running smoothly, thanks to Hope’s experience and unerring instincts, her big-city past is about to make an unwelcome - and embarrassing - appearance. Seeing Hope vulnerable stirs up Ryder’s emotions and makes him realize that while Hope may not be perfect, she just might be perfect for him…

Good ending to the series

I liked the relationship between rider & hope in this last book of the series the best. The conclusion to the ghost story was also very touching. Overall the series was OK not my favorite.

Relaxing, light reading for pleasure.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Perfect Hope to be better than the print version?

Only purchased the audio and my review is based on that.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Avery was favorite because she is involved in each book in the series.

Have you listened to any of MacLeod Andrews’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Have not.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, I actually tried to stretch it out because it was so enjoyable and I will probably listen again in the future.

A Perfect Ending

Where does The Perfect Hope rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Top 10 definitely. I really enjoyed the entire series

What did you like best about this story?

Loved the chemistry between Ryder and Hope.....H O T

What does MacLeod Andrews bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I loved his 'Ryder' voice. The perfect mix of gruff and sexy.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

More than one! Like I said, the chemistry between Hope and Ryder is fantastic. They make you laugh, blush and cheer

Any additional comments?

This book is definitely R-rated due to Ryder's fondness for dropping the f-bomb. You'll hear it a few times in the other two books, but more so in this one since it is his story and Hope's.

The intimate scenes in all 3 books are PG-18 (Mature), and tastefully written. Mr. Andrews handles them professionally and allows the listener's imagination soar. Thanks Mr. Andrews!

Perfect

The complete conclusion to the trilogy. Good listening or reading. Could be read as a stand alone but better as part of the series.
