Eloise Drake's prim demeanor hides the turbulent past she's
finally put behind her--or so she thinks. A mathematical genius, she's now a
successful accountant for the largest engineering project in 1908 New York. But
to her dismay, her new position puts her back in the path of the man
responsible for her deepest heartbreak.
Alex Duval is the mayor of a town about to be wiped off the map. The state plans to flood the entire valley where his town sits in order to build a new reservoir, and Alex is stunned to discover the woman he once loved on the team charged with the demolition. With his world crumbling around him, Alex devises a risky plan to save his town--but he needs Eloise's help to succeed.
Alex is determined to win back the woman he thought he'd lost forever, but even their combined ingenuity may not be enough to overcome the odds against them before it's too late.

My Thoughts:
Elizabeth Camden is a wonderful storyteller. There is only
one of her stories that didn't work well for me. Don't worry. I won't tell, but
you can find all my reviews on Amazon. Anyways, A Desperate Hope finishes her first series. I have enjoyed all
three novels. I love how her heroines are educated and don't mind helping the
little man. In this book, Eloise wants a place to be needed, but she returns to
her home and runs into Alex, her first love. It is tangled emotions at first
sight, but eventually, they learn to grasp and control their emotions and allow
love to blossom. I really enjoyed the plot. It was different than anything I
have ever read. Camden kept me engrossed in the plot, and I finished the novel in
a little over three hours. I had a hard time putting it down. There is even a hint of a mystery in
the novel, which I loved. Overall, A
Desperate Hope is a wonderful ending to the series. I really enjoyed the
characters and anxiously await what Camden comes up with next. If you are a fan
of Camden's other stories, then I recommend you pick this book up.
I received a complimentary copy of A Desperate Hope by Elizabeth Camden from Bethany House Publishers,
but the opinions stated are all my own.
My Rating:
5 out of 5 stars
