by Joy Argento (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

5 ratings

Artist Carrie Martin is struggling with the probability of profound loss when she meets Hope Garret in a grief support group. Hope is warm and easy to open up to, not to mention beautiful. Hope makes the perfect model for a series of figure paintings, and they build a friendship that helps Carrie find meaning in life again. Carrie is determined to keep things professional though, even if she can’t deny her attraction.

Temptation may prove impossible to resist and Carrie’s heart is on the line when she discovers Hope has secrets of her own. When a past mistake puts everything at risk, can the truth win out and love conquer all?

Sweet Lesbian romance

This was a very enjoyable read. I had not heard of Joy Argento before encountering her on a list of new attendees of the
Golden Crown Literary Society; so this was a happy discovery. I look forward to reading her other novels.

Cute little love story

Carrie and Hope ✨REVIEW✨
Such a feel good book!!!

Sometimes I like to take a break from my thrillers, and go back to my old stomping ground, lesbian romance! Thank you to BoldStrokesBooks and NetGalley for this copy to read and review. I am as always so grateful and appreciative for these opportunities. This book was such a feel good book I and was much needed in these crazy times we are living in!

This book follows Carrie, a lesbian, who is an artist, and has an amazing bond with her grandmother. Her grandmother is in a coma and doesn’t seem like she will be waking up again. Carrie spends all her free time at the nursing home visiting and talking to grandma. She decides to check out a grief support group. While there she meets the beautiful Hope.

After their first interaction, they become very fast friends. Hope, has just lost her husband due to cancer, and has a teenage son off at college. Hope never really loved her husband; but stayed with him to help care for him. Carrie starts to develop feelings for Hope and isn’t sure what to do with these feelings towards her seemingly straight new best friend.

This story follows the developing of a new friendship and navigating through real life issues such as death, heart ache, loss of love, and new beginnings. I highly recommend this book if you need a good smile :)

Sweet Romance

Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2021

4 Stars

TW for grief/death of a loved one.

“Carrie and Hope” is a very sweet romance. Carrie and Hope meet at a grief counseling session. Carrie is preparing for her grandmother’s death and Hope’s husband has recently passed away. The two decide the group isn’t for them but they feel an instant connection and comfort in one another and form a close friendship.

I really enjoyed the slower pace of this story. For ones wanting a lot of plot and action, this isn’t for you. This is really the story of two women meeting and becoming friends and that friendship turning into romantic love. Carrie isn’t shocked about her feelings turning romantic but she is trying to keep them hidden. Hope has spent all of her adult life with a man so Carrie assumes she’s straight. Carrie doesn’t want to scare Hope away because she’s happy being just friends so she keeps her feelings to herself.

Carrie and Hope are both in their 30’s and they are both settled into their lives. Both characters are very likable and their banter is cute and very natural sounding. This is a mature kind of relationship where they’re dealing with life and just day to day living and how those things allow them to grow together. Hope has a 19-year-old that isn’t crazy about his mom suddenly becoming a lesbian after his father’s death and Carrie is dealing with her grandmother being in coma from a fall.

I recommend this for readers wanting a more realistic romance.

I received an ARC from NetGalley and Bold Strokes Books in exchange for an honest review.

Great Read

Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2021

Carrie and Hope meet at a grief group. Carrie who although her gram is alive but been in coma for awhile now and although she was hoping her gram would wake up she knows she won’t. Hope lost her husband Tom to colon cancer her sister Marcy thinks she in denial about his lost because she thinks she having grieve but what she doesn’t know is although she cared for Tom she wasn’t really in love with him and she feels guilt because she was going to leave him when he got the news and stayed to help him through it.

Carrie and Hope becomes friends and they become more. I like both characters the chemistry between them was good I like the dialogue between them it was actually a good read with little drama except with Hope son Derrick at first but then he had his own story.

I received an ARC copy of this book from the Publisher via Netgalley and voluntarily leaving my review.

Interesting premise, but I won't read it again

Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2019

This book was okay. It was basically well written, and the characters were interesting, if not totally believable. The book was full of unnecessary descriptions of every little thing and action, which made it much longer than it needed to be, to tell the story. For new lesbians, the main characters got together really fast, and I didn't really believe that. The characters had backstory that was interesting, and I understood what motivated them, but I didn't really feel their chemistry. It was all too easy. I hate contrived conflict, and this book didn't really have that, but the book still felt kind of shallow, even though some of the subjects covered were deep.
