In Good Hope, Piper sees herself as a woman totally in control. That control frays when her sister becomes engaged to her ex. Not only is she asked to be the maid of honor, her sister wants Piper to make her wedding dress!
Piper thought she was doing the right thing, keeping the real reason for that long-ago split a secret from her family. She now sees her mistake.
After ditching a promising career in NYC, Anders Cross has spent the past three years crisscrossing the country, trying to find the soul he’d lost in his pursuit of success. When he arrives in Good Hope to visit his brother, it’s supposed to be just another pit stop.
That was before Piper. As the two grow close, old lives become roadblocks to growing love. In order to embrace a future together, Piper and Anders must each confront the past. The stakes couldn’t be higher. Not with lasting happiness on the line.
Cindy Kirk pairs bridal shop owner Piper Ambrose and former advertising executive Anders Cross in True To You in Good Hope. I loved that Piper and Anders connected at Beck and Ami Cross’s wedding. The spark of attraction between the couple made this second chance romance hard to put down.
Piper and Anders are both at a cross roads. Piper has a lot on her plate; personally and professionally. Her once successful bridal salon is struggling since it moved its location and her mother and sister are pressuring her to create a bespoke bridal gown. Anders abruptly left a successful position at an advertising agency and has been working out west for years as an outdoor guide. He’s agreed to stay in Good Hope for the holidays as he visits with family and figures out a career path.
Cindy Kirk creates memorable, relatable characters and is a fabulous storyteller. Piper and Anders have a lot in common- both are strong, pragmatic individuals. Loved the honesty in their conversations and that Anders understood Piper’s reluctance to trust people. Cindy Kirk has created a deep friendship between Bea, Charlotte and Piper in the past three Good Hope books. I was glad to see these three women support each other in Piper’s story and that my favorite matchmaker, Gladys, made several well timed appearances in the novel! Enjoyed that the author wove both Piper’s and Ander’s’ family members into the storyline as it provided a lot of insight to the plot.
Piper and Anders story is a fantastic addition to the Good Hope series—it’s a powerful story of forgiveness, hope, love and community set in Door County, Wisconsin. I look forward to reading about the next couple who is gifted with Gladys’ relationship cards!
I highly recommend True to You in Good Hope! It is a feel good book –which is exactly the type of book needed in these uncertain times. Pick up a copy, pour a glass of wine and settle in for a fabulous story!
