PRAISE FOR HOPE IS LOST
You'll have moments of joy, you'll laugh, you'll cry, your heart will flutter and you may even make some life long friends. But believe me when I say you'll take something away with you when you leave. And you'll always end up coming back!
My head is still reeling from what I just read, I'm at that stage where I just want to start over again. I can't praise this book enough, utterly brilliant!!
This series is A MUST READ!!

Wow what can I say about Hope Is Lost except WOW. I loved this book even better than ‘A Little Faith’. I have waited months for this book and the wait was worth it.
Just like in A Little Faith I laughed, I cried, I screamed and yelled. I also fell more in love with Keanu and think I may now have a real soft spot for him.
I'm really looking forward to Joy is Found but not to the wait but if it is as good as the first two (which I know it will be) the wait will be worth it. Please go and give this new Australian author some love and enjoy her series but remember to start with A Little Faith first.

What a fantastic read! I read it in one night and didn’t put it down until I had finished. For a sophomore effort, the author has kept the same writing style and stayed true to the characters I fell in love with in her first book. I love all the guys and am looking forward to reading each of their stories (especially Text). This is another book that I highly recommend, just amazing!! *****5 stars

This is not your typical fairy tale, boy meets girl and they live happily ever after. There is more involvement into it. Emma does real great job into working each character up. No detail was left out or over thought. I highly look forward to more books in the future.

James has done it again. Flawlessly transitioning between characters to give the reader a rich and exciting reading experience. Hope is Lost adds to another story that has you aching for more of the guys and gals of Ocean Beach.
