From Sarah M. Eden, the USA Today Bestselling author of the Longing for Home series, LOVE REMAINS is a new romance novel set in the beloved world of Hope Springs.
For nearly a year, Tavish O’Connor has carried the crushing weight of his family’s future on his shoulders. He has taken on the care of his youngest brother, Finbarr, who lost his eyesight in a terrible accident. But the lad needs more than Tavish can provide. Finbarr needs hope.
Cecily Attwater specializes in hope. As a tutor to the newly blind, she has dedicated her life to helping others overcome the obstacles she herself has conquered. Her new assignment in a remote corner of Wyoming proves trickier than usual: Finbarr refuses to learn. To make matters worse, his family—and the other Irish townspeople—are less than thrilled to discover an Englishwoman in their haven.
Cecily’s only hope lies in securing the cooperation of her pupil’s brother Tavish, who happens to be her harshest critic and quite possibly the most frustrating man she’s ever known.
For Finbarr’s sake, Tavish and Cecily forge an uneasy alliance that, as the weeks pass, tiptoes toward something deeper than either dares admit or face, and toward a future they know to be impossible. There can be no hope of a happy outcome for an Irishman and an English woman amongst a people reeling from violence and centuries of hatred between their two homelands.

I enjoyed this heartwarming story. I have not read the other books in this series but I had no problem reading this as a stand alone.
Tavish and Cecily were both wonderful characters. Tavish is so willing to take on the cares of his whole family and be their rock that he has never allowed himself to grieve his own losses. Cecily is so giving in spite of her own loss and pain. Together they learn to open themselves up to healing and hope and a new love.
I admired Cecily and the way she handles herself and the way she is determined to reach Finbarr in spite of his family. I hurt with her when the O'Connor's and the town shun her because she is English. I enjoyed reading about the changes and growth they all make in order to give this book a happily ever after!
