Resurrecting Hope Paperback – April 24, 2017

4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars 246 ratings

Owned... That's all I was. Property to be used at Jack's discretion. A plaything for a maniacal madman hell-bent on watching me suffer. I loved him, but the longer I stayed, the more twisted his games became. I had no choice. I had to run. Hiding in small town USA, I have a new name, a new look, a new life. Quiet and safe, locked away from my tortured past. But when Hank saunters into town, he kicks up more than sawdust and dirt. He sparks desires inside me I can no longer hide; ignites a flame long since burnt out. Now as the lies begin to pile around me, my secrets slip out one by one. The past is coming. It's time for me to run again. Because despite my feelings for Hank Lawless, the devil will find me and he wants what's his. **Strong sexual themes and violence, which could trigger emotional distress, are found in this story. Certain scenes are graphic and could be upsetting to some. Please take this into account before reading.**

A woman with a dark past; a man with no plans for his future and a small town in the south. These are the bones of the story, but not the heart. The real story is in the details, the insights, and the backstory that is revealed one puzzle piece at a time. From the very first words, all I wanted was to find out who Hope Moon is and how she came to be.

I have only recently discovered Jane Anthony and I can honestly say she is on my list of must read authors. As in her previous books, Resurrecting Hope is very smartly written and captivating. She has created three dimensional characters in Hope and Hank and allowed their story to evolve, rather than just serving it up wrapped in a bow. The build up kept me interested in their lives, their story. And I love that!

Resurrecting Hope offers all the feels from love to anger, sadness to joy and fear to ecstasy. There are Oh s**t moments, in between the twists that made me think WTF; intermingled with sensual moments that left me needing to fan myself to cool my sparked libido.

In conclusion... I FLOVE this book. Ms. Anthony definitely delivered a sexy, intriguing and well written story. I highly recommend Resurrecting Hope to all who enjoy suspenseful romance. I rate this book 5 absolute stars and can't wait for the next offering from this author.

Hope's new life comes from one ending. Lucky for her, when the door closed- she found a window.

Jane Anthony tells a tale. The characters could be your neighbor but I couldn't connect to them. I liked the storyline. I just didn't love it.

Absolutely phenomenal!!! I have read every single one of Jane Anthony's books and I have to say this is her best one yet!! It is a dark romance with some tough scenes to read but if you can handle that, and thoroughly enjoy this genre, then this is a must read! Follow Hope & Hank through one hell of a roller coaster. When I thought I knew what was going to happen next, a huge twist blew me away. I felt so many different emotions from beginning to end. From happy to sad, from anxious to scared. It's all wrapped up in this beautiful book! I also love the alternate point of views and the diary entries. It really helps to bring the whole story together. It gives you a look into the past and tells you how both characters feel about each other! Hope is a beautiful soul having been through hell and deserving her happily ever after. Hank is just a guy hoping to be what Hope needs. Things will try to ruin it, but as long as they have each other, they can withstand anything. Read the synopsis yourself to decide if this is the book for you... However, I will say this... If you love a good dark romance with hot sex and exciting twists and turns, this book is for you!

It's a story you've probably read before with a twist.
Rebecca/Hope gets involved with the wrong man, then flees the abusive relationship,
hides out in a small town where she meets a man capable of healing her heart and soul.

The twist is the viciousness that lives inside the man she fled.
Read the warning as there are graphic scenes of violence/abuse.

Coincidence or fate? Another man, Hank comes into Hope’s life twice.
Once as a stranger, the next a neighbor.

Be prepared to blush with the raw erotic scenes.
Each is given a second chance but there’s danger ahead and secrets
that will either strengthen or destroy them.
Both Hope and Hank are damaged and it’s their painful memories
that bond them together.
Angst, hot sex, secrets and danger, what else could a reader ask for.

This is the 3rd. book I've read from Jane Anthony and I'm sure they'll be many more.

Wow! What an amazing book! I was hooked from the beginning to the end! Once I started I couldn't put it down! Resurrecting Hope is hot, sexy, heartbreaking and will keep you on the edge of your seat!
Hank Lawless definitely did not disappoint! Hank is an alpha male that's tough and very good with his hands, he's sweet and loving and so deliciously hot!!!
Hope Moon is a sweet and kind single mom that's guarded and righty so! The pain and suffering she experienced from her mobster husband just broke my heart. The chemistry between Hank and Hope is so sexy and passionate it will leave you swooning and begging for more. This is Jane Anthony's first dark romance and in my opinion she nailed it! Jane you are amazing!!! I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves an amazing love story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Blown away!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 2, 2017
Jane Anthony has done it again this book is an absolute page turner. Resurrecting Hope has blown me away. It's darker than Jane's normal books but OMG so amazingly good and I didn't want it to end.

The book has diary entries from the past giving a glimpse of what Rebecca had to endure and 2 POV's so you can really get into their heads.
There's sadness, fear, hatred, lust, happiness, love, scorching hot sex scenes and emotional rollercoaster times that will have you screaming in your head 'NO that can't happen'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hard to put down
Reviewed in Australia on April 25, 2020
This is a really well written book, love the character development. Hope's life with her abusive mobster husband is told through her journal. She has run and hidden in a small town where she now has a good life. She lives in constant fear her ex might discover her whereabouts.
Hank moves in next door with his brother - he was a hot and steamy one night (actually day) stand and they were never supposed to meet again. He's the complication her life doesn't need but one she very much needs - Hank and Hope have hot chemistry.
I really can't recommend this book enough, at times hard to read as the journal entries revealing the terror of her former life run alongside the story of her current life but totally worth it.
