LOVED it! Sarah M. Eden has a way of writing so beautifully that you feel for the character, happy when they are happy and sad when they are sad. I think I cried 5 times throughout this book. I will be honest, after book 2 I wasn't happy that Katie picked Joseph. Now I'm finally ok with it because I love Tavish so much and he has been given all the love and happiness he deserves!

DNF after reading 60% - it has a promising start but it dragged on for way too long, meandering and becoming sappy.

Another winner from Sarah Eden... love this series almost as much as the Jonquil brother series!

Love this third book in the Longing for Home series. Sarah Eden is so good at taking characters with serious problems and making them relatable and sympathetic. In this story, Cecily is sent to Hope Springs to try to help Finbarr who has been left blind by a horrible fire. He is struggling and angry. His brother Tavish is at his wits end trying to help his brother as well as hold his other family members together. When he first meets Cecily, he is skeptical of her abilities and not only that but she is English, an enemy to the Irish. As Cecily, who is going blind herself, begins teaching Finbarr and making a difference, Tavish begins to see her in a different light, but will his stubborn Irish family ever accept her?

This is a beautiful love story and a fast read. I enjoyed the characters and their various struggles. Highly recommend this series!

Goodness...this book was amazing! Actually, this entire series has been wonderful and I can't wait to read the rest. Tavish and Finbarr been my favorites throughout the series and I loved seeing both of them overcoming their sorrows and trials. And Cecily was a wonderful character and just the perfect mix of firm, loving, and funny.

It’s a story of loss, grief and loneliness. It is also a about hope, forgiveness and love. So beautifully done. A story about a family so broken by what has happened to them and the new stranger woman in town who came to give them back their lost hope while she struggles with her own loss and grief. I grow to love the characters as the story unfolds and I do hope you’ll come to love their story as I do.

Though it’s a part of a series you can read it as a standalone.

I loved going back to the town of Hope Springs and seeing these wonderful characters again! There has been so much heartbreak in this town and with these families and it is not easily fixed. Tavish and Cecily were perfect for each other (even though it took them a while to realize it themselves) and theirs was a journey of love and loss and pride and selflessness and forgiveness and hope.
