A few years ago I read a book about a woman who visited Ireland and the ensuing story. Well, last month I chatted with her about her Forever Series and especially, Forever Free. Listen in and see why I am excited to check out this series (especially #4!)

I loved Hope's author history--from the book that people thought was about someone a lot like her to the opposite, to yet another opposite, and back to familiar territory (but not like her again!)
We chatted about learning how to write first a book, then a series, then a novella, and now back to stand alones. I love that she, too, is a discovery writer. With her great ideas, I'm eager for her new book next summer, too
I meant to ask her about reading order, but forgot. I asked after we stopped recording and learned that the books are technically stand alones, but it is a good idea to read from the beginning through to the end.
Forever Free by Hope Toler Dougherty
Phoebe Sinclair combines her love of flowers and teaching to
nurture a cut flower business on her grandfather's land. She has
her hands full growing the farm, growing her customer base, and
dealing with her growing attraction to the aloof man who
volunteered to help make her farming dream come true.
Can she focus on her main job, or will a pair of yearning eyes and
a hurting heart divert her worthy goals?
Heath Daniels has resigned himself to a life of singleness as he
watches his siblings couple up and set wedding dates. Tracking
their happiness, however, is more difficult than he expected. A
real struggle, in fact.
Feeling old troubles—from the bad time when he dropped out of
college to explore less-than-noble pursuits—creep back to tempt
him, propelling him to volunteer for manual labor that leaves him
exhausted at the end of every day—and out of trouble.
His additional hours of agri-business, however, lead to more
struggles with an intriguing farmer. Does he have the strength to
resist old temptations as well as a beautiful new one?
