Other Reviews:
In addition to the romance, there is an element of suspense to the story as well as Joshua, Hope’s stepson, witnesses something that puts him in danger. Someone is out to keep both Joshua and Hope silent and won’t stop until they do. I really enjoyed this part of the story and loved how everything fell into place and seemed to just flow smoothly.

There is also great message woven in throughout this story about trusting in oneself, others, and in God to help you through difficult times. The author did a wonderful job of portraying this through the actions and experiences of the characters without sounding preachy.

With a few twists that I didn’t see coming, Joshua’s Hope, is a wonderful story that kept my interest throughout the ups and downs that Hope experiences as she struggles to protect and gain custody of her stepson. If you are looking for a heartwarming and touching suspense, then I’d recommend this one. — Reviewed by Lilac, Long and Short Reviews

The book is very cleverly plotted, and bowls along at a fast pace. The characters are so clearly drawn you immediately have a rapport with them and feel you could be friends, should you meet, although there are a couple of characters I wouldn’t want to meet on a dark night – or even in daylight, come to that.
I didn’t intend to read the book in one sitting but I did – it was hard to put down – a real page turner. –Reviewed by Mawgana (4.5 rating) Between the Lines.

Ms. Erhardt has created this phenomenal story that ensnares the reader from the very first paragraph. I couldn’t put the book down until the very last page. This intricate story has strong characters that come to life for the reader. The character of Peter with his domineering and abusive behavior would have been very scary to live with, especially for a very young child. Hope is one very special young lady who is willing to fight for the life of a child who she accepted as her own when she married Peter. To be willing to put your life on the line for someone else is rare, and Zack Stone is one such person. Thanks go to Ms. Erhardt for this incredible story. — Reviewed by: Teresa, Fallen Angel Reviews (Recommended Read, 5 rating)

Ms. Erhardt throws one thing after another at Hope, just like life does…
…It’s not until she hits bottom and lets go to really let God into her life that real good happens in her life. This book with its superb storyline has all of the good things that a book can have to keep us reading. Characters, dialogue, suspense all are penned in a way that I think are excellent. The book just naturally flows to a fantastic conclusion. If you need a book to lift you up, this is the one to read. But make sure you have a lot of tissues handy for the tears of frustration and joy that are sure to flow as the story unfolds.

The reader will finish the book having learned about a person’s loss of faith and the incredible journey to find it again while in the midst of a whirlwind of murder, suspense and lack of trust. This is a tremendous story that I no doubt will read again just to assure myself that lost souls can be regained and love can conquer all even during the bleakest of times. — Reviewed by Laura at Simply Romance Reviews
