Gemma's Reviews > Hopeless

The final book in the Chestnut Springs series and it brought the story to a satisfying close. I have enjoyed the series as a whole but it was not without its faults which were all summed up in my feelings towards this book.

My biggest issue has always been that the characters all have the same personality. Beau and Bailey started off distinctive with Bailey coming from a troubled family that taught her to be independent and hardened to other's judgement, and Beau dealing with PTSD from his experiences in the military.
However they very quickly descended into the exact same character types that we saw in the previous books. I reckon you could swap the names in any of these books and it would not make any difference at all.

Hopeless is much longer than the story warrants. Very little actually happens to justify a 400 page book. Also, as a random side note, every time Beau called Bailey "sugar tits" it gave me such a massive ick that I almost stopped reading.

But onto the positives... the world that is created in this series is wonderful escapism and the stories are entertaining to read. The spicy scenes are very well written (questionable dirty talk aside!) and I have enjoyed the time I spent with this series.
