Hope Restored

Gallagher Brothers, Book 3

By: Carrie Ann Ryan

Narrated by: Gregory Salinas

The Gallagher Brothers series from New York Times best-selling author Carrie Ann Ryan concludes with the final brother who thought he had everything to look forward to, and the one woman who can handle him.

Life isn't worth living if you don't fight to live. That's what Murphy Gallagher learned at a young age when cancer ravaged his body not once, but twice. Over the course of his survival, he lost his parents and his childhood, but he's been healthy for years and has become a man he hopes his family is proud of. But when his world tilts on its axis yet again, he'll have to learn what it means to fight not only the unknown but also his attraction to his best friend.

Tessa Stone works hard and plays harder. She's spent her life trying to figure out who she is in the present rather than looking back. Yet when she's forced into close proximity with Murphy, she'll have to not only be his rock but learn how to relax enough to maybe let him be hers, as well. But seduction doesn't stop when the world seems to, and close encounters of the naked kind might just be the first step in something much more complicated than either of them bargained for. Life, though, is for living, after all.

Hot and steamy!

This book is awesome. I love the story between Tessa and Murphy they are made for each other. Hope Restored was perfect end to the Gallagher Brothers. If you haven’t read or listened to the others go now. The chemistry between these two has been hot since they first met and to finally see them take a chance on each other was heart warming and sexy.

I could not stop listening until it was finished. I have read this book before but listening to it by Gregory Salinas it was so much hotter. It is super steamy!

Loved it!

I got a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review so here we go:

What an emotional friends to lovers ride... Tessa & Murphy have been playing the flirting game for a long time now. But when Murphy 's cancer returns once more everything is bound to change. Their new circumstances make not only grow their attraction by the second, but also realize that every day that passes it's not coming back. Will they act on their feelings?
Amazing loveable characters, super hot steamy scenes and great narrator.

Life really is for the living

It is no secret that I’m a Carrie Ann Ryan fan. I own every book she’s written. I was especially touched by Murphy and Tessa’s story. This truly is a story about overcoming the past and the residual fear that remains so that you can embrace the present and the future. These characters each have their strengths and weaknesses, as all human beings do. Carrie Ann brings a realistic view of what is like to have to face a foe that you thought you had already beaten. I would recommend this book as well as any of her others.

Wow! I think my speakers are still steaming!

I hadn't read any of this series yet, but Murphy & Tessa pulled me right in. This is a well-crafted story read by a talented male narrator. I haven't found many male narrators that can keep my interest, but this one did.

I can't wait to read more about the Gallaghers!

Fantastic

Love the Gallagher brothers. They are so grossly and sexy. The women who they find to love are so lucky. Carrie Ann Ryan writes her books son that you feel like you are part of the group and are seeing things happen right in front of you.

Murphy the teddy bear

Murphy, the youngest Gallagher brother...the big teddy bear...the guy who’s been battling leukemia since childhood. Enter Tessa...bff to Murphy’s soon-to-sis-in-law. The two have flirted off and on over the past months. Suddenly Murphy is in need of a place to stay and Tessa needs a roomie...match made in heaven? This was, by far, my fave in the series. The chemistry between these two was smoking! There were some sad moments as well as a stalker to keep you really into the story. Sad to see this series come to an end.

An Awesome Story!

This book can be read as a standalone but I would recommend reading the first books in the series so you understand all the different relationships and how this couple truly comes together. This book will make your heart hurt. Everything that Murphy goes through is heart wrenching and when you find out Tessa's problems it just adds to it. There are moments in this book that if you have any kind of heart, you will cry. Especially if you have ever been through anything like it. I loved this story. Yes, he is going through hell. But it also shows us there is light at the end. That life can still go on and be absolutely amazing even through the darkest times. Its a beautiful story! The narrator is great. He hooks you from the start and kept it interesting while telling a wonderful story!
