Never Past Hope
Triangular Trade Trilogy book 2
by Janine Mendenhall
| -From the back cover- Miss Mary Hope Adsley always considered herself to be the sensible one. But now, her sensibilities are unraveling around a man she thought she knew. After he attempted to marry her best friend – for money, no less – authorities charge Sir Steven Likebridge with masquerading as a gentleman and abduction. With his execution days away, Mary Hope desperately seeks to learn the truth about the man she loves. Will the truth turn out to be worse than his lies? ISBN-13: 978-1946016591 She's a saint, he's a criminal, can they find love... I started this book with some reservations. I mean, the object of the heroine's romantic affections is the despicable villain from the last book! I wasn't sure I wanted to give the rake a second chance. But ultimately that is what Never Past Hope is about, forgiveness and redemption. Each of Janine Mendenhall's characters struggle with some aspect of one of both of those words. A struggle which I think so many can identify with. I'll confess that it took me a bit to get into the story, I was just so deadset on disliking Steven and I thought that Mary Hope was a naive fool for her persistence. But after awhile they both grew on me a bit and I began to take an interest in how the story could possibly have a happy ending. |  This Book received a 3.5 Bark rating.

Never Past Hope couldn't have been more perfectly titled, the play-on-words with the heroine's name, and even more the overarching themes of the story. I think I actually may have liked this book better than the previous one, especially with the addition of family secrets and a missing object. I'll be curious to see where Janine Mendenhall takes her characters in the last book of the Triangular Trade Trilogy.
