Losing Hope made me feel all the feels! Windsor is a word goddess who will steam your world like a shower, pull your heart strings like a puppet master and leaves you begging for more words.
This is by far my favorite book by Michelle. It is a page turner, and the characters are so well written you get swept away in the story!
When Hope finds her boyfriend in the arms of another woman she flees to her family home in Vermont to lick her wounds and start over. But a chance encounter with a stranger on the side of the road leads her into an instant attraction when they are stranded in her house in the middle of a blizzard. What starts off as a weekend fling ends up being a forever kind of love. When a secret is revealed and a horrible family connection is brought to light will this sever the connection between Hope and Gage? Or will love prevail? An emotional journey from the opening pages. With beautifully written characters and a storyline that brought tears to my eyes this was one of those books that tugged on the heart strings while also leaving the reader in a better place once it is complete.
This was my first book by the author , but won’t be my last. The characters were so well written it felt like you were watching the story unfold from there eyes.Hope came from a wealthy family , but you wouldn’t know it as you got to know her character. Gage he was a gentleman who like to experience life at the hands of a camera. Every photo he took you could feel the emotions he felt by taking the photos. Gage and hope have to find out if love is really enough to keep them together as the secrets are revealed. Definitely a happy feel good read.
This is a great story. Too long to write all about it without giving it away. But rich girl, hurt from previous relationship, meets ex-Marine with a few issues of his own. Story has some twist you may not see coming. It is a stand alone read with a HEA. I loved it. Great read.
This story had me hooked right from the start. The story was beautifully written with two characters whose chemistry set the pages on fire. True love can survive anything, even unbelievable twists and turns thrown in their direction. This is one book you will read in one sitting because you won’t want to put it down. The need to know how it all turns out will make you keep turning pages until the very end.
A beautiful heartfelt read that will leave you falling in love with Hope and Gage. From the beginning I was pulling for them to succeed and at every twist and turn I routed for them.
Stunning Read!!
This story will grab your heart and seep into your soul!
Hope needs a getaway from the city and life in general. What she doesn’t know is that fate will step in and show her what she really needs.
Gabe is just so swoon worthy! The perfect BBF! He literally stole my heart. And when his back story comes to light, well, it broke my heart.
This is just one of those books that you can’t get enough of. Michelle Windsor has cemented herself as an automatic one click for me!

I loved this book! So sweet, so steamy, so, so sexy! I loved how their story begins with just the two of them interacting with each other—no other characters to divert the attention from Hope and her sexy cabin guest. It was an amazing read…but I expect nothing less from Ms. Windsor’s books. She always delivers!
Was it fate, destiny, coincidence, mixed with a little turmoil? Yes to all, topped with sweet, hot romance! Losing hope is one of my favorites by Michelle Windsor!
This book started out good! It was moving right along no slack in the pace which I love! Hope and Gage had me hooked and their chemistry was electric. I was thinking to myself this is a good love story THEN the author went and made it AMAZING! She pulled the rug out from under me! I was reading as fast as I could! I love being kept on my toes and Michelle did exactly that! This is my first book by her and I have to say I’m hooked!
This isn’t a book you want to miss! I’m totally on a book hangover!
Michelle is a new to me author and I am so happy I was introduced to her. I like this story so much. Hope and Gage are absolutely perfect for each other. This was a fast read for me; I literally couldn’t stop once I started. I was enjoying how quickly they fell in love at her cabin in Vermont and the hot, sexy, steamy times that went along with that. The whole dynamic of how it would work when they went back to the real world intrigued me since she is filthy rich and has a very prestigious job and he is a marine now working as a freelance photographer. And then? bam!! I did not see that coming at all! I love when an author can throw a completely unexpected monkey wrench into a seemingly perfect situation. So dang good! I love her writing style and story telling ability and can’t wait to read more of her books!
Very nice romance, i liked both characters and their chemistry.
I also love the way this book is connected to the authors previous books.
Well break out writer Michell Windsor does it again!!! Winning Bid series won my heart and made me cry. Losing hope, well I am always a sucker for a good love story. This one goes beyond a good love story and takes on the role of Sensational Romance. Gage and Hope find themselves in love and torn apart at the same time. It is just my kind of story. Way to go Michelle, I am so proud of you and so pleased that you are finding the success you deserve. I am waiting for the next story to come out of your head. Love you.
From the first page to the very last, this story had me hooked. I could not put it down and I needed a few tissues as this story includes all the feels!
I loved this book! From the first page until the last this beautiful love story engulfs you and keeps you until you have recovered from Hope and Gage and their love! From the location in Vermont to the connection that Hope and Gage have right away, you are taken on this wonderful journey that Michelle writes and you don’t want it to end, well I didn’t!!
This was a beautifully written story. In the beginning of this story Hope and Gage meet by chance when Hope helps Gage who is stranded on the side of the road. A terrible storm traps the together and smoking hot chemistry drives these two together. This is an insta-love story with a twist. There was a little bit of predictability in the story for me but there were added twist I didn’t see. Even though I saw somethings coming it was told in a way that still held my attention and I enjoyed reading.
