Cancer survivor Addison Hunt knows she can’t offer any guarantees, in love or in life, and after experiencing a loss of her own, Brooke Donahue isn’t willing to risk her heart.
Addison hasn’t been with anyone since her cancer treatment and has convinced herself she is happy with the life she is building on her own. Brooke is attracted to Addison, but that’s as far as she is willing to let it go. She doesn’t want to get involved, especially not with someone whose future is uncertain. But spending time together while working on a project to raise money and awareness for cancer research has them both questioning their convictions.
Can Brooke and Addison find hope for love, even against their will?
Reluctant Hope edition by Erin Dutton Literature Fiction eBooks
I've read this book 4 or 5 times now, and until recently it's never touched me so personally. My best friend was recently diagnosed with lung cancer, and it's metastasized to her abdomen and pancreas. She's a 20+ year breast cancer survivor too. We've known each other for 10 years, and of that time, I hadn't given much thought to her breast cancer because she'd beaten it years before we'd met.Rereading this book has been like therapy, helping me deal with my emotions over her prognosis. Trying to be positive is hard, but this book has reminded me that, no matter what, I just need to be there for her.
You'll probably have a good cry if you read this book, but you'll definitely appreciate those whom you love more after reading it.

Reluctant Hope edition by Erin Dutton Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Songwriter Brooke Donahue's best friend, Diane, just died of cancer. Brooke is still full of unexpressed grief and anger and wants nothing to do with Diane's support group or anything else related to cancer.
To honor Diane, she participates in a fundraiser for cancer research and has to work with Addison Hunt, a survivor of breast cancer. Even before Diane's death, Brooke closed herself off, afraid to let herself feel too deeply, and now she doesn't want to fall in love with someone she might end up losing.
The author took a bit of a risk with the ending, but I really liked it and thought it was perfect for the book.
Brooke Donahue has lost her best friend Diane, to cancer. Before she died, Diane belonged to a cancer support group. She extracts a promise from Brooke that she will help with the groups annual fundraiser. Brooke is still reeling from Diane's death though and is reluctant to keep her promise. Cancer survivor and group member, Addison Hunt, knows there are no guarantees that she or anyone else will survive or even have a lasting meaningful relationship, but she has to try. Addison more than likes Brooke, so does Addison's daughter, Ramsey. But Brooke, although finding Addison attractive and lovable, just can't bring herself to get involved in a relationship with her. She can't allow herself to fall in love just to have her heart broken if Addison's cancer returns. The more time Brooke and Addison spend together working on the fundraiser, the more Brooke begins to question the rights and wrongs of having a relationship and the more Addison falls in love with her.. It's not until Brooke has a sharp shock that she begins to wonder if her thinking is right. Will Brooke be able to let go of her negative feelings and allow herself the chance of of love and a family with Addison and Ramsey?
A powerful story extremely well written with sympathy and understanding about a disease, which in one way or another will probably touch us all in some way. That is not to say this book is full of doom, far from it. The book is about hope and survival. It doesn't hurt that it is hot and romantic either. A book that once I started, I just had to read on until I finished. Another of Erin's books that will have a permanent place on my re-read shelves.
Not quite a standard romance novel by Erin Dutton.
On the one hand you have the standard romance girl meets girl, crisis, girl finally gets girl storyline with characters that are a bit cliched. Why does it always have to be the woman that is characterized as butch/more butch that is brooding and a loner and what not, and the not so butch one is a genuinely nice people person? Shake it up a bit, people!!
But on the other hand you have a touching story of two women, one a cancer survivor, one has just lost her best friend to cancer. It allows for a lot of genuine emotion, for examining how different people deal with pain and the challenges life throws at you.
The ending is very daring in the context of this genre but I liked it a lot. A lesser novel would have tacked on an epilogue, I was very happy to not find one.
I probably would have enjoyed it more if the characterizations of the main characters had not been quite as 'been there thousand times, really getting over it', but maybe the characterizations were the safety net of an otherwise unusual lesfic novel.
The book was ok but there wasn't much of a plot and what plot there was was pretty predictable. Not Erin Dutton's best.
Good
I tend to get into reading books by an author if enjoy their writing. When I do, I like to read the books in order of publication. I read many mystery serials by female authors such as Sara Paretsky and Sue Grafton so I love the character development of any book. Erin Dutton's books have shown her growth as a writer. Her character development in Reluctant Hope is good. I am a hopeless romantic at heart and I know many romance novels can be formulaic after a while. Dutton's character development keeps you invested in her people. This one left me begging for a sequel. Please tell me, there's something in the works!!
The book affected me so much, breast cancer is scary; a scary reminder of my first breast biopsy suffered back in 1974. The book made me cry, anxious, and happy.
In a novella sort of way the author is telling us to examine our selves because the sooner you treat any abnormality within our body, the sooner we will heal. Cancer is no joke, it affects the patients and their families.
A wonderful love story of two ladies who fear to change the routine of daily life. Fear of living to the max and fear to open up to new beginnings. Yes I would highly recommend this book
A True Page Turner. This is the third book of 's Erin Dutton I have read and next to Lyn Gardner, she has become another of my favorite author. Keep it up. By the way will there be a part 2?
I've read this book 4 or 5 times now, and until recently it's never touched me so personally. My best friend was recently diagnosed with lung cancer, and it's metastasized to her abdomen and pancreas. She's a 20+ year breast cancer survivor too. We've known each other for 10 years, and of that time, I hadn't given much thought to her breast cancer because she'd beaten it years before we'd met.
Rereading this book has been like therapy, helping me deal with my emotions over her prognosis. Trying to be positive is hard, but this book has reminded me that, no matter what, I just need to be there for her.
You'll probably have a good cry if you read this book, but you'll definitely appreciate those whom you love more after reading it.
