Julie Lessman is one of my favorite authors. When I pick up one of her books, I know that
my heart will be wrung out and stepped on in agony and sympathy with her
characters. This is a story with not
one, but two love stories and I enjoyed and hoped for a happy ever ending for
both of them. Our first couple is Meg and Bram
(Abraham). Meg has been away in France
for a year and comes back not as the chubby, insecure girl she was, but a woman
with confidence in herself and the freedom to make her own decisions. Bram, who has been like a big brother to her
since she was seven, realizes his feelings may have changed for Meg now that
she is back home again. Let’s not forget Devin, the boy who bullied
Megan for years who sees her in a different light now and of Amelia the one whom
Bram’s parents’ hope for a joining of their two families.
My favorite love
story was that of Andrew, Logan and Cait, Meg’s widowed mother, which seems to
have been going on throughout the series.
I was on pins and needles for their love triangle to reach a satisfying conclusion.
All of her heroes seem worthy to root
for at first, but don’t be fooled there are still a few hidden scoundrels and
rakes that need to be redeemed. I hope
she writes about those next. Anyway, I think I may have cheated myself a
bit by reading this third book in the series before the first two. I missed seeing the growth of the family dynamics
and relationships and, of course, the first two couples’ love stories. However,
that being said, I enjoyed this newest release by Julie and I enjoy how passionate
her characters are about those they love and their God. I
received this book from Revell, and the opinions are my own.
