Graced with physical beauty, though shallow of heart, Charity O'Connor is a woman who knows what she wants. She sets her sights on the cantankerous Mitch Dennehy, editor at the Irish Times, who has unwittingly stolen her heart. And although the sparks are there, Mitch refuses to fan the coals of a potential relationship with his ex-fiancee's sister. But Charity has a plan to turn up the heat and she always gets what she wants--one way or another. Is revenge so sweet after all? Or will Charity get burned?
Full of intense passion, betrayal, and forgiveness, A Passion Redeemed will delight Lessman's fans and draw new ones.
Reviews
Praise for A Passion Most Pure:
"This first novel in the Daughter of Boston series is much like a typical romance novel--complete with love triangle, evil sister, passionate rendezvous, and misconception. But, Lessman is discrete, her images reflecting the decency of the era about which she writes, and compelling as she incorporates scripture into her characters' thoughts and speech. Readers will appreciate her portrayal of a loving husband/wife relationship that endures numerous strains. Not so typical a romance novel after all."--Elizabeth Wisz, CBA Retailers + Resources
"From the stylish streets of Boston to the green hills of Ireland, as men go off to war and women wait for their return, this Christian romance contains all the elements for an enchanting read. Full of romance, humor, rivalry, and betrayal, A Passion Most Pure will captivate readers from the first page."--Rebecca Roberts, Historical Novels Review
"This novel is a delightful, engrossing tale, rich in historical detail and peopled by strong, engaging characters that will satisfy those who enjoy historical Christian romance. This series will also appeal to readers looking for novels where the protagonists face real challenges to their faith and deeply grow in the process."--Carol Lynn Stewart, ForeWord
"Superb! Incredible! I loved Julie Lessman's A Passion Most Pure from the second I picked it up until the very last moment I stopped reading."--Amy L. Loos, Armchair Interviews
"I devoured this book and loved every single page. As someone who reads mainstream fiction as well as Christian, A Passion Most Pure met the need I often feel for realism and honesty, but never once compromised on faith and values. This is a thick, juicy read, and one I would pick up again in a heartbeat if I had time for rereading! I'm going to be counting the days until the next book in the Daughters of Boston Series comes out and cheering on Julie Lessman through every step of what is sure to be a long and brilliant career."--Roseanna White, christianreviewofbooks.com
