Oh, where to begin! There's so much to love about the latest installment by Julie Lessman! A Love Surrendered has so many beautiful facets, and I loved them all! From the unique setting of the Ocean Pier Dancing Pavilion, the dynamic characters, the heartwarming family connections, and some of the best dialogue I've ever read . . . A Love Surrendered has all the makings of a novel that will sweep you away to another time and place!

As with all of Julie's books, the writing is top notch! No matter where the story takes you, you can't help but be pulled into the scene, where your senses are sure to be awakened. You'll be surrounded by the sights, sounds, and feelings of angst, humor, passion, and love . . . and it's a beautiful thing, indeed! Like good coffee or chocolate, a Julie Lessman novel is a sweet treat to be savored! I'm so grateful that Mrs. Lessman continues to write stories that touch the heart on so many levels!

And rest assured this story is not one dimensional -- not only do we get to experience the burgeoning love of Annie and Steven, we get to peek into the lives of our favorite characters from past books in the O'Connor family saga. It's all woven together perfectly, and includes the trademark Passion with a Purpose, that readers have grown to love from Julie Lessman's novels. It's that spiritual thread that is always so well done, and never an afterthought. Not only am I entertained, I'm able to walk away from the novel having gleaned something through the beautiful messages of faith and God's love.

Since each book builds on the previous book, you'll want to be sure to start with the Daughters of Boston series, followed by The Winds of Change series. This is definitely a series that you need to read in order to get the full effect, and I highly recommend both series! It's Christian Historical fiction with drama, passion, and romance that you won't want to miss!
