A PASSION DENIED by Julie Lessman

Julie Lessman has done it again. A Passion Denied, is smokin’ hot, has more twists and turns than a roller coaster on speed, and more passion than newlyweds on their honeymoon. But the passion isn’t just physical; it’s spiritual, emotional, and logical, with a twist of vixen and seduction. Julie takes passion to the edge. An edge you want to revisit time and again.

I absolutely love reading stories where strong romance is threaded throughout the entire book. A Passion Denied, is definitely one of the best of this kind. I know this will sound cliché, but I truly could not put this book down. Julie’s characters are unforgettable, and there wasn’t one boring spot in the entire 475 pages. And the other two in the, Daughters of Boston series, are equally as fabulous as this one. So if you haven’t read, A Passion Most Pure, Book 1, and, A Passion Redeemed, Book 2, you’ve got to make haste and get them.

In, A Passion Denied, things aren’t as they appear. Secret webs of betrayals, lies, deceptions, seductions, stolen kisses, passions denied, and haunting pasts are spun throughout this book, and only God’s miraculous power can change things.

The heroine, Lizzie O’Connor is in love with John Brady and has been since she was thirteen. But John doesn’t return her love and sees her only as his little sister. Can she convince him she’s not a little girl anymore, but a woman—a woman in love?

Demons from the hero’s past haunt John, perpetually tormenting and ravishing his spirit, soul, and body. Those same demons have him fleeing from the opposite sex like a rabbit being pursued by a starving bobcat. Why? What’s he so afraid of? Will he ever be free to love? Or is John called to live a life of service to God, a service that means he can never marry? Or is he running away from something…or someone? If so, whom or what?

Charity is up to her old tricks. Is that bad or good?

Faith’s husband, Collin, is on a mission to get his wife pregnant. Is it because he really wants children, or are other motives at work here?

Patrick O’Connor discovers a hidden secret that threatens to destroy his twenty-seven year marriage to Marcy, the respect of his children, and his walk with God. What is this secret?

These are just a few teasers to whet your appetite. If you want to know the answers to these question, then purchase a copy of, A Passion Denied, to find out the answers. You won’t be sorry.

Until next time...

LOVE FINDS YOU IN LAST CHANCE, CALIFORNIA

Love Finds You in Last Chance, California By Miralee Ferrell is a sweet romance.

Even though there is mystery in this story, it’s a very relaxing, soak-in-the-tub-hot-water-and-bubbles sort of read.

Miralee Ferrell’s descriptions are exquisite. She has way of placing you in Last Chance. You can smell the air, hear the creak of saddle leather, the crunching of leaves, and the cocking of guns. The tension is tangible, and the love is sweetly palatable. Miralee’s characters are memorable. Hey, speaking of characters…

Alexia is one tough cookie. No murdering thief is going to get the best of her. Except…Is the man she falls in love with that thief? After all, he’s been hiding a secret from Alexia, and since he’s shown up, her horses are disappearing faster than a gunslinger’s draw.

Alexia’s Father dies of natural causes. Or did he? Before he dies, he hides a precious cargo. Will it remain hidden? Or, will it eventually be found? Just what exactly is it he’s trying to hide that’s so valuable? Or is it valuable? Plus, Alexia is crushed and feels betrayed by her father when she discovers that he, too, has been keeping secrets from her.

Evil lurks around the corner disguised as a friend. But which friend? Will the real enemy please stand up?

Justin discovers that Alex isn’t his friend’s son, but the man’s daughter. Does this make a difference in his plans? A saloon girl comes to town and wants something from Justin. Something she’s willing to risk her life to get it. What does she want? And why?

Many people’s lives are in danger. Why, and who, wants them out of the way?

Well, if you want to know the answers to all these questions, you’ll just have to buy Love Finds You In Last Chance, California to find out. Money well spent.

And the winners are...

A GINORMOUS THANK YOU TO ALL WHO ENTERED MY DRAWING. AND FOR ALL YOUR WONDERFUL COMMENTS.

Sorry it took so long for me to pick winners for two free copies of each title--Déjà vu Bride, and Dixie Hearts (The Bride Wore Coveralls) I've been sick for a couple of weeks, and today I finally felt well enough to have my drawing.

I tell ya, God must have wanted MARY to have a copy of each one of my books. When I first put all the names in a hat and drew them, I pulled out Mary's name for both Dixie Hearts and for Déjà vu Bride. Then I realized that I had forgot to enter a few names, so when my hubby got home, I added the names I'd missed earlier and had him draw two names for Déjà vu Bride, and two names for Dixie Hearts. He, too, pulled Mary's name out for each book.

So, CONGRATULATIONS, MARY!

And CONGRATULATIONS to PATTY, who also won a free copy of Déjà vu Bride

And to HOLLY MAG, who won a free copy of Dixie Hearts (The Bride Wore Coveralls)

The Renewal by Terri Kraus

A kiss of history-a hug of renovation-and an embrace of restoration. That's what The Renewal is.

The Renewal by Terri Kraus should really be titled: Sweet Renovation or The Master's Healing Touch.

I received the Master's healing touch while reading this story. I was deeply touched by this story and the character's lives. The Renewal is what Inspiration stories are truly all about--renewal, renovation, and restoration. We all have an area in our life that only the Restoring Hand of God can touch...as He did in Leslie and Jack's life. Each had a "demon" to overcome. Neither could do it on their own, no matter how hard they tried.

Just what are these "demons" that possess Leslie and Jack? Will they ever truly be rid of these monsters?

Well, if you really want to know, you'll just have to read, The Renewal, to find out.

Did Leslie do the right thing by moving to the town of Butler? Will her great-great-great grandmother's diary and her heritage catch up with Leslie? The two ladies share a common bond. What is it? Can this old diary help heal the evil that plagues Leslie? Leslie's ex comes to town. What is it that he's after?

Entering Jack. Wow, what a hottie. A hottie with a heart wrenching past. Can Leslie trust him? Better yet, can Jack trust himself? And what will happen when and if Leslie discovers his hidden "demon"? Will she shun him, or will she open up her arms to him?

And then there's Mike. Poor tongue-tied Mike. Will he ever win Leslie's heart? Or is it something else that he's after?

Ava, Ava, sweet little Ava, who knows only too well about her mommy's "demon". After all, she's witnessed it enough. Is that why Ava's daddy divorced her mommy?

There's a bully in this story. A class "A", numero uno jerk. One that I would love nothing more than to slap duct tape across his mouth. Just who is this mongrel anyway?

A mystery lurks behind a door that nobody wants to destroy or that nobody seems to be able to open? How come? And just what is so valuable in that room that somebody obviously did everything in their power to keep people from getting into it?

Well, if you would like to know the answer to all of the above questions, then purchase a copy of The Renewal by Terri Kraus. You won't be sorry.

Fabulous job, Terri. You touched on some very sensitive subjects and handled them very well. I'll be forever changed because of this story.

That's what Love Finds You in Humble, Texas is.

Anita Higman's business card says, "Characters you can sink your heart into." That describes the characters in this book to a "T". In fact, I already miss them.

Trudie thinks she's from another planet. Why?

Lane helps to build up her sister's image. What am I talking about? And at what cost?

Then there's Wiley and his protein bars. Wiley, and an African American boy Cyrus, dramatically change Trudie's life. How?

A tiara holds a secret from the past. What secret?

Bloomers Boutique makes a huge sale. To whom, and for what?

Rainbows, and the song Unforgettable are symbolic, and so romantic. For whom? And why?

An unusual career causes women to flee. For whom? And just what is this career change?

Well, did I ask you enough questions to wet your appetite?

If you want to know the answers to all these questions, you have to read Love Finds You in Humble, Texas. Trust me, you won't be sorry.

If you love spending time with amazing characters, then this book is for you. Plus, there are several valuable lessons in Love Finds You in Humble, Texas that you'll have to discover for yourself. My own life, is forever changed because of this amazing story by Anita Higman.
