5 stars does NOT do this novel justice. And I am completely unbiased in that statement. So few books stir me to feel hemmed in by our rating system and make me wish to burst from that bubble and rate a book the way I REALLY want to rate it. Like with A Heart Revealed a story worthy of way more than 5 stars. But it deserves every single one of those glowing yellows. I am a diehard Lessman fan, but none of her novels have been able to knock A Passion Most Pure (her debut novel) from the covetedJulie Lessman has been hit hard by people who think she is too edgy. I disagree because her books are realistic and never cross the line. Emma is a sweet and lovely heroine. Sean could be exasperating at times but I found it interesting that he never really contemplated infidelity even though he was not a Christian. It shows that he respected Emma and had a morality that even for that time might have wavered. This book is one of the most morally upholding books I have read in awhile. It is also
Drama, Drama, Drama in Julie Lessman's A Heart RevealedAre you surprised by the title of this post? Well you won't be since you now know that this is a review of Julie Lessman's latest novel, A Heart Revealed. If you are at all familiar with this series you know that drama is the key to each of these stories. If you're like me the more drama, the better and it comes in spades in this book.Continuing the O'Connor saga is the story of Emma Malloy and Sean, the eldest O'Connor sibling. Each has a
Scratch what I wrote in my review of A Hope Undaunted; I can and I will pick a favourite OConnor book, and its this one. Sweet mother of pearl, it was just wonderful. I was completely swept away from page one, and thoroughly enjoyed myself until the end. All previous little nitpicky things from the other books magically had no appearance here (except for the earlobe nipping - there seems to be no doing without that). No passionate kissing between the H/h at random/innoportune/inapropriate
Sean O'Connor wants only one thing--to spend all his days in the bliss of bachelorhood. When he takes a job working with his little sister's best friend, Emma Malloy, he does the one thing he never meant to do. . . he falls in love her with her. There's only one problem . . .she's already married. Emma Malloy escaped the hands of her abusive husband eleven years ago when she fled from Dublin to Boston. Still, she intends to keep the vows she made to her estranged husband and God. But nothing
This book tackles two very delicate and hard-to-address subjects--faithfulness in the face of abuse, and emotional adultery. Pride, anger, and violence are also met head-on. I read this book as much for information as enjoyment, since I'm working on a novel with a very similar main theme. The pacing is well done and characters are believably, painfully flawed, but the grace of our loving God overshadows throughout. Some religious views I didn't agree with since I'm not Catholic, but the main
Julie Lessman.Not that I know how she does it, but every time Julie Lessman writes a book, the last book I read of hers gets bumped to "my-second-all-time-favorite-book." I read in a blog interview a while back about how she'd initially made up the character of Emma Malloy just to fill a role... until the moment she wrote Emma meeting Sean O'Connor over dinner at the O'Connor household. And I tell you--I don't know if it's just because I've been training my brain for so long to think like a
