1: Bringing Passion to Life: Julie Does it Again!!
I am an extremely picky reader. VERY. I only read novels where my favourite authors review them. So when Camy Tang. (LOVE HER - who was raved about by one of my other favourites - and my mom) started raving about Julie - I was like, ahuh. Sure. Whatever. Then I read, Julie's first novel, A Passion More Pure and I was like, gobsmacked. Then I was lucky to read this in the bookstore and I swear I hadn't read so fast in my life. See I need to buy it just to re-call everything that happened :D
But Honestly, you will not be disappointed by anything Julie writes. (and she is an amazing person - in 'person'. Though I've never met her - but i hope I do, she is a genuine spirit, a true christian lady, and a consiseseur of the written word). Book Three can not come fast enough for me.
(If you're wondering what the heck to read in the mean time after you read this book - Camy Tang AWESOME. Deeanne Gist. AWESOME and Tracie Peterson. And if you can wait a few more months Liz Curtis Higgs. Queen of Fabu. and all of them led me to Julie. :) Read the book!

2: Another Amazing Story from Lessman
Julie Lessman is an amazing storyteller. And this second book in the Daughters of Boston series is no exception. After reading the first book, A Passion Most Pure, I couldn't imagine Charity having her own book. But Lessman pulled it off! She wrote another book I couldn't put down. And once again, I could not believe all the plot twists! I've learned not to try to guess what's going to happen. Thank you, Julie, for writing such an entertaining story. I can't wait for the next one!

3: Not what I had expected...
I thought that this book gave the majority of it's story to the utter spiritual lostness of Charity and her constant manipulations. What I had hoped to see was the development of her redeemed life after that pivotal moment that came between her and Rigan. I'm not saying specifically as to not spoil it for others. I also didn't like how almost everyone throughout the book exalted Faith (from the first book) as completely pure, faultless and as the 'perfect' sister. I did like this book - the reason for a 3 star and not lower - but it just didn't seem to meet the high expectations that I had for it.

4: A Great Read!
A Passion Redeemed by Julie Lessman is one of the most romantic novels I've ever read! Her characters are real people with their fair share of faults and weaknesses along with virtues. They're larger than life and I'm sure I'll remember them for a long time.
This is the second book in the Daughters of Boston series. It's a family sage that takes place right after World War One in Ireland and Boston. Charity O'Connor, is a very unusual heroine. She's a selfish, manipulative and beautiful young woman who's living in Ireland with her grandmother and great grandmother and out to catch Mitch who does his best to stay out of her way. It's the story of their love and passion and her redemption.
I highly recommend A Passion Redeemed. The characters and exciting story come to life through Ms. Lessman's fabulous writing. I can hardly wait for the next book in the series!

5: Super historical romance
I loved Julie Lessman's debut novel, A Passion Most Pure and was so excited that I would still be able to connect with the O'Connor family in A Passion Redeemed. I knew that Charity had to have a story to redeem herself after the problems in A Passion Most Pure. And sure enough, Miss Lessman didn't disappoint us in her second novel. A Passion Redeemed is touching and tears at your heartstrings. You must read it, but you'll love reading A Passion Most Pure first. I can hardly wait until the next one. Keep up the terrific writing Julie Lessman.
