On My Nightstand - A Passion Denied by Julie Lessman

Shy bookworm, Beth O'Connor, has grown up. Her hair is bobbed, and she now goes by the name, Lizzie. Unfortunately, John Brady, still thinks of her like a kid sister. Lizzie turns to her older sisters, Faith and Charity, for advice and the fun begins.

Julie Lessman builds upon previous books. As in life, we see how the choices Lizzie and her family make affect their futures. While the book is sassy like the others, strong values are promoted. The characters experience all the trials, tribulations, and joys of life.

For the last month and a half, I've had my nose buried in Julie's series. I read, "A Passion Most Pure," while dealing with a migraine. A Passion Redeemed kept my attention, and Charity finally won a place in my heart. "A Passion Denied," robbed me of sleep because I couldn't bear to put it down before finding out what happened to Lizzie and Brady. Ah Julie, thanks for many hours of reading pleasure.

I'm watching for the next title in The Daughters of Boston series. I hope all of you will enter Monday's drawing (May 25th) for these books. The deadline is fast approaching, so don't miss out. Scroll down and get your comment in before it's too late.
