An Undaunted Hope by Julie Lessman

Wow, this one had more roller coaster rides than a theme park. An Undaunted Love, by Julie Lessman had me turning the pages almost faster than I could read them. As a huge fan of Julie’s stories, I definitely wasn’t disappointed. An Undaunted Love, is as good if not better than her others. Filled with her usual sweet, poetic romance and much, much more.

One thing I loved about, An Undaunted Love, was, just when I thought things were going to go one way, Julie yanked me another direction. When the ride smoothed out a bit, wham! Another quick drop. Then a sharp yank in the opposite direction. Then the ride smoothed out and I took a nice slow journey to the top until… Bam! My stomach slammed into my throat, then just as quickly dipped it into my toes. Several times, I didn’t know if I was coming or going. My stomach and heart took more dips than an ice cream parlor soda jerk.

Hmmm speaking of Soda Jerk. This story has one, but it’s not who you think it is. This man’s passion and kisses are sweeter and better than a loaded hot fudge sundae on a hot summer day. Who is this man? I’ll let you figure it out for yourself.

Katie Rose O’Connor wants to tackle to the world for women’s rights. Her ambitions take her down roads she thought she would never travel. Just when she thinks she has things all figured out, her life takes on another sharp turn of events. None of which fit her well-laid plans. Or do they, and she just doesn’t know it? As if! I’ll never tell. All I can say is, this girl encounters more romance and beaus than a whole book shelf of novels.

And this story isn’t just about Katie, it’s about the whole gang in Julie Lessman’s, The Daughter’s of Boston series, plus a whole lot more. So, if you enjoyed, A Passion Most Pure, A Passion Redeemed, and, A Passion Denied, you will love this one. I sure did.

Until Next time…

See ya ~ ~ ~
