Until Mitch Dennehy, that is.Brilliant and dangerously handsome, Mitch is a no-nonsense newspaperman who wants nothing to do with her. Charity burned him once, destroying his engagement to the only woman he ever truly loved. He won't play with matches again.

Book 2 in the Daughters of Boston series, A Passion Redeemed will captivate your heart and stir your soul with a story of faith and redemption rising from the ashes of temptation, desire, and shame.
***
I have been dying to read this book since I read the first one. Julie Lessman is an amazing author when it comes to her writing and just "sucking" you in (in a good way!). I started it last night and in less than 24 hours I'm done - with all 477 pages!
However, I came away at the very end slightly disappointed. Without giving anything away let me just say that I think the ending is slightly unrealistic. There is so much pain in this book between Mitch and Charity. I guess there's a lot of pain in real life, too, but after a certain point don't you just move on? Maybe that was her point. That we can't just move on from our pain, we have to stop, forgive, and let God heal us.
At any rate, I'm still eagerly anticipating the next book in the series since I'm sure she's not done with any of these characters (and characters they are!).
