She's found the love of her life.
Unfortunately, he loves her sister.
As World War I rages across the Atlantic in 1916, a smaller war is brewing in Boston. Faith O'Connor finds herself drawn to an Irish rogue who is anything but right for her. Collin McGuire is brash, cocky, and from the wrong side of the tracks, not to mention forbidden by her father. And then there's the small matter that he is secretly courting her younger sister. But when Collin's affections shift, it threatens to tear her proper Boston family apart.
Book 1 of the Daughters of Boston series, A Passion Most Pure will carry your heart from the sophisticated streets of Boston to the green hills of Ireland as men go off to war and women long for their return. Full of passion, romance, rivalry, and betrayal, it will captivate you from the first page.
My Review:
Wow, Wow, Wow! Words can not describe how much I loved this book. From the first page to the last this book held my attention and I could not put it down. Actually I read this 480 page book within 48 hours! A Passion Most Pure made me laugh, cry, get made at the characters, and to encourage them and want the best for them. The characters feel like real people they have all had to deal with the life they have been given and respond in their own ways. I loved how I could relate to so many of the characters. I saw myself in in Faith when she was angry at God and in Marcy when she felt like everything was falling apart around her. Even more important about this book is all the lessons Julie manages to teach us throughout this book. Many Christian fiction novels weave in the message of God's love but this one goes so much deeper than that. This is a book that will always have a special place on my bookshelf and will be re read many times. Do not just consider getting this book to read, just get it you will not be disappointed! This book deserves 10 stars out of 5, its that good!
