review 1: Quiet Elizabeth O'Connor has always had a crush on John Brady, a family friend her brother in law Collin met in the war. John Brady has a strong relationship with God, which is part of the attraction for Lizzy. She tries to figure out how to get John to notice her as a women and think of her as more than a little sister.John has a past that no one really knows about and causes him to stay away from a relationship with Lizzy. When his part of his past shows up in town, it starts causing problems, but eventually leads John to some answers he has been questioning for a long time.There is a twist or two in this book, I did not see coming. Great book for keeping your interest.Although this is the last book in The Daughters of Boston series, you can read more about the beloved O... more'Connor family in the next series Winds of Change.
review 2: Lots going on in this story! I loved visiting the O'Conner family again. Each character from the two previous novels once again face struggles in a new phase of life. Ultimately, the story is about Lizzie and Brady, but all the lessons blend perfectly together in the end. Twists and turns in every chapter had me reading long into the night, unable to sleep until I found out how it all ended. A Passion Denied is a beautiful picture of God's redeeming love and how once forgiven from sin, we sometimes struggle to forgive ourselves. This story clearly lays out how we should handle hurt and bitterness according to the Bible and was a perfect example of making God the foundation of romantic relationship. A stellar story to wrap up the Daughters of Boston series.Some feel the book was too "preachy" for their tastes because of the constant use of scripture throughout. I feel to write the story any other way would've robbed Brady and Lizzie's true characters. From the beginning (book 1, A Passion Most Pure), they've been very open with their faith and dedicated to follow God in all areas of their lives. less
