A Passion Most Pure by Julie Lessman
From Amazon.com
Product Description
Refusing to settle for anything less than a romantic relationship that pleases God, Faith O’Connor steels her heart against her desire for the roguish Collin McGuire. But when Collin tries to win her sister Charity’s hand, Faith isn’t sure she can handle the jealousy she feels. To further complicate matters, Faith finds herself the object of Collin’s affections, even as he is courting her sister. The Great War is raging overseas, and a smaller war is brewing in the O’Connor household. Full of passion, romance, rivalry, and betrayal, A Passion Most Pure will captivate readers from the first page. Book 1 of the Daughters of Boston series.
I loved this book! The passion was so realistic and the emotional drama between the characters, especially the sisters, was very genuine.
I read the third book in the Boston series awhile back, and I reviewed it here. I read it for a blog tour and I loved it so much that I went to Family Christian and purchased the first and second novels in the series. However, I suggest, if you’re interested in reading this series, that you read the books in order. I would’ve done that myself if I’d realized that I’d enjoy the books so much!
Since childhood, Faith O’Connor has always had a crush on handsome Collin Mcguire. Collin and Faith have been friends briefly in the past, however, Faith must accept that Collin is in love with her beautiful sister, Charity. Collin, a good boy gone bad, finds himself smitten with Faith, but can’t accept her deep religious beliefs. Charity, knowing the depth of her beauty, is elated to snag Collin for herself. The emotional turmoil between these characters, as well as the doom of a war, are the perfect ingredients for a passionate, page-turning novel. Just like the third book in this series, I enjoyed the realistic physically charged attraction between the characters. It was great being able to read a Christian novel that actually tells how it feels to kiss your love interest!
I have the second book in the Daughters of Boston Series in my to-be-read pile!

All three of these make my favorites list. I love the way Julie paints her characters. She makes them so real – with faults and troubles – but wanting to be who God made them. I also agree with you, the woman knows how to write a kiss! lol
So now you and I have both read books 1 & 3 in the Daughters of Boston series. LOL! I still have to purchase book 2 but I absolutely intend to do so. Julie is a wonderful writer.
I just recently read this novel, and I loved it as well! Your review was perfect, Cecelia!
I’m currently reading the second book in the series.
Blessings,
