Julie Lessman - A Passion Denied

It's the Roaring 20's and Elizabeth, or Lizzie as she goes by now, is all grown up. She has changed her look to accentuate the fact that she is a woman now, not a little girl - bobbed her hair, figure flattering dresses, make-up, etc. She is longing for Brady to notice her as the woman she is and to stop treating her like she is the little sister he never had.

Brady has a past that has haunted him for years, one that he has yet to deal with and makes him feel unworthy of being with Lizzie. When a man from his past visits him, it all threatens to come to light.

I loved seeing a more in depth view of Lizzie,

because she was only a minor character in the first two books and an adolescent at that. I feel as though I know her so much better now.

A Passion Denied was a wonderfully enjoyable read, and I highly recommend it! I would strongly suggest that you read A Passion Most Pure and A Passion Redeemed before you read this book - as this story is a continuation of a family saga.

When did Brady's sweet, innocent Beth become Lizzie, the girl of his dreams? For Elizabeth O'Connor that day couldn't come fast enough! Falling in love with Brady was as natural as breathing for her, now if the bull-headed man would just admit that she isn't his "little sister" but the woman that God created for him. Another too-good-to-put-down read from Julie Lessman!
