A Passion Denied/ Julie Lessman/ 475 pp

Third and final book in The Daughters of Boston series. Elizabeth O'Connor has been studying the Bible with John Brady since she was a teenager. As her faith grew so did the belief that one day Brady would be her husband. But secrets from Brady's past have convinced him that love and marriage cannot be a part of his future. When the past returns in the form of his twin brother, will Brady finally acknowledge his love for Elizabeth or will he lose her forever? Again, the characters have realistic faults, aren't always perfect and make human mistakes. It makes the ending less sure in the reader's mind. Many times I thought, how are they going to get beyond this? Great ending to the series.
