Loved it! I really appreciate your comment about keeping the genre fresh and exciting (to me, the Amish are endlessly surprising). Thank you for your encouraging words and your support, too. Glad you were part of the blog tour and I hope you'll be on the tour for Sadie and M.K.'s stories! Warmly, Suzanne Melissa…I think you win the prize for my most favorite review! Loved it!

I am so eager to read The Keeper! It will be my first book about the Plain people, and I am so curious about the Plain people. I think I envy their way of life so very much. I wish I could drag my husband into it! Gena Robertson robertsongena@hotmail.com Thank you so much for your review and for being part of this blog tour! I am so eager to read The Keeper!

]]> Comment on A Heart Revealed by Julie Lessman – My Review by Alli http://bibliophilesretreat.com/2011/09/22/a-heart-revealed-by-julie-lessman-my-review/comment-page-1/#comment-14623 Alli Fri, 28 Oct 2011 21:48:21 +0000 http://bibliophilesretreat.com/?p=2939#comment-14623 I just wanted to add that if you've never read any of Julie Lessman's other books - YOU NEED TO!!! She is HANDS DOWN my favorite author, and she once again has written a book chock full of love, humor, passion, and story, story, story!! This is the 5th book sharing the lives of the very Irish O'Connor family (The Daughters of Boston series is the 1st three, and the Winds of Change series continues where the Daughters of Boston left off), and I just absolutely LOVE how Julie incorporates SO MUCH the lives of the characters we have grown to love from her previous books! So by the time you get to this book - A Heart Revealed - you already know and LOVE Sean and Emma before even starting the book! This one is a bit different than all of Julie's other books - because Emma is married, there isn't the heated romantic passion right off the bat and then all throughout the book (which is kinda Julie's "thing" in all of her other books.) Sean and Emma's story shows their love blooming through friendship, but don't worry - she still gives us plenty of her trademark passion and drama through Luke and Katie and Mitch and Charity!! And don't worry - things will definitely heat up for Sean and Emma too, so don't lose heart!! :-) The book is also full of the regular "Julie Lessman" roller coaster-like ups and downs and then of course back up again...with of course a surprise or two thrown in!! I promise - this one will be one for the KEEPER shelf - along with ALL of her other ones!! A definite must read!

I love Amish fiction but so many authors begin to sound alike with as many of them as I have read. Wounded Heart is one of the few that has stood out as a unique specimen in many positive ways IMO.
