Amazing end to an amazing series!
By Abbi
This book is hard to read. Not because of anything to do with the actual story though! What makes it hard is that it’s the last of the O’Conner books! After 7 books and 3,248 pages we have to say goodbye to this family that has embedded themselves in our hearts and it’s quite painful! Also this book is 100 pages shorter than the others which is a little sad (mean publishers), I think this is the only almost 400 page book that I found too short! And lastly I was sad that we don’t get to see any of Steven and Annie after their marriage like we did with all of the others!But now that I have all that out of the way I can commence the gushing about how much I love this book! And boy did I love it! Like all the others it is simply phenomenal!From the moment we meet the quiet eight-year-old Steven in A Passion Most Pure I knew I was going to love him and I wasn’t wrong. Growing up he was always the good child, rarely getting in trouble, doing what he’s told, getting good grades, and just generally being the model child. Then in college that all changes and starts hanging with the wrong people and disobeying his parents at every turn. But when his rebellion threatens the life of his father he does a complete 180 and turns into the law-abiding prohibition agent is riddled with guilt and constantly trying to redeem himself. My heart broke for him as he struggled with his guilt, with trying to do the right thing, and with trusting God and letting Him change his life. I absolutely loved the conversations Steven had with his father and Sean and I was so happy when he began to take their words to heart! It was so cool to see the transformation and even though I loved him before he became so much more awesome after!And Annie! I loved her so much!! I loved how strong she was and how she let her relationship with God cover every aspect of her life! I was so proud of her when she was willing to let Steven go if he tried to push her past her boundaries and later in the story when something life-shattering happens and she finds the strength to forgive those who hurt her (I don’t want to spoil anything but those of you who’ve read the book know what I’m talking about!)! I could go on for quite awhile about how much a love Annie, her kindness, her innocence, her heart full of love, and so much more!There weren’t as many new secondary characters but I did love Glory, Aunt Eleanor, and Frailey! And I once again loved Patrick and Marcy, Collin and Faith, Mitch and Charity, Brady and Lizzie, Luke and Katie, Sean and Emma, Gabe, and all the grand-kids!There were hard moments, funny moments, and sweet moments in this book all of which created a story I will never forget! And even though I was sad to see it end the epilogue left me with a huge grin on my face! I love the O’Conners so much and I’m sure I will visit them again soon!

At Long Last, Love For Steven!!!
By C. Barratt
Steven O’ Connor has long been one of my favorites of the six O’ Connor children and when I heard there would be a book about him, I couldn’t wait to read it! Once I began the novel, I couldn’t put it down. I don’t lose sleep over many novels, but I stayed up until midnight to finish this one! Julie Lessman delivers a breathtaking story of loves surrendered and trusts regained that kept me turning pages! I finished the story with a sigh of both delight and sadness, as the O’ Connors have long been like family. Thankfully, I can read their stories over and over again!I can’t recommend this book highly enough!!!!

Want a love story that will get your blood pumping? Check out Julie Lessman’s A Love Surrendered!!
By Katie McCurdy
Wowza, what a completion to the series!! Actually, I should say both series, to be exact. The Daughters of Boston series and Winds of Change series both follow the O’Connor crew through countless years of their lives and half a dozen marriages It’s hard to believe that there won’t be any other books on this awesome family–after 6 books, a bookworm like myself can’t help but grow attached to them!For the final book in the Winds of Change series, it focused on Steven O’Connor and Annie, the younger sister of Steven’s former girlfriend. While this book tells their story (and a very sweet story at that!), in typical Julie Lessman style, there are several side stories interwoven into A Love Surrendered that visits just about each of the O’Connor siblings. From Emma’s struggle to give Sean children, to Katie and Luke butting heads over who they should and should not hang out with. I really loved getting to take a peek inside each of their marriages–it even made me want to go back and reread their books! Especially Sean and Emma’s–their story had to be my favorite…though after reading A Love Surrendered, Sean and Emma just might have to share the “favorite” spot with Steven and Annie!As in all of Lessman’s books, there are several “bedroom scenes” in A Love Surrendered. None are overtly explicit, but all are still very intimate and, in my opinion, for a mature reader’s eye only. Lessman knows how to heat up the pages, that’s for sure, and older readers will no doubt enjoy the tender love scenes, but I wouldn’t recommend this book to younger, teen readers.There was one point in A Love Surrendered (about 2/3 of the way through) that I wasn’t sure how Lessman was going to keep the story going. I mean, it seemed as if everything was going perfectly and everyone would get their happily ever after. Well, I should have known better, since this book is written by Julie Lessman–THE Drama Queen! It wasn’t two chapters later that something big happened and threw a huge curveball into the plot. I couldn’t put the book down after that. Awesome, awesome job, Lessman!!I don’t think there’s anything more I can say about A Love Surrendered except that it was a wonderful read with some realistic, endearing characters. I did get a little tired of all the ladies in this family that seem to have a thing for hiding things from their husbands…but then it creates all the drama, so what can I say? Haha! But, really, if you at all love drama, the stubborn Irish, and a love story that will get your blood pumping…check out Julie Lessman’s A Love Surrendered today!!I reviewed this book for Revell. It was not required that I give a positive review, but solely to express my own thoughts and opinions of this book, which I have done.
