Goodreads | Amazon

He sets hearts on fire.
She’s been burned by love.

Can hope survive the flames of the past?

School teacher by day, ghostwriter by night, sweet and shy Shannon O’Bryen doesn’t mind writing romance on the sly, but to live it? No, thank you, not since the man she loved turned out to be a player who broke both her heart and her spirit. Now focused more on her faith and her fiction, she vows the next time she falls in love, it will be safely—through the pages of a book.

Dr. Sam Cunningham is a charismatic player who breaks hearts as regularly as he washes his pearl-white Corvette. Abandoned as a young child, Sam was an orphan shuffled through the foster-care system, bitterly driven to prove he is worthy of love—the kind that lasts forever. Once he learns Shannon is a romance writer, he enlists her help in winning back his ex-girlfriend. She teaches him about faith and the true definition of love, and he soon discovers he’s been seeking it in the wrong place all along—and with the wrong girl. But can he convince a woman who's been burned by love to open her eyes—and her heart—to a love everlasting?​​

An author whose novels I always enjoy, Julie Lessman adds an heartwarming romance to her contemporary Isle of Hope series. With well-developed characters, sweet chemistry, realistic challenges, and spiritual growth, Love Everlasting has all the makings of an excellent story and I couldn’t stop reading. It’s emotionally engaging, pulling me through the ups and downs with the characters, and makes quite an enjoyable read. Her fans, like me, are sure to like this second look at the delightful O’Bryen family. I recommend it and can’t wait to read more from Lessman.

Thanks to Singing Librarian Book Tours, I received a copy of Love Everlasting and the opportunity to provide an honest review. I was not required to write a positive review, and all the opinions I have expressed are my own.
