Publisher Description
Shy and unattractive as a child, Megan McClare has always been teased by her classmates. But when she returns home from her senior year in Paris, the wallflower has suddenly blossomed into a beauty. With ambitions to become a lawyer or doctor, Megan accepts an internship at the district attorney's office only to discover that she will be working with Devin Caldwell, a boy who mercilessly mocked her at school--and with whom she was hopelessly enamored. She turns to her dear friend Bram Hughes for support and advice. But Bram's vision is clouded by his sudden unwelcome attraction to a girl he had always thought of as a kid sister. He advises forgiveness, but can he forgive himself for pushing the woman he loves into the arms of another man?
Fan favorite Julie Lessman draws a romantic triangle that will have readers in a tizzy in this glittering Gilded Age tale of transforming love.
Customer Reviews
The queen of sweet sass and romance has done it again!
Surprised by Love follows the middle daughter in the McClare family, Megan. Once a shy girl bullied by her classmates, Meg finishes her final year of school in Paris where she undergoes a transformation that leaves her family stunned. But no amount of exterior tweaking could fully erase the hurts from her past.
Abraham “Bram” Hughes was always Meg’s council and closest friend, but when she returns home there are many changes in the works, and not only the ones Meg has brought. Bram’s developing feelings are as unwelcome as they are surprising because he has his own hurts that he must face.
Cue the sweet agonizing ride.
Ms. Lessman has done a fabulous job, as always, building a story filled with love, forgiveness, intrigue, laughter, and a deep faith in God. The questions of how it will all turn out made this a book to be devoured for me. I finished Surprised by Love in less than 7 hours.
The family dynamics and fireworks were definitely booming in this book. With Caitlyn and Logan’s relationship finally reaching that critical point of will they or won’t they, I was surprised to find myself rooting for Logan. The angst of being denied his one true love definitely worked a number on him, both mentally and spiritually. After not liking his autocratic ways in the two previous books, he became a favorite of mine in Surprised by Love.
I’m going to put my hope out there into the virtual universe with the hope that Ms. Lessman sees this: Please, please, please let Jess and Blake end up together!!!
5 well deserved stars, or hearts, or cupcakes, or cute dancing penguins, whatever works, for the queen of sweet sass and romance.
