And I am realllly excited to see what you think of A Hope Undaunted -- as I mentioned to you, it's my fave and I'm anxious to see what you think. So if you like it, let me know. If not??? Uh, never mind ... :|<br /><br />It's been great getting to know you too, sweetie, and I appreciate your heart as well. I have to say that's one of the wonderful things about being a Christian writer -- getting to make wonderful new friends all the time!<br /><br />Good luck in the contest!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />JulieJulie Lessmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00406395645316139292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2665264562069587129.post-57479589473596462702012-03-02T20:04:03.806-06:002012-03-02T20:04:03.806-06:00Hey, KATELYN, thank you SO much, sweetie.

Thank you SO much for posting that lovely review of AHR -- I never saw it before, so I am blessed!!<br /><br />Your review talks about all the wonderful Irish names in the book, but goodness, I fell in love with everything Irish after reading Gone With the Wind (the O'Haras, you know) at the age of 12, which is when I began writing book 1 of this series, A Passion Most Pure. I am only a quarter Irish myself, but I SOOO wish it were more!!<br /><br />Thank you for coming by, and GOOD LUCK in the contest!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />JuleiJulie Lessmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00406395645316139292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2665264562069587129.post-89867191814592098082012-02-29T06:37:46.626-06:002012-02-29T06:37:46.626-06:00LOL, ANON ...

But I gotta tell you -- I SO admire you for not reading until you have the whole set because most readers tell me that once started, it's like a lit fuse licking its way from book to book!! <br /><br />I'm thinking that maybe if you get book 2 from the library, you can start book 1 because despite the size of the books, they are VERY fast reads. That is, if you don't win it here. Because if you win, sweetie, I will have A Passion Redeemed in the mail to you so fast, your head will spin. Of course, it might anyway, once you get into the books and see the angst and drama (and PASSION) I put these poor characters through ... ;)<br /><br />Good luck in the contest, Marie, and here's to a win!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />JulieJulie Lessmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00406395645316139292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2665264562069587129.post-75667340726785998572012-02-28T10:37:25.877-06:002012-02-28T10:37:25.877-06:00https://twitter.com/#!/BurtonReview/status/17453

Uh-oh, I'm almost afraid to tell...ANONYMOUS ... Uh-oh, I'm almost afraid to tell you that I found out last week ALS is not releasing until October instead of September like the other two books, which upset me as much as it may some of my readers!! <br /><br />In publication, release dates -- like book titles -- are as likely to change as the weather, so such is life. The up side of that is hopefully (I say "hopefully because like with ALS, one never knows) my first McClare book, Love at Any Cost, will come out six months after on April 1st, which is shortest amount of time I have ever had between books. But we'll see ... :)<br /><br />And as a gal who LOVES A Passion Redeemed (it's my fave of the DOB series), I'm not sure if ALS will bump it to 2nd favorite, but I do know there will be ample amounts of "painful" and "agonizing" in this final installment because I went through over 30 Kleenex editing it, and my personal record prior to that was 12 Kleenex, I think on A Hope Undaunted. :)<br /><br />I only hope and pray you think it's worth the wait, so good luck in the contest and as you said (almost) ... October, come quickly!!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />JulieJulie Lessmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00406395645316139292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2665264562069587129.post-12053747321579466122012-02-28T00:14:45.814-06:002012-02-28T00:14:45.814-06:00Noooo!

I know this book, like all of Julie's, will be painful and agonizing, mainly due to the fact that I want the hero and heroine together ASAP! I guess I am just impatient like that. A Love Surrendered already looks like it will be a winner from this excerpt, and it just might bump A Passion Redeemed from it's favored spot in my heart. Well...there can always be two favorites.
