MY REVIEW
A Heart Revealed - 4 STARS - EXCELLENT
I am a huge fan of Julie Lessman, so I’m always ready for her next book. One of my favorite characters from her stories is Emma Malloy. She is probably one the most humble characters I’ve ever read. I was happy to know this would be her story. If anyone deserved a good man Emma was the one. However there was one small problem, she was still married.
I was eager to find out how she would get out of this little dilemma. Ms. Lessman took me on a romantic journey. She threw every conflict at poor Emma, I was quickly reading to see how she would get herself out it.
As much as Emma fought falling for Sean O’Connor, the Lord had other plans. Emma pushed him off on another woman, hoping he’d fall in love; Sean even stopped working at the shop together thinking his feelings would go away.
These poor love sick souls, were they destined to be apart? You have to pick up the book to see if Ms. Lessman finds a way for them to be happy together.
