Surprised by Love is book three in Lessman's "Heart of San Francisco" series, which follows the McClare family. From page one, I was captivated by this novel and its characters. Though I did struggle a bit to keep up at first, due solely to my own lack of knowledge from not having read the first two books in the series, I soon had everything straight and was flying through the pages at warp speed. I simply could not put the book down—I had to know what would happen next—and I read the entire boo

Another great book by Julie Lessman. This one was full of twists and turns and had me wondering how there could ever be a happily ever after for not one but two of the couples in this last book of the series. There is great writing, wonderful Characters that you can't help but fall in love with, and then the suspense and faith thread all making it a wonderful book.

Alas, I must say good-bye to another beloved family. This is the final book in the Heart of San Francisco series. I get attached and the series ends.
Meg has returned from being in Paris for a year, no one recognizes her, especially Devin Caldwell who made her life horrible as a kid, he bullied her to pieces, she isn't the "Ugly-Duckling" he remembers, and he's tongue-tied. Cait can't decide whether to love Logan, or Andrew Turner, she has both men tied in knots.

So much fun to return to San Francisco and the delightful McClare family. Meg's time in Paris changed her appearance, which earns her a lot of male attention. And Logan struggles to become the man Cait needs. I only wish this series would go on and on - wouldn't it be fun to find out what sort of woman ends Blake's playboy days?

I loved this book! Just like Julie's other books, it was unique in both style and presentation. I loved the twists throughout the story, but most of all, I loved the story of forgiveness. It was the theme of this book. It was my favorite of the whole series! Great job, Julie!
