Julie Lessman has again written a great book with
Love Everlasting, the second book in the Isle of Hope Series. This is the
second book in the series, and it follows Shannon O’Bryen and Sam Cunningham.
Sam works at the local hospital with Shannon’s Brother, Jack, who was the focus
of the first book in the series. Although Jack warned Shannon about Sam’s
background as a “ladies man”, they soon form a strong friendship as Shannon
coaches Sam how to get back his ex-girlfriend. While their friendship develops,
some secrets come out about Shannon’s past that could destroy their
relationship. All while this friendship is growing, some characters from the
first book face changes of their own. Shannon’s mom, and her next door neighbor
Dr. Ben Carmichael, must move past some problems in their own relationship to
determine God’s plans for their future. Jack O’Bryen and Lacey Carmichael O’Bryen
also look forward to their future together, and the family they are hoping to
grow.
I really enjoyed this book, and I was so excited to
get the chance to read the second book in the series! The characters are very
easy to relate to, and they seem to have the same problems and struggles that
everyone can relate to; forgiveness, jealousy, and new relationships. I
especially liked reading about some of the characters from the first book in
the series. It was great to see how their lives have changed since last reading
about the O’Bryen and Carmichael families. I’m also looking forward to the next
book in this series, and I’m really hoping it’s about Cat, Shannon’s twin
sister!! J
