Alright let’s get into this week’s episode as Jessica and I dig in and discuss Julie Lessman’s book Love at Any Cost.

Episode Notes

In this episode Jessica and Melissa discuss Julie Lessman’s book Love at Any Cost. This is the first book in her Heart of San Francisco series.  We dig into Jamie and Cassidy’s relationship from the time he runs her over to when he finally wins her heart.

Of course, there are always supporting characters, and Julie has created a cast of fun loving friends and family you will fall in love with. We enjoyed their banter, games, outings, and family dinners.

And in typical Julie style, she has a secondary love story between Caitlyn and Logan. This couple has a long history and a second chance at love. We enjoyed watching them reunite over the course of this series.

The surprising twists in this novel with keep you turning the page, and the inspiration will leave you filled with peace and hope.
