Resumen del Editor

One Woman. Two Men.
One stirs her pulse and the other her faith.
But who will win her heart?

Marceline Murphy is a gentle beauty with a well-founded aversion to rogues. But when two of Boston’s most notorious pursue her, she encounters a tug-of-war of the heart she isn’t expecting. Sam O’Rourke is the childhood hero she’s pined for, the brother of her best friend and a member of the large, boisterous family to which she longs to be a part. So when his best friend Patrick O’Connor joins in pursuit of her affections, the choice seems all too clear. Sam is from a family of faith and Patrick is not, two rogues whose wild ways clash head-on with Marcy’s - both in her faith and in her heart.

While overseeing the Christmas play fundraiser for the St. Mary’s parish soup kitchen - A Light in the Window - Marcy not only wrestles with her attraction to both men, but with her concern for their spiritual welfare. The play is based on the Irish custom of placing a candle in the window on Christmas Eve to welcome the Holy Family, and for Marcy, its message becomes deeply personal. Her grandmother Mima cautions her to guard her heart for the type of man who will respond to the “light in the window,” meaning the message of Christ in her heart. But when disaster strikes during the play, Marcy is destined to discover the truth of the play’s message first-hand when it becomes clear that although two men have professed their undying love, only one has truly responded to “the light in the window.”

Absolutely WONDERFUL!!!

I loved this audiobook! The narrator has a slight Irish accent, which makes it perfect, since the characters are Irish! Julie Lessman is one of my favorite authors and I'm excited that they're starting to publish more of her books as audiobooks!

Wonderful story!!!

How I wish I had read this in high school/college. What a great message for girls to not settle and wait for God to fulfill the desires of their heart. I’m not sure I can pick a favorite book of this author, but this one of the best for sure!!!
Great narrator!!! I think my favorite woman narrator ever actually.

Excellent

My first attempt at listening to this book, I got discouraged because it felt a bit too young for me. Later, I tried again and stuck with it and I'm so glad I did. Such an enjoyable story. Lessman always makes you want to curl up with loved ones and cherish every second. Narrator is brilliant and perfect for this story. Masterfully written and narrated and definitely worth a listen. More Lessman books on audible please!!

this book is not for christian fiction readers

i have never given a book two stars. but i thought i would warn readers that this story not christian fiction. it might claim to be christian fiction but it was inappropriate for a christian story. i listened to about six hours of it then i skipped to the end.
i wanted to know what happened to Tilly but i couldn't take more of the MC. she was so sappy between her swooning or fluttering with two boys. i couldn't take it anymore. it was so physical with them. no emotional connection. which isn't right for a Christian story.

SO GOOD!!!!!

I thought the narrator was amazing, but this story. Everything I want in a Christian Romance. Not shoving Jesus down your throat (yet still such good spiritual reminders of the importance of keeping God first in your life!!) and still lots of sexual tension without being inappropriate. The chemistry is sparked from the VERY beginning of the book and is evenly sprinkled throughout (if books go on too long without the 2 love birds talking or flirting I get annoyed lol) but still a substantial story not just thrown together for a happily ever after. ...yes this is like a hallmark movie...but one with good acting if you get my drift ha! This is my first book by this author...and now I wont read/listen to any other book until I've read ALL of hers!!! Thank you Julie Lessman for such an amazing book!!!
