Pure Passions #4
Pressure
A woman in despair.
Brooke Chandler has lived with the guilt of her brother’s death for nine years. Despite her efforts to put the loss behind her, it still haunts her. It doesn’t help that her parents blame her, or that they see her guilt as an excuse to control her.
On the eve of her wedding to a man selected by her parents, Brooke runs away. Never mind that her fiancé is the son of the biggest preacher in the city, or the fact that as a preacher’s kid herself, she is supposed to follow the rules.
James Cassidy knows a thing or two about pain, having been jilted by the love of his life two years ago. He didn’t think he was ready for love again, but there’s something about Brooke that stirs him the way no other woman ever has. But can he love a woman who has jilted another man, just as he was jilted?
Even if he can, Brooke’s heart is surrounded with seemingly insurmountable walls.
When Brooke decided to leave, she didn’t expect to run straight into the hands of a new man. And she didn’t expect to fall in love.
Can James’ faith cause Brooke to rethink her decision to turn her back on God? And can his love bring her healing?
Pressure is a compelling love story of faith overcoming fear, and freedom from guilt.

A Solid Foundation
As always, Dayo never disappoint me! She is so thorough and detailed in every novel, and her characters come to life during their trials as they find their way back or to God.
Dayo, I love that name, encourages me within each move, to remain strong as I strive to build a solid foundation in Christ. I thought I had favorite characters, but now I just love them all. I have hopefully read every novel and I am waiting on the last book of “Fallen.” You are a phenomenal writer and phenomenal woman of God!

I loved this book! We ask God for forgiveness and then dwell on it ourselves to the point of it ruining our lives because we can’t forgive ourselves. It shows two lonely young adults both affected by their parents decisions until they’re afraid of love. Each overcoming secrets from long ago that brings them to place where they both find love that only dreams are made from.

Wonderful God based Love Story!
Really enjoyed reading this story of describing the difference with religion and an actual relationship with God. This story made me smile, laugh and cry! Love and God are always the best ending!
