Fiction Fanatic Fridays ~Giveaway!!

Welcome back to another week of FFF Y'all! If your just joining us, Fiction Fanatic Fridays or FFF is a new meme (sort of) that I'm hosting on my blog. Heres the whole spiel: Every Friday I'll ask y'all one question from a book, the first person to leave a comment with the correct answer and valid e-mail wins a customized bookmark like that one --------------->



Okay, so y'all ready?

Last week I choose a book that's newer and so a lot of people hadn't had the chance to read yet. So, this week, I'll be asking a question from one of my favorite books of all time, A Passion Most Pure by Julie Lessman, and I'm hoping since it's been out for a few years , y'all have gotten to read it too!!;)

Here we go!

After America enters the war, fathers and sons two have been drafted, the remaining members of the O'Connor family go to Ireland to live with their grandmother and great-grandmother who is near-deaths-welcome mat. While there, Faith O'Connor gets a star spot on The Irish Times writing pool. What is the name of the pub that the Times reporters love to frequent?


I hope y'all have fun with this one!! Have a great weekend!

Love Y'all, Ashley

Free Book!!

Since spring break is this week (most of y'all at least) and your probably wanting to read a stellar book while on vacations. So are you looking for a GREAT book, that has : realer-then-real characters, a moving message and enough passion to singed the pages? Then look not further. Julie Lessman's A Passion Most Pure is all of those things, and, whole lot more. Set in WWI Boston, Faith O'Connor has loved only one man, only thing is he in love with her sister, Charity. What transpire from there, is the saga of a tightly knit family, who rely each other and God, to get through even the toughest times.

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone and everyone. Oh! And did I mention that it's FREE?!?!? Right now on Amazon.com, you can download (onto your ipod/iphone, Mac, Blackberry, PC or Kindle) a free copy of A Passion Most.

And just to put the icing on the cake, here is and excerpt of one of my favorite parts:

"She turned the knob, and in a split second he was there, his face inches from her own. She turned away as if she could smell the liquor on his breath. "Pretty high and mighty, aren't we, Faith O'Connor? I think you're lying. I thin I have gotten to you. only you don't want me to know it. Why don't we just see?
He pressed her back against the door, his lips muffing her response. He kissed her long and hard until the fight faded away. Only then did his lips leave her mouth to stray along the curve of her chin and nip at her earlobe. She moaned, her passion igniting him like no other woman had ever done. He was breathing hard and fast as his lips smothered her neck and the ecstasy of it all was so staggering, he thought he would lose his mind. What am I doing? "

Ahhh......*sigh* So, if that didn't make you want to read APMP, I suggest some therapy.LOL Just kidding. But, I really hope y'all get the chance to read at least one of Julie's incredible books.

So, Here is the link to download (for FREE) A Passion Most Pure: http://www.amazon.com/Passion-Most-Daughters-Boston-ebook/dp/B001F516RA/ref=tmm_kin_title_0?ie=UTF8&m=AG56TWVU5XWC2.

Have blessed week!

Only A Kiss...... pt.2

What blog posting about kissing would this be if I didn't post one of my favorite kissing scenes in my all time favorite book. Julie Lessman is the reining Queen of Kissing and by far, my favorite author. Now, don't get me wrong, I like other authors too, but, when it come to kissing, Julie Lessman's got it covered, and then some;~)

So, of course I had to pick a scene from A Passion Most Pure. It was a hard decision of which kiss would I pick? That unforgettable first kiss in the park? Or perhaps the one on the porch swing, right before Charity catches them? After about an hour of searching for the right kiss, I finally I decide on this one.........

He was breathing hard and fast as his lips smothered her neck and the ecstasy of it all was so staggering, he thought he would lose his mind. What am I doing?

So, was this only a kiss? I'd love to hear what you think. Just leave a comment below!

I hope you enjoyed reading this kiss as much I did!

Love Y'all,
