Book Review and Giveaway! A Passion Most Pure by Julie Lessman

This is one of the longer romance novels I have read. And I honestly found it a bit slow in the beginning when the author was setting up the characters and the scene. But once I got hooked, I had a hard time putting it down. I soon felt part of this Irish family and I wanted to know how things were going to turn out. Being an only child, I have always been intrigued by the love and relationships of large families. I also enjoy reading historical novels and this novel that takes place before the 1920s and during WWI not only contains a tale of love, passion, and devotion to God, but I enjoyed reading the historical references.

Faith is devoted to God and does her best to follow His Word. Her sister, Charity, is young, full of herself and on a path to destruction, not just for herself but for all of those around her. Charity and Faith's parents do their best to model a godly and loving relationship, to help their children make the right decisions and to intervene when necessary. And as if life wasn't full of enough curve balls, America enters WWI and the O'Connor family's life is turned upside down.

This story is full of rich and believeable characters struggling with things that you and I struggle with in our lives. This is a well-written inspirational story of love and passion that will leave you anxious to read the next ook in the series.

And today is your lucky day! I believe I mentioned a giveaway... Well, I have one very gently read copy of A Passion Most Pure to give to one lucky reader! (Sorry, but this is open to United States Readers only unless you would like to pay the postage to have this book shipped overseas.)
