But I decided I should attempt to slog through Ashburn by Julia Erickson, because I was trying to participate in the Homeschool Authors Read-To-Win contest; and I had bought it already, so better just read it! Well, let me tell you, friends, there was no slogging! Nope. I adored this book! Adored it! I have never enjoyed a contemporary novel so much in my life—and Ashburn has definitely made my list of favorite books in addition! ^_^ It was exceptional.Cara Stephenson is a talented graphic designer. Bryce Reynolds is a mysterious man on top secret business. They were once childhood friends. Now they’re thrown together again; about to go for the rides of their lives. Does God have a plan amidst the secrets, struggles, and chaos? Or will Bryce’s many enemies ruin everything?Eek!! I just loved this book so much! From beginning to end, I was hooked! The crazy action. The intriguing suspense and secret agent stuff. The adorable, heart-melting, sigh-worthy, godly, beautiful romance(!!). The luscious trips to Italy and France, that may or may not have involved some danger. The hilarious, wonderful, perfect touch of humor. The sincere, conservative, deep faith theme. The awesome, relatable characters . . . *huggles book* It was great. From start to finish. I wasn’t bored once!! And guys, that’s saying something!! Usually I dislike contemporary stories. I really enjoy a select few. Well, Ashburn—I loved! I squealed, and gushed, and laughed, and gasped, and cried. It was a perfect mixture of all the things I love.There were a few moments here and there that it wasn’t “all professional”. For example, the first chapter was pretty wordy. Like too much. It kind of broke the natural-feeling flow. But I’m pretty sure that after chapter one, (or maybe after just a few pages), that vanished entirely, and I was sucked completely into the story, without complaint! ;DIt was a grand, romantic, mad-dash, heart-tugging adventure—with bursts of laughter erupting time and again.I love, love, loved Bryce Reynolds!! What a wonderful guy!! ^_^ He is hilarious. And totally “cool”. And just sweet, and protective, and gentlemanly, and godly. And this super awesome secret agent with weapons, missions, and street fighting skills like none other. *grins* Altogether an epic character. I can’t say enough for this brilliant character.I also loved Cara. She was real. She was sweet, and shy, and fun, and courageous. I really enjoyed journeying with her and watching her grow and everything else! And I love that she has loonnnggg blonde hair!! *flails* She was pretty epic too!And Penny!!! Bahahaha!! She’s the best!! *hugs her* What a fantastic lady! She is so cute, and hysterically funny, and just all her own! I so can’t wait to read her story!Also loved Monty, Naomi Stephenson, Angel, and Mark, and probably some others that I’m just forgetting at the moment. Spectacular characters, Julia Erickson, you did a fabulous job with them!!What else can I say? Well, I could probably gush on forever; but I’ll try to stick to the main points. The humor of this book was priceless. I love humor. I love to laugh. And this book is definitely perfection with that. You just have to read it to know. It’s grand. Absolutely grand!! *big grins* The Italian guys!! Hehe!! The “cousin”. The bewildered but amused taxi driver. If you like humor, people, the Ashburn is the book for you!The action/suspense/secret agent stuff was incredible. I'm not always into that; but I LOVED it in this novel. Awesome. Soooo "cool". Keeps you on the edge of your seat and scrambling to figure things out!!The faith and romance aspects. *Heartfelt sigh* I think why I usually don’t really like contemporary, is because it just has a “worldly” feel most of the time, no matter that it’s Christian-fiction. Well, that is definitely not the case with Ashburn. In this story, we see real faith, real trust, real seeking after God. We see sacrifices being made in order to stay true to God; we see characters conversing with God, asking for His guidance. They’re truly following. God is the center of these characters’ lives—not just some religion that they fit into their busy schedules.The romance. How many contemporary books have I read that I just shake my head at the romance . . . It’s not beautiful. It’s not godly. It doesn’t have depth. I’m like crying inside, “Where’s my fantasy? Where’s my fairytale? Where’s my historical fiction? I don’t want this!! I want a good, old-fashioned love story!!” Yeah. So I just don’t like contemporary. However, it wasn’t like that with Ashburn. In fact, I absolutely ADORED the romance in this book!! ^_^ First off, the two main characters were homeschooled. The guy checks himself and won’t enter a relationship if the girl isn’t on the same track as him when it comes to God. They both have purposed to save their first kiss for marriage. Like, eeepp!!! It was utterly adorable, godly, beautiful, deep, and just swoony, my friends! Praise the Lord for His amazing, original design for romantic love! It is truly a sight to behold!Have a fangirled enough? No. Well, perhaps for this review. Now is the time for you to buy your copy!! *grins* Seriously though, go read Ashburn. It is truly a gem among contemporary novels.

A Strong Debut Novel By Sarah Age Appropriate For: 13 and up for mild violence and mild romanceBest for Ages: 13 and upWhen I first started this book, I was a bit worried. The first chapter was very wordy and everything was described in so much detail it was causing the story’s pace to drag. However, I am happy to say that after the first chapter or two, the author found a nice balance and was less wordy.This book, though modern, definitely has old fashioned spy charm. Some of that may be due to the obvious influence of the 1980’s TV series, Scarecrow and Mrs. King. There is plenty of action and excitement, without any gore or innuendo that is so prevalent in modern suspense books and movies.Cara and Bryce were so great together. Bryce was charming yet a man of great character, having overcome a lot of challenges in his past. Cara was sweet even though she has let some of her past hurts define her. Together, they make a great team, not only for the mystery, but also for helping each other with their faith and love. Their romance was sweet, but not very mushy (aka, no kissing.)The plot of this book was exciting and kept me turning pages. I mean, who wouldn’t love a mission that took you all around Europe? Risks were often high, injuries happen, and the action only takes brief breaks.I highly recommend this story to those who love old fashioned mystery and suspense books and TV shows, sweet, clean romance, and lots of action.I received this book from the author in exchange for my honest review. I was under no obligation to write a positive review. The opinions in this review are entirely my own.

Wonderful debut By 7 Kid Family This is a long review, so bare with me.Plot/Storyline rating: 4 ½ starsMy personal convictions rating: 2 starsThe Positive:This book was gripping from the first page. Such a cool story…a spy, secret agent, catch-the-bad-guy kind of deal.Julia’s writing style is absolutely adorable. That’s the first thing that came into my mind when I saw her blog and then read her writing…cute cute cute. This is the strongest debut novel I have yet to read from a Homeschooled Author. (www.homeschooledauthors.com)Plot/Storyline: 5/5The plot was well set out and kept my attention the entire time.Characters: 5/5Very well-developed characters…especially Cara and Bryce, the main characters. There were a lot of characters in this book, but Julia did a wonderful job of helping her readers keep them straight.Writing: 5/5As I said above, Julia’s writing style is entirely adorable. I would love to read more of her books (except for the romance content—see below).Dialogue: 5/5Perfect. I loved all the inner thoughts of the characters that were so well-placed around spoken thoughts.Want-to-read-ability: 5/5I could not set this book down! It kept my attention all the way through.The Negative:As for my personal convictions, I can only give this book 2 stars. It really bothered me that the two main characters, Cara and Bryce, obviously attracted to each other, spent so much time together unsupervised. For most of the book, the characters are alone together. I might have different feelings about this had the characters been engaged or at least dating/courting, but the characters were supposed to just be friends.Also, there is a lot of physical contact between Cara and Bryce before they are officially in a romantic relationship. Lots of hugging, hand-holding, sitting together, slipping-his-arm-around-her-waist kind of things. And Bryce combed and styled Cara’s hair in one scene. Even though there was no kissing, I felt that kissing would almost have been better than so much ‘holding each other.’ The extent of their physical contact made me uncomfortable.There was a lot of emphasis placed on outward appearances. I know…there has to be chemistry somewhere for two people to be attracted to each other, but it seemed quite extreme in this book. Between Cara and Bryce, there were more inward thoughts about what the other person looked like than about the status of their relationship with the Lord and core beliefs.Bryce is the guy girls can only dream of. He was far too perfect. He seemed able to read Cara’s mind and know exactly what she wanted. He made sure she could go to the salon and wear pretty dresses…and he was far more aware of what she wore than was realistic. Perhaps it’s just my experience, but most guys I know (speaking of my dad and brothers) are pretty clueless when it comes to girl’s clothes and nails and hairdos. For young readers, especially girls, Bryce could easily put wrong ideas into their heads of what guys are really like.I’m not going to tell you to or not to read this book, I just want anyone who reads it to be aware of the romance content. Personally, I would not let any of my younger siblings read this book until they are at least my own age (seventeen), but that is because of my personal guidelines for reading material.
