A Harvest of Amish Blessings by multiple authors


 


These covers totally draw me in!  They are just beautiful.  I read the story written by Tracy Fredrychowski.  It was an excellent story.  It is a sweet romance that drew me in and the characters were well developed. I am sure you will enjoy this book!

The Amish Widow's Last Stitch by Tracy Fredrychowski


This mystery was just a perfect read for me.  I am a mystery lover.  I love trying to guess how things will all work out and this book kept me guessing.  When Lizzie's grandmother suddenly passes, things just don't seem right about how that happened and why.  Lizzie is determined to find out.  She has worked with her grandmother at the yarn shop and she begins to sort through her grandmother's things in hopes of clues.  This is a great cozy mystery that I am sure any mystery and Amish book lover will enjoy.  There is just a little romance, but it was nice and a sweet story between Lizzie and Evert as their friendship grows.  I recommend this book!

The Pretender by Wanda E. Brunstetter Mifflin County Mystery Series Book 3

 

I really enjoyed this author's book. An Amish woman whose family hasn't heard from in 2 years, suddenly appears home with an Englisher whom she introduces as her husband. How will her family react to her sudden appearance?  Rosa is worried as to whether her family will accept or reject her.  She is expecting a baby. Her sister is feeling and acting somewhat unkindly to Rosa and her "husband", Anthony.  It is a good story line and I enjoyed the book very much.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review.

The Amish Nanny's Secret by Amy Lillard


Naomi has big plans to attend art school, not exactly what the Amish are supposed to be doing.  But it is her biggest dream.  She doesn't quite know how she will pay for the school, but has an opportunity to be a nanny for an Amish widower.  Josiah has five lively little boys and as she works at his home, it becomes comfortable and maybe a bit more!  I really loved this sweet story and the characters were easy to enjoy as they become more accustomed to one another. Naomi has to make some important decisions, both of which can change her life.  This was a very enjoyable read and I recommend it!

I received an ARC copy of this book and was not required to post a positive review.  All thoughts are my own.

The Boxcar Librarian by Brianna Labuskes


Well, I was really anxious to get my hands on this book.  It was a title I had put on hold at the Library and was the 4th person in line to get it.  But as I started reading, I couldn't quite stay with the book.  The book goes back and forth in various time frames.  I kept waiting for the boxcar story to take off, but after 11 chapters it was a DNF.  I really wanted to love it...

The Highland Heist by Pepper Basham


 This is one of my "go to" authors.  I have enjoyed all her books and this book just grabbed my attention.  I am a mystery lover and this book fit the bill!  I enjoy a clean romance and historical always catches my attention.  And this book did just that.  I loved the characters and want to continue reading everything from this author.  This book is a mix of all those things that I love in a book.

Hunting For a Husband by Mindy Steele


Leah's is sure that the man she thinks is close to being "the one" is truly the one, but then he isn't. Joe had a serious accident as a teen that changed his life. He finds himself in a difficult position and Leah is there to help despite the fact that helping is not so convenient!  Then their story begins.  It is a sweet Amish love story with some mystery as well.  I love some mystery!  Keeps me on my seat! It was a good story that will draw you in and touch your heart.  Especially for those who know those with special needs and how hopes and dreams are not as easy to obtain.   I think you will enjoy this book and the characters!  I received an ARC copy of this book.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.
