The Amish Rancher's Return by Amy Lillard

 I love a good second chance story.  It was a sweet story of Isaiah who was in love with Priscilla and suddenly decides to go to Montana to ranch.  Priscilla is devastated by this and takes matters into her own hands and moves on with her life.  Life continues and he return's.  Is it too late to make amends?  

It is a good read and I really enjoyed the storyline and also the secondary story line of the store being put  up for sale where Priscilla has her Amish things to sell.  I think that Amish book readers will really enjoy this book.  I highly recommend it!

The Amish Bachelor's Promise by Amy Lillard

I really enjoyed this sweet Amish romance.  Two friends since childhood find themselves in an interesting situation.  Freeman has just experienced a difficult breakup only to see a long-time friend through different eyes. He remembers a promise that they made years ago that if they were both single at 22, they would marry. But I think that Evie, his friend, might just feel like a burden to him because of her spina bifida.  Although she appears to be holding back her feelings, Freeman feels that she is the woman for him and he is determined! The story is emotional and touching.  They learn to trust and to see that this just might be God's plan for them.  This was a very enjoyable feel good story!

The Unplanned Christmas Family by Angie Dicken (An Uplifting Inspirational Romance)

For Natalie it is time for a break from work!  But grandmother's have a way of "roping" you into something that you may not have planned on doing, and such is the case as her grandmother requests her help with a retirement home Christmas fundraiser.  Thad is the director of the retirement home and he and Natalie don't always see eye to eye as fundraising plans move forward.  I love how the author's books are from the state of Iowa, my neighbor state growing up as a child.  I lived "across" the street in a Minnesota border town and my friends and I would ride our bikes "out of state" on a frequent basis. So Iowa really has a warm place in my heart. The setting of the book just makes you feel "cozy".  This was a sweet story of a matchmaker type, which I just love with a feel-good ending.  This is a very nice Christmas read!

Christmas with the Cowboy by Tina Radcliffe

I enjoyed this story very much. Emma is a young widow with twins.  Ranch life is keeping her very busy and when the brother of her late husband heads back from his life as a Navy SEAL, she finds a helping hand.  This story is a sweet reminder that God is watching over us. It is a  sweet Christmas story, but I think you can read this anytime and find it enjoyable.  It's a light read and I read it quickly.  

I won this book in a giveaway. 
 

A Path to Forgiveness by Carrie Lighte and Vannetta Chapman

This book is a compilation of 2 previously released books.  The books are well written and enjoyable reading. In Carrie Lighte's book, Arleta is certain that marriage is not in the future for her.  She has a secret that will cause no one to want her, she is certain. The story is also about Noah and he too, has a troubled heart due to what he feels he should have done differently preventing serious and tragic consequences.  Both need to find a way forward.

I could hardly wait to read this book by Vannetta Chapman.  It was really good.  I enjoyed how two hurting people were able to help each other both physically and emotionally.

It also is a good example of the care and love of people who are in need.  It's about family caring for one another and help from God as well as trust in Him.

I recommend this book!  It was so good!
