The Pretender by Jennifer Spredemann

This was book 9 of the Amish Country Brides series by Jennifer Spredemann.  It was an engaging and fun read.  Poor Amy Troyer, whose fiance left to join the Englisch, with or without her.  After he returns to their Amish district after a 2 year departure, Amy discovers that he is engaged.  She talks to Nathaniel about having a pretend courtship with her in the hopes that it will make former fiance, Toby jealous.  Perhaps even to get them back together.

What happens between them is heartwarming and then Toby returns and decides he wants to have her back.  Now Amy has to decide what is best for her future.  The book has an interesting twist that will catch you by surprise!  

This book was a great addition to the series and as with each of the earlier books, a great read that you will totally enjoy!  The author is very talented and brings good Christian values to each of her books.  And of course, Sammy was there to add some helpful advice to those who need it.

I received a copy of this book from the author with no requirement to give a positive review.  All thoughts are my own.

An Amish Schoolroom by Amy Clipston, Kathleen Fuller, Shelley Shepard Gray

 These stories were wonderful!  I love all three of these authors and what a great combination they make.

The stories were each different and about different Amish teachers who find love.  It's fun to see the ins and outs of the Amish school and how it differs with school as we know it.  The stories were interesting, enjoyable and sweet romances.  I really enjoyed them all and highly recommend to the Amish book fan.

The book is very engaging and you don't want to put the book down.  I hope these three wonderful authors will continue to collaborate because they make for some great reading!

An Amish Barn Raising by Amy Clipston, Kelly Irvin and Kathleen Fuller

I enjoyed this compilation so much.  Nice, enjoyable and sweet romance.  What could be better?!

I will do a short review on each of the three stories.

To Build a Dream by Amy Clipston

Very nice romance story of two Amish people finding that her father was opposed to them dating, forbidding contact between them.  This was a story of trusting in God and what he has in store for us.  I really liked the sweet feelings this book brought to me.  I really thought it was a well written and enjoyable story.

To Raise a Home by Kelly Irwin

This story was another sweet romance with some rough patches along the road.  Delilah returns to her home town after a year hoping that her situation with her special friend, Evan will continue as before.  But Evan has moved on.  It's a sweet heartwarming story and very enjoyable.

Love's Solid Foundation by Kathleen Fuller

Devon Bontrager's twin brothers have a unhappy past with Nettie Yoder and yet as Devon returns to his hometown, there is something there between them.  It is fun to see characters from previous stories come into play.  I love that!  And this was a story of  trust in God and others.

All three of the stories have a barn raising theme and there are all so fun to read.

An Amish Singing by Amy Clipston

This book contains four sweet novellas.  A group of young people in an Amish community find a way to bring happiness to others in their community who have been sick or grieving and to sing and share their Gospel with non-Amish guests at dinners served in an Amish home.  The stories share a sweet story of romance among those in the singing group.  There is continuity in the stories, even though each features a different couple finding the way together.

I loved the stories and each one was enjoyable to read. The stories are uplifting and has its own Amish charm.  The stories are of faith, love and kindness.

If you enjoy Amish books, you will definitely enjoy this book.  Very fun read and inspirational stories.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Zondervan through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

An Amish Picnic by Amy Clipston, Kelly Irvin, Kathleen Fuller, Vannetta Chapman

It was really enjoyable to read the four novellas written by four great Amish romance writers!
Each story was entertaining, sweet, and fun to read.  I liked the picnic them that the stories shared and the fun story topics as each was different and revolved around different characters.

I really enjoyed this summer read, especially since it's still pretty cold and I look forward to enjoying a fun picnic!  I think you will enjoy this steady paced and well written set of stories.

Love's Truest Hope Three Inspirational Novellas by Laura V. Hilton, Rachel J. Good and Mary Alford

Three Amish stories all different and interesting in their own ways.  I enjoyed each one of them!

Mission of Love Laura V. Hilton

This was an excellent story about an Amish man providing service to the community and his caring for others and how he helps those in need.  I really enjoyed this interesting storyline.

Bid for Love by Rachel J. Good

Their service was sold to the highest bidder and it was VERY HIGH!  The young Amish threesome that volunteered their services as yard workers are now wondering just what is expected of them and why?  This is a bit of a mystery as well as romance.  You will love knowing what the reason for this is.  Such a great story and a wonderful read.

Plain Redemption by Mary Alford

This is an author whose name I have often seen in connection to Amish fiction yet my first chance to read some of her writing.  I was happy to read this enjoyable book and will be looking for more from this author.

I was given an ebook copy of this book.  All thoughts are my own.

The Brides of The Big Valley by Wanda E. Brunstetter, Jean Brunstetter & Richelle Brunstetter

This sweet set of three Amish stories is really one I am glad I was able to read.  The book has three intertwined stories of the different Amish groups in the Big Valley in Pennsylvania.  This book dealt with the trials of those who have  physical struggles to overcome.  The book has different personalities and I really enjoyed reading it.  And how can they come together if they are from different Amish groups? 

I was very happy to read this book and it was a most enjoyable read. 

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

An Amish Reunion by Amy Clipston, Beth Wiseman, Kathleen Fuller and Kelly Irvin

An Amish Reunion by Amy Clipson, Beth Wiseman, Kathleen Fuller, Kelly Irvin is a wonderful compilation of 4 sweet stories of different Amish reunions.  The stories were heartwarming, fun to read and very enjoyable.  I loved Kelly Irvin's book which centered around the location of Jamesport, the first Amish town that I personally visited and so it made it a great read for me as I could picture the town and the people as I saw them there.

Each story was individual and unique and different to read.  Some of the topics were very serious and thought provoking.  I think it was a realistic way to present some difficult and hard issues of the Amish.  Sometimes we don't read about the difficulties that also come to them as well.

A very good book. I am very glad that I was able to read it!

Amish Celebrations by Beth Wiseman

Beautiful cover for a beautiful book.  There are four novellas included in this book and they are all written by Beth Wiseman.  I have enjoyed many of her Amish books in the past and this was another to add to the list of why I enjoy reading books by this author.

All clean and interesting stories that hold your attention and show interesting situations, which were believable and interesting.  I could envision the twin sisters as they found themselves interested in the same guy and how things got a bit rivalous between the two.

I think anyone interested in Amish fiction will enjoy these stories of love of family and friends.
