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!

I received an  ARC from the author.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.

A Courtship For The Amish Spinster by Vannetta Chapman (Indiana Amish Market)


Such a great book!  I really enjoyed this story of Eunice and Zeb.  I have enjoyed every book of this series and this was a great addition to the series. Eunice isn't the usual homemaking Amish young woman, but rather likes to fix mechanical things such as what would be typically something a man would do.  Her father gives her a chance to find work or to find someone to have a relationship with or he will send her to relatives in Kentucky to have a better chance of finding her match. She is the only one of her sisters that has no relationship.  Zeb has a son but has lost his wife leaving him sad and sometimes a little rough around the edges.  He needs someone to be a nanny for his son and she needs a job.  

This is a really sweet story.  The girl in the picture looks a lot like my granddaughter, so I think she is adorable!  If you enjoy Amish romance, you will really enjoy this book.  I sure did!  I received an ARC of this book and was not required to leave a review.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.

The Mysterious Amish Bachelor by Vannetta Chapman (Indiana Amish Market Romance)


As Noah returns after being away for 10 years, how will he explain his absence or will he bury it away?  Sarah is getting on in years for being of prime marriageable age for the Amish.She is attracted to Noah and wants to know more about him.  But Noah is very guarded about the past and worries about her finding out about his past.  It is a sweet story but will forgiveness be enough?  I have enjoyed this series very much and enjoyed this book as well.  I recommend it for readers of Amish romance.

Her Chance at Family by Angie Dicken (Heartland Sweethearts)


This is a sweet story of Elisa, having been left at the altar and becoming the guardian of her two nieces.  She moves to a newly renovated house and brings along her sweet nieces.  She meets Sean, a landscaper working on her property.  This was a very enjoyable book for me.  I love the location because I grew up "across the street" from the Iowa border.  It's nice to bring back the small town feel memories of my youth.  I enjoyed the interaction of the characters and there is always something that changes the storyline to keep your interest. Elisa needs lots of help as she tries to juggle and balance family life and work life.  I recommend this great read and really look forward to more books from this writer.  I received a complimentary copy of this book.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Her Pretend Courtship by Jocelyn McClay and Vannetta Chapman


Their Unpredictable Path by Jocelyn McClay

This was my first book by this author and I was impressed by the enjoyable storyline and the story engaged me from the very first page.  It was a really sweet story with two people who created a pretend relationship to avoid the "attentions" of family, and other "well-intentions friends who want them both to find a suitable match.  It is a really enjoyable story and I like the author's style and definitely want to read her books.

Together these two books make a great combo!  You will love both stories!

 An Unlikely Amish Match by Vannetta Chapman:  

Susannah Beiler has decided to protect the other young Amish women from Micah Fisher.  He is definitely not your model Amish man and Susanna decides that the other women won't seek after him if she decides to date him herself.

This was a really good book and has lots of touching and tender moments in it.  And there was humor as well. It was one of those reads that you decide to read in one sitting because you don't want to stop reading.  Micah was a lovable character even though he doesn't always abide by the strict Amish rules and regulations. There are some surprising twists in the story and the characters grow and learn about themselves and others.  Kind of like we do!  I enjoyed this story very much.

His Sweet Surprise by Angie Dicken


A delightful Iowa story.  Love this area, having grown up 1/2 mile from the Iowa border.  The sweet midwestern region comes through in the story details. As Lance returns home to help in the apple orchard, he finds his ex-girlfriend there, along with her cute daughter, Maelyn.  This is a sweet story line of family and the love of family members.  I love the "sweet surprise", as I have personally experienced such surprises in my own family lines.  I love the forgiveness and imperfect families.  It's just a really nice story that you will enjoy!

Her Amish Adversary by Vannetta Chapman (Indiana Amish Market)


This was a very good book showing that not even the Amish are not without problems that cause their families issues which they have difficult struggles coping with.  It is a very well written book and a wonderful read that Amish book readers will really love.

I loved the conflict and tension between Bethany and Aaron, and the fresh and new storyline which kept me reading throughout.  You won't want to miss this one. I highly recommend it.

An Amish Christmas Inheritance by Virginia Wise


 This was a fun book for me and I really enjoyed it.  I grabbed it at Walmart the other day and so glad I did!.  I loved how the characters grew and developed through the trials and what appeared to be a real obstacle to venture through.  It's fun reading and I was happy that I took the time to read it.  It's a sweet and happy Christmas story.  It's a feel good kind of book!

An Amish Proposal for Christmas By Vannetta Chapman (Book 1 of 2 Indiana Amish Market)

 

Well, I just really enjoyed this sweet romance.  It was so enjoyable to watch the characters change and grow in the their own respective ways.  Becca had a goal to travel and needed to train a replacement for her job at the Amish Market.  Gideon's father sent him from Texas to Indiana to fill Becca's shoes.  He is missing Texas and his smaller community of Beeville.  As the story continues, the love story starts to bloom. Going from friends to falling in love in a sweet way was fun to see.

It was interesting to read about her plans to join the Mennonite Disaster Services and to find out about what they do to help others.  I love Amish Markets and shops so it was a fun read.

A Chance to Heal, By Vannetta Chapman and Rebecca Kertz (2Novels in one book)


This is a book containing two separate books that have been reprinted and bound into one great book!

The first story, written by Vannetta Chapman is entitled "The Baby Next Door".  And the second, was by Rebecca Kertz and entitled Loving Her Amish Neighbor.

The Baby Next Door

I love this book!  I was so happy to read this sweet and fun read!   I say fun because there were some humorous parts that were light and make you laugh.  It was so enjoyable to read Grace and Adrian's story.  Grace has a secret that weighs her down and keeps her from the happiness that she hopes for.  Adrian runs a quirky and fun farm zoo of sorts and decides that tours for the Englischers would be a good way to earn some money.  He engages Grace into his tour plans and from there the story unfolds.  

It's just a good book and I really enjoyed reading it!  I am sure you will too!

Loving Her Amish Neighbor

Lucy and her daughter are the victims of a hit and run to their Amish buggy.  Gabriel sees their situation and steps up and helps them to get the help that is needed.  Their new friendship grows despite their individual personal trials that they are going through.  This story is a tender story of their healing from different but tragic events in their lives.

Both these stories combine into a great pair of stories of healing and love.  Loved them both and was happy for the opportunity to read them

I received a complimentary copy of this book and was under no obligation to give a positive review.  All thoughts are my own.
