Caring for Her Amish Family by Carrie Lighte

I really enjoyed this sweet story of Anke and her non-Amish nephew.  I loved Anke's loving character and her patience.  She was a great example to everyone, even the difficult characters.  It was sad how the community was not willing to welcome her nephew and made it very hard to have little Will feel a part of both the family and the community.

I enjoyed the character of Josiah and how he was the only one that was willing to help in the situation that Anke found herself in. I felt so strongly in favor of Anke and what she was doing to help her sister and nephew.  She was a strong person in the book and you can't help but cheer her on.

Great family story.  So glad I purchased this last month!

An Unlikely Amish Match by Vannetta Chapman

Book #5 of the Indiana Amish Brides was a fun and engaging book.  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.

I received a copy of this book from the author.  All thoughts are my own.

Accidental Courtship by Lisa Bingham

This was a book that I received at the last Reader's Luncheon in Utah.  It was so good!  I haven't read any other books from this author, but she's good, so I will be watching for more of her books in the future!

Here's the book blurb:
No women are allowed at the Batchwell Bottoms mining camp—yet Dr. Sumner Havisham headed West seeking a job there. When an avalanche strands her and several mail-order brides, she’s up against strict rules—and stern mine superintendent Jonah Ramsey. But nothing will stop her—especially from helping Jonah, who needs her healing in more ways than one.

For Jonah, his job is a refuge from his past. He has good reasons to stay far away from the spirited Sumner, especially since he thinks he has nothing to offer. But as tensions rise, her caring and skill ignites a love he’d never thought he’d find. Can they save the dreams they’ve worked so hard for—and claim a life together?

I loved the story and loved Sumner.  What a feisty gal!   The story takes place in Utah, where I live, so that made it even more fun and I could totally relate!

I thought Jonah was a great guy and they made for a great story!
