A Heart on Consignment by Mindy Steele (The Heart of the Amish)

This was a sweet romance with Salina's parents worrying about her marital status.  Having difficulty finding the right person, Salina pours her heart into helping those whose lives have been upended by a terrible storm. Seth is a newcomer in the community with a sad experience as well.Salina and Seth meet and slowly their relationship grows.  Salina's mother is very determined to find the man for her but what will be her opinion of someone not of their community?  Salina's self-esteem revolves around her height, plain hair and face. But her kindness and friendliness makes up for what she feels is lacking.

It is a nice story and was enjoyable to read. I am sure readers of Amish fiction will find the book interesting and a good read.  I received an ARC copy of this book from the publisher.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.

The Quilt Room Secret by Lisa Jones Baker

I enjoy Amish fiction.  I enjoyed the story of Trini and her quilting friends and the way they cared for one another.Trini and Jacob were friends as children and he loved her for her kindness and later in life hoped they could have a future together.  Trini has a secret that could change her life.  She holds the secret in her heart,  and has a hard time bringing it out.  The story was a sweet story of this couple.  This is a light story with a pleasant story line.

Ruth's Ginger Snap Surprise by Anne Blackburne (The Heart of the Amish)

I thought this was such a sweet and pleasant book to read.  After a hectic month, I needed a relaxing and enjoyable read and this book was just that for me.  I loved the kitten factor.  I loved the pushy bishop and all the characters were very likeable in their own ways, including even obnoxious Evelyn.  The story is nice in every way and I hope to read more from this author.

The Flower Quilter by Mindy Steele (The Heart of the Amish)

This book shares the feeling that we are not all cut out of the same cloth and that is the case with Barbara whose family members are all natural quilters.  But it is not "her thing".  She loves to find her own way and she finds herself in the town of her grandmother, (another family quilter) and meets Melvin and together they quilt beautiful landscaping of flowers in wonderful patterns.

It's a very sweet story and the first book I have read by this author.  I enjoyed it very much and hope to read more from this author.  Very nicely done! I received a complimentary copy and was not required to give a positive review.  All opinions and thoughts are my own.
