This book falls under the short story/novella category. It can be read in about an hour or so and its a very satisfying read.
Evelyn is a young Amish woman who thought she was going to make it in the Englisch world. She's preparing to get married, but things don't feel quite right. She doesn't have a connection with her fiance's sister, and the wedding gowns don't suit her. Its easy to see where her heart really lies early on. So when it seems like her fiance has a bit on the side, she heads back to Pennsylvania.
Evelyn is in search of forgiveness and love finds her along the way.in the form of an old friend, Elijah. Evelyn easily transitions back to her old life, though not without some conflict at the end. That's the only part I had trouble with, since Elijah was already a baptized member of the church. His actions towards her ex would likely have had some serious consequences for him.
Otherwise, this was a very enjoyable quick read, with characters you really got invested in, even in the short amount of time you spend with them....more
Beverly Lewis is one of the reigning stars of Amish fiction. She's also one of my favorite authors, especially now as her books are stand alone novelsBeverly Lewis is one of the reigning stars of Amish fiction. She's also one of my favorite authors, especially now as her books are stand alone novels rather than parts of a trilogy.
The First Love is one of the best books, by Ms. Lewis that I've read in ages. It is totally different from the usual Amish story she weaves.
In this book was see Maggie a young woman still in her running around years and her step mother and their trials and tribulations. Maggie suffers from rheumatoid arthritis, which keeps her to the house quite often and keeps her from wanting to have a husband, out of fear that a man will only want a strong, able bodied woman.
The setting is mostly 1951 Lancaster County, when the tent revivals were going on. I really wish more time was spent on those revivals, but one such played a huge part in Maggie's life and her devotion to god.
The other main character is Rachel, Maggie's step mother, though most of the book's focus is on Maggie. Rachel is struggling at taking control of a ready made family. It has been only a year since Maggie's mom passed.
I found myself getting very emotional when Maggie celebrated her 18th birthday, the first without her mother, as this year will be the first that I celebrate without my mom. I admit, reading that part of the story had tearing up quite a bit.
There is a bit of a romance brewing, though it is not a front and center courtship that you'd usually see in an Amish romance. The story really is the build up to the romance as Maggie deals with her health. with good and bad days and the growth of her faith.
I really enjoyed Maggie's journey to love and to greater faith. If you are a fan of Amish fiction, this book shouldn't be missed. ...more

It was a holiday Amish romance and from then on , she was one of my favorite authors of this genre. She's written many books since then but A Perfect Amish Match is just as beautiful as the one I read all those years ago.
This book is perfect because of the two characters, Olivia Mae and Noah. There story is full of laughter and tears, well, really, life. They both feel so very real. Olivia is a matchmaker, who has had issues with relationships herself but can make them for others and Noah is just about done with trying to find a woman, which is why he needs Olivia to help him learn how to court, except he finds himself needing Olivia.
I identified with Olivia Mae so very much. In fact, at times it was painful. She was taking care of her grandparents who had health issues, and I was remembering taking care of my grandmother and parents, with trouble with finances and a house that seems to want to crumble and a sibling that thought they might be better elsewhere.
I loved her dedication to her family and to her friends in finding love for them.
Then there is Noah. He's precious in his fumbling in the dating world. His missteps are heartbreaking at times and the will endear him more to each reader.
I love how they evolve from friends to something more, even though life seems to be conspiring against them.
This was a sweet and wonderful love story. Vannetta Chapman is one of the best when it comes to Amish fiction....more

1. Susan Wiggs is one of my go to Sometimes there are books that make me go "READ THIS!" This is one of those books for me. These are the reasons why.
1. Susan Wiggs is one of my go to authors when it comes to books I absolutely love.
2. Amish people figure into this story. OMG! I love when non-Christian writers, write about the Amish. This book felt so real and the characters were exactly what I wanted. Also the story is so emotional. The first three chapters are all about the tears.
3. Relationships between the Amish and English. Even better so that they are romantic relationships. Its wonderful that the relationship between Caleb and Reese is really a slow burn as they are both from two very different worlds.
4. The back story is perfection. As you get to know more about Caleb and how he came to be taking care of his niece and nephew and Reese and her parents. This is another OMG moment. So much drama, of different sorts
5. The surprise twists and turns at the end that leave your mouth gaping and yup, more tears.
6. The Epilogue that was just too beautiful for words.
This book was just the perfect read, full of strong characters and loads of emotion....more

The Ebb Tide was a wonderful, light read, with just a touch of the drama that Lewis sprinkles in all of her novels.
Sallie is a different sort of Amish girl. She has dreams of travel, which totally goes against her beliefs. Her original dream was to visit Australia, but when a family member needs help, she foregoes that dream, only to have an English family offer her a chance to visit the Jersey shore, at Cape May.
She takes on the job as a Nanny for a family she's known from the restaurant. Autumn is a beautiful girl having trouble adjusting to her new baby brother.
The dynamic between Sallie and Autumn is lovely and when she meets Kevin a young man studying to be a marine biologist, she feels a connection to him, even though there is an Amish man who has his eye on her.
Lewis portrays Sallie's struggle with her faith as well as her desire to see the world in a way that's mostly believable. In some ways everything falls together too nicely for Sallie, especially as she weighs her options of joining the church and going "fancy" and having a relationship with Kevin.
There is a plus to her budding relationship with Kevin. He may be an Englisher, but he has Amish ties in his family. He's totally sweet and has a strong faith, as well.
I loved Lewis' descriptions of Cape May, so much so that I really want to visit that area some day.
Charlotte Hubbard is one of my favorite writer's of Amish romance, any time I see a book by her, I do my best to get a copy.
With this book we see LeahCharlotte Hubbard is one of my favorite writer's of Amish romance, any time I see a book by her, I do my best to get a copy.
With this book we see Leah wed a local auctioneer that is a widower. No one feels that this match is a good one, even though Leah and Jude are really in love. Jude has three children and they are quite a handful. The girls are more than a handful. In fact, Alice and Adeline are more than a handful, at times they are downright hateful creatures. It is really hard to figure out why they are the way they are. Jude's son, Stevie is absolutely precious and a tiny champion for Leah, once he realizes she's not a wicked stepmother.
Leah and Jude have a huge handful with the twins. I never wanted to reach into a book to shake characters before, but these two girls needed shaking. They definitely acted like willful teenagers and then some.
This is a beautiful story of a family with issues coming together. Leah is not your typical Amish wife, but she has a lot of love to give and she is learning to be a good mother.
Then there is the abandoned baby, who becomes the glue that cements the new family together. Little Betsy precious and through her Leah finds herself becoming more and more of a mother. She cares so deeply for the children.
Ms. Hubbard has written a book about life and about love. Its more than a romance. Its a story of family and there are many times that will have you wiping tears.
If you love sweet Amish stories, you have to read this lovely book by Charlotte Hubbard....more
Fannie and Noah have a strange relationship when it comes to Amish romance. They have a fake engagement. That's not what you usually expect from anythFannie and Noah have a strange relationship when it comes to Amish romance. They have a fake engagement. That's not what you usually expect from anything about the Amish. I was really surprised at this premise, which is one of the reasons I wanted to read this book.
Fannie is very headstrong and has ideas that don't fit the Amish way of life, Noah does too. Both are enjoying a very long rumspringa, they are nearing 22 and neither have been baptized into the Amish faith, much to the chagrin of their parents. Throughout the book, I really couldn't see either of these two becoming members of the Amish faith. The things that they wanted out of life seemed to "English" to me.
I had a lot of issues with the characters, because they did act much younger than their years and they didn't seem to know what they really wanted. It got frustrating. Fannie was the character that bugged me the most, because I couldn't understand her not trying to explain so many things to her parents and then to Noah, when their relationship really seemed to be developing beyond the lines of friendship and more into a real courtship.
I did enjoy watching the two of them grow into more mature individuals as the story progressed. There was a bit of a surprise at the end that really left me gobsmacked.
Its a good clean romance, but for me, a longtime reader of Patricia's Amish romances, it wasn't quite up to her usual high standards....more

The primary story features Anna Esh who has recently moved to Middlefield with her mother to take care of her curmudgeonly Uncle Zeb. Zeb is really quite a hoot at times.
When she is working on her new Amish shop she meets Lukas Byler who is instantly taken with her. Lukas is also the brother of Elisabeth who is part of the other couple. She's a young girl of 18 who is just starting out at her first job. Aaron Detweiler works at the blacksmith shop. He's had his share of troubles. He's spent time in jail for drugs.
You have two very different couples but each are finding their way to each other. Both couples are very likable. Anna is very sweet and hardworking. She's trying to get over a heartbreak and she tries to stay clear of Lukas and his advances.
Elisabeth and Aaron have trouble getting together because Aaron is really beating himself up over his time spent in jail. He's scared to show any signs of having fun.
Each couple has a lot to work through to get to where they need to be. Anna has a health issue she's keeping a secret, and Elisabeth is just a little to hard headed at times.
I like the way the two stories are separate but weave together in spots because of the families involved.
I admit to liking Elisabeth and Aaron more than Anna and Lukas, because though Anna was all that was good, a lot of her misery was brought on herself. She didn't put her trust in those that loved her and that made her a bit frustrating at times.
I hope that these couples appear in other stories. I also hope that Elisabeth's friend Deborah gets a story, or that Deborah's predicament ends up helping Anna and Lukas at some point down the line....more

This story is really one of two families coming out of darkness. It isn't your usual light fluffy Amish read. Two families have a tragedy that pushes them apart when they were very close.
The story revolves around three sets of people who all suffered losses when the local mill caught fire. Darla is getting the brunt of it all. Everyone seems to blame her for what her father might have done. She's also lost the closeness she once had with Lukas Kinsinger who is now running the mill.
Aaron is Darla's brother who is not dealing with with the new responsibilities that fall on his shoulders. He's turning abusive to those that are close to him. He's a character that you almost want to feel sorry for. Sherry tries to get you to feel some sympathy for him. He knows what he's doing but he can't seem to control his anger.
Then there's Hannah, who lost her boyfriend, Paul in the fire. She's putting her life together working for an English family.
All of their lives seem to intersect through Aaron and his troubles.
I was surprised at how little faith seemed to play in this book especially when it came to Aaron and his violence. I would have thought that the Bishop of their district would have stepped in to help Darla and her family. In fact, a lot of the doings of the the residents of Charm seem to be a little progressive for Amish, especially Hannah who seems like she might be ready to leave the Amish faith for an English life.
I really enjoyed this book, and I look forward to finding out what happens in the next book....more

Beverly Lewis is one of the greats in this genre. I've always found her books to be like soap operas, especially when she wrote her sagas, that were usually 3 books.
Recently she's been writing stand alone novels and for the most part they have been fabulous, but for some reason The Photograph feels like she's phoned this one in. My high school creative writing teacher would call this one a pot boiler.
There was the usual drama going on, with Lily running off and the sister's brother wanting to take over the family farm, forcing the sisters to possibly find a new place to live as well as Eva losing out on the candy shop her father had built for her.
The trouble with this book was how flat the characters felt to me and I wished the story could have focused on Lily and her reasons for leaving. You get all the information on her at the end, but it just didn't feel fulfilling.
Menno was the story's villain, but even that didn't feel right to me. I mean, how could he not care for his three sisters, especially as they were all unmarried, and they all had recently lost their mother.
I did like Jed and Eva. Their romance, though to be perfectly honest, there wasn't much of one in the story was sweet. I liked that he came to really know her through the writings on her copy of "Little Women." The main conflict involves the photo that he finds in the book on the train to Lancaster. He mistakenly thinks the photo is of Eva.
Most books by Beverly Lewis are quick reads for me, but this one took me quite a while to finish because the story just didn't seem to go anywhere. It was like spinning wheels. It was a good enough book, but not one of Lewis' best....more

Emma Miller has wriI love Amish fiction and mysteries involving the Amish always intrigue me, especially when one of my favorite authors is involved. Emma Miller has written many wonderful novels for Love Inspired and I've read many of them.
Plain Dead is the third book her Amish Mystery series and it can be read as a stand alone. In fact, this is one of the few series books that I didn't feel like I was missing out by not having read the other two books.
I loved the interactions between Rachel and the townspeople as well as her Amish family. She's truly living in two worlds, and you can definitely see the Amish in her even though she has lived the English life for many years.
I found the pacing of this story to be a little slow at times. I like my cozies to move along quickly. I did love the scenes around the Winter Frolic.
Her relationship with Evan is a bit hard for me to deal with, but that has a lot to do with her Amish background. The murder really puts a strain on their engagement that they haven't told anyone about. (Although most seem to know about it already)
There are plenty of people who have reasons to want Billingsly dead, and Rachel sets out to find out who the killer is, because she's also a person of interest, having had an argument with him the day before he was found, and he had information on her past that he was threatening to expose.
As she starts to eliminate suspects, she's the only one left standing. Then a young Amish boy ends up dead, and the circumstances just don't sit well with her.
When the killer is found it really shocked me. It was the last person that I expected.
This was a wonderfully well written mystery. So glad Emma is writing in this genre, because that means more books for me to read. ...more
I absolutely love the Seasons Of The Heart novels by Charlotte Hubbard. I've read nearly all of them, and this is a wonderful addition to the series I absolutely love the Seasons Of The Heart novels by Charlotte Hubbard. I've read nearly all of them, and this is a wonderful addition to the series and it is a Christmas book on top of it all. That's a plus for me. I adore romances with a Christmas setting.
This is the last book in the series and I'm going to be sad to see this series go, as I loved Willow Ridge and all the inhabitants.
In this book there are two couples Ben and Miriam who you will know from past books and Lena and Josiah, both couples are expecting babies, but they are at different points in their lives and relationships and find help in one another.
Lena is pregnant but not yet wed to Josiah, who is a very volatile young man. They are on their way to Higher Ground when they have trouble with their buggy in a snow storm. Hiriam is involved in their story which always brings drama to the story. He's just not a nice guy, as anyone that's read this series will know.
Josiah has done a lot of catering back in Iowa, and was going to work at Hiriam's supper club, but once in Willow Ridge he finds God has other plans for him.
Ben and Miriam help both Lena, who is struggling with Josiah's behavior and her pregnacy and Josiah grow up, while the younger two help them with some of the issues with Sweet Seasons.
The ending is really bittersweet and brings closure to everyone, knowing that all the drama that has been occurring will be at an end.
This is a beautiful uplifting story and a fabulous way to send off this grand series. If you haven't read any of these books, I urge you to do so. You won't regret it. All of them are stand alone novels, but you will see characters from other books mixing and minging. ...more

Likes:
1. I like that we see the Amish portrayed as sexual beings. I realize that they are a very religious people but they do have the same desires the rest of us have, and it is nice to see them portrayed as such.
2. I love that these books aren't set in the usual settings. (It is also cool that the ice mine is real)
3. Each book has a real world issue that the Amish people are dealing with. In this book it is domestic violence and sexual abuse.
4. I really love the characters and how the characters from the first book still figure prominently into this story, without making things difficult to understand.
Dislikes
1. Joseph's father's cancer/heart attack/illness whatever you want to call it. I like miracles where they can be believable, but in this case it was laughable. A stage 4 lung cancer diagnosis usually doesn't happen in the ER either and PET scans don't usually happen that way either.
2. The bishop letting all the Englischers into the faith. To the best of my knowledge about this faith, it is not that easy, even if they are a mountain people. The bishop seemed a little too easygoing.
3. This story seemed to go on much longer than it should have. I felt it should have wrapped up after the drama with Priscilla's ex or even after the business with her father.
The book was enjoyable but there was way too much that didn't feel quite right for the Amish...more
The Amish Bride Of Ice Mountain isn't your typical Amish fiction. This book deals with real issues and even intimacy between a man and his wife. BecauThe Amish Bride Of Ice Mountain isn't your typical Amish fiction. This book deals with real issues and even intimacy between a man and his wife. Because most Amish fiction falls under "Christian fiction" you don't get much beyond a kiss in those books.
Don't get me wrong, there's no hot and heavy Amish sex scenes going on here, but Kelly does allow you to see that Amish people have romantic/and sensual feelings too.
It wasn't always an easy read, because the Amish in this community aren't like the Amish you read about from places like Lancaster, PA or Sugarcreek, OH. These people are mountain people and some of their ideas are very backwards. Mary and Jude are married because he had the audacity to kiss her.
Mary was really a unique character. She embodied innocence in most things,except her feelings for Jude.
The story itself is full of family drama for both characters, from a near rape to strange family issues with both mother and father and ex girlfriends.
That in itself should prove to you that this isn't your typical Amish setting. So if you are looking for a book where everything is peachy keen, then you might want to look elsewhere. Some might describe this book as edgy, but I don't really think so. In more ways it is real or at least the blinders are taken away. Not all Amish people are nice and Long portrays that well with the scene with Isaac, even though things change at the end.
Some things are wrapped up to easily for me though. I felt that some drama could have been cut back or more explanations given. I found this to really be the case with Josh's father Ted, and even his ex, Carol. I would have also enjoyed getting to know Mary and Jude's families a bit better.
I did love the Ice Mountain setting, which is a real place in PA, and one that I hope to visit at some point in my life.
This was an enjoyable read for those that want a little more from their Amish fiction. I look forward to reading Joseph's story next. ...more
Harvest of Blessings is the fifth book in the Seasons Of The Heart series by Charlotte Hubbard.
If you love Amish romance with a little bit of a soap Harvest of Blessings is the fifth book in the Seasons Of The Heart series by Charlotte Hubbard.
If you love Amish romance with a little bit of a soap opera touch, you'll love this book. I absolutely loved this book and it was very much like a soap opera.
Nora gave up her child when she was sixteen, her father turning his back on her and keeping her from her family. Sixteen years later, she comes home and wants to reconnect.
You learn more about who the father of her baby is and a bit about her pregnancy. It is much easier to connect to her. I liked that she wasn't willing to come back to the Old Order just to please her family.
Then there's Luke, who definitely has a thing for her, and his brother, Ira, has a thing for her daughter.
See what I mean? Soap Opera-y!
I love it.
Oh and Hiriam is up to his old tricks. He's really a great villain in this series. He is really a nasty guy that enjoys stirring up trouble.
There are lots of twists and turns, but that's what makes this such a great read! I love this series!...more
An Amish Cradle is a wonderful collection of stories of Amish couples becoming parents, some for the first time and others a welcome addition to the fAn Amish Cradle is a wonderful collection of stories of Amish couples becoming parents, some for the first time and others a welcome addition to the family
Each couple has some hardships that go along with the arrival of the boppoli (baby).
In The Father's Arms is the first novella, and it is my favorite of the four. Ruth Anne and Levi have their first child and he has Down Syndrome. This story details a woman coming to terms with a child's disability as well as with a husband that his struggling with it. There are many times during their journey as new parents that you'll want to cry
A Son For Always is Amy Clipston's offering here, and it is a novella that is part of the Lancaster Grand Hotel series. Carolyn has found love with Joshua, and they are expecting their first child together, but she has doubts about him accepting her son Ben, that she had out of wedlock as a teenager.
I love that this story tackles an issue that you don't usually see in Amish fiction. It shows that the Amish have the same problem as the rest of the world
I did think that Carolyn's worries about Joshua were a bit excessive, but it also showed her deep love for her son.
This was an absolutely beautiful story that reminded me I have to get some more of Amy's books.
A Heart Full Of Love had my nerves on edge. I loved this story, but I wanted to reach into the pages and shake Ellie's mother most of the time. Ellie is blind and the mother of twins and Edna really steamrollers her after their birth with her over protectiveness.
There is a reason for her behavior and it will break your heart for her.
More than that, it shows what a strong, capable woman Ellie is.
The final story in the book is Vanetta Chapman's An Unexpected Blessing. I love Vanetta's books, and this was really a sweet story of a couple having a child later in life. Etta is 42 and her husband is 45, so there are challenges with her pregnancy.
I didn't quite feel that Mose should be acting as old as he was. OMG he was only 45!!!
There was more to this story than the new baby, there was also the return of their son, who was away on his rumspinga.
I liked the different family dynamic in this novella. I loved how the cradle was being passed back from Etta's son to his mother.
Four wonderful stories to warm your heart. Highly recommended to those of you that can't get enough Amish fiction...more

It is part of a seriesFirst, let me say I love Amish fiction and Amish romance even more. This is the second book in the One Big Happy Family series. It is part of a series, but not to worry, this book can be read as a stand alone novel.
I have to say that Naomi is now one of my favorite writers in this genre. She brings the many characters to life in such a way that you feel you are watching through the window.
Its a novel of family, big family, and the hardships they face as well as their faith. Amanda and Wyatt face some financial hardships, while Emma's family are dealing with a heartbreaking loss, while she is discovering love for the first time.
I was really drawn to the characters, all of them! I especially loved Emma's father Merle. He was a sweetie and he made me think of my own father quite a bit.
Jerome was lovable too and his courtship with Emma was sweet and heartwarming. (And not at all easy)
Through the two families, you see growth through change. Jerome and Emma brought out good things in each other and Amanda and Wyatt's family proved that a family that can work together can pull through just about anything.
This is the type of book that you curl up with on a lazy afternoon and you don't move until the last page is turned....more
This is one of the sweetest Amish romances that you'll ever read. Anna Helmuth is quite the matchmaker and this time she's planning on getting her graThis is one of the sweetest Amish romances that you'll ever read. Anna Helmuth is quite the matchmaker and this time she's planning on getting her granddaughter, Beth hooked up with Tyler Yoder, who was jilted by his last choice of bride.
Our hero and heroine are both a bit shy of marriage/love. Beth is out of an abusive relationship, not only with her departed husband, but also her inlaws. As you discover more and more about her husband Amos and his mom and brothers, you can't help but feel terribly sorry for her. Her son Toby, is the most precious thing. I loved how he calls people he loves "Mommy."
Tyler is the best hero ever, as far as Amish romance is concerned. He is all kindness and goodness. Even though he doesn't expect to find love after his last relationship went awry, his feelings for Beth are there almost from the start. (Even when she's hitting him with sunflowers).
When Beth refuses Tyler's proposal, she offers to find him a bride. Her matchmaking is hilarious, and almost as funny as the old Amish bachelors that come courting her. Vernon is an absolute hoot, and he doesn't seem to realize that there is someone else in her heart.
This is an absolutely wonderful read for the holiday season and a great book for lovers of Amish romance.
I think I fall a little more in love with Hope Springs with each book. The Amish Nanny sees Clara Barkman finding love. If you are following the serieI think I fall a little more in love with Hope Springs with each book. The Amish Nanny sees Clara Barkman finding love. If you are following the series, her character was introduced in The Shepherd's Bride, which was her sister Lizzie's story.
I loved that book, but The Amish Nanny is even better.
I'm a sucker for books with young children, especially those in need of some extra TLC, and Micha, Amos and Lily are all in need of that, having lost both of their parents tragically.
Ethan is trying to be a good guardian to his young nieces and nephews, but as a single guy, he's in over his head. That's where Clara comes in.
It is easy to see the chemistry between these two, and Clara's connection to the children is marvelous. However, both Ethan and Clara have fears from their past that are keeping them from being happy together.
There's quite a few things that help them overcome these fears, but one is almost a tragedy, that really added a little bit of drama to an otherwise sweet romance.
I loved Ethan's backstory, with his brother and his ex. They really shaped the man he has become. We learn a little more about Clara as well, but if you read the previous book, you'll know what her demons are. We also get an idea of what might be in store for one of the other Barkman sisters.
I always look forward to Patricia's books and this one was really fantastic....more
