Amy Clipston

Bethany operates the coffee corner in Bird-in-Hand's marketplace. Each Saturday morning Micah Zook and his grandfather Enos pay her a visit to sample her flavors. Two of her cousins married. One is temporarily on leave from the market; the other who just had a small child will be setting up her baking business at a stand at her home when the child is old enough for her to do so. Bethany's feeling that all the guys like her cousins but that she's just not the type they choose to wed. She's attracted to Micah, but Micah's running from his past--a bad relationship with his father and an engagement that ended with his beloved dying. Can he open up his heart to Bethany? I enjoyed this story. Clipston is quickly becoming one of my favorite Amish fiction authors because of her interesting stories.… (altro)

In this latest installment in the Amish Legacy series, a young couple struggles to overcome fears and misunderstandings to forge a loving and solid relationship. Kira is visiting Pennsylvania from her Indiana home in order to help her Aunt Ellen take care of her children and her newborn baby. However, Kira is also trying to recover from her broken engagement, so she is understandably uncertain when she meets Jayden, with whom she feels an instant connection. This sweet and clean Christian novel tells the story of these two sweethearts and how they overcome their fears about a new relationship. Along the way, Kira and her new friends play matchmaker to an older couple.

Readers familiar with the other novels in this series will encounter old friends as well as a new part of the continuing storyline. However, this novel can also be read as a standalone novel. The Christian message is overt, and the story contains no descriptive violence, steamy scenes, or strong language.

I received this novel from the publisher and from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The opinions expressed here are my own.… (altro)

I have had an ARC of this book for what feels like forever. Every few months I went back and started reading the book but lost interest quite quickly. I have enjoyed almost every Amy Clipston book in the past but this one just missed the mark for me. It felt a like a very stereotypical Amish novel. Maybe I will give this book a chance in the future, but that day is not today.
