Hidden Away at Promise Lodge by Charlotte Hubbard is a sweet Amish tale. I always enjoy returning to Promise Lodge. Hidden Away at Promise Lodge is the seventh novel in the Promise Lodge series. I recommend reading the series in order. It allows you to get to know the characters and how each of them came to Promise Lodge. You will also learn who created the town and why they did it. I like that it is a community of Amish and Mennonites. The Mennonites attend Amish weddings and vice versa. I like the camaraderie between the residents of the town. It is like they are one big family. They are, though, always happy to welcome new residents. The author has created a delightful cast of characters for this series. Two visitors to Promise Lodge do not fool a soul. Reading about Amish does not give you the knowledge to act Amish. Karen and Andi, the visitors to Promise Lodge, provided some laugh out loud moments. The lady’s knowledge of the lodge, though, may come in handy after a violent storm. Sylvia, a widow, came to Promise Lodge to die peacefully after a terrible diagnosis. Mose, a horse trainer, is glad that his twin sister has found happiness. Sylvia has caught Moses’ eye. While Mose is good with animals, he has trouble with people. Mose is an inspirational character. I enjoyed Mose and Sylvia’s story. It is sweet and inspiring. I like Charlotte Hubbard’s writing style. It is friendly and engaging. I like how faith was incorporated into the story. Prayer is a powerful tool as we see in this story. I like that we get to see how all things come together for those who serve the Lord. I like how the residents of the town worked together to help each other. The descriptions of the food will have your mouth watering. I was sorry when I turned the last page of the story. I am eager for Miracles at Promise Lodge to come out (preview at the end of Hidden Away at Promise Lodge). Hidden Away at Promise Lodge is a touching tale with wedding arrangements, two curious visitors, a devastating storm, driving Clydesdales, the power of prayer, and a favorable future. ( )

I think I have read each of the Promise Lodge books so far. This one just might be my favorite one. I enjoyed the fact that the lodge was visited by 2 young women trying to bring back good memories of their young years at church camp and who loved Amish romance books. It was a "perfect fit" for their one week stay. I loved their appearance and am sort of hoping it won't be their last???
Anyway, the story kept me reading throughout. I really enjoyed the different storylines that went through the book. Each capturing my attention and then the fear that the lodge would be destroyed due to a horrific storm kept my attention. The characters were all charming and you get to be a member of the lodge residents with all its warm feelings as the story continues. I recommend this book to Amish readers and those that are still wondering if they would like or love Amish books. It is really worth reading!

I received a complimentary copy of this book but was not under obligation to give a positive review. All opinions are my own. ( )

Hidden Away at Promise Lodge is the 7th book in the Promise Lodge series by Charlotte Hubbard. Having not read the previous stories, I was able to read this story without any problems and quickly felly in love with the characters. This is a well written contemporary Amish story that is very descriptive and easy to read. It was easy to imagine the fear the characters had during the storm and what followed. It was interesting to read of Karen's and Andi's return to the lodge, the memories they had, and how it helped during the storm. I also enjoyed the growing relationship between Sylvia and Mose despite their differences. This story shows how the Amish and the Mennonite differ yet how they are there to help each other in need.

This is a nice heartwarming story to read. I voluntarily received a copy of this story, this is my honest review. ( )

Although the recap talks about Mercer and Andi Swann as though they were going to be main characters throughout the novel-they aren't. They do help things along when tragedy strikes, but that is about it.

This book is filled with two desperate tragedies, a miracle, and several weddings.

This is a melding of an Amish community and a Mennonite community, and I wish I had read the earlier books in this series so I could have understood this melding better. There are many characters to keep track of, and that got a little complicated for me. Most likely, this wouldn't have been a problem had I read the other books in this series. ( )
