Her Amish Country Valentine by Patricia John
Her Amish
Country Valentine by Patricia Johns, book one in the Amish Butternut B & B
series, where there is a family wedding, a
matchmaker, an old bachelor in love, a fake relationship and lasting true love
somewhere in all of this.
Jill Wicke has come to Danke, Pennsylvania to attend her sister's
wedding. Two years of planning makes this a big deal that has to be just right,
including the need for a date for the single sister. Jill is staying with her
Amish great-aunt during her time in Danke, at the Butternut Bed and Breakfast,
which aunt Belinda owns. On her arrival, Jill meets Thom Miller, a small town
carpenter, who is renovating her great-aunt’s kitchen; a friend of the groom
and coming off a bad breakup. Jill and Thom decide to have a fake relationship
to help them get through the wedding. Except, Thom doesn’t want to pretend only
at the wedding, he wants them to, date, and get to know each other. Spending
time together also allowed their feelings for each other to grow, which could
be a major problem; Jill was drawn to big city life and its rat race while Thom
loved the slow, relaxed pace of small town living. What a dilemma. Jill and
Thom are heading toward a strong, deep, forever love or stubborn broken hearts
if their stubbornness is unwilling to bend.
Ms Johns wrote an endearing story of two people who have known
heartache, have known what it feels like to have people constantly trying to
fix your love life, who work hard at guarding their hearts, and yet deep down,
all they want is a future with that someone special. Those elements, along with
how they were able to open up to each other with honesty and vulnerability,
helped change Jill and Thom's "fake" relationship into something
more. Interesting and amusing secondary characters that complement the story
without taking the focus off of the main characters; great-aunt Belinda’s
matchmaking, bachelor farmer Earl living next-door, Eeyore the donkey, Nellie,
and Jill’s sister. I highly recommend Falling for the Amish Bad Boy to
other readers.
I voluntarily reviewed a
complimentary copy of this book.
