Plain Jane's Secret Admirer by Anne Blackburne,
Plain Jane's Secret Admirer by Anne
Blackburne, book eleven in
the Heart of the Amish series, is full of faith, hope,
dreams, supportive friends, humor, mystery, and an unexpected romance
growing between friends.
Sweet, shy, and devoted Amish woman, Jane Bontrager secretly hates her
childhood nickname of Plain Jane. She doesn’t know who started the ugly name
back in her school days, but she it has affected how she her feels around
others. For a long while Jane has crushed on Samuel Mast, a shy buggy maker
with a few secrets. Sam has crushed on Jane for a long time but because he was
the one who accidently gave her that nickname, he fears. In addition he is too
shy to express how he truly feels.
While her friend and owner of the Plain Beignet bakery goes on a two week
honeymoon leaving Jane in charge, a series of events seem to happen, all
connected to her plain Jane image; despite she being the only one who sees
herself that way. Jane discovers she has a secret admirer, unpleasant
encounters with a new person in town. Then the bakery owner’s cat goes missing
while in her care, not to mention the mystery of the colorful eggs in a wooden
bowl left for her by a secret admirer. With the approach of Valentine’s Day and
Jane needing help, Sam is hopeful he can show her how much he cares about her
while helping her. Watching Jane and Sam
connect was beautiful, tender, and touching.
This was a story about love, self-worth, and
trusting that G-d’s plan often brings people together in the sweetest ways. Characters
from previous books in the series make an appearance, which was a nice way to
catch up with them. I enjoyed how the mystery had twists and turns and an
ending I never saw coming.
