His Risk: The Amish of Hart County by Shelley Shepard Gray

Calvin Fisher is the brother to Mark, whose story is book 2 in this series (His Guilt). Although the characters in Hart County all tie together, each book can be read as a stand alone.

Calvin begrudgingly returns to his hometown because his brother is very sick. Being home and around old neighbors brings back all the feelings and bad memories of the past. Calvin is no longer Amish, has a questionable past, and his current job could endanger those around him if the wrong people find him in Hart County. After meeting local school teacher Alice; Calvin is torn between trying to be honest to his family and friends versus keeping his word and loyalty to his Boss.

This story has great characters and a good, steady plot which kept my interest from beginning to end. I have read all the books in this series and really like this suspenseful, clean, Amish fiction series. “Her Fear” (The Amish of Hart County #5) will be released in July-I can’t wait!

I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.

Where I Belong (Pine Valley Book #2) by Heather B. Moore Book

I am loving this clean women’s fiction series by Heather Moore! I have read book 1 and now 2 in this series but they are stand alone books so it’s not necessary to read them in order.

I really liked the character Jane in this book. Sweet, patient (especially with her parents!) and just an overall great person. I also liked Cameron-dependable, hard working, loyal…however, I felt he moved way too fast in both of his relationships in this book.

This story had a good steady pace. I read it in one sitting since it was a fast read. Just like real life; at times this story got complicated and messy, but I was happy how things turned out. I can’t wait to read book 3!

Clean romance meaning no explicit romantic scenes but there is at least 1 swear word and implied premarital sexual relationships.

“You Are More Than Enough—You Are Magnificent” by Ganel-Lyn Condie

The author begins the book by explaining that she was prompted to let the daughters of God know “that are really more than enough. Enough as mothers, wives, women, daughters and friends. Women have enough love, faith, strength, and kindness inside of them to be what they have been called to be.”

“God knows each of us perfectly, with all our strength and struggles.”

This book covers topics like love, beauty, grace, kindness, faith, patience; to name a few. The author shares stories, scriptures and quotes through out the book. This little book is a great quick read since any chapter can be read at any time.

The authors hope is that you “see and feel truth break through the lies of the adversary. In your imperfections, your sinking, your failing, and your reaching up again, believe that you will make it”

I loved that at the end of every chapter was “The Takeaway” section. This book was very inspiring and gave me hope and guidance.
