The View from Coral Cove by Amy Clipston

I should firstly like to say thank you for my ARC of this book. I was not coerced to write a positive review and all opinions expressed are my own. Amy has another huge hit on her hands. She is definitely one of my most favorite authors. Whether she is writing a contemporary romance, an Amish romance or a novella/story in a compilation, she gets to the heart of the matter very early on so she grips me and draws me in from the very first sentence. This was a 5 star read for me, more if I could have given it even more. The characters were believable and I could relate to Brody and Maya both wanting to protect their hearts. Ashlyn was a truly wonderful addition to the book. I would like to be her mom too. I can't imagine any woman who wouldn't want to be. I truly enjoyed welcoming Maya's father into the story and was very delighted how that turned out. Yes, it had the one bad boy but there was nothing attractive to me about this guy and I usually love the bad boys. This was a one sitting read for me and I loved it from the very first word to the very last. Amy thank you for such a wonderful contemporary novel and I can't wait to see where your next book takes us. If you have never read Amy before this is a great one to start with especially if you love beach read romances. For fans of Amy this is another must read. Again, thanks for my ARC and all opinions expressed in this review are my own.

A Perfect Amish Romance by Shelley Shepard Gray

My 5 star review of A Perfect Amish Romance.

This was my first Shelley Shepard Gray book in quite a while and I absolutely loved it and remembered why I enjoy this author so much. This 5 star first book of the Berlin Bookmobile Series hooked me in from the very first sentence and I did not want to put it down. I thought the end came far too soon. I enjoyed the setting, the characters, the charm, the charisma, the plot and they magnificent writing. I felt as if I knew the characters and that I was there in Berlin watching it all come about. If you like Amish romances then I would definitely add this to your must read list. If you have never read an Amish romance this would be a great place to start. You could get a feel for Berlin which is in Ohio by using Google and it will give you a picture to carry in your head as you read the book. Thank you so much Shelley Shepard Gray for such a delightful read and I will definitely be reading the other two in the trilogy.

Finding Her Amish Home by Pamela Desmond Wright

This was another Pamela Desmond Wright book which I again devoured in one sitting and refused to put it down. I should like to thank Pamela for my ARC ebook which I couldn't wait to read. The gorgeous cover only adds to the book and hides the beautifully written words of the story inside. I truly loved meeting the Amish community in Humble Wisconsin and I so look forward to traveling back there in Pamela's next book in this series. I felt that I was there. That I knew these people personally and felt all their emotions with them. Wonderfully realistic characters. Yes, I would like to have friends like the people in this community with a terrific Bishop leading them. He was a good leader, preacher, friend and teacher. Accepting and welcoming the Bishop was one of my favorite characters. Pamela again brought a very real problem to the forefront, that of ADHD. So well researched and so accurate, thank you Pamela for giving us a look into the condition and how it not only affects the person with the condition but also affects those around them...the immediate family, the neighborhood, community etc. Josh and all the youngies stole my heart. If you are a lover of Amish fiction please get acquainted with the Humble community. You will enjoy your visit. If you have never read an Amish fiction book then this would be a great one to start with. It has enough drama, romance, family situations and so much more to keep a reader enthralled from the very first word to the last. Once again a thank you to Pamela Desmond Wright for my ARC copy and I promise this is my own honest thoughts and feelings in this review. I know this is another book I will want to read again and again so thank you Pamela for writing it and allowing me to be a part of your journey.

Pinecreek Marriage by Amity Hope

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Entangled: Amara Publishing for providing me with an ARC of this book in return for an honest review. This is my first Amity Hope book and it was easily 5+ stars for me and definitely will not be my last. The story development, the character development, the twists, the turns, the romance, the drama and so much more made this a book I couldn't stop reading and was so sad when it ended. There was nothing about it that I disliked and everything about it that I loved. Full of hope and inspiration this was a delight to read. If you never have read an Amish fiction book before this would be a perfect first one for you to fall in love with. If you have read Amish fiction then this is totally a must read and I hope you will fall in love with Pine Creek and all its characters as much as I have. Again, my thanks to NetGalley and Entangled:Amara. I so appreciate receiving this and adding Amity Hope to my list of must read Amish authors.

An Amish Flower Farm by Mindy Steele

Firstly, I should like to thank Hallmark Publishing and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of this book in return for an honest review. This is another 5 star success from Mindy Steele who never fails to produce a story that doesn't leave me wanting more. I feel I know all the characters from Havenlee so well that I should like to know more about them. Perhaps Mindy will take us there again in the future. Our main female character is so delightful. She is somebody I would love to see. I can't imagine doing some of the things she did and she didn't think she was brave. Amish flower farms are amazingly beautiful. I remember coming upon one accidentally in Amish Ohio. Exploring the back roads around Berlin and there was this awesome array of color that we got lost in and it turned out to be an Amish flower farm. What a wonderful skill to be able to grow something so beautiful that smells so divine. This book hit the mark with just enough drama, just enough romance, just enough about the Amish culture and just enough of everything in between. If you have never read an Amish fiction book before then this book would be a great introduction to the genre. If you are a fan of the genre then this story by Mindy Steele won't disappoint you. I highly recommend it. Again thank you to Hallmark and NetGalley for my ARC copy and to Mindy for being the amazing writer that she is.
