The Heart's Shelter by Amy Clipston

 The Heart's Shelter
Book Summary

Kira has no interest in dating and putting down roots in Pennsylvania—that is, until she finds a kindred spirit in Jayden Bontrager.

Kira Detweiler doesn’t plan to be in Lancaster County for long. She’s left her family in Indiana to help her aunt after the birth of her fourth boppli. Or at least that’s what she tells people. Deep down, she’s trying to escape the heartache of a broken engagement and has no plans to date again anytime soon.

Jayden Bontrager watches his older brothers with admiration, and he prays that someday he’ll have the kind of life they do. Even so, he’s only twenty-three and not in a hurry to marry and start a family. He’s content to watch from the sidelines and is happy to see his brothers enjoying a close relationship once again.

When Jayden and Kira strike up a friendship, they are each drawn to the other’s gentle and humble demeanor, and they feel things for one another unlike anything they’ve felt before. But Kira is torn between her heart and her home. She sees no point in pursuing a relationship with Jayden when she doesn’t plan to put down roots in Pennsylvania. The last thing she needs is another heartbreak.

Will Jayden and Kira be able to overcome the obstacles in their path to find the future they both dream of?

In this fourth and final book of the Amish Legacy Series, readers will find out if the youngest Bontrager brother will get his happily ever after.

My Thoughts

The Heart's Shelter by Amy Clipston is the fourth An Amish Legacy Novel.  We get Jayden’s story in this addition.  I have liked Jayden since the beginning, and I have been looking forward to his tale.  I find Jayden to be a kind man with a good heart.  I thought The Heart’s Shelter was a sweet story, but I found it to be repetitive.  I like the Bontrager family as well as Kira’s aunt.  I had trouble liking Kira.  She is older than Jayden, but he was the more mature person in the relationship.  I did like that Kira and her group of friends did kind deeds for those who were struggling in the community.  I thought the story lacked depth.  The same details are repeated in each chapter.  I liked catching up with the other characters in the series.  I have enjoyed seeing them develop and watching the Bontrager family grow closer.  The Heart’s Shelter can be read as a standalone as the author provided the necessary background information for new readers. 

The Heart's Shelter is available from Amazon*.  You can find the first three An Amish Legacy Novels hereAmy Clipston has the contemporary romance, Finding You coming out July 9.  Thank you for stopping by today and reading my latest book review.  I hope that you have a relaxing weekend.  Take care and Happy Reading.
