My Thoughts

The Unexpected Caller by Shelley Shepard Gray is a charming and heartwarming debut for The Amish Widows Club series. I truly enjoyed getting to know Leanna Mast, along with Evan Keim and his family. Evan’s son, Jeremy, quickly became a favorite of mine. Though he is only seventeen, he offers wise advice, shows remarkable kindness, and has such a big heart. Leanna’s puppy, Bumble, is an adorable addition who brings extra sweetness to the story. I also loved the idea of the Amish Widows Club itself. It is a wonderful way for widowed women to find companionship, receive help when they need it, meet new people, and step into fresh adventures. 

Shelley Shepard Gray’s engaging writing style pulled me easily into the story, and I appreciated the gentle humor sprinkled throughout. The epilogue was especially satisfying, wrapping things up in a lovely and thoughtful way. Faith is beautifully woven throughout the novel, adding depth and encouragement. My favorite quote is, “. . . I know that the Lord had already determined our futures. Because, one way or another, the Lord always provides, Jeremy. He holds us in His arms and guides our futures. That is how it is. It is how it will always be.” I am already looking forward to the next The Amish Widows Club novel, which will feature Jenna. This is the kind of story that leaves you smiling, uplifted, and eager to return to this wonderful circle of friends.

D is for Daisy by Shelley Shepard Gray

  is for Daisy

Book Summary

Newcomers are always welcome in the rural Amish community of Walden, Ohio, but in this heartwarming inspirational romance from beloved New York Times bestselling and award-winning author Shelley Shepard Gray, a 50-something couple planning for early retirement learn even the simple life can sometimes be complicated. For fans of Beverly Lewis, Amy Clipston, and Charlotte Hubbard—and anyone who enjoys wholesome, uplifting stories about faith, family, and love.

Early retirement never sounded so good to Mervin and Ruthie Miller. After a lifetime in Millersburg, where Mervin worked at a furniture and shed factory and Ruthie helped out at a fabric store, they have exciting plans: They’re going to become “Amish Gentlemen Farmers.” That means buying a 30-acre, ramshackle farm, and all that comes with it—no matter what their grown children, friends, and aching muscles think . . .
Aaron Miller is worried about his parents, but there’s little he can do now that he lives in Kentucky and has a baby on the way. Then his childhood best friend, Kyle Burkholder, makes a heaven-sent offer: he’ll move in with Aaron’s parents to teach them about raising cows and chickens, and even give weekly reports to Aaron.

The arrangement is going well—until Kyle stumbles upon Daisy Lapp who’s just been in a bicycle accident. When he visits her in the hospital, he knows there’s something special between them. So does Daisy. But her something special is the fact that Kyle lives on the farm she’d always dreamed of buying one day. She knows it’s wrong, but she’s jealous. She wants nothing to do with Kyle and politely tells him so.

Still, like the Millers, Kyle’s not one to give up easily. Not on himself, not on the farm, and certainly not on Daisy. With dedication and a leap of faith, the lives they envisioned just might come true . . .

My Thoughts

D is for Daisy by Shelley Shepard Gray is a charming and heartwarming Amish story with delightful characters and an uplifting message. Daisy quickly won me over with her lively spirit and unconventional ways. Unlike many Amish women, she feels most at home in the barn rather than in the house, and her deep love for animals makes her especially endearing. Kyle is a wonderful match for her, and I enjoyed watching their story unfold. I also found Kyle’s bosses, Mr. and Mrs. Miller, to be entertaining additions to the story as they enthusiastically buy a farm without having any real idea how to run one. Their situation adds humor and warmth to the book. 

This sweet story blends hope, friendship, family, romance, and faith in a way that feels sincere and encouraging. Although D is for Daisy is the fourth book in the Amish ABC’s series, it can easily be read as a standalone. With its lovable characters, gentle humor, and heartfelt message, D is for Daisy is a sweet Amish romance that blooms with hope from beginning to end.

D is for Daisy comes out June 30 and it can be preordered from Amazon. You can find the first three books in the Amish ABCs series here.  The fifth book in the Amish ABC series will be E is for Englischer which will be out on November 24.  You can follow Shelley Shepard Gray to get notified when she has a new book release and take a moment to check out the rest of her delightful books.  

I will return on Tuesday, June 30 when I am a stop on the Celebrate Lit Blog Tour for Miriam's Little Gentleman by Anne Blackburne. May your day be filled with laughter and love.  Take care and Happy Reading!

Unshaken by Shelley Shepard Gray

Unshaken by Shelley Shepard Gray
Book Summary

He helps her hide until danger has passed. She hopes her cover lasts long enough.

When Stephanie Miller planned her visit to a dollar store in southern Ohio, she was expecting to pick up a few items she couldn't find in her Amish community. She was not expecting to find herself an innocent bystander as a drug deal went horribly wrong. The sole witness to a murder, now Stephanie is targeted by the gunman.

Hardy Anderson is always ready to help his social worker sister, Bev--which now includes hiding an Amish woman until a killer can be brought to justice. Surely if they dress her in English clothing, Hardy can hide her at the sprawling ranch where he works. But the killer is desperate--and there's no telling what lengths he will go.

My Thoughts

Unshaken by Shelley Shepard Gray captured my attention right away.  I felt for Stephanie who is scared and on the run after witnessing a murder.  Hardy is a sweet guy, but he is protective of Stephanie.  Hardy’s sister asked him to keep Stephanie safe, and he takes this task seriously.  I also liked Hardy’s sister, Bev and his boss, Carter.  The author’s picturesque descriptions allowed me to envision the setting.  I enjoyed the suspense and action which had me quickly turning the pages to see what would happen next.  I like the thread of faith that was stitched through the story.  I loved the epilogue which nicely wrapped up the story. I closed the book with a happy sigh and a satisfied smile on my face. Unshaken has a well-crafted plot that blends suspense, romance, and faith along with great characters into one gripping tale. 

Unshaken is available from Amazon.  If you like Unshaken, you should check out Unforgiven and Unforgotten.  You can find Shelley Shepard Gray's other books here.  I hope that everyone had a great weekend.  I had a productive one.  I am determined to get chores that I have been putting off completed.  Thanks to my neighbor's across the street, the ugly ramp that led to my Florida room is gone (I was trying to get the task done on my home, but it was slow going--I have blisters to show for my troubles).  I had a new clothes dryer installed yesterday and I just love it.  I finally have a dryer that will not eat my clothes or take them hostage (I think it enjoyed watching me hunt for my missing socks and washclothes).  Tomorrow I am a stop on the Great Escapes Virtual Book Tours for A Whale of a Crime by Mona Marple.  I hope that you have a beautiful day.   Take care and Happy Reading!

Their Surprise Reunion by Shelley Shepard Gray

 Their Surprise Reunion

Book Summary

Friendship can turn to more…

When you least expect it!

Kayla Harding knew she’d reached rock bottom when she forced herself to walk through the front doors of Loaves of Love, the food bank in Medina, Ohio, one Saturday morning. Happily, what she finds there is a loving community of people who offer her not just food, but friendship and hope. She also finds Sean Copeland, a former crush, father to six-year-old Jackson and small-town football coach, who volunteers at the food bank. But Kayla is still reeling from her divorce, and Sean is a recent widower. Can they find it in their hearts to fall in love again?

My Thoughts

Their Surprise Reunion by Shelley Shepherd Gray is a sweet story.  I enjoyed getting to know Kayla, Sean, and Jackson.  We get to meet some delightful characters including Edna who runs Loaves of Love, a local food bank.   I think that it is a wonderful organization, and I wish there were one in every city.  I like the growth we get to see in the characters, especially Kayla.  Sean’s son, Jackson is a sweetheart, and he adds humor to the story.  I enjoyed this heartwarming story.  I finished Their Surprise Reunion with a smile on my face.  I am looking forward to the next A Matchmaker Knows Best Romance. Their Surprise Reunion is an uplifting tale with a helpful food bank, an understanding soul, a thoughtful teacher, a caring child, baking bread, an intimidating manager, a shameful secret, and a hopeful future.

Their Surprise Reunion is available from Amazon as well as other major booksellers including Walmart.  The next book in A Matchmaker Knows Best Romance series is Christmas Promises which will be out on October 28 and it is available for preorder.  You can find Shelley Shepard Gray's other novels here.  Thank you for popping by today.  I will return on Tuesday, May 6 with Ruth's Amish Words of Faith by Tracy Fredrychowski.  It is the seventh book in The Amish Women of Lawrence County series.  I hope that you have a tranquil weekend.  Take care and Happy Reading!

B is for Bonnet by Shelley Shepard Gray

 B is for Bonnet

Book Summary

The second in this delightfully moving new series from beloved, New York Times bestselling author Shelley Shepard Gray continues the story of four English-raised siblings who return to their grandparents' Ohio community planning to become Amish. But one by one, they will soon learn more about living—and love—than they'd ever imagined . . .

Exploring the relationship between Amish and English cultures through the lens of a single family, the Amish Again series is perfect for fans of Beverly Lewis, Amy Clipston, and Charlotte Hubbardand anyone who enjoys uplifting stories about faith, family, love, and the simple life.

Raised by their divorced, lapsed-Amish father and English mother, siblings Jonny, Martin, Kelsey, and Beth can't wait to reinvent their lives. The four don't have much in common, but they long for the stable sense of family they felt when visiting their New Order grandparents, Josiah and Sylvia Schrock, in peaceful Holmes County, Ohio. And the Schrocks couldn't be more surprised when the grandkids want to try living with them—and joining their faith . . .
When Jonny hears startling news about his health, he knows it's past time to change his life. Quitting college, he unexpectedly finds the fulfilling job of his dreams. And he's instantly smitten with cafe owner Treva Kramer, whose baked goods are as warm and delicious as her lively personality. But no matter how hard Jonny tries, he can't seem to get past her secret sadness and distrust. Can he prove that his feelings for her are for real—and forever—in time?

A bad breakup left Treva heartbroken—and resolved to be independent without relying on anyone ever again. Exhausted from pouring everything she's got into her cafe, she’s stunned by Jonny’s easygoing ways—and drawn to his optimistic nature. But when she thinks his real interest is in becoming Amish, she's even more determined to stay focused—and keep her heart safe . . .
Soon, deep secrets and hidden family truths will test Jonny and Treva in unexpected ways. And with help from his warm-hearted grandparents, he and Treva might gain the happiness they secretly long for—with each other.

My Thoughts

B is for Bonnet by Shelley Shepard Gray is a story about Jonny Schrock who is straddling two worlds.  Jonny is trying to decide whether or not to become Amish when he has a health scare.  B is for Bonnet is an easy story to read.  The point-of-view switches between various characters including Jonny and Treva Kramer, a woman who, with the help of her family, turned the barn into a coffee shop (Trailside Café) with delectable baked goods.  We also get to spend time with Matt Schrock, Johnny’s father and Kennedy, his new love interest.  I like that we get to catch up with Johnny’s siblings and his grandparents (Jonny’s grandparents are sweet, kind, and patient).  It was interesting learning about e-bikes and that the Amish have taken to using them as a mode of transportation.  I had no idea that a well-known motorcycle company now produces electric bicycles.  

Harley Davidson Electric Bikes

The romance between Treva and Jonny progresses slowly until the end when it was rushed.  I am glad that we got to meet Jonny’s mother, and I hope we get to know her better in the next installment in the series. Forgiveness is one of the messages in the story.  Sometimes the one that needs forgiveness the most is yourself.  While B is for Bonnet is the second book in the Amish ABCs series, it can be read as a standalone. I am looking forward to reading C is for Courting when it comes out.  B is for Bonnet is a sweet story with delectable coffee, a cholesterol scare, a hurt heart, parent problems, bossy siblings, great grandparents, and a benevolent bishop.

B is for Bonnet is available from Amazon.  The first book in the Amish ABCs series is A is for Amish (can read for free with Kindle Unlimited subscription).  The next book in the series is C is for Courting.  Shelley Shepard Gray has Their Surprise Reunion coming out on April 29 and Unshaken on June 3.  Christmas Promises releases on October 28 (just in time to get you in the mood for Christmas).  You can fnd Shelley Shepard Gray's other novels here.  Thank you for dropping by today (I really do appreciate it). On Tuesday, January 28, I am featuring With All Her Heart by Kelly Irvin.  It is the third book in the Amish Calling series.  It has been a cold week in my area of Florida (Tampa Bay area).  I actually had to use my electric blanket and dig into the recesses of my closet for cold weather clothing (I have not needed them in a couple of years).  I will need to update my winter wardrobe next fall.  The best thing about cold weather is snuggling under the covers and reading (too cold to do anything else).  I hope that you have a relaxing weekend.  Take care, stay warm, and Happy Reading!

Unforgiven by Shelley Shepard Gray

Unforgiven

Book Summary

Ex-con Seth Zimmerman has spent the last three years making amends by helping the vulnerable in his former Amish community. Lately, this mission includes calling on Tabitha Yoder, whose divorce from her abusive husband has isolated her from the community. Even though she never comes out of her house to talk to him, Seth knows she watches him from the window while he chops wood, clears her driveway, and drops off food.  
 
An uneasy friendship is just starting to take hold between them when small gifts begin to appear at Tabitha's home--gifts that can only be from her ex-husband. Seth might be Tabitha's only hope at maintaining her hard-won freedom from the man whose violent outbursts had almost cost her life. But coming to her rescue might mean he ends up behind bars once again.  
 
Get swept up in this emotional story of two outcasts who may be each other's only hope for happiness and redemption from New York Times bestselling author Shelley Shepard Gray.

My Thoughts

Unforgiven by Shelley Shepard Gray is a story that draws you in.  It starts off slow, but it arouses your curiosity about Seth Zimmerman and Tabitha Yoder.  The story is well-written.  The characters are developed and realistic.  The secondary characters add additional depth to the story.  Seth’s sister, Melonie added humor.  She is a nosy parker. Unforgiven is an emotional tale (have a box of tissues nearby).  Seth and Tabitha have both faced challenges.  Tabitha is on edge wondering if the danger from her past has found her.  The main themes in Unforgiven are trust, guilt, and forgiveness.  It is hard to trust after you have been severely hurt.  Time and patience are required by both parties.  It is hard to forgive someone that has wronged you (I struggle with this one myself) and it is even more challenging to forgive yourself.  Of course, God is always ready to forgive us (we just have to ask).  The story reminds us that that God is always with us (we are not alone).  Unforgiven is one of those stories that will linger with you long after you finish it.  

Unforgiven is available from Amazon*.  Shelley Shepard Gray has A is for Amish coming out June 25.  It is the first book in the Amish ABCs series.  You can find Shelley Shepard Gray's other novels here.  Thank you for popping by today.  Tomorrow I am sharing my thoughts on Cold Case Investigation by Nicole Helm.  It is the third book in the Hudson Sibling Solutions series.  I wanted to mention that Shielding the Innocent Target by Terri Reed is now available.  It is a fast paced, engaging story.  I hope that you have a day filled with joy.  Take care and Happy Reading!

Her Secret Hope by Shelley Shepard Gray

Her Secret Hope
Book Summary

Almost two years after Lilly Kurtz first traveled to Pinecraft, Florida, with friends, she's decided to make a fresh start there. She's ready to be new-and-improved Lilly, a Lilly without a past, a Lilly with no secrets. At first, everything goes well. She gets a job, her coworkers feel like family, and she enjoys reconnecting with her friends. But it turns out the past is reluctant to be left behind.

When Lilly meets hardworking farmer Eddie Byler, she can't get him off of her mind. But then she discovers that Eddie actually lives just a few miles from her hometown in Ohio. Lilly knows that he's not going to like it when he finds out what secrets she's been running from. And she knows she could never follow the man she's falling in love with back to a place where she's never felt accepted.

Will Lilly have to give up on love in order to find peace? Or could it be that love is actually the solution to all of her problems?
Siesta Key is a beach that Lilly visits (it is my favorite beach)
My Thoughts

Her Secret Hope by Shelley Shepard Gray has Lilly Kurtz returning to Pinecraft for a fresh start. It has been two years since her first visit to the unique Amish and Mennonite town.  Lilly was adopted as a baby and her family never kept it a secret.  Actually, it seems one of the first things Mrs. Kurtz’s tells people (heavens knows why).  Lilly also did not feel accepted by the children at school.  Mary Margaret, Betsy, and Esther are the first true friends Lilly had had in her life.  I know what it is like to feel that you do not fit in and to have people judge you.  Lilly may be in a new city, but she has still has to learn to let people get to know her.  It seems that Lilly keeps a protective a shield around her.  The characters are realistic and developed.  I like that we get to catch up with Mary Margaret, Betsy, Esther, and their husbands.  

Lilly gets a job at bed and breakfast that is run by Nancy (the place the young women stayed on their first visit to Pinecraft).  I like that we get to catch up with Nancy and her friendly chef.  Lilly may believe that she is destined to remain single, but it seems God has other plans for her.  Of course, Lilly needs to be willing to let down her barriers and be happy with who she is.  I just love November Byler.  She is a spirited character.  I hope I am as lively and quick witted at that age.  I did feel that the story moved a little slow in places and there was a repetition of details.  The author captured Pinecraft and Siesta Key.  I understood why Lilly liked going to Siesta Key beach, it is a beautiful beach (it is my favorite beach).  Her Secret Hope is the third and final book in A Season in Pinecraft series.  It can be read as a standalone, but I recommend reading the series in order.  It will allow you to get to know the characters and their stories.  There are good life lessons in Her Secret Hope including that God is in control.  Her Secret Hope is a touching tale with a returning friend, a spirited grandmother, a bored farmer, a flirtatious chef, an alarming allegation, and a gracious God.

Her Secret Hope can be ordered through Amazon*.  The first two books in A Season in Pinecraft series are Her Heart's Desire and Her Only Wish.  Shelley Shepard Gray will have A is for Amish out on May 21, 2024.  It is the debut of the Amish ABCs series.  You can follow Shelley Shepard Gray on Amazon and they will send you an email when she has  new book release.  I appreciate you joining me today.  Due to health issues, I am taking some time off.  I will return on November 30 as a stop on the Great Escapes Virtual Book Tours for Christmas in the Crosshairs by Deena Alexander.  I am taking a little extra time off for health reasons.  I hope that you have a relaxing weekend.  Take care and Happy Reading!

Her Only Wish by Shelley Shepard Gray

 Her Only Wish

Book Summary

Return to Pinecraft, Florida, for a Sweet Amish Romance

Sheltered yet adventurous, Betsy Detweiler is on a mission to get out of Kentucky and experience new things in life. She's got a list--a life list. What better place to start than with her friends in beautiful Pinecraft, Florida?

From the moment Betsy walks into the Snow Bird Golf Course to sign up for lessons, August Troyer is mesmerized. Betsy is a mass of contradictions--beautiful yet awkward, outgoing yet unsure, joyful yet hesitant. She's like no one he's ever met before, and as the only child of missionary parents, he's met a 
lot of people.

As Betsy and August embark on a month of enjoying life to the fullest, they'll encounter several reasons to back off and play it safe. But playing it safe has its own consequences. This tender romance reminds us that life--and love--requires a fair amount of risk.

My Thoughts

Her Only Wish by Shelley Shepard Gray takes us back to Pinecraft, Florida.  Betsy Detweiler is returning with a list that she wishes to complete during her monthlong visit.  She calls it a life list.  Health issues as a child have prevented Betsy from doing normal child and teen activities.   Asthma does prevent you from doing normal physical activities, especially if you live in colder climates (I know from experience).  I thought Betsy was brave to try new activities.  It is not something that comes easy to people who are shy or who have been ill.  I enjoyed getting to know Betsy.  She meets some good people who help her complete her list.  Betsy encounters August Troyer at the Snow Bird Golf Course which is an Amish owned golf course.  August is smitten with Betsy from the very beginning.  August is lucky to have such a loving and caring aunt and uncle.  August’s parents are dedicated to their mission work but for the wrong reasons.  They acted like children at times instead of adults.  Betsy makes a difference in the lives of those she meets.  An example is Annie and Danielle who help Betsy learn to swim.  It gets you to think about your own life list.  

We also get to see that while you may want to learn an activity, you may not be good at that activity.  It is amazing to see what determination and hard work can do.  I enjoyed the beautiful descriptions of Pinecraft and nearby beaches (Siesta Key is my favorite beach).   I am looking forward to reading Lilly Kurtz’s story in Her Secret HopeHer Only Wish is the second book in A Season in Pinecraft series.  While Her Only Wish can be read as a standalone, I recommend reading Her Heart’s Desire.   I like that we get to catch up with Mary Margaret and Jayson from Her Heart's Desire.   Her Only Wish is an uplifting Amish tale with a thoughtful friend, golf lessons, beautiful beaches, protective parents, swimming sisters, and a life list.

Her Only Wish is available from Amazon*.  The first book in A Season in Pinecraft series is Her Heart's DesireHer Secret Hope will be out November 7.  It is the third book in A Season in Pinecraft series.  Shelley Shepard Gray has Amish Fugitive coming out July 25.  It is a Love Inspired Cold Case.  On September 26, An Amish Cinderella releases.  It is the third book in The Amish of Apple Creek.  You can find Shelley Shepard Gray's other book here.  Thank you for stopping by today.  Tomorrow I will be sharing my thoughts on Death Knells and Wedding Bells by Eva Gates.  It is the tenth A Lighthouse Library Mystery.  I hope that you have a fulfilling day.  Take care and Happy Reading!
