On the Golden Cliffs (Big Sky Amish #2) by Tricia Goyer & Christen Krumm

ABOUT THE BOOK

One wrong post has sent influencer Lyla Taylor’s social media empire crashing to her feet. To save it, she’ll have to escape to rural Montana. Six weeks in a high-end spa won’t hurt…except, she’s not booked into a spa, but at a rustic Amish B&B. Suddenly, her roommates are racoons, and her daily activities include hanging laundry. Thanks, but no thanks. Lyla is ready to hit delete and head back to civilization.

Amishman Reuben Milner has a secret…one that could destroy his world. For now, however, he’s kept his life as a novelist under wraps, focusing on providing for his family after the tragic passing of his father. Renting the dawdi house seems the right move—until the wrong woman moves in. However, she comes with ideas to help improve their B&B, and that, along with her feisty personality, is something Reuben can’t ignore. Even if the elders want him to focus on joining the church and finding a wife.

When going home isn’t an option, Lyla decides to help the Milners spruce up their rental. It does help distract her from her problems online. The more Lyla works on the rental with Reuben, the more she wonders if returning to her former life is worth it. However, is it the simple life that Lyla's heart longs for—or a particular guarded Amishman with secrets of his own?

And when those secrets are discovered, what will it cost them both?

MY THOUGHTS.....

Who wouldn't love a vacation in Montana? Lyla Taylor immediately thinks of a beautiful mountain spa and the time to relax, refresh, and unwind. Boy, is she in for a rude awakening! She ends up at an Amish bed and breakfast with limited cell phone service and none of the amenities that she's always been used to. This city gal is ready to go home!

On the Golden Cliffs isn't your normal Amish novel. Yes, Reuben Milner is Amish but he's also a 'wanna-be author' who's been secretly writing a book for the past two years! Will he ever be a published author? Would this even be accepted by his Amish community?

Christen Krumm and Tricia Goyer share a story that illustrates the importance of faith, family, and the ability to adapt but there's also lots of fun along the way! I enjoyed Lyla and Reuben's journey to friendship, but will their budding romance be hindered by their differences? I highly recommend On the Golden Cliffs, and I can't wait to read the third book in the Big Sky Amish Series!

I received a digital ARC of this book from Sunrise Publishing. There was no obligation for a positive review. These are my own thoughts.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
