The Amish Widower's Surprise (Hickory Springs Amish, #1) by Laurel Blount

The Amish Widower's Surprise: An Uplifting Inspirational Romance (Hickory Springs Amish, 1)
ABOUT THE BOOK

They think they’re done with love…

Will working together change their minds?

All widower Eben Miller wants is someone to help him run his general store, but every Amish woman who applies is more interested in marriage than employment. Falling in love again feels impossible for Eben, who needs a worker, not a wife. Straight-talking Lilah Troyer is different. The spinster gave up on finding a husband a long time ago and is desperate for an income to remain independent. She’s even willing to forget Eben’s humiliating rejection of her back in their youth. It’s the perfect solution, until romance comes knocking on their door…








MY THOUGHTS.....

In the first book of her new series, author Laurel Blount introduces readers to Hickory Springs, and I can't wait to return! Widower Eben Miller has a store in Hickory Springs. Tennessee and Lilah Troyer needs a job. This sounds like a winning combination except for one thing! Eben is determined to keep things as they were when his wife was living and Lilah isn't a typical Amish maiden. She has strong opinions and isn't afraid to share them out loud! Is Lilah Troyer about to turn Eben Miller's life upside down?

I loved this sweet romance that proves that love has no age limits and that opposites attract! There's also the heartwarming addition of two neglected children who need attention and supervision. Will Eben succeed in leaving his past to enjoy his future? Is Lilah the woman who can help him do this?

The Amish Widower's Surprise is a delightful story of hope, faith, and forgiveness, with an epilogue that made me cheer! I recommend it to all who enjoy inspirational Amish fiction.

I received a copy from the author and publisher. There was no obligation for a positive review.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
