MY THOUGHTS.....
An Amish bookshop evokes mixed feelings for two old friends in this touching story from author Patricia Johns. It was a special part of Fannie Flaud's growing-up years in Menno Hills, but the owner's son can't wait to get rid of it! Jesse Kauffman plans to sell Kauffman Books, go back to Indiana, and put his haunted past behind him. Unless....Fannie can recruit him to help her avoid the plans of well-meaning matchmakers!
I loved the pretend courtship that slowly blossomed into sweet romance, and Fannie's compassion as she realized that Jesse's youth wasn't as idyllic as hers. Could she help him forgive the father who had hurt him so deeply? Would her plans for the bookshop convince him to stay?
Books and chocolate. Friendship and second chances. An Amish Bookshop Courtship is a perfect choice during this hectic Christmas season! I recommend it to all who enjoy Amish Christian romance.
I received a digital copy from the author. There was no obligation for a positive review.
