A review by kerrycat
Amish Brides by Jennifer Beckstrand, Molly Jebber, Amy Lillard
4.0
(I gave this four stars in the June edition of Romantic Times Book Reviews: https://www.rtbookreviews.com/book-review/amish-brides)
These three novellas feature strong heroines and hard-won romances in a variety of circumstances; it’s sure to please readers looking for quick reads with happy endings. Jebber’s story — and heroine — is particularly heartfelt, and her strength of character and faith are truly inspirational.
In Jennifer Beckstrand's “The Reluctant Groom,” Suvie refuses to give up on Aaron, a widower who has lost interest in life as well as love. She’s determined to spark a romance that will create a happy future for both of them. Molly Jebber's "Joshua's Bride" takes place in 19th-century Pennsylvania — Madeline is thrilled when Joshua proposes, but his family’s grudge against hers makes the strain on their relationship more difficult to bear. In Amy Lillard's "A Summer Wedding in Paradise," Reba discovers that Abel is the cause of an unfortunate accident that leaves her with a broken ankle. Her annoyance and his genuine penitence leads him to make it up to her, with surprisingly romantic results.
