My Review:
Katie is terribly shy and the fact that she is a twenty-one year old woman without a beau or a promised engagement doesn't really sit well with her. But what is she going to do about it? She and Micah have always seem to gravitate towards each other but she never would make that final step towards something more permanent. Just when I thought okay, this will be your typical Amish romance things started to twist and turn beyond my wildest expectations.
Soon Katie is taken an a total about face, way beyond her incredibly shy existence. She soon starts working in a bed and breakfast where she is somewhat forced to conquer her shyness but so much more takes place. And as if that wasn't enough the new guy in town, Abram is not only turning all the young girls' heads in town but he is also running from something. But what?
This book is a real page turner for sure. You will be kept guessing from one page to the next. I had to keep reading once I discovered this, just so I could see how it all ended. Brilliant book, I loved it!
