"Patricia writes with heart, integrity and hope. Her stories both entertain and edify--the perfect combination." --Kim Vogel Sawyer, award-winning and bestselling author In this close-knit Amish community, she'll hide in plain sight... Pregnant and desperate, Victoria Worthington runs to the only place that's ever felt safe. For years she's been controlled, first by her crime-boss father, then by her ex-boyfriend. Donning a hand-sewn dress, a kapp and a new name, she escapes as Abby Martin to the Amish community of Harts Haven, where she spent happy summers with her grandparents. Taking a job as a maid at the local inn, Abby plans to repair her grandparents' abandoned house and build a new life for her baby. Since a tragedy took his family, contractor Joseph Troyer has traveled from one Amish town to another, refusing to let anyone get close. Not that it stops the inn's elderly, eccentric owner, Rose, from doing some matchmaking while Joe renovates her kitchen. Though Abby is more outspoken than any Amish woman he knows, something draws him to her--and to the secrets she's hiding. Taken under Rose's wing, Abby begins to find her place at last. But even here there's no hiding from the past. Only by facing it with courage, faith and the unexpected gift of love can this haven become the home she's longed for. The Matchmakers of Harts HavenBook 1: The Inn at Harts Haven
This is an Amish Romantic Suspense, and this is the first book in The Matchmakers of Harts Haven series. I love the mix of Amish, Romance, and Suspense in this book. There are some really great and funny characters in this book. There was a twist at the ending of this book, but I did guess it. I love how the ending unfolded. The romance was cute and sweet. The suspense in this book was light, but it was through out the book. I really enjoyed the characters in this book and watching the two main characters slowly opening up to each other. I got pulled into this story, and I could not put it down. I stayed up late to finish this book. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
