The Amish Cooking Class - The Seekers Wanda E. Brunstetter

Description:
Will Heidi's cooking lessons turn into life lessons for five unlikely students?

Heidi Troyer cooks up the idea of teaching classes in the art of Amish cuisine in her Holmes County, Ohio, home. But is it a recipe for drama when five very different men and women answer the advertisement?

Join a class of unlikely Ohioans who take cooking lessons at Lyle and Heidi Troyer’s Amish farm. A woman engaged to marry, an expectant mother estranged from her family, a widowed mom seeking to simplify, a Vietnam vet who camps on the Troyer’s farm, and an Amish widower make up the mismatched lot of students.

Class members share details of their disappointing lives, work to solve a mystery, and stir some romance into the pot. Soon Heidi’s cooking lessons turn into life lessons as they each share their challenges. . .and their souls are healed one meal at a time. Is this what God had in mind when Heidi got the idea for cooking classes?

My thoughts on the book:

I really enjoyed this book, I really enjoyed that it was not really a romance book but had romance in it, almost gave a twist to love story. I loved how the author took a group of misfits in one way or another and brought them together of a cook class. I loved how she shared each person story even though it seems that the main character was Heidi, it felt like they all could be the main character and they brought a lot to the story. I really enjoyed the storyline it was easy to follow with so many fun characters. The book seemed to have some twist and surprises to it as well which was a fun element to the story. The end of the story was a total surprise and I can't wait to read more about these fun characters I really hope there is more to come. If you are looking for a good clean fun amish book or for that matter a good book grab this one it will so be worth it.

Restoring Love Jennifer Slattery

Description:

Mitch, a contractor and house-flipper, is restoring a beautiful old house in an idyllic Midwestern neighborhood. Angela, a woman filled with regrets and recently transplanted to his area, is anything but idyllic. She's almost his worst nightmare, and she s also working on restoring something herself. As he struggles to keep his business afloat and she works to overcome mistakes of her past, these two unlikely friends soon discover they have something unexpected in common, a young mom who is fighting to give her children a better life after her husband's incarceration. While both Mitch and Angela are drawn to help this young mother survive, they also find themselves drawn to each other. Will a lifetime of regrets hold them back or unite them and bring redemption along with true love?

Restoring Love, part of New Hope Publishers' line of contemporary missional fiction, demonstrates how God can turn our greatest tragedies and failures into beautiful acts of love and grace that can impact the lives of others. Readers will connect with the realistic characters and find they can relate to the complex situations that makes Jennifer Slattery's book so appealing. Readers will be inspired to see how God wants to use us to restore people's perception of love in action.

My thoughts on the book:

This story is not your typical love story, this story is a story of love for neighbors who seem down and out, for kid who just don't seem to fit, for a child who's choices are destroying those around him and himself, for the broken women who seemed to have screw up her life and she it set to fix it, and for the man who has a big heart but need to work on a few things as well. I truly enjoyed this book, I really loved how with the topics that were dealt with in this book this biggest thing was grace and forgiveness. I really enjoyed how the author did a good job and talking through some tough things with the characters. I think the only thing I really hoped was that there was one relationship i hoped would go different but who know maybe the author is writing more. There is a romance in this story to, please don't get me wrong, and it seemed to flow and work with the story line very authentic. Seriously you can not go wrong with this book the perfect clean read that I had a hard time putting down. I can't wait to read more from Jennifer. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did.

Happy Ever After in Christmas Debbie Mason

What's the book about:
It's beginning to look a lot like love . . .

As her thirtieth birthday approaches, deputy Jill Flaherty decides it's time to live a little. When she walks into Sawyer Anderson's bar in her sexiest dress, she's not thinking that he's her brother's best friend or about the many women he dated during his years as a pro hockey player. All she's thinking is that it's finally time to confess to her longtime crush how she truly feels.

Sawyer is done being a player on and off the ice. Yet no one in the small town of Christmas seems to believe he's ready to settle down, not Jill, and certainly not Jack, who is determined to keep Sawyer from breaking his little sister's heart. But as Sawyer and Jill's relationship heats up, can he prove that he's her happy ever after?

My thoughts on the book:

Jill is getting ready for her 30th birthday and it ready to make some big changes in her life. Her friends encourage her to make a vision board and to place all her goals onto it. She wants what everyone around her has a family of her own an husband a good job and most of all a baby. But she wonder if she ever going to be good enough to find that person, she has had her eyes on one person and knows theres no way that is going to happen so when she sets out to find someone she realizes its not as easy as it seems. Sawyer is at a place in his life where he is ready to settle down but being in his home town and being known as a player is not always easy in the search to find MRS. right. His best friend doesn't think he's good enough for his sister Jill and Sawyer wants to see if there is something there. But will Sawyer be able to convince Jack and Jill that his heart is in the right place and he does want happily ever after or will he blow it big time and loose them both?
I really, really enjoyed this book I enjoyed I loved the heart of the story and the author does an amazing way of drawing you in and makes you feel like your more part of the story then just reading the story. There is a part in the book without giving anything away, the situation is so emotional and the raw emotions of the situations are captured so well by the author and put on to paper to just jump out to the reader. I fell in love with Nell she has away of staying in the back ground but letting her presence be known. There are some adult situations in the book as well as strong language so this book is not suitable for all readers. I would highly recommend this book to my friends this book is so well worth the read and the purchase.
