Publisher Description
Could this bride’s wedding disaster be a blessing in disguise?
Grace Lantz always imagined her wedding day would be a blissfully happy occasion. But after a tornado swept through town, she finds herself relieved that the ceremony is delayed. After all, her groom-to-be hasn’t even bothered to check on her. Instead, it’s the handsome volunteer Zeke Bontrager who selflessly offers Grace his strong shoulders to lean on.
Zeke came to Hidden Springs to assist a community in need. He didn’t expect to meet his soul mate. Determined to ignore his feelings, Zeke promises to help reunite kind, beautiful Grace with her groom. But after spending time together, Grace confesses that she might not want to marry her fiancé after all. Can Zeke convince her that her true love is standing right in front of her? And can she find the courage to follow her heart?

My Review:
As I start this review, let me say this: I very much enjoyed reading this story. Laura V. Hilton has written another excellent Amish romance that has touches of humor, tragedy, romance, and suspense. And yes, even though they don’t seem to go together, all those things do work together well in this storyline. I always love a book that has an unusual plot, and this one certainly has that.
But that’s what makes writing this review a little bit tricky, because there’s a couple of twists in this story that I don’t want to describe, as it will take away from the book as you read it. There’s two storylines that twist together and all the details fall into place at the end. I will tell you this: It does involve a tornado and an Amish wedding and the way life changes in this Amish community from that point. These changes especially impact the character of Grace Lantz, as it involves her wedding day. I loved Grace. She’s kind, loyal, and deeply loves her family. As I read this book, I came to love the whole Lantz family. Daddi Cliff was another favorite character, too.
When you read the book, you’ll understand why I didn’t go into detail with this review. If you love Amish fiction, you’ll enjoy this one.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
