PUBLISHER DESCRIPTION
It was only supposed to be a pretend courtship. That was the deal. It hadn’t included a kiss.Amy Troyer was shocked two years ago when her fiancé left her for the Englisch world. But now he’s back, and rumor has it he’s engaged to a woman from another Amish district. With her sister’s upcoming wedding and holiday festivities being planned, the last thing Amy wants is to show up dateless. So, she hatches a plan to not only make her ex jealous, but to silence the pitiful stares from family and friends. But falling in love with her pretend boyfriend hadn’t been part of the plan.At first, Nathaniel Miller balks at the idea of pretending to be Amy Troyer’s significant other, but he admits he’d like to axe his brothers’ teasing. As the two of them get acquainted and spend more time together, though, he finds himself falling for his schweschder’s best friend.Could it possibly be Der Herr—instead of Amy—orchestrating their fake courtship?
My Review:
Sometimes when our plans don’t go exactly as we thought they would…..something unexpected and wonderful happens!
The plan was for Amy Troyer and Nathaniel Miller to have a fake courtship. Amy was desperately trying to show her ex-fiancé, who had left the Amish faith, that she was doing well without him. Nathaniel was tired of his family’s constant remarks about trying to find a wife. So what could work out better than a fake courtship between Amy and Nathaniel?
I enjoyed reading Amy and Nathaniel’s story. Their plans took an unexpected turn, and their journey of learning to place their full confidence in God in times of uncertainty added a theme of faith to the book. I have loved this series, and look forward to reading more from author Jennifer Spredemann.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

ABOUT MY BOOKS…It seems like every series I’ve written has been unique:
AMISH GIRLS SERIES: (co-authored with my daughters) is a fun series set in Pennsylvania, and is geared for teens (although many of my older readers have said they thoroughly enjoyed it!) (8 books + 2 tie-ins)
AMISH BY ACCIDENT TRILOGY: Amish by Accident was originally a stand-alone book (my first book released!) It was SO different (that was my crazy imagination kicking in), I was unsure how readers would respond (or if anyone would even read it, LOL). And then the reviews started coming in! As of today, the book has 700+ Amazon reviews with a 4.5 STAR average! PRAISE THE LORD!!! I ended up writing a sequel and a prequel, thus the trilogy. 🙂 (3 books)
AMISH SECRETS SERIES: Oh, boy! This series tackles some pretty intense topics that you likely won’t read about in your mainstream Amish fiction books. The first book in this series, An Unforgivable Secret is currently FREE in ebook. This was another one that I was unsure how it would resound with readers. It currently has 1500+ Amazon reviews with a 4.5 STAR average! GOD IS GOOD! (7 books)
AMISH FAIRY TALES: (originally ‘FAIRLY’ TALES, on purpose, but not everybody ‘gets’ my twist on words) Basically loose retellings of Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast, Amish-style (2 books, #3 on the backburner)
AMISH BIBLE ROMANCES: the Bible stories of Isaac & Rebekah; Jacob, Rachel, & Leah; Joseph; Ruth; and David loosely told in an Amish context. (5 books so far)
AMISH COUNTRY BRIDES: Sweet faith-filled romances set in Indiana (8 books so far)
STAND-ALONE STORIES: Love Impossible (Amish Dreams) this is kind of a Twilight Zone type of story
UNLIKELY SERIES: Unlikely Santa (An Amish Christmas Story) LOVED writing this one, and its sequel Unlikely Sweethearts.
AMISH COLLABORATIONS: Amish Christmas Miracles Collection, More Amish Christmas Miracles (2021), Amish Spring Romance (2022)
