To most townsfolk, he's
known simply as The Beast. Annabelle Beiler has little interest in
gossip, but she's heard about Adam Herschberger's scars and his gruff,
solitary ways. Though he sounds like a character from one of Belle's
treasured books, the man is real and, it turns out, just as unreasonable
as the rumors claim. When a buggy accident wipes out the last of her daed's
money, forcing him to sell their farm, Adam buys it. Then he offers
Belle a deal--marry him, and her family can keep their home.
Everyone is shocked by Belle's decision, but she's determined to be a good fraa, cleaning Adam's rundown house and tending the overgrown garden. Breaking through her new husband's icy reserve will be another matter. Belle's courage and strength are abundant, but it will take true faith to guide Adam back to the heart of his Amish community--and to the loving marriage they both deserve.

Sarah Price helps us understand that people are fallen, and being a member of a religious community, does not guarantee that they all live their faith.
Surprises abound as Belle begins her journey to become Adam’s fraa, from her childhood home to her new married abode, and yes we get to see these through her eyes. You will soon be sweeping and cleaning before you can even move in, and then what, delightful, and yet serious at the same time.
From the first to the last page it becomes a quick page-turner, and you will be captured in the retelling of this great tale, and then you will be teased into waiting for the next.
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Kensington Books, and was not required to give a positive review.
