Happily Ever Amish (The Amish of Apple Creek Book 1) by Shelley Shepard Gray


 

Addie Byler may be Apple Creek’s resident wallflower, but she knows she has a lot to offer—and much to be grateful for. Raised by her loving grandmother, she lives a life filled with good friends and hard work. Wary of romance, Addie assumes no man will look beyond her glasses and her tendency to talk to her rescue donkey, Snickers—until the day she finds a note from a secret admirer. A prank, most likely. But then, a second note arrives . . .
 
It’s not that Daniel Miller doesn’t like Addie, he just doesn’t want to court her. She’s too willful, too chatty, too odd. Yet when he learns she’s been teased because she’s never had a beau, he decides to send a little note of encouragement. One note leads to another. And when Addie begins replying with thoughtful messages of her own, he’s struck by her sweetness and warmth.
 
As chilly winter melts into spring, what began as a gesture of sympathy becomes something much deeper. Daniel fears revealing the truth, but with courage, faith—and a helping hand from their close-knit community—Apple Creek’s most unlikely couple may find their path to happiness.

My Review


 

This was a great read, the page flew, and I wanted to pet the donkey!

The author gives us a young woman, Addie, whose lot in life has not been easy, but she has a big heart! Addie, has been picked on in her Amish Community all of her life! We meet her and see how she is willing to help others, including that poor donkey, but all of a sudden someone else has noticed her. Can she trust a so called Secret Admirer? Or is it another way to make a joke of her?

She also is set to have some more surprises come into her life, and will she be ready for them? How would I feel if I were in her shoes?

You don't want to miss this new new series!

I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Kensington, and was required to give a positive review.
