Her Amish Country Valentine by Patricia Johns is a cute story. I thought the story was well-written with steady pacing. The characters were realistic and developed. My favorite character is Aunt Belinda (she is a hoot) who owns the Butternut Bed and Breakfast. I could understand why Jill and Thom did not want to go to the wedding as singles. I would get tired of being setup by family and friends (and no one wants the pity looks). There are some good life lessons in the story. It gets you to thinking about your life and deciding what is really important. A stubborn donkey name Eeyore had me laughing as well as Jill's matchmaking great-aunt Belinda. How Belinda treats her neighbor is amusing. I think the matchmaker needs a little nudge. The ending left me smiling. Her Amish Country Valentine is the second book in The Butternut Amish B&B series. It can be read as a standalone (but why would you do that). I am looking forward to the next book in this engaging series. Her Amish Country Valentine is a charming tale with a stubborn donkey, a needy neighbor, an Amish aunt, a plan to prevent pity, wedding woes, love troubles, and shifting priorities.
