I wanted to see what "bonnet rippers" were all about. This was definitely not a bonnet ripper.
I was expecting a sweet, but chaste love story between an Amish man and an Amish woman. I read the reviews and was expecting the cover, a "bodice ripper," to be misleading. Was I wrong!
I am by no means a prude but this story was actually quite disturbing to me. Premarital sex, marital infidelity with a man's sister-in-law is quite detailed and not unfrequent, and most of the community seems to turn a blind eye because of the history between the main characters and their families.
It just doesn't seem a plausible story as written and I was disappointed. I will have to search again for a true "bonnet ripper."
