A forbidden romance always makes for a great book. Instant tension, the reader wants to see this couple beat the odds and come together. Surely nothing can stop them, and yet something almost always does. It is what makes the book stronger and the reader more invested. Fall in love with the characters and you want to see their happily ever after.

If youre a long-time reader of Amish fiction, you know how important their faith is to them. To step out of the bounds of that faith leads to ultimate ex-communication and damaged relationships. And when an Old Order Mennonite woman and an Old Order Amish man fall in loveeverything is going against them.

My only complaint about this novella? I wanted it to be longer. I wanted to spend an entire book watching the love story of Annie and Aden continue to grow and blossom (pun intended) and surmount the inconceivable.

Dont take me wrong, the book was wonderful and complete unto itself, I just loved the plot so much and wanted to know more.

A completely charming read, one I read in one sitting with a sweet couple and a wonderful subplot addition with secondary characters. Itd be great if they got their own story too. Cover to ending: completely lovely!

This review is my honest opinion. I was not obligated to review this novella.
