A Widow's Hope

GIVEAWAY
CHAPMAN, VANNETTA
A WIDOW'S HOPE

His scars are visible.
Hers are hidden...
And Indiana Amish Brides match

After tragedy claimed her husband's life and her son's ability to walk, Hannah King doesn't want a new man. She has her family, a home and mounting debts. Scarred Amish bachelor Jacob Schrock offers Hannah the job she desperately needs. But while Hannah helps Jacob resolve his accounting issues, can she and her little boy also heal his wounded heart?

My Review:

I've never met a Vannetta Chapman book I didn't love and here we go again with her latest Love Inspired romance -- and can I say how thrilled I am that she's writing for this line now? This is her first book in the Indiana Amish Bride series and I hope there are a whole lot more!

Hannah and Jacob's story is poignant and funny and little bit infuriating...in other words, sweet perfection. Love the contrast of their challenges with Jacob carrying his scars on the outside while Hannah nurses invisible ones. And oh, goodness, but does she ever give him a hard time. She goes into protective mama bear mode a lot. Totally understandable given what she and little Matthew have gone through but she definitely needs a Jacob in her life only he doesn't think he's husband material so....get ready for some angst and laughter and sweet getting-to-know you scenes which often end up with someone storming out of the room. Bwahahaha! This hero and heroine kept this reader on her toes right to the sigh-worthy conclusion!

    I really love that she's writing for Love Inspired! Didn't realize this was her second book, I thought it was her debut. In any case, this is already on my want-to-read list. Don't you just fall in love with that cover?

    Kav, I was busy looking for her 1st Indiana Amish Brides book thinking I missed it, but I'm thinking this one is the first with Amish Christmas Memories being the next in December. I could be wrong, because she's got a long, diverse back list.

    Anyway, I fell in love as soon as I read the book blurb. Oh, how I love a broken, wounded hero. This book is hits all my "reader love" buttons.

      Yep -- you'll definitely be in reader love with this one, Terrill. And you're right -- this is the first book in the series. I'd looked at the front of the book for the series info since they are not so obvious about identifying series on the covers any more and I saw one book listed and just assumed that it was a previous book but it's actually this one. Oops. :-) Good luck, Terrill.

      It's a lovely conundrum though, isn't it? So many books so little time. At least we'll never be bored. Good luck, rubynreba.
