Amish Protector

GIVEAWAY
PERRY, MARTA
AMISH PROTECTOR

In River Haven, a mysterious visitor brings two lonely hearts together...

Joanne Kohler treasures the independence her Amish quilt shop provides. She rarely leans on others, yet finding an injured woman on her property makes her grateful for the store owner next door, Noah Troyer. Calm and unflappable, Noah offers support. He also points out the strong resemblance between Joanna and the unconscious stranger...

Noah may admire Joanna, but the bishop's daughter is out of reach. Though he's made a good life, Noah still feels shadowed by the shame his father brought on the community. But it's his duty to aid his lovely neighbor, especially when danger draws close. As he and Joanna unearth answers about her past, Noah will have to confront his own if he's to have a chance at building a future with the woman he'll love forever.

My Review:

I shivered with readerly delight right through this compelling second River Haven novel. Perry knows how to spin out a suspense and there's a Gothic-y feel to this one. Eeep! That paired with a complicated Amish romance has  me free-falling into a full swoon. :-)

Love the depth this author brings to her characters and the communities she creates. No worries if you haven't visited River Haven before, Amish Protector reads wunderbaar-gut as a standalone novel too. But if you have, you'll be happy to meet up with some familiar faces. These are real (to me) people with everyday struggles. They may be Amish but that doesn't mean everything in their lives is serene. There are negatives to balance out the positives. Complicated families, enduring friendships wrapped up in a foundation of faith. The stuff that keeps a reader glued to the page.

And the mystery is divine. Eerie and confusing and sometimes sinister. From the hair raising scene where Joanne discovers the injured woman to the breath-snatching reveal-all-ending and everything in between, it's all sheer poetry to a romantic suspense lover like me.
