The Amish Secret Wish

GIVEAWAY

HILTON, LAURA V.
THE AMISH SECRET WISH

Can you love someone you've never met?

Waitress Hallie Brunstetter has a secret: she writes a popular column for her Amish paper under the pen name GHB. When Hallie receives a letter from a reader asking to become her pen pal, she reluctantly agrees. She can't help but be drawn to the compassionate stranger, never expecting him to show up in Hidden Springs looking for GHB...or for him to be quite so handsome in real life. But after losing her beau in a tragic accident, Hallie won't risk her heart -- or her secrets -- again.

If Kiah didn't already feel so connected to GHB, Hallie would be a perfect wife -- and it seems most of Hidden Springs's would-be matchmakers agree! Though Hallie is peculiarly opposed to uncovering GHB's true identity, she understands Kiah almost as well as his mystery pen pal. The longer he searches for GHB, the more Kiah finds himself hoping Hallie will be holding the pen that first captured his heart. But will Hallie ever trust Kiah with the truth about her identity...and her feelings for him?

My Review:

Laura V. Hilton delivers another sparkling romance with this third Hidden Springs novel. Part comedy, part drama with more than a hint of spice thrown in because... woohee, there's tons of insta-love lightning bolts zigging and zagging between Hallie and Kiah. Let's just say this is not your grossmammi's usual Amish fiction! :-) Nothing untoward, but you might want to clear off your fainting couch and keep some smelling salts handy 'cause this is definitely a 'kissing book'.

Loved this hero and heroine instantly -- and the muddled mess they make of their relationship/not-a-relationship is both hilarious and touching and mildly exasperating at times! Just the sort of literary fodder to keep me turning pages at a frantic pace. The Amish Secret Wish became a read-in-one-sitting and bask in the afterglow kind of reading adventure for me.

    1. Well, to be fair, Kiah doesn't know Hallie is the letter writing woman he's fallen in love with but Hallie knows Kiah is Kiah...if that makes sense. :-) It's so much fun. Good luck, Trixi!

    Don't you just love the cover! Of course purple is my favorite color but if without the color preference, it's amazing.

  7. I'm always excited to see another Hilton book. So many Amish authors have branched away from Harlequin to other publishers that have opened their door to more inspirational fiction. I love seeing that.

    1. Yes, you can pretty much guarantee that most Amish novels with have an inspirational thread. My library is on a roll when it comes to auto buying anything Amish lately which is really interesting...and gratifying. Good luck, Terrill!
