Happily Ever Amish

GIVEAWAY

GRAY, SHELLEY SHEPARD

HAPPILY EVER AFTER

Abbie Tyler may be Apple Creek's resident wallflower, but she knows she has a lot to offer -- and much to be grateful for. Raised by her loving grandmother, she lives a life filled with good friends and hard work. Wary of romance, Addie assumes no man will look beyond her glasses and her tendency to talk to her rescue donkey, Snickers -- until the day she finds a note from a secret admirer. A prank, most likely. But then a second note arrives...

It's not that Daniel Miller doesn't like Addie, he just doesn't want to court her. She's too willful, too chatty, too odd. yet when he learns she's been teased because she's never had a beau, he decides to send a little note of encouragement. One note leads to another. And when Addie begins replying with thoughtful messages of her own, he's struck by her sweetness and warmth.

As chilly winter melts into spring, what began as a gesture of sympathy becomes something much deeper. Daniel fears revealing the truth, but with courage, faith -- and a helping hand from their close-knit community -- Apple Creek's most unlikely couple may find their path to happiness.

My Review:

Happy Sigh. A new Amish series from Shelley Shepard Gray is always something to get excited about and The Amish of Apple Creek promises to be another memorable one. 

Love the way the author has set the series up -- I'm guessing that Daniel's bachelor friends are going to get their own stories in the near future. But I also really loved the soul-searching in this first book. And not just with Addie and Daniel, but his friends as well. It makes for a wonderful springboard for future adventures among the set.

Addie is misunderstood, partly due to malicious gossip but also because she's resigned to be overlooked. She suffers in silence as the confirmed outsider and pours her heart into serving her ailing grandmother and the people she works for. Her best friend is a donkey named Snickers! His story is fabulous so I won't give anything away except to say that he's the epitome of true friendship. :-)

Daniel's the kind of guy who goes with the flow. He's never been mean to Addie but he never speaks up against the gossip either...until one day he notices her standing all alone in a crowd and starts to wonder. So he sends her a secret admirer note. What follows is heartwarming and heartbreaking and funny and sweet and everything in between. And so much more! 

So excited for this new series by a much loved author of Amish Romance.
