Love's Truest Hope Review and Giveaway!
Mission of Love blurb
A nontraditional Amish man called to minister to the inner-city youth. An overwhelmed Amish woman terrified of the idea. When lies and manipulators threaten to destroy her life, she’s forced outside her comfort zone. Will she learn that God’s love spreads to more than just her people?
Plain Redemption
Spring is a long way in coming to the Big Sky country of Montana, and Lyddie Hershberger is still living in the winter of her life. First her husband died a little more than a year earlier, then Lyddie lost their unborn child. Now, an accident sends her father-in-law to the hospital clinging to his life. Will the gloom of winter ever leave their West Kootenai community?
When word of his daed’s accident reaches Thomas Hershberger in Colorado, he rushes home to find all his old sins waiting for him there, along with the woman who destroyed his heart. His brother’s widow, Lyddie Hershberger.
After someone breaks into the family home while Thomas and Lyddie are at the hospital, it soon becomes apparent that his father’s accident is anything but.
As Lyddie and Thomas struggle to understand why someone wishes their family harm, old feelings of love resurface. Is it possible for Thomas to overcome the guilt he feels for his part in his brother’s death and convince Lyddie that their love can melt any heartache standing in their way?
Bid for Love
The top bidder in the Amish silent auction wins a day of yardwork from Marty and two of his friends. But why did this wealthy Englischer pay so much money when she has a professional lawn service? Marty is shocked to when she offers him money to turn her granddaughter Amish. He refuses, but when Olivia and her grandmother both end up missing, Marty is fingered for the crime. How can he ever prove his innocence when all the clues the police find point to his guilt?
My thoughts: This is such a fun collection of novella's! I enjoyed getting to know each of the characters from the different stories, with their unique stories and personalities.
I enjoyed Lucinda in Mission of Love, a responsible young woman who's sweet personality is noticed by caring Jason. The unexpected twists to the story will keep you reading!
Plain Redemption hits the ground running, with starting at Lyddie's father's-in-law accident and going through the suspense of her being stalked, vandalism, and other episodes that point to the accident being anything but. When you throw her brother-in-law into the mix, the man who's heart she broke, it's the perfect recipe for an excellent story!
Bid for Love was an unexpected mystery about a young man forced in the position to be thought guilty of a crime he didn't commit. I enjoyed the suspense and surprises in this one!
Each of these stories is delightful and hard to put down. I enjoyed each of them tremendously!
I received this book from Celebrate Lit. This is my honest review and is in no way influenced by receiving a complimentary copy.
