A Plain & Simple Heart By Virginia Smith and Lori Copeland Review and Giveaway

 A Plain and Simple Heart, an exciting new Amish-meets-Wild West adventure from bestselling authors Lori Copeland and Virginia Smith, weaves an entertaining and romantic tale for devoted fans and new readers.
1884--Several years earlier, young Rebecca Switzer lost her heart to Jesse Montgomery, a rugged but dissolute cowboy on a dusty cattle trail near the Amish settlement of Apple Grove. Now she is grown up, and when she hears one day that he has been spotted nearby, her desire is plain and simple: She must see him.
Sheriff Colin Maddox is counting the days until he can leave law enforcement and follow his dream of starting a church. When a lovely woman, new to town and looking travel weary and a bit lost, gets caught up in the middle of a temperance riot, she is arrested along with the leaders. He can hardly believe she is what she claims--a Plain and simple woman. Nor can he believe how quickly he loses his heart to her. Can Colin convince her to forget Jesse and give him a chance?


Virginia Smith is the author of more than a dozen inspirational novels and more than fifty articles and short stories. An avid reader with ecclectic tastes in fiction, Ginny writes in a variety of styles, from lighthearted relationship stories to breath-snatching suspense.
 
 
 
MY REVIEW
The Second book in The Amish of Apple Grove Series  A Plain an Simple Heart was better than the first and I really enjoyed the first. This one picks up with the younger Switzer daughter and her quest to find her true love, and she goes on a super fun adventure.  Did Someone say something about a young Amish girl in jail? Again not your average Amish book but oh so good.  You will be not be disappointed when you pick up these wonderful books. Don't miss book 1 The Hearts Frontier.
 
I was given a copy of this book by Ginny Smith.
Thank you very much Ginny, I am ready for book 3 A Cowboy at Heart

  11. I have recently started to really enjoy reading Amish fiction and this one sounds totally different from the other books that I have read. I have read a few of Virginia Smith's books and have loved her sense of humor so would love to read this book.
