Love may be right around the corner in the heartwarming, sweet, and gentle Pine Creek series from Amity Hope.
After the death of her beloved father, Emma Ziegler just wants to keep her family’s maple syrup farm afloat and raise her two young siblings. But when her meddling aunt’s first choice of a husband for her turns out to be Emma’s last choice―Pine Creek’s most notorious bachelor―Emma grows desperate. Her aunt won’t listen, no matter how much she tries to tell her the man in no way embodies the Amish values of faith or hard work.
Kind and industrious Levi Bontrager has always wanted to protect his best friend Emma, even after a secret from their youth left them growing apart. Which is why he steps in to claim that Emma cannot wed anyone else, as she is currently courting him. Yes, the small lie leaves him feeling guilty, but Levi’s hope is that if he can win back the beautiful Emma’s trust, he can also win over her heart...for real.
But can a courtship that began just for show ever blossom into a true romance that could save both their futures?

My Thoughts...
Pine Creek Courtship is the first book in a new series. I have to say Hope was a fresh voice in Amish fiction. It was not the same old Amish story told over it was a sweet fresh new story not told before.
I have found a new author to enjoy.
You will get wrapped up in this one and not want to put it down.
4 stars from this reviewer. I will be sitting here waiting on the next book from Hope.
