Wesley is running his family’s Amish market alone and it is Christmas — a busy, profitable time. No time to court properly but Liesl suggests he hire her Aunt Jenny to help in hopes she can spend more time with Wesley. She forgets to tell him that her “aunt” is only 26.
Jenny is visiting Liesl’s family in hopes it will make a painful breakup better. She hardly expected a job to introduce a man into her life. AND … a man that her niece was courting. And that’s where things get complicated for all involved.
My review …
A Hallmark Movie in a book! What an enjoyable Christmas story! Kindle readers will have a treat with Christmas red chapter headings and a drop cap opening the first paragraphs. (A drop cap is a large letter starting all “My review” segments. The red “A” on this review is the same color as the barn.)
Okay, the story is a bit predictable but who cares if it is an enjoyable read? What’s not mentioned in the description above is Wesley’s father who ran the store HIS way. But while visiting family, he had a heart attack so Wesley is trying to handle business all by himself. Of course, ahem … with a father who tells him what to do every time they talk by phone like Wesley had not worked there since childhood.
Then Aunt Jenny arrives. You’ll like her. You’ll like Liesl too. This is a “nice” story with “nice” characters. Well, except for some customers who think their time is far more important than anyone else’s.
So grab a cup of hot chocolate, your favorite furry friend or friends, a fleece or velour lap blanket, and snuggle down for a wunderbar Christmas read.
I received a complimentary DRC (digital review copy) of “Happily Ever Amish” via NetGalley from the publisher, Hallmark Publishing. A positive review was not required; the opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.
