Description: Victoria Worthington escapes her father’s “prison” and goes to Harts Haven, home of her deceased Amish grandparents. Pregnant and justifiably scared, she finds acceptance at the Inn by Rose. The Inn’s kitchen is being remodeled by Joseph Troyer who is running from her past. Her father will stop at nothing to find her and if he does, she will disappear.
Review:
What a fun book to read when Rose is being … well, Rose. You’ll love her. She considers herself a matchmaker and you can guess what she does. But how she does it — you won’t believe. Frankly, she’s a hoot. And also, just a loving character. Then there are the bird watchers who are often at the Inn where Abigail (you’ll have to read the book to find out how Victoria becomes Abigail) is now a maid.
Patricia Davids, author, also deftly handles Abigail’s reasons for keeping much of her situation private. And Abby’s father — he is every bit as bad as you can imagine. You’ll enjoy one of the early scenes when Abigail yells out the window at Joseph.
For me, I must genuinely like the characters … as well as having a desire that the bad guys are found out and meet their demise. I know when I wish the characters were real — that I could meet them in person — that it is gonna be a good read. The Inn at Harts Haven is a good read.
The pacing — knowing the father has unlimited means to find her and has no problem “removing” anyone that gets in his way — builds and builds until that moment.
Yes, if you love Amish genre books, this goes from your “To Read” list to your “MUST Read” list.
I received a complimentary e-ARC copy of The Inn at Harts Haven via NetGalley from the publisher, HARLEQUIN – Romance (U.S. & Canada), HQN. A positive review was not required; the opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.
