ELLIE

Henry Yoder has been a thorn in my flesh since fourth grade. I can't stand him.

No matter that he's my brother's best friend.

No matter that all the young women in our community swoon every time he's out on the hockey pond.

No matter that he has mesmerizing eyes a girl could get lost in. (Oh no, did I admit that out loud?) Scratch that.

No matter that he relentlessly pursues me no matter how many times I turn him down.

Henry Yoder is bad news.

But when I accidentally ride home with him from a singing...and accidentally kiss him, I know I'm in big trouble.

HENRY

I admit that I tricked Ellie Petersheim into a buggy ride, and I have the bruises on my back to prove it. Don't ask.

But, somehow, during the tumultuous evening, I manage to kiss Ellie. And get this. She kisses me back. Jah, she said it was just a natural reaction, but my gut is telling me that deep down inside, she might like me just a smidgen. And it's that smidgen that gives me hope.

But apparently, I've committed some type of unforgivable sin in the past to make Ellie despise me. And I have no clue what it is. Elijah doesn't even know.

Eli's been my best friend since the beginning of time. Hockey teammates on the pond. We're thick as thieves. But now he's convinced I've done something to his sister and is breathing threats and flinging hockey pucks at my head.

All I know is that I need forgiveness for something before I can make Ellie fall in love with me and we can ride off into the sunset together.

A sweet and clean story that is so much fun!

After reading this book, I can said that “I for sure and certain love Ellie Petersheim and Henry Yoder”, the two main characters in this book.This is a light-hearted book that’s going to have you smiling andcheering for this sweet couple to find their happily-ever-after. This book also has a thread of faith, hope, and love that runs throughout the story as Ellie’s family faces difficulties that could change everything for Ellie and Henry.If you wonder how an Amish theme can blend together with a hockey theme, authors Jennifer Spredemann and Brandi Gabriel make it work seamlessly in an unexpected way. You’ll love the way that Henry plans to make Ellie fall in love with him, and it’s the unexpected things along the way that make the story of Henry and Ellie so much fun. (One note: There is some kissing in this clean and sweet story, but it’s all handled appropriately.)I’m not sure if this is a stand-alone novel, but I’d love to read further adventures that involve Henry and Ellie.I voluntarily received a copy of this book from the author. All opinions are my own.

A cute love story that you will love.

I love this cute love story. It's nothing like air have ever read before. The way its like reading a play, and the characters, I could see them on stage doing their parts. You need to read this one for sure and for certain, cause it has a beautiful message as well as a story..I was gifted an ARC copy but not required to leave a positive review..

A cute and comical tale!

For Sure and Certain I Do Not Love Henry Yoder by Jennifer Spredemann with Brandi Gabriel is a lighthearted and amusing Amish romance. The story is told from Ellie and Henry’s point of view. Ellie is still upset with Henry over an incident that happened when she was in the fourth grade. Henry, though, has no idea why Ellie keeps refusing to ride home in his courting buggy after the youth events. While Ellie may be upset with Henry, she is still attracted to him. I liked Henry Yoder who is a kind, thoughtful, hard-working man. I felt for Ellie’s family who had more than their than share of medical issues. The story felt like it was for a younger audience (tweens and teens). There is kissing and talk about wanting to go further, but otherwise it is a clean rom com. For Sure and Certain I Do Not Love Henry Yoder is a cute and comical tale with a stolen lunch, a go between brother, whipping up whoopie pies, stitching together, keen kisses, and a hat trick with the biscuit.*I voluntarily read an advanced copy of this book. I am not required to leave a review. The comments and opinions expressed are strictly my own.

sweet rom-com

The sweetest Amish rom-com ever! I loved this story! I won this book from the author and really enjoyed reading it.

Sweet book

I for sure and for certain enjoyed this sweet Amish read by Jennifer Spredemann!Henry has been in love with Ellie for as long as he can remember… but for reasons he can’t quite figure out, she can’t stand him (and let’s be honest—“hate” isn’t exactly allowed in Amish circles!).Can Henry win her over? Or is Ellie set on keeping her distance for good? And more importantly… will some of the best whoopie pies ever baked help soften her heart?This story is full of charm, heart, and just the right sprinkle of humor. A delightful read you won’t want to miss!
