It was only supposed to be a pretend courtship. That was the deal. It hadn’t included a kiss.

Amy Troyer was shocked two years ago when her fiancé left her for the Englisch world. But now he’s back, and rumor has it he’s engaged to a woman from another Amish district. With the community's upcoming weddings and holiday festivities being planned, the last thing Amy wants is to show up dateless. So, she hatches a plan to not only make her ex jealous, but to silence the pitiful stares from family and friends.

At first, Nathaniel Miller balks at the idea of pretending to be Amy Troyer’s significant other, but he admits he’d like to axe his brothers’ teasing. As the two of them get acquainted and spend more time together, though, he finds himself falling for his schweschder’s best friend.

Could it possibly be Der Herr—instead of Amy—orchestrating their fake courtship?

A heart touching story

Sometimes when our plans don’t go exactly as we thought they would…..something unexpected and wonderful happens!The plan was for Amy Troyer and Nathaniel Miller to have a fake courtship. Amy was desperately trying to show her ex-fiancé, who had left the Amish faith, that she was doing well without him. Nathaniel was tired of his family’s constant remarks about trying to find a wife. So what could work out better than a fake courtship between Amy and Nathaniel?I enjoyed reading Amy and Nathaniel’s story. Their plans took an unexpected turn; and their journey of learning to place their full confidence in God in times of uncertainty added a theme of faith to the book. I have loved this series, and look forward to reading more from author Jennifer Spredemann.I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

Great Amish Fiction

This was book 9 of the Amish Country Brides series by Jennifer Spredemann. It was an engaging and fun read. Poor Amy Troyer, whose fiance left to join the Englisch, with or without her. After he returns to their Amish district after a 2 year departure, Amy discovers that he is engaged. She talks to Nathaniel about having a pretend courtship with her in the hopes that it will make former fiance, Toby jealous. Perhaps even to get them back together.What happens between them is heartwarming and then Toby returns and decides he wants to have her back. Now Amy has to decide what is best for her future. The book has an interesting twist that will catch you by surprise!This book was a great addition to the series and as with each of the earlier books, a great read that you will totally enjoy! The author is very talented and brings good Christian values to each of her books. And of course, Sammy was there to add some helpful advice to those who need it.I received a copy of this book from the author with no requirement to give a positive review. All thoughts are my own.
