My rating: 3
Setting: Contemporary Colorado Amish community
First line/s: "His kiss was firm and lingering as he cradled her head in one broad palm."
My comments: The first in a series of three that follow Analise/Annie into the Amish life. The reality is that she fell for an Amish guy and because of her high-powered , crazy life she is ready for some simplicity. Only a little is mentioned about faith and God, so I can totally believe that she thinks she might be able to deal with/handle this incredible life change because she's in love. So, thus far, it's been fairly believable. However, for her to ever follow this lifestyle for the rest of her life, she's going to have to become like a "born-again" and I think that would drive me -- and her -- absolutely nuts AND be hard to believe. Yes, all that sort of think is nonsense to me....
So will I read on? Doubt it greatly.
Goodreads synopsis: Escape the helter-skelter of the modern culture and join software creator Annie Friesen, hiding at the home of an Amishman. With her high-tech career in jeopardy, Annie runs from fast-paced Colorado Springs—and straight into the hospitality of San Luis Valley’s Amish community. There she meets cabinetmaker Rufus Beiler, and the more time she spends with him, the more attracted she becomes. When Annie finds she shares a common ancestor with Rufus, she feels both cultures colliding within her. But is her love for Rufus strong enough for her to give up the only life she’s ever known?
