Cicada Season (Miller Creek series) by Mindy Stelle


 The Miller’s Creek matchmakers are multiplying, and they aren’t done with the Milford half dozen yet.


Hannah Troyer thinks she can do it all, but it’s clear the young woman needs help with the apple harvest this year. The local bakers have an idea on how to remedy that. Throw in a handsome, overly confident, Leon Milford and let the sparks fly.

It will be the craziest summer ever to hit Miller’s Creek, but who doesn’t like a good challenge?  


My thoughts:

Mindy Steele has become one of my must-read authors, she crafts characters with real life challenges, they have depth, faith and yes, a little fun along the way.  The Miller Creek series is the perfect example of what I am trying to convey.  The town has lost several men in an accident, leaving their loved ones to carry on without them. The widows, children are left with loving memories, but also the hard work of caring for farms, and in this book, an apple orchard.

I love the Amish matchmakers, that’s part of the fun I referred to earlier, they have good intentions that certain people may not recognize at first and that leads to some unwelcome meetings. In the case of Hannah and Leon, things get off to a contentious start to put it mildly.   With a little help from family and friends, a lot of patience, the couple manage to work through their differences and accept they just might make things work.

Although this can be read as a standalone, I recommend reading the series in order.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher through Netgalley.  Opinions are my own.
