The Story of Love (The Amish Bookstore #2) by Beth Wiseman


 When Yvonne Wilson’s Amish friends, Jake and Eva Lantz, offer her an opportunity to run their bookstore in Montgomery, Indiana, Yvonne jumps on the opportunity for a change of scenery. She leaves her home in Texas to take on her new job as manager of the bookstore. A spark is rekindled unexpectedly when the move brings her back into contact with Abraham Byler. But Abraham is now dating a woman named Brianna, and the last thing Yvonne wants is to interfere in their relationship.


Abraham grew up Amish, but he chose not to be baptized, eventually entering a career as a sheriff in the hopes of bringing justice to his community. But when a high-stakes situation on the job arises, he begins to question his decisions and contemplate a return to his Amish roots. Meanwhile, he finds himself drawn to Yvonne—casting doubt on his current relationship with Brianna. Brianna herself is keeping secrets . . . and some of those secrets might be dangerous.

As tensions rise, both Yvonne and Abraham will have to choose the best path for themselves—even if it puts their romance at risk.

My thoughts:

I really enjoyed this book, the setting, the characters, and a few twists made for an entertaining read.  Did I like all the characters? No.  Were some or at least one written to be unlikeable?  I think so because there seems to be a consensus that one young lady is quite overbearing, however we have Yvonne Wilson who is the epitome of a lovely young, kind, caring young woman.    I also liked Abraham and was happy to see them reconnect.

This is the second book in the series so I suggest reading the first book to become familiar with the town, the bookstore and on the plus side, it is a really good book.  

Overall, I thought this was a wonderful novel and I look forward to seeing what is next from one of must read authors.

I received a copy from the publisher and Netgalley.  Opinions are my own.
