Her Only Wish (A Season in Pinecraft #2) by Shelley Shepard Gray

 


Return to Pinecraft, Florida, for a Sweet Amish Romance

Sheltered yet adventurous, Betsy Detweiler is on a mission to get out of Kentucky and experience new things in life. She's got a list--a life list. What better place to start than with her friends in beautiful Pinecraft, Florida?

From the moment Betsy walks into the Snow Bird Golf Course to sign up for lessons, August Troyer is mesmerized. Betsy is a mass of contradictions--beautiful yet awkward, outgoing yet unsure, joyful yet hesitant. She's like no one he's ever met before, and as the only child of missionary parents, he's met a lot of people.

As Betsy and August embark on a month of enjoying life to the fullest, they'll encounter several reasons to back off and play it safe. But playing it safe has its own consequences. This tender romance reminds us that life--and love--requires a fair amount of risk.

My thoughts:

We met Betsy Detweiler in the first book in this series. After returning home to Kentucky, she has decided to return to Pinecraft to experience new things, meet new people and more importantly to live life without her parents hovering over her constantly.  I mean she does have a health problem but they treat her like a child and not the young woman she is.

I like Betsy, she is sweet, a bit awkward and seemingly clueless but in charming way. Her naiveté was a big part of her charm, she did have a spark in achieving her goals which added to her likeability.  When she decided to take golf lessons, it was the start of amusing situations, not just for me as a reader but also for August Troyer who has challenges with his parents.

This is an entertaining novel, with well crafted characters, a wonderful storyline and one that kept me engaged from beginning to end.

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