Amish Brides of Pinecraft is quickly becoming one of my favorite Amish series. A WEDDING AT THE ORANGE BLOSSOM INN by Shelley Shepard Gray is a sweet return to Pinecraft, Florida. We get to catch up with old friends, and we even get to make new ones. Be prepared to laugh and cry as you are reading—and that is why I love Shelley Shepard Gray's stories. She pulls at my heart, and I have no control over my emotions. I love when an author does that to me.

A WEDDING AT THE ORANGE BLOSSOM INN is like an Amish Brady Bunch. An Amish widower, Jay, with three boys and an Amish widow, Emma, with three girls. Not to mention a naughty beagle named Frankie who brings them all together. Frankie has a love for pizza and he can smell it from blocks away. The girls are out searching for Frankie after he dug under the fence and escaped and they find him at the Orange Blossom Inn where he has ruined and eaten all of the pizza that belonged to Jay and his boys. Emma is instantly connected to Jay since they are both in the same exact situation. Single and raising three kids. Can they let go of their grief and move on with each other? What about their families? Can they become one big blended family and be happy?

Shelley Shepard Gray is a fabulous writer and one of my favorites. A WEDDING AT THE ORANGE BLOSSOM INN is exactly why I devour her books. I always feel good when I'm reading her stories. There are recipes included, and to me that is like an added gift. I love how Shelley keeps us up-to-date with our favorite characters and introduces us to new friends in each book in this wonderful series. The characters all seem so real and believable that you can't help but cheer them on as they try to put their lives back together.
