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.
Beloved bestselling author Shelley Shepard Gray returns
with
the third book in her Amish Brides of Pinecraft series—a
story of second chances for two young single parents...and
the wedding that brings them together.
Emma Keim was heartbroken when her husband Sanford passed
away, leaving her to raise three young daughters alone. In
the years since, her relatives have made it no secret that
they expect Emma to remain a widow, mourning Sanford
indefinitely. But when she meets Jay Hilty—a widower with
three young sons of his own—Emma is delighted to have a new
friend who understands her struggles. And it doesn’t hurt
that he’s also handsome and kind. Still, Emma is dismayed
that her family is so opposed to their friendship—and the
idea of it ever becoming anything more. She honors her
husband’s memory every day, but is she destined to be alone
forever?
Jay knows that few people his age understand what it’s like
to lose a spouse, and Emma’s gentleness with his boys stirs
something in his heart that’s been quiet for far too long.
But when Jay’s oldest son becomes engaged to a local woman,
suddenly Jay, Emma, and their children are swept up in
wedding preparations. Witnessing his son’s joy, Jay wonders
if it’s time for him to move forward, too, and find
happiness again.
Jay wants to court Emma in earnest, but Emma’s relatives
remain troubled by the prospect of her moving on. Once
again, love has come to Pinecraft. But can these two
parties
of four become a happy, healthy family of eight?
