Fresh Fiction Review

Dating an Amish Flirt
Rachel J. Good

Reviewed by Evie Harris
Posted April 30, 2024

Romance | Amish

Rachel Glick has not had an easy life.  First, her father died, and then her brother as the result of a fire. She has been supporting her bedridden mother by selling her quilting since she was fourteen.  As a child, she and Josh Yoder had enjoyed a beautiful friendship.  He saw her through her grief after her father died.  After her brother's tragic death, he removed himself from their friendship with no explanation. The reason for Josh's behavior is that he is consumed by guilt and he does not have the courage to tell Rachel why. 

Set in an Amish community in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, DATING AN AMISH FLIRT, by Rachel J. Good is a story about the possibility of second chances even when it seems a happy outcome is unlikely.  Rachel and Josh are likable protagonists, but there are issues.  Josh has chosen to court someone else and Rachel has been unfairly labeled a flirt and is ostracized by her peers. When circumstances and a remarkable Englischer put them into each other's orbit, it becomes almost impossible to ignore that they still love one another. Can they overcome the obstacles in their way?

The author has crafted a heartwarming story that blends together many important themes including faith, family, grace, community and kindness.  DATING AN AMISH FLIRT is a story told with sensitivity and is well worth reading.  Highly recommended.

SUMMARY

In USA Today bestselling author Rachel J. Good’s sweet inspirational romance, the bustling Green Valley Farmer’s Market in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania has everything the residents of nearby Amish communities could ever need…including a chance to find love when they least expect!

Perfect for fans of Amy Clipston, Wanda E. Brunstetter, and Charlotte Hubbard.

Between heavenly homemade bread, irresistible desserts, and stunning crafts, Lancaster, Pennsylvania’s Green Valley Farmer’s Market provides warm-hearted community—and love’s surprising possibilities . . .

With her sweet nature and delicate beauty, Rachel Glick attracts boys like bees to a flower—despite her best attempts to discourage them. Downhearted since her beloved brother’s death, and isolated as the sole caretaker to her invalid mother, Rachel would welcome the friendship of other girls. But her unfair reputation as a flirt leaves her snubbed. Yet she’s only ever loved Josh Yoder, her childhood best friend. Why he distanced himself from her in eighth grade, she’ll never understand. And now, though he’s been a blessing doing repairs around her farm, he is courting another girl, so there is no going back . . .

Josh has been in love with Rachel since he was a boy. But he can never forgive himself for hurting her—or for the reason behind it. He can only do his best to lighten her burdens and hope others see her good heart. Still, the sight of her fills him with fresh longing, much as he tries to focus on his girlfriend and forget the past. Yet when jealousy flares, igniting trouble, they both must look to faith to do what’s right—and bring joyous futures for everyone . . .
