About this ebook

It was only supposed to be a pretend courtship. That was the deal. It hadn’t included a kiss.

Amy Troyer was shocked when her fiancé Toby left her for the Englisch world. But now he’s back, and rumor has it he’s engaged to a woman from another Amish district. With her sister’s upcoming wedding and holiday festivities being planned, the last thing Amy wants is to show up dateless. So, she hatches a plan to not only make her ex jealous, but to silence the pitiful stares from family and friends. But falling in love with her pretend boyfriend hadn't been part of the plan.

At first, Nathaniel Miller balks at the idea of pretending to be Amy Troyer’s significant other, but he admits he’d like to axe his brothers’ teasing. As the two of them get acquainted and spend more time together, though, he finds himself falling for his schweschder’s best friend.

When Amy discovers her plan to make Toby jealous works, she must decide who she really loves - her former fiancé, or her "pretend" Amish boyfriend.

Could it possibly be Der Herr—instead of Amy—orchestrating their fake courtship?

Ratings and reviews

This was book 9 of the Amish Country Brides series by Jennifer Spredemann. It was an engaging and fun read. Poor Amy Troyer, whose fiance left to join the Englisch, with or without her. After he returns to their Amish district after a 2 year departure, Amy discovers that he is engaged. She talks to Nathaniel about having a pretend courtship with her in the hopes that it will make former fiance, Toby jealous. Perhaps even to get them back together. What happens between them is heartwarming and then Toby returns and decides he wants to have her back. Now Amy has to decide what is best for her future. The book has an interesting twist that will catch you by surprise! This book was a great addition to the series and as with each of the earlier books, a great read that you will totally enjoy! The author is very talented and brings good Christian values to each of her books. And of course, Sammy was there to add some helpful advice to those who need it. I received a copy of this book from the author with no requirement to give a positive review. All thoughts are my own.

ABOUT MY BOOKS…It seems like every series I've written has been unique:

AMISH GIRLS SERIES: (co-authored with my daughters) is a fun series set in Pennsylvania, and is geared for teens (although many of my older readers have said they thoroughly enjoyed it!) (8 books + 2 tie-ins)

AMISH BY ACCIDENT TRILOGY: Amish by Accident was originally a stand-alone book (my first book released!) It was SO different (that was my crazy imagination kicking in), I was unsure how readers would respond (or if anyone would even read it, LOL). And then the reviews started coming in! As of today, the book has 700+ Amazon reviews with a 4.5 STAR average! PRAISE THE LORD!!! I ended up writing a sequel and a prequel, thus the trilogy. :) (3 books)

AMISH SECRETS SERIES: Oh, boy! This series tackles some pretty intense topics that you likely won't read about in your mainstream Amish fiction books. The first book in this series, An Unforgivable Secret is currently FREE in ebook. This was another one that I was unsure how it would resound with readers. It currently has 1900+ Amazon ratings and reviews with a 4.5 STAR average! GOD IS GOOD! (7 books)

AMISH FAIRY TALES: (originally "FAIRLY" TALES, on purpose, but not everybody "gets" my twist on words) Basically, loose retellings of Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast, Amish-style (2 books, #3 on the backburner)

AMISH ROMANCES: the Bible stories of Isaac & Rebekah; Jacob, Rachel, & Leah; Joseph; Ruth; and David loosely told in an Amish context. (5 books so far)

AMISH COUNTRY BRIDES: Sweet faith-filled romances set in Indiana (8 books so far)

STAND-ALONE STORIES: Love Impossible (Amish Dreams) this is kind of a Twilight Zone type of story

UNLIKELY SERIES: Unlikely Santa (An Amish Christmas Story) LOVED writing this one, and its sequel Unlikely Sweethearts.

AMISH COLLABORATIONS: Amish Christmas Miracles Collection, More Amish Christmas Miracles (2021), Amish Spring Romance (2022)
