About this ebook
#1 Bestselling Author Leslie Gould Delivers a New Amish Romance Series
When Amish farmer Pete Treger moves to Paradise Township, Pennsylvania, seeking a better life, he meets sisters Cate and Betsy Miller. Both are beautiful, but older sister Cate is known more for her sharp tongue and fiery temper than her striking appearance. Betsy, on the other hand, is sweet and flirty--and seems to have attracted most of the bachelors in Lancaster County!
However, the sisters' wealthy father has made one hard and fast rule: elder sister must marry first, before the younger can even start courting. Unfortunately for poor Betsy, and for the men who want to court her, her older sister, Cate, doesn't have any suitors--until Pete comes to town, that is.
Though he finds both sisters attractive, something about Cate's feisty demeanor appeals to him. Soon the other bachelors in the district convince Pete to court Cate. She hardly seems receptive to his overtures, though. Instead, she's immediately suspicious of his interest.

The story was well written. You really became one with characters, struggling with their situation and emotions. Hoping with every turn of the page , they would find the love you knew they had for each other. I cried and felt a good deal of emotions with this story.

An insightful glimpse into the world of the Plain people. Philosophical introspective that stirs the reader. A few moments of frustration with a few of the characters, but that just makes you want to read more to see if they can find redemption.

A real romance story. I loved the book. Although I would have taken Betsy over my knee and given her a good whatfor, she was really what made the story.
