The Heart's Shelter

Title: The Heart's Shelter - Audiobook Review

Series: An Amish Legacy #4

Author: Amy Clipston

Narrator: Lauren Berst

Publisher: Zondervan

Genre: Amish, Christian Fiction, Contemporary Romance

Source: Net Galley & Zondervan

My Review

The Heart's Shelter by Amy Clipston is the fourth book in the Amish Legacy series. There is enough background given that it was easy to dive into this book without reading the other books (I have only read the first one).

Once Upon a Buggy

Title: Once Upon a Buggy

Series: The Amish of Apple Creek #2

Author: Shelley Shepard Gray

Genre: Amish, Christian Fiction, Retellings,

Publisher: Kensington

Source: Author provided/Net Galley

My review:

When asked if I would review Once Upon a Buggy, I knew I liked the author's books and figured I could squeeze it into my schedule. I had no idea it was a Beauty in the Beast retelling. I have not read the first book in the series, (yet) but Once Upon a Buggy can be read as a stand-alone novel.

My review:

Who the Bishop Knows by Vannetta Chapman is the third book in the Amish Bishop Mystery series. I wondered why when I had enjoyed the first two books in the series, I had not read the third.

Amish Jane Doe

Title: Amish Jane Doe

Series: Inspirational Cold Case Collection

Author: Shelley Shepard Gray

Genre: Christian Fiction, Suspense

Publisher: Love Inspired

Source: Author Provided

My review:

I knew from the title that Amish Jane Doe would have a unique storyline. I have read a TON of Amish fiction, but never one that featured a cold case. This is a series of books under the umbrella of inspirational cold cases. I would love to read more of these novels. I love that while they are a series, they each stand alone.
