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).

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.
