    Sweet Story, Quick Easy Read

    I was intrigued by the story, finding myself turning pages quickly. I didn't realize how short of a story it was. It was kitschy at times and I sometimes uttered, "huh." Overall, I am better for reading it than not.

    Amish Homecoming, The Proposal, is written by Samantha Bayarr. This book really shocked me with its storyline. It is an enjoyable read and it keeps the readers interest to the end.

    The characters are very likeable but there were a few I think were not accepting their grief. When the proposal is made I must admit I was shocked and alittle upset. My heart went out to Lila immediately. I was glad when Lila chose her path and it made perfect sense. Lila is strongwilled and it is a good thing with what she is up against. I did not receive a complimentary copy of this book to read. I was not approached to post a favorable review at anytime. I have rated this book with five stars because it has meant my expectations of a wonderful story that I can highly recommend to others.

    Congratulations to Samantha Bayarr for writing another fantastic story for her readers to enjoy. I am looking forward to the next book in this series

    Too short. Solutions too easily met.

    The novella starts out with Lila at her sister's funeral and seeing a young man with blue eyes at another funeral, she feels a connection. Sorry -- too far fetched. Just not believable. And what happens next is off the charts. A week? A month I might buy, but a week?!

    She leaves home with a horse and buggy and keeps them. Don't buy that either.

    I just found the time allowed for everything to be so rushed, none of it was believable. The plot idea itself was okay but to shove it into a week!!!!

    Very disappointing and I won't be reading the follow-up book(s). No, I do not recommend.

    Amish, Mennonite, or English.

    I really a this story.
    The characters were really good 👍 together. I loved the interaction between Lila and Ben. I had several emotions reading this book. It was a little bit sad 😢 at times.
    What does God have in store for Lila and Ben?
    I was hoping the outcome of her dilemma would be what it came to be.
    Read it for yourself!

    Great story........

    I enjoyed this story. The story of the death of a young woman of the Amish community brought a challenge to the dead women's sister when the family wanted her to marry her sister's widow and take over as wife and mother, fill her dead sister's shoes. Could she do that?

  • Betsy Menard

    Great story

    I enjoyed reading this story! The characters personality traits were strong enough that I could relate to what they were experiencing in their lives, just like they were real people. The only thing I would have liked is for it to have been a longer book!

  • Barbara Mayers

    Amish is a romance novel. It is written in a very simplistic style. While the style seems to be written for a teen or tween, the subject may not appeal to that age group. The lack of depth led to my low rating.

  • Melissa Teague Ellison

    Good book

    Another good book from Samantha Bayarr, it was a short story but good. Brought in characters from another series of hers. I think you will enjoy reading it.

  • Tiff's*Addictiontobooks

    Short and sweet.

  • Wendy Koonz

    Nice, sweet, and clean.

    It was a great story, just wish it was longer. Can't give away any spoilers though. I will look for more from this author.
