About the Book

Publisher’s Description:

Can the end of one chapter
be the start of their own love story?

Returning home to sell his late father’s bookstore, the last thing Amish carpenter Jesse Kauffman expects is to be roped into a pretend romance…with his childhood best friend. But Fannie Flaud is determined to shape her own future and will do anything to avoid the matchmaking plans of her well-meaning family. As they spend time together and rebuild their friendship, real feelings begin to grow between them. Now torn between Fannie and the life he has planned in Indiana, Jesse must decide: Can he let go of his past to stay with the woman he’s always loved?

From Love Inspired: Uplifting stories of faith, forgiveness and hope.

Goodreads

Rating System

Why I don’t do star ratings... All authors, all books, have someone who labored over them and someone who loves reading them. A star rating is an arbetrary system that is only relevant to the person who provided the rating. I’m always honest with my opnions and feelngs about a book and how it resonated with me. You can hear that in the words that I pen. I explain more about this decision in the article For the Love of Books.

Stay in the story.
