I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

On assignment in Green Ridge, PA, New York photojournalist Darcy King will stop at nothing to bag a prestigious staff position at Hudson Magazine. Just one problem: her subjects are Amish, and they shun having their pictures taken.

As a wild teen on his Amish Rumspringa, Samuel Rishel fell prey to a photographer who splashed his face on a romance novel and left him with trust issues. Older and definitely wiser, he wants nothing to do with cameras until a pretty young photographer arrives in the family’s farmhouse B&B. Eager to support his mother’s fledgling business, he’ll help Darcy on one condition—no pictures of faces allowed.

Will Samuel and Darcy go from enemies to something more? Or will a single photograph shatter their trust forever?

Reflections

Five stars. Really? Is that all I can give? Sigh, I’ll go with five. The writing style of this book is so unexpected for an Amish romance. And I mean that in a very good way. I never wanted to put this book down and I’ll reread it. I fell in love with all the characters. Especially Darcy, Samual, and sassy Pammy who owns the local bakery. If I say more, I’ll just spoil the whole thing for you.    

I often get asked by people who do not read Amish books, what Amish book I recommend to them. 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴. This is the book. If you love Amish romance, then 100% without a doubt you need to read this. But if you aren’t sure if the genre is for you, or maybe you haven’t liked it in the past, this book will take you in and make you fall in love with all things Amish.
