Wesley and Liesl have been courting for a few years now. He works all the time in his families store and her family is hoping he will propose soon. She invites her aunt to come stay with them and help him out in the store while his father is away with health issues. 
 
 Jenny arrives and becomes a big help to Wesley at the store. Jenny is helping out a single father with his daughter by babysitting and making their clothes. 
 
 This quickly turns into a relationship with the wrong person situation. The ending is a happy one. This is something I am not used to seeing. Typically you would not find this kind of situation within an Amish story so be aware as you go into this. 
 
 It is a clean romance though. The story was interesting and overall enjoyable. However, if this situation is something that would bother you, you may want to skip this one, as the whole book centers around it. 
 
 I listened to the audiobook narration by Suzie Althens. She did a wonderful job with this narration and I would definitely check out more from her. 
 
 Thank you NetGalley, Hallmark Publishing, and Shelley Shepard Gray for the review copy of this book that took me forever to get to.
