BOOK REVIEW- The Gambler's Amish Baby


BOOK- The Gambler's Amish Baby-  What would be worse than being a widow, expecting a baby and trying to run her farm alone? 
Libby Wagler was soon to find out. Libby wished for nothing more than her brother's return from rumspringa. 
Brock Harding won half a farm in a poker game. What will he do when he visits the farm to be faced with an angry Amish woman? 
Libby wants nothing more than for the man who cheated her brother to get off her farm. 
However, with the farm failing, could a bad mannered, rough looking cowboy be Libby's answer to prayer?  AMAZON

The unusual plot got my attention right away and of course the really cute picture on the cover did too.    The story ended up being different than I even expected because of the hidden things in Brock's past.  There were plenty of twists and turns about who he really was. and what he had been through.  
Libby had her fair share of men who just weren't there for her no matter what they had promised.   She's overworked, discouraged, pregnant and doing everything she can to save the farm for her baby's sake.   She is totally convinced that Brock has cheated her brother so that he could get her brother's share of the farm. She fights against him, not even allowing him into her house because at least that is hers.  And its something she doesn't have to share with an outsider, and worst of all a gambler at that.   Brock shows Libby unexpected kindness at times and that confuses her even more.  He does his share of work but mysteriously disappears anytime someone from the Amish community shows up.   What is  with that?  You have to read the book to find out, of course.
