Martha, an Amish schoolteacher in Unity, Maine, loves her job and her community. When Jake Sullivan proposes to her and she turns him down, her parents think she is foolish for turning down such a good catch.
Jake Sullivan is considered to be a fine Amish man, and everyone likes him — all except for Martha.
In
fact, whenever she's with Jake, all she wants is to be far away from
him. She can't put her finger on it, but something about him makes her
uneasy.
When Isaiah moves to the community and meets Martha, their friendship sparks into something more. Their relationship causes conflict and turmoil within the community, including rumors that erupt into a roaring flame.
When
harsh accusations are made and she is attacked both verbally and
physically, Martha must stand up for herself and make a difficult
choice.
Will Martha follow her heart or do what her parents expect of her?
This standalone short read is the prequel to Ashley Emma's bestselling Undercover Amish of the Covert Police Detective Unit Series, but these books can be read out of order.

This was a short story that had it's moments although I would have liked a bit more depth. It does get points for being a clean romance.
Martha was likable and her sense about Jake proves to be spot on.
Martha's stepmother needs some serious help because of the way she treats Martha. But Martha's father is so loving and fair in his dealings. I liked to see that because in so many Amish stories the father is so harsh.
So over all I kinda liked this book but not a lot. However, I it does make me wonder about any fuller books since this one did have good bones. I will be taking a look at those.
I received a copy of this book through BookFunnel and was not required to leave a review. All thoughts and words are my own.
