Huckleberry Hill by Jennifer Beckstrand
5.0

This was my first Amish romance, I have been seeing these books around for a few years now, and I wanted to pick up one to see what all the hub hub was about. So I have to say that I was impressed with this one here. I ended up loving this one so much. There was something so different about this than I expected and it also had such a refreshing feel to the story. I just loved how non feminist it is, its much more traditional and I really adored that. I also found the romance so sweet, there is such an instant chemistry between these two but then some family drama gets in the way. The only thing I didn't like about this one was the sister, she was awful. I really admired though how the hero and heroine handled the situation with her, its a pretty complex one and they treated her with much more grace than she deserved. My heart felt for them because you see how much they truly like each other all the way through the story, and have to hide what they feel but I am glad that everyone in the end sees her for what she is. I also adored the grandparents being matchmakers, they were so adorable. haha I will say that the heart and feels that were delivered especially in the later part of the book is what won me over and upped my rating from 4 to a 5 star, I just loved so many aspects to this story. And I was so endeared by this one and I can't wait to explore not only this author much more, but also Amish romance.
