Genre: Christian romance, Amish romance
Age: adult
Series/Standalone: series, must be read in order
Content: kissing, death of spouse, lots of discussion about abortion, miscarriage
Rating: 3/5 Stars ( )

For a while now I haven't been able to read Amish fiction, after reading several boring Amish novels -- I was in a Amish reading slump. Two Steps Forward brought back my enjoyment of Amish fiction. Fisher brings you an Amish book that is different from nearly all I have read, she wrote a series I have fallen in love with. Most times I come to lack any positive feelings towards the Amish characters because I dislike their beliefs.

In Two Steps Forward I found relatable characters, a beautiful setting, and forgiveness of sins.

With subjects that are not usually shown in Amish fiction such as abortion, abandonment, foster care, and other subjects of the like. This is something of a romance … And so much more.

I look forward to reading more from Suzanne Woods Fisher, and I need to read the first book in the series after reading the last two. For once I look forward to loving an Amish book.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the author. All views expressed are only my honest opinion. ( )

I enjoyed this Amish Romance.I received this copy for free and I voluntarily chose to review it. I've given it a 4.5* rating only because their story doesn't seem to be finished. I know this is part of a series and it addresses some heavy issues. One of the women is led to fight for the unborn lives. As someone who has worked to save the unborn, I understand the drive. As someone who has also lost three babies, I know how deep the sorrow goes from than. And from the healing of that, I understand that each human, from unborn to the elderly, must decide for themselves wheather to live or not. While in a woman's body, that baby has a soul that answers to a higher power. I realize not all agree, I also know that some who choose abortion, have to deal with depression also. If you agree or not, I also have the right to say what I believe. Unless you are responding to this book, do not respond.

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK ibjoy1953

Love Overboard is a really nice short and sweet romance read. Caitlyn found herself in a shockingly embarrassing Alaskan cruise, one that was suppose to be with her sister, but turned out very differently. In the beginning, I grew to like these characters, and the plot kept me wanting to keep reading to know the ending. The cruise was a fun setting, though the atmosphere was not the fun happy place Caitlyn wanted to be. Her sister was to be her roommate, not a strange guy she had never met named Greg. But she was determine to take the crhise anyway, but she didn’t aimed for it to change her life completely like it did.

I think this is more of a novella, because it is rather short. And I enjoy a short book at times when I don’t have the time to read a full book. For me, it seemed that the characters didn’t fully develop as deep as I wanted them to. But all in all it is a great romance to read. I encourage you to check this book out for a fee hours of entertainment and enjoyment.

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK

Continuing the Deacon Family Series, Suzanne Woods Fisher gives readers the third book in the series. Sylvie run a horse breeding business, and sometimes it is a constant battle with her neighbor, Edith. And to make matters worse, she is not sure how Edith will react about Sylvie hiring Jimmy, Edith’s son. But Jimmy is just who Sylvie needs because of his knowledge of horses. But he doesn’t come with a very good reputation. It will be interesting to see how these two get along. 85

Suzanne Woods Fischer is an outstanding writer and I always enjoy her stories very much. This one was especially interesting to me because the horse breeding business added new light and live to the story. It’s not something that is usually the subject of an Amish story. I thoroughly enjoyed Jimmy and Sylvie taking care of the farm and horses, and Sykvie’s little boy is adorable, as Jimmy thinks so as well. There is a lot of heartache and confusion over the farm property. It seems Edith tries to be in control of something that doesn’t belong to her, and she treated her deceased son horrible as well as treating his widow Sylvie. Edith is a miserable person, and tries to make everyone else that way. Not my favorite character at all. But Ms. Fisher weaves all of this together and gives a sweet and likeable ending everyone will enjoy.
