Falling for the Amish Bad Boy: An Uplifting Inspirational Romance (Seven Amish Sisters, 2)

This is the second book in the Seven Amish Sisters series by this author. Seven Amish sisters centers around seven sisters who have lost their mother, and their father has early onset dementia. They must do everything to keep the family going. One of the sisters, Beth Kofmann, learns that another sister has hired Jack Lehman to build a store for them. She is very upset as Jack has a terrible reputation with women and she does not want him around her or any of her sisters. She listens to all the Amish grapevine gossip about Jack and does not want him around. As she comes to know him while he works on their store, she soon feels that maybe everything she has heard about him is not the truth. As they both develop their friendship we see many emotions. I did enjoy the book, however, felt there that Beth showed too many doubts and I soon tired of her constant whining and mistrust of Jack. I received a copy of this book from NetGalley and Harlequin. The opinions expressed are my own.

Jack Lehman had a bad reputation. Everyone knew it. Beth Koffman certainly knew after what he did to her sister. How could her oldest sister have contracted with him to build their store!! And then put her in charge of construction! She can’t stand him! Jack is determined to do well building the Koffman store despite what people think. Because he knows most of it isn’t true. My review… A fast read. A fun read. Exactly what I wanted. But there was a moral to this story too — actually two. One: Don’t believe everything you hear. Two: Words hurt, especially when they aren’t true. Jack’s father delivers his words with a sledgehammer tongue. Being told you are a failure and will always be a failure is not an easy cross to bear. The Amish community knows his father. The bad reputation isn’t from his father. Everyone knows that Jack is a “player” with one girlfriend after another. Why he has kissed every girl??? Well, not the Koffman girls. At least not all seven of them! The Koffman sisters are very close. After all, it’s just them, no ‘mamm‘, and a ‘daed‘ with dementia. And when a young man named Jack Lehman makes Willa cry, Beth is definitely not willing to give Jack even an inch of leeway. Except the Jack that starts to build their store isn’t like the Jack everyone talks about. Slowly, she starts seeing him in a different light. Remember the two morals that started this review. Beth doesn’t follow number One. Will she learn to do so in time to claim the happiness and love she longs for? If you are looking for a feel-good, quick read in an Amish setting, then “Falling for the Amish Bad Boy” is for you.
