    Under the Harvest Moon, by Beth Wiseman
    When Naomi Dienner is suddenly widowed, she never expects to find love again . . . until she meets Brock Mulligan, an English family friend hired at harvest time. As a sinister presence begins to threaten Naomi, Brock seeks to prove himself trustworthy while struggling with growing feelings for Naomi and her children. Will God open Naomi’s heart—and give Brock his own second chance at love?

    Love and Buggy Rides, by Amy Clipston
    Janie Lantz is a cashier at Lancaster Souvenirs and Buggy Rides, where Jonathan Stoltfuz is a buggy driver. A frightening accident brings Janie and Jonathan together in a blossoming friendship, yet daunting obstacles stand between them and something deeper. Can love kindle into flames that burn away fear and regret—and lead them to a life together?

    Mischief in the Autumn Air, by Vannetta Chapman When items start going above market value at his auction house, Eli Wittmer is first thrilled, and then puzzled. But when the house is broken into, Eli and his new bookkeeper, Martha Beiler track down a trail of clues. Will they solve the mystery before the fall festival ends—and discover an unexpected new love?

    A Quiet Love, by Kathleen Fuller Dinah Hochstetler, quiet and bookish, longs for marriage but hides in her shyness. Amos Mullett, a simple farmer, knows he’s different but aches for a loving wife. As Dinah and Amos navigate a budding romance, will the power of love—and the blessing of God—be enough to overcome their doubters?


    My Review:

    I enjoyed reading this entire collection of Amish novellas set during harvest season. These collections are one of my favorite things to read. There are four separate stories in this book. They are not connected in plot line at all. They were all well written with good characters. The plots were interesting and held my attention. The romance part was just right. If I had to pick a favorite it would probably be A Quite Love. The characters and plot line are unlike all Amish books that I have read. It really touched my heart. I really liked all the stories. I recommend this book to anyone who likes Amish fiction.
