Summer Storm by Amy Clipston
Arianna is counting down the days until her wedding to Jesse. They have been friends longer than Arianna can remember, and that friendship turned into love over the past couple of years.

Some summer storms pass quickly, but Arianna is afraid the damage from this one may be too much to repair.

One Sweet Kiss by Kelly Irvin
Everybody in little Bee County, Texas, can see the obvious: Jacob King and Martha Byler are meant to be together. Everyone, that is, but Martha. Ever since her mother died when Martha was a young girl, she has taken over the role of caregiver to her large family. And reckless Jacob, who has had a little too much fun on his rumspringa, only seems to add to the list of people to manage. But one summer changes everything, and these two may just find a way to meet in the middle and share one sweet kiss.

MY REVIEW:
If you enjoy a quick read, these four Amish novellas are the perfect book for you. It also includes four of my favorite authors. I personally enjoy the brevity of novellas as they can be read in one sitting. As a busy grandmother, I appreciate this immensely. Romance is definitely in the air in all four novellas.
I am rating this novella collection 5 stars and highly recommend it to readers.
I received a digital version of this book from netgalley and Thomas Nelson Publishing in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to write a positive review and all opinions expressed are my own.
