PROMISE AT PEBBLE CREEK book review

Promise at Pebble Creek
(Hope Chest of Dreams #6)
by Lisa Jones Baker


Amish country girl Hannah Lapp lives for adventure—the kind found in favorite novels and the stories she secretly writes. And at her family’s popular tourist store, she’s fascinated by the different Englischers she meets. Especially when Marcus Jackson comes to town. She’s sure there’s more to the ex-city boy than his quiet, helpful ways, and she’s curious to find out just what it is . . .

Marcus fled Chicago before his brothers’ life of crime ruined his future. He’s not sure exactly why God’s plan brought him to this quaint little town. Or why his growing friendship with the bubbly, inquisitive Hannah has him trusting her with his past. But when local stores are robbed and suspicion falls on Marcus, can he and Hannah come together to prove his innocence—and make their own happy-ever-after ending?

MY REVIEW:
5 Stars:  5/5 Star Rating:
This is one exciting piece of Amish fiction!  It is one you won't want to miss reading!  Marcus and Hannah's story is full of surprises, some good and some definitely not so good.  Will they be able to overcome the obstacles they face and prove Marcus's innocence ? He is Englisch and she is Amish--how can they ever be together? It is forbidden for an Amish to marry an Englischer or they will be shunned.  Hannah would not desire that, surely. Marcus would never give up his Englisch life, would he?  
This made for a wonderful way to spend my hours during the current time of social distancing.  If you're hungry for some new reading material, I suggest this one!
I received a digital ARC of this book from netgalley and Zebra Books.  All opinions expressed are my own.
