HER AMISH MAN is the first
book I’ve read by Ms. Bates. She is allegedly a well-known romance writer, and
Erin Bates is her pseudonym. I’m not sure who she is really.
There is some bad
language, beer drinking, and other things going on that one doesn’t usually
find in Amish fiction. Also the kissing scenes got a little involved—also something
you don’t usually find in this genre. The suspense wasn’t really scary, we knew
who did it right away, and we knew they were framing her, so the only suspenseful
thing was not knowing when it would happen.
