all in love with an award-winning author's charming Amish romance about a woman with a secret pen pal—perfect for fans of Rachel J. Good and Marta Perry.

Waitress Hallie Brunstetter has a secret: she writes a popular column for her Amish paper under the pen name GHB. When Hallie receives a letter from a reader asking to become her pen pal, she reluctantly agrees. She can’t help but be drawn to the compassionate stranger, never expecting him to show up in Hidden Springs looking for GHB . . . or for him to be quite so handsome in real life. But after losing her beau in a tragic accident, Hallie won’t risk her heart—or her secrets—again.

If Kiah didn’t already feel so connected to GHB, Hallie would be a perfect wife—and it seems most of Hidden Springs’s would-be matchmakers agree! Though Hallie is peculiarly opposed to uncovering GHB’s true identity, she understands Kiah almost as well as his mystery pen pal. The longer he searches for GHB, the more Kiah finds himself hoping Hallie will be holding the pen that first captured his heart. But will Hallie ever trust Kiah with the truth about her identity . . . and her feelings for him?

Marilyn’s thoughts:

Laura Hilton never fails to create a story that will hook readers from the start. The Amish Secret Wish was the same with the bantering among characters, especially with Kiah and George. Kiah had one purpose when he arrived in Hidden Springs but he was surprised how his heart connected to Hallie. The antics that Kiah endured in trying to find the Budget scribe while there gave way to unexpected twists and turns with a gentle underlying theme of God’s ways are higher than ours when we open our eyes and heart. Bishop Nathan statement, “When there seems there is nothing left, there is still hope.” played a role for Hallie to start letting go of her past. The connection between the heroine and hero faced multiple obstacles with the input and questioning of community members. Will Hallie and Kiah find their answers to what their hearts are saying?

This is a wonderful story filled with humor, forgiveness, family, faith, hope and love. It was astonishing to see the growth of the characters that Hilton created in this five star tale. I would love to see a continuation of this series from the author.

I received a complimentary copy of this book without any obligation to write a positive review. I have expressed my own opinion.
