It started cute, then got weird

How bad could an Amish romance be? Pretty creepy, actually. It started out cute like any romance novel would, but then it just turned weird. Nick seems like a nice, sweet guy in the beginning, but as the “relationship” (more like sexfest) progresses, it gets weird and a little gross. I gagged a few times. The middle of the book feels like it was copy/pasted from any other similar novel, completely forgetting the naïveté of it’s heroine. I’m not one to hate tragic endings, but the ending was just terrible both in content and execution.

Let me just start off by stating, I’m not entirely sure where the story gets weird like another review says. Maybe with the choking and spanking which in my opinion, should have been more shocking to a virgin, especially one that’s undereducated like an Amish girl.

Otherwise I was thrilled throughout and found the “sexfeat” relatable considering how important intimacy can be in the thralls of a new relationship and never having enough of each other. The story did move quickly near the end and I felt it did end abruptly.

I will be picking up good books from now on. This gave me brain damage

We are accustomed to read, or hear, about the romantic archetype of Cinderella. This is just because when the gal is transported to a higher status then the story gets more media coverage and attention. This should be, therefore, a matter of perception. Time before, there had to be a Prince riding a white horse to make the story classy. The modern prince has turned, during the '80s, in a jet plane Pilot riding a motorcycle. Shall we call it a cliché? After all, we are surrounded by platitudes. Even Cinderella can be regarded as a literary commonplace.

Now take your new read, the "Amish Heart" trilogy by Miranda Rush. Across the three titles, "Amish Heart," "Amish Passion" and "Amish Redemption," you are about to meet Rebekah, the adorable Amish young girl trapped in the web of totally dull traditions, forced upon her by her own family and community. The girl's heart rebels in love, witnessing once again what a tremendous power lays beneath the apparent fragile nature of our femininity.

Fate however exists, even if we can't grasp the touch of it. For every ocean to be sailed there are at least two opposing shores to be reached. If you don't dare across the dark waters how would you learn about the meaning of free will? If you never said "no" what's the weight of your "yes?"

The story of Rebekah is deeply romantic and highly erotic. It radiates of delight and wrecks of tragedy. Dealing all the time with commonplaces, it tells us how love grows mature and where to look for burning passion in the dusted drawer of traditions. The "Amish Heart" trilogy is anything but cliché! These three books written by Miranda Rush take the reader's mind for an imaginary ride of reality, giving us the one true message: follow your heart in love, follow your instinct in life. Eyes wide open!

And because this story concludes just days before Thanksgiving, what a nice pretext to get in the mood by having a read at it. Heartily recommended!

A GOOD PASSIONATE STORY; BUT A LIFELESS, DISAPPOINTING ENDiNG!!!

The reading of this story was unbelievably PASSIONATE and EROTIC! It gave us readers a feeling of compassion and love for these virulent lovers! The intensity of their LOVE for each other and their physical giving of each other's bodies was undeniably SEXY!

Then came the ENDING!!! TO SAY THE LEAST, MIRANDA, YOU ARE LEAVING US HANGING IN LIMBO WITH THE SITUATION AS IT APPEARS!!!

HOPEFULLY, YOU WILL SHOW US AN OUTCOME 'WE' CAN DEAL WITH!!!

THERE ARE STILL TWO SUBSEQUENT BOOKS TO READ WHICH HOPEFULLY WILL REVIVE OUR HOPES!!!

Well I never thought I'd be reading a book with Amish and erotic in the title!
I'm still coming to terms with the protected innocent Amish heroine using words like cock and pussy!
Okay read with moments of hot sexual exchanges but a seriously terrible ending.

Terrible ending. Great book. Very erotic.
