Their Fake Amish Betrothal

by Rebecca Kertz

Can their temporary arrangement…

Become a permanent love?

Desperate for a fresh start, Abigail Yost moves to a new Amish community to become a teacher—and to escape the heartache of her sister’s engagement to Abby’s former beau. Only, one of the townsfolk isn’t so welcoming. Carpenter Nathaniel Hostetler attempts to avoid the newcomer while building her cottage—he’d much prefer to be working on setting up a new dairy farm. When he witnesses Abby’s distress over a wedding invitation, Nate makes an unexpected a fake engagement. But as the ceremony date approaches, they find that their pretend feelings are starting to become all too real…

From Love Uplifting stories of faith, forgiveness and hope.

Somehow this was one of the best books I’ve read yet also the worst. The writing was absolute atrocious… Perhaps written by someone who is quite young… But as an Amish romance, it made me laugh a lot.

Just left a 5 star review for Their Fake Amish Betrothal such a sweet, faith-filled story. Rebecca, your writing is truly uplifting

Healing from family pain and a sweet carpenter. A clean sweet romance that was a too sugary for me. But not a bad read at all if you enjoy Amish fiction that goes along pretty smoothly.

Enjoyed this. Some skimmable passages but fun to enter the world of the Amish and hear their thoughts.
