I loved the story of Samuel and Willow. Willow's parents have decided that it is time for Willow to marry and they have chosen Samuel. After Samuel and his family are invited over for numerous meals, Willow announces that she will find her own husband! Everyone is shocked that she is so outspoken, but in time Samuel proves to be worthy of her love. As an added plus to the book Valerie finds love later in life and there are two weddings in this story.
I liked this the least of all of the books in the series, because I felt that Willow’s story got rushed through in order to get to the part about Valerie. While I like Valerie, it seem like this was a plot for another book that didn’t belong in this series. I think Willow should have had her book to herself. Perhaps Valerie’s story could have been a “Love Blooms” Novella, and we could have taken a little more time with Willow and how she found her true love. Instead, Willow got attacked by Liam, and married to Samuel in very few pages. They were married halfway through the book. I did enjoy her story —it just seemed like it got hurried along.
I was also a little irritated with Nancy’s self-proclamation that she matched all of her kids —we never heard that she had done it for her sons, and it felt like at least some of her daughters found love in spite of her, not because of her. I liked her as a character, but I just am not sure she deserved that much credit.
And I kind of expected that there would be a better conclusion bringing together all of the daughters and cousins and their families together…we never heard who had what boppli—we never even heard if the twins had babies yet. So I was a little disappointed about that.

Amish Willow by Samantha Price is the sixth and final book in the Amish Love Blooms series. Willow is the youngest daughter that needs to be married off. Her parents decide that Samuel Troyer is the man she should marry, with Willow having no say in the matter whatsoever. This upsets Willow and she decides to get a job and move in with Valerie, an older woman, but close friend. As usual, there is lots of drama with the youngest daughter of the Yoder family. The book also contains the story of Valerie and her lost love, only to rekindle this relationship later in life. I loved this series and will miss all these women. Often sad to end a series that you became so engaged in the characters and their lives. A wonderful series that I recommend to lovers of Amish romance.
Willow is being forced into a relationship with Samuel but she is against the idea. Then she thinks her mother is dying and decides to get to know him better . Things go well between them. In Valerie story she and Ed are getting closer and he is hinting of marriage. She wants to know why he didn't marry her before instead of Rita. Nerida has a surprise too.. Good characters good storyline
I chose this 5 star rating because it kept me reading every time I had a spare moment. The only thing that I disliked about the book is the ending. I wanted it to continue. Very clean book all ages could read.
Willow parents who has Samuel & his parents over for dinner again they say that it is to talk about Willow & Samuel's marriage Willow says she won't be forced in to a marriage they have not even gone out together
A wedding tale that turns into three when first Violet, and then her sister, Willow, and then a family friend, Valerie, all end up with the man they love.
But not without complications in the between times, although all turns out well in the end--and with a baby as a bonus, too.
A story with multiple love affairs happening with the urging of parents and a matchmaker. It was easy to read to see how each character was going to find love, forgiveness where needed and new beginnings.
I loved the story of all the Yoder family. This last book was a fantastic ending for the entire series. I recommend this series to everyone who loves Amish romance novels.
The book was very well written and full of suspense. It kept your attention because of so many things that were in suspense, you could not put the book down.
Amish Willow is the 6th and final book in the Amish Love Blooms series written by Samantha Price. This book definitely has a lot going on in it and is fast moving. This book shows us thru one character that love can be never ending.
This book focuses on Willow and her journey to find love and a husband. When she eventually discovers her true love she is amazingly surprised who it turns out to be. Her journey is filled with many so called potholes but she is strong and determined and makes it thru. I really enjoyed the character Valerie thru this entire series. She travels a road most women would eventually give up on. This lady endures many obstacles and still remains happy and optimistic.
I was not given a complimentary copy of this book to read and review. I was not approached by anyone to post a favorable review. I have rated this book with five stars for meeting my expectations of a wonderful story that I can highly recommend to others.
Congratulations to Samantha Price on writing not only a great story but the perfect ending to her series. I look forward to more from this author in the future.
