The only person Christy can trust is Sam Burkholder, Ellie’s father. Only Sam doesn’t know he is a dad. They haven’t seen each other in years. Someone has murdered her sister and Christy and her daughter, Ellie are on the run! There are many people who would really enjoy a good, entertaining and faith-themed book while sitting in their favorite place to read. So, here is one to enjoy and share with others who love to read, let their imaginations run free, and feel relaxed when they finish the book. With the holidays around the corner, you should really give AMISH CHRISTMAS ESCAPE a try. After reading this heart stopping story I’m excited to go back and read the previous books in this promising series!
There is so much action and suspense in AMISH CHRISTMAS ESCAPE. How many people want Christy dead? Yes, you better grab a copy as soon as you can. Amish Country Justice is a series that I think you can read out of order and it wouldn’t ruin the prior books. There are little hints here and there of the previous books. AMISH CHRISTMAS ESCAPE is an awesome story, included in a suspenseful series! I quickly found myself immersed in the story, desperately hoping that Sam and Christy could outwit a killer.
AMISH CHRISTMAS ESCAPE is the twelfth book in the Amish Country Justice series by Dana R. Lynn. I really enjoyed this story. It is a page turner from the very first page. This is not what I had truly expected, but still, it was an amazing journey for me. It didn’t really hold the surprise factor of trying to figure out who the villain Sam and Christy are up against for me, but I still loved it. I love the feel of the constant Amish setting in which AMISH CHRISTMAS ESCAPE takes place.
The suspense of AMISH CHRISTMAS ESCAPE is outstanding and had me glued to the pages from start to finish. The fear for the safety of Christy and her daughter is heart pounding and always at the forefront of every step that Sam and Christy take. There are also several twists and turns that keep them on their toes. The final confrontation is heart pounding as I was wondering how it was all going to end. Now I can’t wait for the next book!

Amish Christmas Escape is a fantastic, action-packed novel filled with danger around every corner. It combines a believable past scenario, with a young husband and wife separated for years, and a compelling reason that the woman, Christy, is now running for her life! Add to that a secret child twist and there were plenty of reasons to wonder how this book could ever resolve into a happily ever after.
I have read a few of the books that are directly before this one and it was great to get to reconnect with the former characters from those stories. Of course, they all had their own harrowing situations in their own books which they had to survive and they are now living contentedly in their Amish community. Until the next family member finds themselves fighting to survive and trying to keep his newly found family alive!
It was nice to see Christy and Ellie reconnect with Sam. Although they came from extremely different backgrounds and both Sam and Christy struggled with worrying about how they could go forward as a family when Christy was English and Sam was Amish, it was refreshing to see that these two never stopped loving each other.

Amish Christmas Escape was a captivating tale from the beginning to the end. Lynn sure knows how to create a thrilling plot filled with heart pounding action, disappointments, new beginnings, faith and romance.
Christy O’Malley’s life had been a sad one except for her young daughter. When she needed help there was only her Amish friend she could turn to as even her father was deceitful to her. The scenes are vividly descriptive and I definitely felt like I was in the midst of the action, storms and experienced the pain and suffering Christy had endured. Sweet little Ellie stole my heart but Christy was a caring and loving mother. Will Sam and his driver be able to accept Christy and her daughter when they learn of her reason for leaving her home? Who’s trying to kill Christy and why? This gripping tale had surprises and Lynn did a wonderful job bringing the plot to closure with the why and who was behind all the malice and dishonesty. I look forward to the next Love Inspired Suspense by Dana R. Lynn.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author without any obligation to write a positive review. I have expressed my own opinion.

This intense, action-packed novel kept me up, turning the page until the end. Kudos to the author. Excellent pacing as the suspense deepened. I connected with the heroine immediately and wanted to help in her dilemma.
Christina (Christy) O’Malley, a prisoner in her own home, suspects someone murdered her sister. She grabs Ellie, her five-year-old daughter, and escapes in the snowy weather. Christy suspects someone murdered her sister, and she and her daughter are next. She races to her car. Someone starts shooting. The only person she can trust is Sam Burkholder, Ellie’s father. Only, Sam doesn’t know he is a dad.
Sam Burkholder receives a call at his dad’s place of business, from someone who says she is his wife. Sam is stunned after six years in his Amish home, and not one word from Christy. What would this do to his status in the Amish church with his parents? He had questions that needed answers. Something must be wrong for her to contact him. He decides to meet her where they’d met when they were young and rebellious teenagers. They’d engaged in a marriage ceremony, but there was no proof of their marriage.
The action doesn’t stop. Readers will not be disappointed in this novel. Amish Christmas Escape will keep them on their toes.

What a read! The mystery surrounding this story literally pulled me in from page one. I started this book at bedtime intending to read a chapter or maybe two. The next thing I knew, I had read five and stayed up way past my intended bedtime. So worth it though! The story held my attention throughout and I couldn't wait to see how it was resolved. Really exciting read!

Christy O’Malley fears for her daughter’s life after her sister is murdered, so she flees with her daughter and reaches out to the one person she knows she can trust. Sam Burkholder—her estranged husband and Ellie’s father.
Sam Burkholder has a daughter? He’s shocked to find this out when Christy contacts him. Plus, their lives are in danger, so he races to protect them. Past hurts and questions haunt him as they go on the run to escape the clutches of Christy’s father. Can they mend their relationship and keep their daughter safe?
Dana R. Lynn has done it again! This action-packed story had me from the beginning. Twists and turns around every corner kept me reading to the end. I couldn’t get there fast enough!
The characters are well developed and likable. You feel yourself cheering them on as they race against the clock. The tension and conflict in this story were well placed. This puts the reader right into the story, holding their breath. The author’s use of sensory is done effectively. It brings the words on the page to life.
The faith aspect is interwoven effectively without sounding preachy.
I give Amish Christmas Escape five Christmas stars. If you like an action-packed story, grab your copy today!

Amish Christmas Escape
Amish Country Justice #12
By Dana R. Lynn
Christy O’Malley's life, and that of her daughter, is in danger. With nowhere to turn she reaches out to the husband that she left nearly seven years ago. Can Sam Burkholder and his simple Amish life keep them safe?
The people who want her dead are relentless and are just a step behind them but Sam is determined to keep both Christy and the daughter he never knew alive. But the more time he spends with Christy the greater his heartbreak will be when she walks out of his life again.
Amish Christmas Escape is the 12th book in the Amish Country Justice series by Dana R. Lynn. Though part of a series this book can be read as a standalone title though there are references to incidents in previous books.
This is a clean-reading romantic suspense that is an easy read. No graphic violence or rough language to offend. There are a few twists to keep it interesting. Overall I'd recommend this as a perfect weekend getaway-read. Mystery, suspense, romance, and a satisfying ending what more could you want?
I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I provide my honest opinion - all thoughts expressed are my own.

Amish Christmas Escape is book 12 in the Amish Country Justice series that is written by Dana R. Lynn. This book is also part of the Love Inspired Suspense line. I have not read all the books in the series, and had no problem following along. All of the books in the series can be read as stand alone books. I love all the suspense that the author puts into her books.
In this story we see Christy O'Malley scared for herself and daughter after her sister is murdered. She knows she needs to protect her, so she runs to her estranged husband, Sam Burkholder. Christy has had a sad and broken past. She is also English, Sam is Amish. Sam did not know he had a daughter - I love the element of secret child woven in. Sam and Christy have had a past, and he is shocked to see that he has a daughter. He wants to make sure that he can keep them both safe. He will have his work cut out for him, since there is non stop action and suspense.
The author has done a wonderful job with describing the scenes and setting that you can close your eyes and see it unfold around you. She has created likeable, realistic characters. The story is filled with action and suspense. I love the English vs Amish love story. The author did a great job handling that.

I am not one who normally likes Suspense novels, but the LOVE Inspired Suspense series of books is a wonderful series. Amish Christmas Escape by Dana R. Lynn is Book 12 in the Amish Country Justice series. I have read a few titles in the series and each one is a great Standalone book.
Christy O’Malley is fearful for her life and that of her 5yr old daughter. She was a witness to her sister's murder and believes the Killer is coming after her next. She makes the decision to return to Amish Country, the life she left behind a few years ago and also to her estranged husband Sam Burkholder. Sam is shocked to find out he has a 5yr old daughter. He knows that protecting Christy and his daughter is the right thing to do. Although, he is also still feeling "left out" due to Christy leaving the Amish Community. Will Sam make the choice to forgive and protect his family before it is too late? Will there be a reconciliation between Sam and Christy?
WOW, another GREAT book in this series. I really like how Christy seeks the safe option of the Amish Community when her life is in danger. Sam is a very secure man and even though he was shocked by the news of a daughter, he knew he had to make decisions without holding grudges. The many twists and turns in this book really keep me on the edge of my seat for most of the book. The author does a GREAT job of being descriptive during the suspenseful parts. The Faith aspect of the book is also well read! I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Amish Fiction, Suspense and Romance. FANTASTIC BOOK!

I don’t typically read Amish fiction anymore but I love this series and have read most of them now! This author has written 11 other Amish Country Justice romances, but they are all individual stories so you do not have to read them in any particular order.
I actually read this book in one night because I couldn’t put it down. There were some things that were predictable, other things that were not. Non stop action and running. I enjoyed getting to know the main character Christy and her daughter as they flee to Amish Country to find Sam, her former Amish husband. I liked reading about Sam, along with his siblings who are from previous books. I like the Amish community and their willingness to help others.
Clean Amish Christian fiction with a little bit of romance. Non-graphic violence. Great suspense, action and drama. Highly recommend this book and entire series.
I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.

Once again, Dana Lynn delivers
What would it be like to live in danger -- with a father who yells and threatens you? Horrible. Hard. Even harder when you have a five year old daughter.
And then you are on the run. The one person you can trust you haven't seen in six years, but he is your daughter's father.
Be prepared to be pulled into this desperate action thriller. There are soft moments. The little girl is a charmer. And feisty.
I am now in the progress of reading every book in this series. If you like Amish mysteries, then grab this one.

AMISH CHRISTMAS ESCAPE by Dana R. Lynn is the twelfth book in the Amish Country Justice series. It’s the fabulous, suspense filled story of Christina “Christy” O’Malley and Sam Burkholder, who’s past and present collide with one goal – protect Ellie, their 5-year-old daughter, from any and all dangers that keep coming - searching them out.
At 17 years old, Christy had fallen deeply in love with Sam. With the same feelings returned, they ended up lying about their age in order to get married. Extremely happy and just about to tell her husband that she was pregnant, her father found her destroying her happily ever after dream with threats to have Sam arrested for rape. Knowing her father’s power and that they weren’t empty threats, she left Sam without so much as a word as to why and before he even knew he was to about to become a father.
Sam was a young Amish man fighting within himself as to whether to be Amish or Englisch when he met Christy. He knew instantly that where ever his life took him, he wanted her by his side. When she sudden up and left him, he didn’t know what to do. Questioning if their marriage was legal, since they had lied about their age, kept drifting through his thoughts. He eventually returned home to Sutter Springs deciding that Amish was who he was and joined the church. At the same time, he took the vows he had taken to heart and never put himself in a position of dating or being involved with any other woman. Although he had never told anyone of Christy or his marriage, he knew in his heart she was the only woman for him convincing himself that he was content to be alone living to the best of his ability in his community.
Christy hated bringing her child up in the atmosphere surrounding everything in and about her father’s home - from the distant and overbearing attitude of her father and the hateful, demeaning actions of her step-mother. But she just couldn’t leave her sister, who had just survived cancer, there all alone. In her heart, she knew that the story of her later taking an overdose, were false, but she had no way to prove it or to get them all out of the house. For her sister - she stayed. When the threats her sister alluded to were evidence by her sister’s murder, she knew she had to get Ellie out. NOW!
Taking only the few things she could carry in two backpacks in her frantic race to escape, Christy and Ellie left in the middle of the night. But where were they going? The only person she had that she could trust was her husband – Sam. After the way she left, would he even be willing to help her. What was she going to think when he found out she had hidden the fact that he had a daughter? All she knew was she had to get to him and have him help protect their child – at all cost.
Shocked was putting it mildly when his cousin gave him the phone message that his “wife” had called and needed his help. Especially since no one knew he even had a wife. However, his love for the woman he knew had him dropping everything and hiring a driver to get to her. Christy didn’t have to tell him Ellie was his. The moment he saw her – he knew. He also knew the moment Christy told him the story that he would protect the both of them with his life. Barely making it to the driver’s car before they saw Christy’s car surrounded confirmed what she had told him. Hearing the fear in Ellie’s voice when she talked of her grandfather told him of the horrible man he was. His instant connection to his daughter and the love that poured out for her created a bond that he would let nothing come between.
How far will those men trying to find Christy go to see that she is caught and silenced? Will going back to Sutter Springs bring danger upon Sam’s family? While being with Sam’s family teach Christy what real family life is? What love and being loved feels like? How will seeing the man she loves injured, while protecting her, affect Christy’s judgement of what to do? Knowing they come from two different worlds, is it even possible for Christy and Sam to find a way to be together as real family? Seeing how happy Ellie is in the Amish community, how will Christy ever be able take her away from it? Will Christy’s father’s threats to harm those she loves rear its ugly head again? If she leaves again, will Sam’s reaction be the same? What will it take to live the happily ever after they both dream of?
AMISH CHRISTMAS ESCAPE is a heart-pumping story that will keep you quickly turning pages with danger around every corner while unquestionable love and comfort are given from an Amish community. Dana R. Lynn writes a story of second chances, overcoming evil, innocence of youth, and true love lasting the test time and unexpected circumstances. From the characters in the story to the reader, all that met Ellie will fall in love with her and pull for that happily ever after family for her. AMISH CHRISTMAS ESCAPE is most definitely a FIVE STAR book and I highly recommend it to everyone! Although part of a series, it can most definitely be read as a standalone book.

When the threats her sister alluded to were evidence by her sister’s murder, she knew she had to get Ellie out. NOW!
Taking only the few things she could carry in two backpacks in her frantic race to escape, Christy and Ellie left in the middle of the night. But where were they going? The only person she had that she could trust was her husband – Sam. After the way she left, would he even be willing to help her. What was she going to think when he found out she had hidden the fact that he had a daughter? All she knew was she had to get to him and have him help protect their child – at all cost.
Shocked was putting it mildly when his cousin gave him the phone message that his “wife” had called and needed his help. Especially since no one knew he even had a wife. However, his love for the woman he knew had him dropping everything and hiring a driver to get to her. Christy didn’t have to tell him Ellie was his. The moment he saw her – he knew. He also knew the moment Christy told him the story that he would protect the both of them with his life. Barely making it to the driver’s car before they saw Christy’s car surrounded confirmed what she had told him. Hearing the fear in Ellie’s voice when she talked of her grandfather told him of the horrible man he was. His instant connection to his daughter and the love that poured out for her created a bond that he would let nothing come between.
How far will those men trying to find Christy go to see that she is caught and silenced? Will going back to Sutter Springs bring danger upon Sam’s family? While being with Sam’s family teach Christy what real family life is? What love and being loved feels like? How will seeing the man she loves injured, while protecting her, affect Christy’s judgement of what to do? Knowing they come from two different worlds, is it even possible for Christy and Sam to find a way to be together as real family? Seeing how happy Ellie is in the Amish community, how will Christy ever be able take her away from it? Will Christy’s father’s threats to harm those she loves rear its ugly head again? If she leaves again, will Sam’s reaction be the same? What will it take to live the happily ever after they both dream of?
AMISH CHRISTMAS ESCAPE is a heart-pumping story that will keep you quickly turning pages with danger around every corner while unquestionable love and comfort are given from an Amish community. Dana R. Lynn writes a story of second chances, overcoming evil, innocence of youth, and true love lasting the test time and unexpected circumstances. From the characters in the story to the reader, all that met Ellie will fall in love with her and pull for that happily ever after family for her. AMISH CHRISTMAS ESCAPE is most definitely a FIVE STAR book and I highly recommend it to everyone! Although part of a series, it can most definitely be read as a standalone book.
I receive a copy of this book with no requirement or expectations of a review. All opinions are completely my own.

Terrific book. The action and suspense started right away and rarely let up throughout the book. We've met Sam and his brothers in previous books, where Sam's reluctance to marry puzzles his family. In this book, we learn that he may already be married. When he was seventeen, and on his rumspringa, Sam met and fell in love with an Englisch girl. They married, but his bride disappeared without a trace in a few days. Now Sam is in limbo regarding his options.
Seven years earlier, Christy met and married the love of her life while rebelling from her father's control. Before she and Sam could escape to his parents' home, Christy's father found her. By threatening Sam's life and family, her dad ensured her cooperation. It wasn't until later that Christy discovered she was pregnant. Kept under control by her father's threats and later by her sister's illness, Christy hasn't contacted Sam to tell him he's a father.
The story opens with a disturbing conversation between Christy and her sister Joanne. Joanne has been in a coma, so Christy is shocked and elated when Joanne speaks to her. That joy turns to fear and dismay when Joanne tells her to take Ellie and run because their lives are in danger. Later that night, Christy witnesses Joanne's murder and overhears the murderers talking. Fearing for their lives, she immediately grabs Ellie and some supplies and runs, but not before she's spotted and shot at.
A few hours later, Sam's shock at receiving a message from "his wife" sends him rushing to the town where they met. His shock doubles when he gets a look at Ellie and realizes he's a father. Unwilling to leave them in danger but knowing that his life is about to become very complicated, Sam plans to take them back to his family. Their plans take a sudden turn when they are attacked and run off the road.
Thus began a story of many twists and turns as Sam, Christy, and Ellie attempt to escape the people determined to stop them. It seemed that every time they thought they were safe, the bad guys would find them again. Though I'm surprised they didn't make the connection of how it happened, I'll give them the fact that their minds were more on getting away. There were plenty of surprises, from Sam's willingness to involve the police to the truth behind the attacks. What appeared to be the final confrontation left questions unanswered and opened the door to an unexpected twist at the end.
I loved seeing the rekindling of the relationship between Sam and Christy. They met and married when both were young, idealistic, and rebelling against their current lives. Who knows what would have happened if they'd been able to stay together. In the seven years since they parted, both experienced life-changing events that matured them. When Sam and Christy meet again, their old feelings don't take long to resurface. However, both are well aware of the obstacles between them. Sam is Amish and has no intention of leaving his faith behind. Christy is decidedly Englisch, used to a more worldly lifestyle. She also left her faith behind her many years earlier, though the more time she spent with Sam, the more she felt it begin to return. I loved watching them get to know and appreciate the adult versions of each other. I especially liked Sam's appreciation of Christy's strength and resilience.
My heart ached for both of them when everything was over, and they parted ways. Sam couldn't see a way forward without Christy leaving everything behind, and he refused to ask that of her. Christy had a lot of soul-searching to do, and I loved following her thought processes as she did so. While I wasn't surprised at her decision, I loved how she carried it out.
I enjoyed catching up with Sam's brothers and their wives. Each of them plays an essential role in this book, too. There were a couple of other familiar faces, and I look forward to seeing if they show up again.

I love Danna R. Lynn Amish Romantic Suspenses! They’re so captivating that I can almost read them in one sitting, when I have enough free time! They can be read as standalones, but I like to revisit with Sam’s brother’s and their wives, his family and close community.
Christy O’Malley is assisting her sister who is on coma, when suddenly she wakes up and tells her to run for her life with her daughter Ellie, because their lives are in peril. After she witnesses her sister’s murder, she is shocked and can barely get away with Ellie. Where to turn to? Her best and almost only option is to turn to Sam Burkholder, her estranged husband, they got married on a whim in a rebellious moments of each other’s lives. Christy had to leave Sam because her father found her and threatened her and Sam, without Sam knowing. So she left Sam without saying goodbye. She later realized she was pregnant and had Ellie, but she never got the chance to contact Sam, until this desperate moment. After an unexpected phone call, Sam goes to meet Christy and is shocked at what he sees, he has a daughter! And he has missed five years of her life. She is so sweet, he is immediately drawn to her with a strong bond. And he has to admit he’s not indifferent to Christy. He never married, because he never forgot her. But know he has to protect this two precious gifts. Can he overcome his pride and forgive Christy for leaving and keeping him in secret about his daughter? They are many menaces as her sister’s murderers target her, and they have to hide and escape more than once. There was lots of action and suspense in this story, I couldn’t put it down! L ways trying to guess who and where would attack them next! I loved how their loved rekindled, until it became strong and deep. But an abyss still separates them. Sam is Amish and always will be, and Christy is an Englischer, and he can’t ask her to give up her worldly life for him. But can she do that if she loves him? Can the small family be together in a permanent way!
I loved the plots and twists, the sweet romance between the characters, the faith elements, especially how Christy finds God again and learns to trust Him with his life. The ending is beautiful and satisfying!
I really recommend this book and the whole series, even if I haven’t read the first ones, I hope I will soon!
A great read with an inspiring message!
I received a complimentary copy of the book from the author but wasn’t required to post a positive review. This is my honest and unbiased opinion.

Amish Christmas Escape by Dana R. Lynn
(Amish Country Justice Book 12)
Hiding in Amish country
may not be enough to save her…
In a killer’s sights after she witnesses her sister’s murder, Christy O’Malley’s only option is to flee to Amish country—and the estranged husband she left behind. But there’s something Sam Burkholder doesn’t know—they have a daughter. With enemies closing in, Sam will do anything to protect Christy and their little girl…but can he forgive the past for a chance to be a family for Christmas?
This is Christy O’Malley and daughter Ellie and Sam Burkholder's story.
“You can take a break.” Christina O’Malley, known as Christy to her family, smiled at the evening nurse. “I’ll sit with her for a few minutes.”
The woman frowned for a second before nodding and vacating her seat beside her patient. Christy waited until the nurse had left her sister’s bedroom before slipping into the chair beside the bed.
The door closed. Christy sank back against the cushion and closed her eyes. Something about the woman made her teeth ache. She was forever asking questions. They sounded like casual chatter, but Christy couldn’t shake the feeling that there was something deeper than idle curiosity.

"Sam,you have a call." ADELE GRINNED UP AT HIM.
Sam Burkholder half turned his body on the ladder and raised an eyebrow at his cousin. "I have a phone call. "
Had he ever received a call before? As an amish man he'd grown up with no phone in the haus.
The bed and breakfast his onkel ran had a phone, but only because it was a business that catered to Englischers.
I recommend reading.
Amish Christmas Escape by Dana R. Lynn is a wonderful well written 5 star book.
I am looking forward to reading more books by Dana R. Lynn.

One of my holiday traditions is to read Christmas novels during the Christmas season, and Amish Christmas Escape was one of my picks this year. I have enjoyed the few books I’ve read in the Amish Country Justice series, and this novel was no exception. Each book can be read as a standalone, though they each have similar flavors and vibes, which is why I felt like I was reading a story that I’ve read before.
There were a few interesting tidbits that did amplify the mystery and suspense, which I greatly appreciated. Christy and her mysterious family history, plus the whole unexplained reason why she’s been chased in the first place, fueled the mysterious fire. What type of person would chase after a woman, and attempt to murder her, while she is with a young child?!
The sweet and tender chemistry between Sam and Christy added to my reading enjoyment. Though the situation wasn’t ideal it did lead to truths being revealed and past hurts being forgiven. I loved seeing their relationship blossom, and felt it was the perfect addition to the suspense. The fact that this is a clean read did not diminish the mystery, and was a pretty quick read, especially the more I read and became more vested in the characters.
Amish Christmas Escape is the perfect weekend read and a wonderful addition to this sweet, suspenseful Amish series.
*I have voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book which I received from the author/publisher. All views and opinions expressed are completely honest, and my own.

This has been one of my favorite books this year and one of my favorite in this series. I did not want to put this book down until I knew what happened to Christy, Ellie and Sam. There were many twists and turns that had me guessing as to what was going to happen next. I felt that there were some very interesting twists with some of the characters. I definitely was not sure how this book would turn out. I received a copy of this book from the author for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will.

Christy and her sister Joanne have been afraid of their father for a long time. They really don't care for his new wife Vanessa either.
As I am writing this review it seems like almost every line I started could end up being a spoiler. So let me just say this. This is one of those books that will get your attention at the beginning, keep your attention the whole way through the book. It will tug at your emotions, you will feel Christy's pain, her joy.
I fell in love with the characters, especially Sam. Check out the book. I think you will enjoy it as much as I did.

Amish Christmas Escape was such an amazing book from start to finish!! It took me a little while to be able to write a review on it sadly. But I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a good thriller, romance, faith, and suspense book. Every single chapter was something new and never boring. It kept along with the storyline greatly while adding more to the story as the chapters went along. I love all of Dana’s books and I highly recommend her there’s not been a single one I don’t like. Keep up the great work Dana!! ⭐️⭐️

Two words: Amish and Christmas.
They are two of my favorite things. The only way to improve the title of the book would be to add the word Cat to it.
I sadly never heard of this author before. Then I stumbled upon this book in a Little Free Library. Well, now I’m hooked!!!
Very exciting book. Very suspenseful. But when these two book traits join forces with Amish it changes it up. In a good way.
This was my first Amish meets Suspense and it was a perfect marriage. Absolute perfection.

I just completed reading this book and WOW! Dana R. Lynn certainly knows how to pull the reader into a story. I am not a fan of deep mystery but intrigue is always good. This story is about Christy and Sam and Ellie and journey to escape harm. Amish Christmas Escape is such a wonderful story of lost love found, new beginnings and how things can be misconceived. Once you start reading you just keep turning the page. Do not skip this book.

Returning books to the library today and had this waiting for me. I took it to my doctor's appointment and read almost 50 pages waiting to be called. So, I think I will finish this before going back to reading Wreck the Halls! It was an OK story - pretty predictable as to what would happen next! It was a super fast one to read - did it in a day!
