"I loved joining Rose and Noah during their journey in the Temptation series by Karen Hopkins."-Katie McGarry, acclaimed YA author
Karen Ann Hopkins resides in northern Kentucky with her family on a farm that boasts a menagerie of horses, goats, sheep, peacocks, chickens, ducks, rabbits, pigs, dogs, and cats. Karen rescues and fosters a variety of pets and farm animals, but she also finds time to give riding lessons, coach a youth equestrian drill team, and of course, write. She was inspired to create her first book, Temptation, by the Amish community she lives in. The experiential knowledge she gained through her interactions with her neighbors drove her to create the story of the star-crossed lovers, Rose and Noah.
Karen grew up about a mile from Lake Ontario in Upstate New York. She was bitten by the horse bug at the age of five, and after diligently taking riding lessons for several years, she was rewarded with her first horse at the age of eleven. The feisty horse's name was Lady, a Quarter Horse-Thoroughbred cross, who became Karen's steadfast companion. Through the years, the constant force in her life was horses. Eventually, Karen found her place as a riding instructor herself. Before accepting her fate in the barnyard, she worked a short stint as a paralegal, traveled abroad, and guided tourists on horseback riding tours in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee.
Karen is currently working on her two interconnecting mystery/crime fiction series, Serenity's Plain Secrets and Possum Gap, along with several new projects.

One love. Two different worlds.
Willow Creek tells the love story between Katie, a farm girl, and Rowan, an Amish boy who worked for her father.
Our thanks to the author, One More Chapter, and NetGalley for the advanced reader's copy.
Rowan and Katie first met when they were sixteen and were infatuated with one another. But her father found them out and expelled the boy from their property.
Years later, her father recently deceased, Rowan returns to Katie's ranch to help train some horses and save her property.
Aww, the beauty of young love!
This book was such a sweet read. Rowan and Katie were so profoundly connected by disposition and love, but so far apart culturally. It was beautiful to see them dealing with the gaps and slowly building the bridges.
The story is also full of horses, and although I must confess I only rode a horse once or twice in my entire life, I just love them. They are so intelligent and sensitive.
This is my first time reading an Amish romance, and it was so fascinating to learn more about their way of life.
I can't imagine how hard it must be for someone to leave everything and everyone they know. To have to choose between family and romantic love. What an impossible decision it must be.
I read this book in one sitting. Simply lovely!

I loved Karen Ann Hopkins's Crossroads duology, so when I saw this romance I had to read it. There were some similarities between with the forbidden romance with an Amish man. This author does a great job with the forbidden romance theme. I also enjoyed the side plot involving Rowan's sister Rebecca. I did think that Katie's mother's change of heart about some things at one point in the book came off as a bit too abrupt, but overall I enjoyed this book.

Rowan an Amish boy works with horses for a man called Charlie. Charlie has a daughter named Katie who he has warned Rowan to stay away from, though he likes her he listens to his boss and stays away.
Katie has been looking at Rowan since he arrived and doesn't understand why he ignores her. One night during a storm the sparks fly with a first kiss, unfortunately dear old dad interrupts and fires Rowan.
Years later the farm is in trouble, her dad is dead and in order to keep from loosing everything the horses need to be trained and sold. Reenter Rowan who can hopefully train them well enough to get the big money. Will romance bloom or will they long from afar?
Oh how I love anything Amish, mix that with a romance and I'm sold. This book had my emotions all over the place, the will they won't they, the possible shunning, rebellion and worry over family. I need a book with Rowans sister Rebecca ASAP!

The reader is first introduced to Katie and Rowan when they share their first kiss at the tender age of sixteen. Unfortunately, Katie’s father catches the pair and orders Rowan never to return.
The two teens go their separate ways, but years later, when Katie’s father dies, she needs Rowan’s assistance to help save her family farm.
The spark between Katie and Rowan never died, and their feelings for one another once again bubble to the surface. But the relationship is complicated with Katie being English and Rowan Amish.
The only way for them to be together is for one of them to make a complete lifestyle change. But which one will it be? And what will they have to sacrifice for it to happen?
‘Willow Creek’ is categorized as Romance/Women’s Fiction, but the characters' mannerisms and behaviors suggest that they fall into the New Adult group.
Early on, the names Rebecca and Abe are used, and as an avid ‘Breaking Amish’ lover (US T.V series), it threw me a bit. I kept imagining the characters from the T.V show. Anyone who is not familiar with the series won’t have the same issue as I did.
This novel is a slow burn romance, and the author did a great job making me wait for any action between the pair. When the first sex scene finally came around, I was hoping it would be told more from Rowan’s perspective. Katie is not a virgin, but Rowan is. It would have been the perfect opportunity to express his internal conflict when having unprotected sex while unmarried and living an Amish lifestyle.
There comes the point when both characters consider dating other people, and I thought that this plot point was going to cause more drama than it did. I wanted to see more friction between Rowan and the Bishop after Rowan gives him the impression that he is courting his daughter.
I also felt like there was unfinished business with Rowan’s sister Rebecca. Perhaps she will get a story of her own.
Overall it was an okay story, but it hasn’t deterred me from reading another Karen Anne Hopkins book in the future.

Thank you, Netgalley and HarperCollins UK, One More Chapter.

The cover has a really warm inviting cover and makes you want to know more about the couple sat at the waters edge. I’d say it would make me pick it up from a bookstore shelf to take a look at the blurb. Being totally honest I have read other books by this author so I would always check out anything she released too!
The book begins with a prologue and a young girl called Katie Porter taking a tumble from her horse during a storm. As she is attempting to calm her horse a young man approaches to help called Rowan Coblentz, he works at her parent’s farm/horse business, Katie has a serious crush on Rowan the handsome looking Amish boy even though he has always been quite stand-off-ish towards her. So, Katie doesn’t really want to accept any help from him but ends up having to do so as Rowan has her ride his horse back to the farm and he takes her still slightly skittish horse. When they arrive back at the barn, they share a moment and end up kissing, then Charlie walks in on them and sacks Rowan on the spot, telling him to never come back.
Then the actual book begins and is set 6 years later, Charlie Porter is in a car crash with the woman he is cheating on his wife, Anne with. The woman lives and Charlie dies leaving wife Anne, and daughter Katie alone on the farm/horse business. Charlie has also left them with a lot of debt, behind in payments etc. Katie has hurt her arm and is unable to break the new horses in time for the auction. Katie knows that the horses need to bring a decent price if they want to hold onto their home. Katie calls the Coblentz farm and speaks to Rowan, offering him the job of getting the horses ready for sale. This fits in with Rowans need to earn some extra money to help his sister Rebecca. To say Rebecca isn’t fond of the Amish way of life is an understatement. Her dream is to be an artist and live the English way. Rowan is worried for his sister though agrees to help her leave with some money to get started in a new life with. Others have left the Amish and most fail, but Rebecca is determined to leave and show she can survive as an English person. Rebecca doesn’t eat much, and tries to keep her head down, she is a loner but others in the Amish community do not include her so she really is a lonely figure in this book. Rebecca however is very astute and more or less tells Rowan to choose wisely when his time comes.
Of course, old feelings soon re-emerge between Katie and Rowan, just when things look to be going well between them Katies mum Anne tells her about the Amish man she herself dated and how it broke her heart before she married Charlie. It was a mixture of sadness and irony that at first made it look like history could possibly repeat itself. Consequently, this sets Katie in the mindset that Rowan just wants some sort of fling before he settles for a quiet Amish wife and family. There are misunderstandings on both side, and that’s all I am going to say really, you honestly need to read this book!! Things soon become even more complicated for Rowan when the Bishops own daughter, Miriam sets her sights on him becoming her husband.
My favourite characters were of course Katie, Rowan, Rebecca and Nathaniel. I adored how Katie could be so naïve and mushy over Rowan one minute, yet at the same time be a confident, powerful business woman the next. Rowan really reminded me of Noah a character from Karen Ann Hopkins Temptation series. I had mixed feelings throughout the book on Rebecca, I wanted her to be happy which for her meant leaving the Amish, however I worried something really bad would happen if she did leave. I immediately fell in love with Nathaniel, Rowan’s younger brother, there’s a specific scene nearer the end of the book where he runs up and hugs his older brother despite the probability of being punished for doing so. Another great moment happens at the horse sale between Anne and Katie concerning the sale of Remington.
My first thoughts upon finishing reading this book were that this was another amazing book about Amish & English love. Wonder if we will hear more from this world? Perhaps about Rebecca? Rowan reminded me of Noah, the innocence, determination & passion of the Amish men that fall in love with English women ....
To sum up I absolutely adored cosying up and reading this book. I thought the book felt like a quick read with chapters from the point of views of Katie and Rowan. I am really looking forward to more from this series, I hadn’t realised how much I had missed reading about Amish/English love. I still find the Amish culture and way of living fascinating.

Rowan and Katie may be neighbors but their worlds couldn’t be further apart! Rowan is Amish and proud to live that life, it’s everything he’s ever wanted... except for Katie.
Katie is happy to live her life, she’s struggling with her dads recent death and the fact that he left her and her mom in debt, for that reason she needs Rowans help.
Katie is very attracted to Rowan, but she know it can never be.
This book is told alternating between Rowan and Katie’s points of view and told from two different perspectives, which I found very interesting, I kept wondering which one would make the sacrifice to give up everything they have ever known or would walking away from each other be the ultimate sacrifice.
I enjoyed this book and the two perspectives it gave.
While this is my first book by this author, it won’t be my last !

Katie and Rowan had a spark from the first time they laid eyes on each other. The two come from opposite upbringings and had parents who were pushing them apart. Katie’s mom and Rowan’s dad were the beginning of this pairs love circle. Growing up, Rowan’s dad was unable to leave the Amish community to be with Katie’s mom. It seems fitting that the family history repeats itself in this heart warming love story.
When Katie’s father dies unexpectedly, she is faced with tough decisions to save the family ranch. She swallows her pride and asks a local Amish boy, Rowan for help training colts to sell at an upcoming auction. This Amish boy had Katie’s heart fluttering for years and she haven’t even seen him or spoken to him in the same amount of time.
Rowan has an ability to train horses like no one around. His skills allows him an opportunity to win the heart of a girl he’s been dreaming of for years. He readily accepts her offer for the extra cash and extra time around his soon to be girl.
This story was so fun to read. I was rooting for the pair (even though you know they will be together before you hit chapter 2) throughout the whole book. I kept waiting for them to finally give into their feelings for each other.
I do wish there was more closure with Rowan’s sister Rebecca and family. I think there could have been a bit less build up to the proposal and pages given to a “5 years later.” I really enjoyed the two perspective writing so you could get some of the feelings from both Rowan and Katie. Overall, this was a sweet read with just enough lust to keep you reading. 4/5 stars for me.

Willow Creek by Karen Ann Hopkins is a touching story of a forbidden love between an Amish man and an "English" woman. It is fraught with guilt, disappointment, and change as Rowan and Katie navigate their romance. Rowan's sister, Rebecca is also a major part of the story as she struggles with depression in a society that does not recognize such and prescribes Bible study as a solution. She is spiraling into alcohol, drugs, and sex as Rowan and Katie struggle to help her. Roam struggle mightily with his conscience as he tries to forget Katie and court an Amish girl. It turns out there is ancient history within the families as well. It is a heart-wrenching story.
Katie is a modern woman who has just lost her father and is struggling with her mother who has MS and is adjusting to the death of her husband. She is working two jobs to keep them afloat and her desperation shows as she recruits Rowan to train her horses so they can be sold, and potentially pull them from looming financial catastrophe. It is a courageous move as they have a history, but she sees no alternative. She is a well-written character who makes not demands on Rowan but is always there for him. Rowan is a good-looking man who earns his muscle from hard work, not hours in the gym. He is intelligent and respectful of his parents and his community. He wants to do they right thing; he just doesn't always know what that is. It is a good story. One for a lazy Sunday afternoon. I recommend it.

I would like to give a big thank you to author Karen Ann Hopkins, One More Chapter, and NetGalley for a free
e-book of this book in exchange for an honest review. What drew me to this book initial was the forbidden romance of this story. I have always been fascinated with the Amish. The characters drew me into their world right away. While early on in the book I knew the main couple were going to get together, it was still an enjoyable journey to take with them. I loved how much they really were meant to be together despite their differences in cultures. Like all couples that faced impossible choices, I believe the author did a wonderful job making the characters out to be mature and willing to ask the hard questions no matter the fear of the answers might bring. The pacing of this book was well done. I did not really feel bored at any point of the story. I was able to finish this book pretty satisfied except for Rebecca's story arc was kinda left unfinished. I would have liked to see how the sister turned out a couple of years down the road. Maybe Rebecca will get her own book sometime in the future. Overall, I would recommend this book to those who love Amish romance books. I look forward to reading more books by this author,

Told alternately by Katie and Rowan, this is a love story about two people from different cultures whose parents also faced the same decisions. Rowan is Amish, Katie is English. His father loved her mother but didn't feel he could leave their community. Now, though, Katie's father, who hired Rowan when they were teens to help out on their farm, has died and Katie's overwhelmed. She hires Rowan to help train her horses. They might have been each other's first kiss as teens but they are adults now and have to look at things from an adult perspective-to be together, one of them must make a total lifestyle change. No spoilers from me! Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. It's a good read with sympathetic characters; you'll definitely have an opinion about what they should do.

Sweet Story with Legitimate Issues
I’ve read the Temptation series, which centers around an Amish man and an English woman, trying to figure out how to be together. This story was much less angsty but no less enjoyable. With that series, there was always the question of what world they would end up in, and the choice seemed more difficult. In this one, the choice was more obvious as what would be better. I think part of the difference is that our OTP loved each other for 7 years before facing the question and settling into one life seemed to make much more sense because we spent very little time in the other.
Both couples are likeable and have relationships and are people you root for. There was a maturity with Rowan and Katie that came from not being high school age. (A plus!) But in both cases, the OTP’s connection and devotion to each other brought a smile to my face. Rowan definitely gave me the feels and I was rooting for their HEA from the beginning. There were some really nice moments.
One of the things that both series touched on was the restrictive nature of the community and how that can negatively affect its members. I don’t think it’s particular to or an indictment of the Amish, rather highlighting a struggle that a staunch, restrictive faith can have, whether Christian, Jewish, Muslim or something else. Ironically, these are also staunchly patriarchal in their power system and rules, so women get the short end of the stick. It illustrates how this inflexibility can be particularly problematic when dealing with something like mental illness.
While the Temptation series highlighted more the arrogance that can come out of pride, after all a lot of Rose and Noah’s challenges come from the ‘wise adults’ and their inflexible control over their charges. (And this in a culture that restricts apparel and other things for the sake of humility.) This book has those dynamics, too, but it highlights more the self-righteous lack of empathy staunch religious pride can bring. Rowan’s sister, Rebecca, suffers from depression and their rules and mindset lead even her own parents to write her off as bad rather than try to compassionately help her. It was her spiritual and character flaws rather than an illness that led her to act so. Their pride gives them an excuse not to blame themselves when she ultimately will fail. Only Rowan and Katie seem to treat her with compassion or kindness. They do more than ignore her or talk at her.
Yes, I do think that Rebecca is somewhat manipulative, but it’s not out of malice. Rather, her needs were neglected and her actions demonized for so long that she was manipulative to protect herself. A different environment would have curtailed the extent of it. It goes to show how these types of actions without love to temper them are empty and wrong.
All in all, an enjoyable read that left me with a smile on my face. Also, never expected to see an Amish man start a bar fight on accident.
Note: I was a bit surprised by how much more explicit the references to/description of their doing the deed, especially in an Amish romance, so be warned that you may want to skip some pages to avoid it.

This was a decent steady paced romance. I was pulled in right from the prologue.
Since this is categorized as romance/women’s fiction, I was expecting the characters to be a little older than 22 when they get reunited. It felt more like a young adult/new adult novel.
Other than that, I thought this was good. Nothing surprising or special. Just a good heartwarming story about family and love and sacrifice.
I’ve always enjoyed books surrounding the Amish. I love seeing how each author interprets their thoughts and traditions. I really like when an author makes me question what I think is right and wrong. The grey areas, if you will. I thought Rowans character was great for this. Especially surrounding Rebecca’s situation. This is a sign of good writing. Letting us see a different way of thinking and getting our brains working. Great job.
The relationship was a nice slow burn as they each worked through their own internal issues. The changing point of view style of writing worked well. I liked seeing into both their heads.
Overall, a great balance of sweet and heavy subject matter. I will most likely be picking up another novel by Karen Ann Hopkins.
Thank you NetGalley and publisher for a copy of this book. All thoughts are my own.

“Willow Creek” by Karen Ann Hopkins follows Katie Colter. Katie’s family owns a horse farm and her family hires a local Amish boy to help train the horses. After being caught in a forbidden kiss, her parents banish Rowan away. Now years later, Katie’s father has passed away and the farm is struggling. Katie strikes a deal with Rowan to train the horses, but is there something more there? Or are they both living in the romance idea of a childhood kiss?
Amish books are not typically my book of choice, but this book was an interesting mix of Amish and English life. Rowan brings one perspective and Katie brings another, so the miscommunication and breakdowns are fully viewed from both perspectives. It’s interesting to see who is willing to give up their world for love and why or why not.
I felt like this book was a pleasant surprise. It was a slow burn that repeatedly left me questioning what would happen next with the relationship. With such a back and forth of emotion it makes you question which route would be easier or which route would be worth the risk.
Overall, I was wrapped up in this brilliant world. I gave the book 4 stars and would definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a slow burn romance.

Katie Porter’s first kiss, at the tender age of sixteen, was with Rowan Coblentz. Rowan was an Amish teen who was working on her father’s ranch, but her father ordered him to stay away. Rowan knew that there could be nothing between him and Katie, but he was entranced with her from the very first. Years later, Katie’s father is dead and they are in jeopardy of losing the ranch. Her only hope is to have Rowan train the horses for sale, but will he agree? Katie has never forgotten the feelings she had for Rowan and having him back on the ranch has made her realize how much she still cares for him. Rowan knows that any relationship with her could mean being shunned by his family. Can he give up his family and faith for Katie? A pleasant romance about young love and second chances. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review. (by paytonpuppy)

I received a complimentary copy of Willow Creek in exchange for an honest review. This was my first time reading a novel involving an Amish character. It was a fascinating read, and had me wondering several times where this relationship would go.
Katie was not my favorite character, and I'm not sure why Rowan thought it would be worthwhile to pursue her given all of the sacrifices he would need to make if he wanted to be with Katie. Overall, I was glad I read this book and would recommend it to friends and family.

Not your typical romance!
Very happy to have found this Author! This is is the first book I've read by Karen Ann Hopkins, but it won't be the last!
I love not binge my able to figure out how a book will end, and didn't know if this one would have a happy ending or not, but I won't put a spoiler in my review! You'll have to read it to find out!
As I said it's not your typical boy meets girl and lives happily ever after! It's very well written with some unexpected twists!
I look forward to reading more by Ms. Hopkins!

Karen Ann Hopkins encapsulate the true meaning of the word love in this incredible book Willow Creek.
Rowan is Amish, devoted to his family and community yet the beauty of an English woman he met as teenager has caught his eye.
Katie isn't sure she can trust her feelings - she knows she could never became Amish.
These issues seem insurmountable.

Really a sweet story about love and hard choices. I always enjoy this type of novel after reading another thriller, or WWII (real or fiction)
I think this is one that is more realistic than the usual romantic novel, but of course lots more to come in the life ahead.

2.5 Stars
I have no problem with a synopsis that is vague or mysterious - one that leaves you with questions about what you’re going to be reading.
What I do have a problem with is a misleading one - one that tells you one thing, but entirely different things happen. The first part of the synopsis for Willow Creek seems like it was written by someone who didn’t even read the prologue: the heroine’s life wasn’t saved in a storm (she needed help, but her life wasn’t in danger), she didn’t kiss the hero (he kissed her), and saying they were lovers is a gross exaggeration - they had hardly even spoken to each other and kissed only once before the heroine’s father caught them together.
These discrepancies probably shouldn’t bother me. BUT...they do. And to start off a book kinda cranky because of a synopsis that is inaccurate is not a good thing.
Anyway...moving on.
Sixteen year old Rowan was hired by neighbor Charlie to help train his horses and spent six months doing his best to not pay any attention to Katie, Charlie’s sixteen year old daughter. When Charlie catches Rowan kissing Katie, he banishes Rowan from the farm.
Six years later, Charlie has died in a car accident and Katie is facing a dire financial situation. She turns to the one person who might be able to train all the horses in time for them to be sold so they can save her home and farm.
When Rowan arrives to train the horses, his attraction to Katie is alive and as strong as it ever was. And Katie, despite doing her best to forget the boy who captured her heart after one kiss, still longs to be with Rowan. But Rowan is Amish and a relationship between them wouldn’t be accepted by Rowan’s family or community.
The problem with these characters (in my opinion, for whatever that’s worth) is that they are young - 22 years old - and behave like it. They spend half the book mad at each other because they keep making out after letting their hormones take over. We get lots and lots of repeated inner monologue about how they can’t be together because he’s Amish and she’s English.
This story could have been far more compelling if it showed more relationship development (on an emotional level, not just the physical) and Katie and Rowan focused on the consequences of them being together, instead of constantly getting angry and jealous. They truly did come from different worlds and that is a legitimate reason to have conflict. I would have liked to see Katie spend time in selfless contemplation, realizing what it would mean for Rowan to leave his community, or maybe even consider (GASP) whether or not she could become Amish. All this couple did was make things more difficult for themselves because of their behavior. Which...I know...is probably not unrealistic for two people who are 22 years old. But for this reader it just caused frustration.
Yet, things weren’t all bad with this book. I’ve been DNFing left and right this past month - not sure if it’s the books I’m reading, my mood, or a combo of both. Whatever the deal, I was interested enough in this story to finish it in just a couple nights. So that’s a good thing!

There were things I really liked about this book and things I didn’t.
First off - I was expecting a clean read, typically Amish books are, and this is not one of them. This falls more into the romance genre than Christian genre. I tried to skip through some scenes as best as I could, and there were times I missed some important dialogue by doing so.
I liked the premise of his world vs hers and the forbidden love aspect. How many times have we longed for something we couldn’t have?
At first I was really annoyed by how they treated each other and how they seemed to blow up at each other and overreact and once the author reminded me a couple of times that they were only 22, I dawned on me this was a maturity issue. Once I recognised that, I was able to move on past the annoyance for the most part.
I didn’t really like Katie much through the first ¾ of the book. It seemed like Rowan was doing all the giving and she was doing all of the taking. There didn’t seem to be much of an acknowledgement that Rowan was contemplating giving up his entire life for her. I liked his chapters the best.
I wish there had been more dialogue between them, delving deeper into who they are and more into the issues they faced as a couple and less focus on their attraction to each other.
I’m curious if there will be a sequel to this for Rebecca. I wasn't sure what to think about her character. I’m not sure how I liked how her mental illness (depression) was portrayed. I’m not sure if she was completely depressed and felt hopeless or if she was just being manipulative and based on what the author wrote, I’m not sure if she knew either.

WARNING this book is not a Christian book. This book does talk about God and yes has amish but would definitely not fall under a clean read. There is sexual content in this book. The story was ok, not for me. The story is a strong read it deals with death, affairs, drugs and mental health, for some people everyday life, so I will so that it was very life like. I did like Rowan he had such a big heart and he wanted what was best for those he loved. He also wanted to do what his heart wanted. I liked Katie but she was also a hot mess and in some moments she came off very mature then came off as a spoiled child. Over all the story was an ok read this book was a quick read. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Thank you very much for sending me a copy of this book!
This was such a sweet romance, I really did enjoy my afternoon with it. It hit all the right beats. Both of the main characters were charming, believable, and engaging. The conflicts weren't cringe or out of place, and in many instances, improved the overall reading experience. Spice meter was a 3: very sexy, love me some forbidden romance. Definitely worth checking out!

good read
I’ve read many of Karen’s books and really like her style. I read 3-4 books a week and am always happy with her stories. This one is a simply beautiful romance with a HEA. Nice blend of angst and happiness.

Predictable
Enjoyed the story but poor grammar with lots of words missing, needed better proof reading. Very predictable story but persevered with it.
