The Story:
A mysterious outsider casts a long shadow on Ohio's Amish country. Policewoman Rachel Troyer has always looked after her three elderly Amish aunts, proprietors of a farmhouse inn near Sugarcreek, Ohio. The idyllic town is popular with tourists, who come to sample its famous Amish goods. But one thing is clear to Rachel - Joe Matthews is no tourist. When the bearded stranger lands on her aunts' doorstep, begging shelter for himself and his young son, Rachel is suspicious. Will she be able to uncover Joe's secrets despite her aunts' - and her own - growing affection for him?


My Thoughts:
Now that I've read almost all of Serena B. Miller's Amish books, I can safely say that she's a favorite author of mine when it comes to Plain fiction. Love Finds You in Sugarcreek, Ohio, was her debut novel with Summerside Press in 2010. I can see why she's so popular. LFYI Sugarcreek, Ohio, is a great mix of contemporary romance and Amish fiction that will please the most picky readers.

Rachel Troyer, a policewoman with roots deep in the Amish community of Sugarcreek, does her best to look out for her elderly aunts. She persuades them to close their Amish bed and breakfast and to retire to a quieter, less busy life. Little does she know that the last guest to step foot on the farm will have such an impact on all their lives.

Joe Matthews and his toddler son are running -- from a life of crime or just a troubled past, Rachel has no idea. She just knows that something isn't right where Joe is concerned. Proving himself worthy of Rachel's trust is a lot more difficult than making friends with her elderly aunts. Joe wants to leave his past behind, but it threatens to pop up at every turn. Joe, his peaceful life, and his new found friends could be in danger.


Just as she has in all the books that have followed this one, Ms. Miller has created characters that are both likable and three dimensional. I found myself nodding my head and smiling when Rachel went toe to toe with her elderly aunts. I certainly know what it's like to live with stubborn family members! Rachel's story is full of authentic Amish country detail mixed with a tad bit of mystery to keep things interesting.

LFYI Sugarcreek, Ohio, is a great choice for romance fans even if you're not necessarily a fan of Christian or Amish fiction. If the upcoming TV movie is half as good as the book, it'll be well worth the watch! Enjoy!
