Kauffman Amish Bakery

review 1: While she is happy that her friends Lindsay and Lizzie Anne have found love, Katie Kauffman can't help but feel left out as she has yet to find true love. That seems to change as she grows closer to Jake Yoder while he is renovating the display cases at the Kauffman Amish Bakery. Jake seems to feel the same way about Katie but their love has a major problem - Katie is Amish, Jake is Mennonite and their love is forbidden. Will Katie and Jake have to sacrifice everything in order to follow God's path?"A Season of Love", the fifth and final book in Amy Clipston's Kauffman Amish Bakery series and it is a fitting end to the series. Clipston's book is not just a romance novel but an insightful look into the Amish way of life including the sometimes harsh rules the Amish have to ... morelive by (Katie's father made me angry more than once). Clipston does an excellent job with Katie's character and she is a very believable character as she often feels like a fifth wheel when her friends find love and she doesn't (at least at first). Jake is also a good character - he is falling in love with Katie, doesn't want to hurt her, and wonders how they can have a future together. The romance between the two develops slowly but nicely and the anguish of a seemingly impossible future together is particularly well done. All of the other stories in the book are done nicely and while Clipston does a good job of wrapping up the series I still wouldn't mind finding out what happens to others in the book especially Jessica."A Season of Love" is an excellent novel of romance, struggles, faith, and hope.
review 2: In this fifth and final novel of the Kauffman Amish Bakery Series, when Katie’s friends pair up with their future husbands she feels left out. When Jake Miller begins working on the cabinetry at the bakery, she is attracted, but realizes that since he cannot be more than a friend since he is not Amish. When Katie is attacked, Jake comes to her rescue, but appearances cause Katie’s father to ground her, unfairly. Katie and Jake both feel the attraction, but the gap between Amish and Mennonite may be too far to bridge.This is an interesting story, set in the Amish community, but showing that the Amish lifestyle is not as perfect as it may appear. This sweet romance has enough twists to make it a fun read. I would recommend it to all readers of Amish fiction, especially those that have enjoyed the previous books in the series and want to follow the story to completion.Received Galley from NetGalley.com less
