I really enjoyed this story. I loved how Anne’s relationship with God was so important that she wanted that in her partner as well. Andy and Anne are a very sweet couple and I am glad to see they found each other after both suffering a break up with their partners. Johnny, I wasn’t really a fan of him, especially after leaving the amish and basically wanting Anne and the English world. The world of the Amish is very intriguing to me and seems very peaceful and uncomplicated. Sounded off The only thing I didn’t like so much about this book was the Pennsylvania Dutch wording that was thrown in throughout. Maybe because it is not something I read or hear everyday, but in the book just frustrated me, especially because I couldn’t memorize all of the translations from the front.
I found myself wanting to know more of the story than this short novella provided, but at the same time, it was just the right amount of story.
Anne Eichner is alone again for yet another Christmas after her betrothed of 5 years decided to go Englisch. She starts receiving letters from someone who knows her but she is not given his identity. The letter says that after a year of corresponding, they will marry. This has Anne intrigued and she begins to write back to this stranger.
Andy Stoltzfus is a teacher looking to relocate back to the homeland and to be accepted back into the fold. He’s currently between different homes and building another for himself and his soon to be bride.
Anne finds herself falling for Andy while still receiving mystery letters. She’s soon going to have to make a decision that could end up hurting someone. Then her old beau comes groveling back to her. Whatever will she do?
I absolutely loved reading this story! It had been quite some time since I read a novel about the Amish and I’ve missed it! This made for a very enjoyable read on a quiet afternoon!

A Christmas Amish Courtship is a very sweet novel of how Anne and Andy found true love. Both had been jilted in the past after years of courtship.
Andy admired Anne and started a penmanship with her hiding behind anonymity of the title “a secret admirer”- Andy then takes a teaching posting at the local school and as Anne is looking after her younger siblings they are destined to meet again and fall in love. Anne starts to compare little pieces of Andy and her secret admirer and wonders if they are in fact the same person.
I loved the integration of Amish words into the novel and it was very interesting to learn about Amish culture. This is book 3 in the Amish Courtship series by Jennifer Spredemann but I was able to easily read it as a stand alone novel. I will however be looking to read the other books in this series ❤️
A Christmas Amish Courtship is the third book in the Amish Courtship series by Jennifer Spredemann. This is the first book that I have read by Ms. Spredemann, so I really didn’t know what to expect from one of her stories. But I do love a great Christmas story, and this looked like it would bring something a little different to the table, so I took a chance and jumped in. What I discovered is a really sweet Christmas romance woven with faith, emotion, heartwarming touches, forgiveness, family, community, God’s plan, and finding love unexpectedly. Anne and Andy have both been spurned by love. But can some anonymous love letter’s help bring these two the love they have been searching for? What happens? This makes for a charming read to find out… If you love faith-filled romance, with a sweet connection, Christmas settings, emotion, and heartwarming developments- then this is definitely the book for you. Happy Reading…

A Christmas Amish Courtship is book 3 in the Amish Courtship Series by Jennifer Spredemann. Jennifer is a new author to me so I thought I would give the story a go. I have not read the first two books in the series but didn’t feel like I was missing anything.
It is a heartfelt clean romance tale full of faith and religion and it is set around Christmas time. A magical time for love.
I have only read a couple of Amish stories and quite enjoyed them. Learning of a different way of life was interesting. It is a second chance romance tale full of love and healing.
I did like the characters and found them interesting, and it was hard not to feel for them.
Annie is afraid to get hurt again after a courtship gone wrong. She wants to have what others have but can she open her heart to possible heartbreak again.
Andy knows he is the one for her he just has to get her to see it.
If you love an Amish clean religious romance tale, I am sure you will enjoy Jennifers work.
This was a sweet holiday inspired, yet it can be read anytime, romance. Andy and Anne had both gone through some relationship hardships. Andy came back into the fold and had hoped to court Anne. He went about it in a different way. He was a secret pen pal. This intrigued Anne to say the least. Watching this relationship grow and develop was heartwarming and endearing. They did have struggles and were able to get through them. I really enjoyed the story. You felt the emotions. The characters were very relatable. Anne’s family were very supportive of her. It’s a beautiful story that showed God is always with you. A story that I highly recommend.
This is a new author for me which I enjoyed reading. I look forward to reading more from this series as well as seeing what is next for this author. This is a well written holiday romance story that will pull at your heartstrings in parts. The characters pull you into their world with ease and keep you engaged to the end. They are connectable, relatable and had me hoping they would find their peace with healing. A story where two people are in need of healing but will they be able to heal each other? A second chance at a romance story you don’t want to miss. This is a story that brings the holiday spirit and romance together in a great story. I really enjoyed the characters and what they brought to the story. I highly recommend this book.
This was a really nice, relaxed read and one that I really enjoyed. This is the first book that I have read by this author and I will definitely be looking forward to reading more from her in the future. Andy and Anne were lovely characters to read about. Andy was so sweet in the way he went about trying to court Ann, I loved the innocence in the letter writing and how their relationship developed through this. This was a lovely, heart warming story and one that I would recommend.
Can Christmas bring two hurting souls together and spark a new love? A sweet faith-filled Amish holiday story that will bring a smile to your face and joy to your heart!

Deep inside Andrew Stoltzfus’s soul burns an admiration for Anne Eicher. He’s never known anyone like her. She’s exactly what his heart craves—someone whose love is genuine, faithful, and true. Unlike her sister who dropped him the instant Glen Kauffman returned to the community.
Andy doesn’t think he stands a chance with the eldest Eicher sister, though, so he devises a plan to win her heart—and her hand.
But what happens when his plan backfires?
A sweet faith-filled holiday story that will bring a smile to your face and joy to your heart!

“ Love anchors the soul . An anchor is a reminder of one’s roots and origin” …. I just love this quote that marks the start of a brilliant read
Gabby comes from a wealthy family , her daddy is is a well know and influential oil baron and cattle rancher and he’s also power hungry …..
Richard is in the running to be the next governor of Texas , his assistant Amanda wants to be more than his assistant and is cruel and unkind to Gaby and she gives off negatives vibes , I really don’t like her 🤮
Now Gaby and Richard have history , they were once engaged before but Richard cheated on her so she walked away and fell in love with Brett , they got married and only a few moths into their marriage Brett had a bull riding accident , went into a coma and never woke up and she was heart broken and thanks to her son Matthew she held on to her sanity but I must be honest when I say I questioned her going back to Richard and while I see the method in the madness I wanted to shake her up and tell her to smell the roses ….a leopard never changes it’s spots…
Matthew had a twin brother that he didn’t know about and when Brandon first makes contact with Gaby my heart breaks , I can’t begin to imagine what it must be like to miss the person you love and them come face to face with someone that’s his mirror image !?
Brandon dotes on little Matthew and Gabby and he’s also just holding on the family that he’s got left so it really a bittersweet situation
Then we have Stan , the man that’s always been there for Gabby and Matthew but he also needs to move on with his life but Marie isn’t the right woman for him …
This girl is living her version of a dispute with all the love and drama surrounding her but she pulls herself together and realises what and who is right under her nose🥰

I love love loved this book! I read it as a standalone because I did not pay attention to the fact that it was a series. I didn’t feel lost or anything, but I definitely want to circle back and read all of the books in this series now though! This was an emotional rollercoaster ride, and I appreciate the depth of the characters. I feel like Gabby is an incredibly relatable character. I was immediately invested in these characters as well, so the author did a fantastic job creating this story! The flow of the story was just wonderful as I never felt jolted back into reality. I read this book in one sitting and highly recommend you pick it up to get lost in the emotional romance!

The Anchor Knot was a great read for me. It was definitely a page turner for me. I had trouble to putting the book down, it was THAT good.

Gabby is a young widow and is being pressured to live a certain life. She wants to make her father and others around her happy but in doing so she is completely putting aside the chance to find her own happiness. I actually think Gabby is a much stronger person than she gives herself credit for being. It is an emotional journey for her for sure. The author created a great storyline and wonderful characters to entertain her readers. This is book 6 in the series, however it is the first book in this series that I have read and my enjoyment was in no way hindered by having not read the rest of the series.

The Anchor Knot (The Knot Series Book 2) by DonnaLee Overly is a great romance story
If Gabby King’s secret becomes known, it might derail her boyfriend Richard Wright’s bid for the office of Texas governor. While Texas voters may overlook a candidate’s unwed child, finding out that he has a son as a result of an affair with a married lady will surely spark controversy.The powerful oil tycoon and cattle rancher Wayne King, Gabby’s father, convinces his daughter to agree to his scheme to get her and Wright into the governor’s house. Amanda Jason, the campaign manager for Richard, wants Wright and the position of first lady of Texas and will do whatever it takes to replace Gabby.
Every page had you hanging on every sentence and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. It is a very unique story with even compelling people. The story really transports you into this world. I couldn’t put the book down.

Gabby is a widow in love with her son Matthew. Her life has been a little of a whirlpool lately, since her ex-husband’s accident and death, she still loves him. Oh but life must go on and her daddy is financing the political campaign of an ex boyfriend, Richard, who now must be her fiancé due to the fact that her son is also his son.
Now, life has never been fair so with all the complications of a loveless marriage comes even bigger challenges, like Stan, a cowboy from her daddy’s ranch who happens to declare his love right before getting engaged to his still girlfriend.
Gabby will have to decide which man is the one she cannot live without, so what comes first, the heart or the duty?

The Anchor Knot: Securing the Knot of Truth By: DonnaLee Overly
This was my first novel by DonnaLee Overly that I have read. I definitely will read more of hers now, that is how much I enjoyed reading this one. This was a fantastic book about a character who is really in the process of discovering who she is. She is in the limelight of politics, but really doesn’t know if this is where she wants to be. She also is there by proxy, it isn’t her running for political office. Plus she is dealing with the loss of her late husband in addition to her fiance who is running for governor. She is the queen of putting everyone first, but she never stops and asks who she is or what she wants. This is something that I definitely relate to on an amazingly personal level. Gabby was very well written and her personal struggles were really well written and as the reader you really felt for Gabby and you wanted to see her find what she wanted, not what everyone else wants. I loved the complexity of the relationships in this book. This book is so fantastic. I definitely recommend it. I have found another author that I really want to read more of.

The Anchor Knot was a beautifully written story that was really engaging to read about. I really liked the characters especially Gabby. She seemed like a really likeable and down to earth person who is really struggling with who she is meant to be and if she is being true to herself. She really was selfless person she always put everyone else first and made sure that everyone around her was happy – even if that meant she did always feel that way herself. I really enjoyed Gabby’s story she really grew over the story and realised that she mattered as a person. There were some very good unpredictable twists in the story too. Overall, I really enjoyed this story and will definitely be reading more from this author in the future.

The Anchor Knot: securing the Knot of truth- 4 out of 5 stars
Wow! Although this is the sixth and final book in the collection, I feel like it worked great as a stand alone. I do encourage readers to start from book one in the series so they do not miss details about different characters. Romance, secrets, lies, greif, this book as a whirlwind of emotions entangled throughout. This book can empower women to speak up and have a voice amongst all the chaos. The author did a great job and I recommend trying out this series.

Gabby lives the life her father has always dreamed of for her. She’s engaged to the frontrunner for the next governor of Texas, has a baby boy, and comes from great wealth, what more could she possible want? Gabby has faced significant loss in her life and she has secrets that others can’t find out. Through all of life’s troubles, she’s always been able to rely on Stan, her rock and voice of reason. When Stan encourages Gabby to question what she really wants from life she is caught off guard and really doesn’t know what to do. The Anchor Knot is a great story of self-discovery and following your heart. It is the final book in the series, but could be read standalone without issue.

This book has so much going on, it is spread apart very well but it took quite a bit for me to get into it. The story follows Gabby and her self discovery. She is trying to find out what to do with her life and what to do now that everything has changed. This was my first book by DonnaLee and I would try to read a few others.

The Anchor Knot was interesting. It seemed like a book of self discovery. The author depicted that in such a wonderful way. There’s a few moving parts but at its center is the main character of this novel. Gabby is in the limelight, the limelight of politics. But reality is, does she want to be there? She’s trying to find herself, while managing multiple relationships in the process. Her late husband. Richard, the man running for governor, and her fiancé. Brandon, the late husband’s twin brother. Last but not least Stan, her stepbrother. But despite all that she puts everyone first. So the question remains what about Gabby? Unfortunately she has skeletons in her closet, and the last thing she wants is to ruin Richard’s election chances. But can she keep those secrets safe? All that and so much more is going on throughout this book. The refreshing part being, there’s no confusion. The author writes everything clearly. Finding oneself isn’t an easy task. Finding one’s strength is even harder. This book demonstrates that and more. It could be inspiring for someone looking for something new.

Well this is part of a series, and in my search for something new as well as a new author I missed the series part. But it all worked out well as this story can be a standalone. However I found there is so much more to this series. Gabby is strong and independent with many secrets. Her father wants her in the governor’s office and married to the next governor of Texas. Richard Wright is her boyfriend and while he is on the road to becoming said governor, there are a few things the citizens of Texas do not know. But that for you to discover as you read this story. In my opinion the story is well written and easy to follow. The characters are not only believable but loveable as well. I enjoyed this page turner and often found myself behind on things I needed to do, like sleep. So worth staying up all night. Many avenues are touched in this story, and you find yourself wanting more. More you will find in the books before this one. As for me I am headed back to the beginning where this series started.

I’ll start off by saying that I was not aware that this was a book deep in a series when I picked it up. This can be read as a stand alone but for me, I’m going to go back and read the previous books to understand more of the back story.
This book is full of emotion…some that came to me a bit unexpected. There is also, as with any book with a political figure, lots of lies, secrets, grief and more. I appreciated that this was a clean romance novel with a sweet story of two people who are broken and needing each other.
I look forward to reading the previous books in this series and “catching up” on the characters!

This book is a well written and interesting book that places the focus on the main character, Gabby. This is the 6th book in the series and the first I have read by this author. I didn’t realise initially that this was not the first book. I would say it csn be read as a standalone but I definitely think you would benefit from reading them all, something I am going to go back and do! I really enjoyed Gabby’s character. I loved that the focus was on her. It strengthened the whole story overall. I enjoyed watching her work to overcome the challenges she faced. This is a thoroughly enjoyable book and I am looking forward to discovering the rest of the series.
