I found Amish Country Kidnapping to be a page Turner from the first page. It was scary at times and very unpredictable. I found it to be action packed edge of seat reading. The author added a dash of romance to sweeten the story. I can truthfully say I wasn’t bored with this book. It was well written and didn’t disappoint.
Someone has kidnapped Rachel Albrect’s younger sister Eva and now they are after her too. As Rachel flees from her masked kidnapper, she gets help from Deputy Sheriff Noah Warren as he cruises the community in his police car. He scares off the kidnapper for the time being but who ever is after her will not be stopped. It seems there is more than one person after Rachel and they’re getting desperate. They will stop at nothing and Rachel has no idea why they’re after her or what they want from her. Where is Eva and is she alive or dead?
Rachel and Noah knew each other in their youth. They loved each other but Noah was English and Rachel was Amish. Noah’s parents move away in order to split up the young couple. Now they both realize they still have feelings for each other. Rachel is a widow and Noah lost his first wife in an accident. Has too much time passed or is their love still forbidden?
I would recommend this book to fans of Mary Alford and readers of Amish Fiction or Suspense Fiction.
I won a copy of this book in a giveaway given by the author. A review wasn’t requested. All opinions expressed here in this review are my own.
I really liked this work of Mary Alford. It had 2 running stories. The romance and the kidnapping. It left you mystified all through the story right until the end why the kidnapping and persecution of these 2 innocent Amish girls was all about. I never guessed it and that is what I liked. It kept you glued until the end to find out. Great book and you will enjoy.
Her sister is missing and she’s next!
Finally! An Amish Love Inspired Suspense novel set in Montana! I think nearly every other state has been represented already, OK, maybe not Alaska and Hawaii and Rhode Island, but still…
Anyway, Amish Country Kidnapping is a wonderful romantic suspense novel with plenty of danger and romance, not to mention scary winter car chases, to satisfy the heart of any Mary Alford fan.
I really liked how determined Rachel was to find her missing sister. She’ll brave a Montana winter, her ex-boyfriend, and any number of bad guys to bring her little sister home. But, I think it was the somewhat non-typical Amish fiction ending that I liked the best. Of course, if you want to know what that is you’ll just have to snag yourself a copy of Mary Alford’s exciting Love Inspired Suspense novel Amish Country Kidnapping.

Kidnapping in an Amish community . . . What could be the reason behind masked men taking Eva and attempting to grab her sister Rachel? Deputy Noah Warren, an old friend and love interest of Rachel, takes on the case, trying to solve the crimes and keep her safe. The book is fast-paced and suspenseful, but has more violence than one would expect in an Amish story, and Noah doesn’t show much remorse when he has to shoot dangerous men. Even Rachel doesn’t act very nonresistant, fighting back and injuring her attackers. The story does keep you guessing and seems realistic, except for the fact an Amish bishop would allow remarriage after divorce. I received a copy from the author. All opinions are my own.
This book has all the things that I love in it. This had great suspense, mystery, a bit of romance and great characters. I did not want to put this down. There were so many twists and turns. I love to learn about the Amish and to have great suspense. I received a copy of this book from the author for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will.
The action and drama begin immediately in this story of a young Amish widow who escapes from a kidnap attempt, only to find that her younger sister has already been abducted. From that point on, Rachel Albrecht faces increasing danger as she and Deputy Sheriff Noah Warren attempt to find her sister Eva. Rachel soon realizes that she isn’t just facing physical danger — she is also at risk emotionally because this “Englischer” deputy sheriff is the one who stole her heart years ago and then broke it when he and his family moved away.
Amish Country Kidnapping is Mary Alford’s first attempt at writing Amish suspense and she has certainly succeeded. I found myself surprised many times by the events that were unfolding because there was no apparent reason for these two young Amish women to be hunted. This book is everything a suspense novel should be: intriguing, intense, and action-packed but fans of Amish fiction will also be thrilled because Alford shows the peace and forgiveness that is part of the Amish way of life that most people find so appealing.
Amish Country Kidnapping is an enjoyable read and I recommend it to all who enjoy romantic suspense and Amish fiction.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author and I am voluntarily sharing my honest thoughts in this review.
Wow! Try waking up to a man trying to kidnap you and no clue as to why! Amish country wasn’t so friendly, quiet or safe. Fast paced, lots of mystery and what a surprise at the end!
I was gifted a copy, no review was required. My review is voluntary.
Amish Country Kidnapping starts off with the action on the first page and doesn’t let up until the HEA and a sweet epilogue. Both main characters are very likable, and it’s easy to hope for success for this second-chance romance. Honestly, Amish stories are not a genre that I normally care for, but the suspense in this one kept me glued to the book until the wee hours of the morning. I definitely plan to read more of Mary Alford’s work. I received a complimentary copy. I chose to write a review and share my opinion of this thrilling romance.
An excellent story of suspense in Amish Country. Rachel is Amish and someone is trying to kidnap her and her sister is missing. Her old beau, Noah is the deputy who helps her. Even though Noah left years ago, old feelings come back. But they have to find out why kidnappers would want a couple of Amish women who don’t have anything they could want. When the truth comes out you will be surprised how everything works out. I received a complimentary copy and I am voluntarily reviewing.
I have read several book by this author and they have always been very good. This book however is the best I have read from her. It is so intense and action packed I didn’t move from my comfy place until the last word was read. It is so well written that the author had me reading as fast as I could to find out the ending.
The story centers around Rachel’s sister who has been kidnapped. There seems to be no trace of her sister anywhere. The intriguing part is whoever has her sister wants Rachel as well. They will stop at nothing to get Rachel. The intensity grew as these mysterious men kept trying to get to Rachel.
I really enjoyed Noah and how determined he was to protect Rachel. His puts his life in danger as he fiercely protects her. I couldn’t believe how many near tragedies happened to Noah as the men never gave up trying to get Rachel The big question is why do they want Rachel and why do they have her sister?
I thought the author did an excellent job of keeping who was after Rachel and why they were so desperate to get her a secret for most of the book. I think that is why I loved the story so much. The author didn’t give anything away but kept me so involved in trying to figure out why they need both Rachel and her sister. There is a past between Noah and Rachel that is explored a little but it is not the main focus of the story. The faith element is evident throughout the book and adds hope and trust to an exciting nail biting story. The ending is action packed and filled with a few surprises. I think I was holding my breath at times because the story is so intriguing and kept me guessing with twists at unexpected moments. I am excited to know that the author’s next book be will coming out March 2020.
I received a copy of this book from the author. The review is my own opinion.

Fast paced, hair-raising, and edge of your seat suspense from the opening sentence. This author really know how to grab your attention and keep you engaged throughout. Couldn’t put it down. Highly recommend.
this is a wonderful suspense story, if you like suspense and romance you will want to read the book very good I received a copy of the book but this is an honest review. well written looking forward to the next book
This was a fast paced story that was brimming with suspense. Mary Alford always starts her books off with a bang and doesn’t stop until the last page.
Rachel is the victim of an attempted kidnapping. As she is fleeing for her life, Noah, a Deputy and her estranged childhood boyfriend, comes to her aid. As she finds out her sister, Eva has been kidnapped, Rachel will stop at nothing to find her…and the kidnappers will stop at nothing to take Rachel by whatever means necessary.
I really liked the ending, how the whole storyline tied together. It was a great twist and kept me guessing until it was all revealed.
The reason behind 4 instead of 5 stars was I felt the middle part of the story was too much of the same thing happening over and over. It would have been more believable with a couple less ambushes from masked men, shootouts, and the kidnappers getting away without a trace every time.
