This book is one of the series, called The Amish Bonnet Sisters, and it’s such a wonderful read. Once you start reading it, you can’t put it down, because of the anticipation of what’s on the next page! It shows us how the communities of the Amish have the same everyday problems like us outsiders. This is an amazing series to read, along with so many other books that Samantha writes!!
Book 8:
5 stars
I purchased a copy of the novel Their Amish Stepfather: Amish Romance (The Amish Bonnet Sisters Book 8) by Samantha Price and this review was given freely.
Conflicted with some scheming. Hope faces the dilemma of love versus community and the sisters continue to seek the counsel of the now pregnant Florence when the new year finds them without their mother in a full house with a strict schedule, a list of chores and the demand to turn all of their earnings over to their miserly, controlling, and at times verbally abusive stepfather Levi or go hungry.
Book 9:
4 stars
I purchased a copy of the novel A Baby For Florence: Amish Romance (The Amish Bonnet Sisters Book 9) by Samantha Price and this review was given freely.
Full of drama with a fair amount of negativity. this fast paced novel has recaps of prior book highlights intermixed with snippets of the low moral resulting from Levi’s increasing rules; the couples and potential couples rocky romances; Cherish’s sly, manipulative and sometimes rude ways as well as an unexpected accident for Florence caused by Bliss’s birthday present and Wilma’s spiteful personality.
Can be read alone as it contains a good recap but is best if read in sequence.
Book 10:
4 stars
I purchased a copy of the novel Amish Bliss: Amish Romance (The Amish Bonnet Sisters Book 10) by Samantha Price and this review was given freely.
Action and drama packed with a fair amount of negativity with a delivery that is at times awkward and stilled with a good degree of recapping. There are snippets from the lives of all the girl siblings including two of Cherish’s schemes going awry, Florence and Carter naming baby Iris, Wilma’s softening toward Florence and Carter, romances progressing for both Hope and Bliss as well as Levi and Wilma going on a trip leaving the girls unsupervised.
Can be read alone as it contains a good recap but is best if read in sequence.
Book 11:
4 stars
I purchased a copy of the novel Amish Apple Harvest: Amish Romance (The Amish Bonnet Sisters Book 11) by Samantha Price and this review was given freely.
Primarily negative but easy flowing with a cliff hanger ending in a secret revealed. This sequel contains scheming on the part of multiple family members, the negativity of having a self involved Englisher visit, Levi’s sudden softening personality, the plans to reopening the Orchard’s store,Wilma’s escalating critical and derogatory ways, the continued questioning of the Orchard’s ownership, and a pregnancy for Joy.
Can be read alone as it contains a good recap but is best if read in sequence.
Book 12:
4 stars
I purchased a copy of the novel Amish Mayhem: Amish Romance (The Amish Bonnet Sisters Book 12) by Samantha Price and this review was given freely.
Drama filled and easy flowing with a fair amount of conflict reflected by a bad newspaper article increasing increasing store traffic; Caroline’s bad influence on Favor, her lying to avoid leaving, her flirty with the unmarried men in the family; Cherish’s jealousy; the story of Wilma’s hiding the will getting out; and Levi’s heart attack.
Can be read alone as it contains a good recap but is best if read in sequence.
Book 13:
4 stars
I purchased a copy of the novel The Cost of Lies: Amish Romance (The Amish Bonnet Sisters Book 13) by Samantha Price and this review was given freely.
Fairly negative again focused on Cherish’s self-centeredness,loneliness, jealousy and abrupt oftentimes negative or callous comments. It was nice to see a softening in Ada and the start of atonement/reconciliation involving Wilma, Levi and Florence. Ends with a happy scene.
As Levi recovers in the hospital after a heart attack, he urges Wilma to make things right with Florence while at the same time Ada, Florence and Cherish focus on running the orchard,business and home. Contains a brief update on all the siblings.
Can be read alone as it contains a good recap but is best if read in sequence.
Book 14:
4 stars
I purchased a copy of the novel Amish Winter of Hope: Amish Romance (The Amish Bonnet Sisters Book 14) by Samantha Price and this review was given freely.
This story contains a heavy portion of Cherish meddling, rocky personal relationships, a moment of temptation and some recap but ends on a happy note as Florence and Levi’s relationship strengthens and Hope and Fairfax make up.
Can be read alone as it contains a good recap but is best if read in sequence.
I have so loved this series by Samantha Price. The Amish Stepfather is book 8 in the series. I am always looking forward to the next book. Characters are very well written. I just love the character Florence. I also really can’t stand Levi the stepfather. The character is well written but I just can’t stand him. He is a Brut and to me doesn’t know how to treat women. Moved in after marrying their mother and being a real jerk. And what in the world is going to happen to the orchard. This is the families way of life and he is ruining it? Can Florence some how get it back? Wonderful story pick it up and the series you won’t be disappointed.
I didn’t like the way the step father behaved with his new family or with his new wife. I didn’t like the way the wife took the husbands side – until she couldn’t do it any more. I didn’t like the way the new step sister didn’t have to work as hard as the others. But you know what ? I wasn’t supposed to like any of that. And if it was going on in my life, I’d be madder than a hornet. But this story is built on the problems that I’ve just listed, and it is an excellent story. I plan to read more from this author.
In the 8th book of the The Amish Bonnet Sisters series we began to see of the character of the new stepfather. Sometimes what we will solve our problems only brings more.
