His Pretend Amish Bride (Unexpected Amish Blessings Book 2) by Rachel J. Good

It's summertime and time to pull out some take wherever you need to go books.  For me it's my new back deck.  When we moved from Virginia to Minnesota and then moved again from a rental to a home we bought I lost my front porch and swing.  So to have a place to read good books and relax is a blessing!   
This is the second book in Rachel Good's series.  From the excerpt:
In a small Amish town like picturesque Lancaster, Pennsylvania, one solution to an indiscretion is to make a good marriage. Or perhaps, fake a respectable engagement . . .


Priscilla Ebersol has a fulfilling life teaching special needs children—until her boyfriend’s humiliating betrayal ruins her reputation and threatens her job. Ostracized for something she didn’t do, Priscilla throws herself into a project on the benefits of camel’s milk for autism. Her research leads her to a fledgling local camel farm, where she discovers far more than she bargained for . . .

When a pushy Englisch company shows interest in shy, handsome Gabriel Kauffman’s camel farm, he struggles to get out of a sticky negotiation. Lovely, well-spoken Priscilla appears at the perfect moment, and defends Gabe’s business so well that she is mistaken for his wife. It’s a ruse the two quietly continue, all the while secretly wishing it could be true. But though their bond deepens, Priscilla’s heart is still wounded, and Gabe battles with a troubling secret. And when a misunderstanding comes between them, it will take faith, honesty, and trust in the future to overcome the past—and allow their partnership to blossom into something more . . .

This was a really good read.  Priscilla was betrayed by her boyfriend and he was rotten.  Priscilla is hurt and her job is threatened by the scandal.  She works with special needs children, which I thought was pretty awesome.  It was nice to see a character in an Amish book in a unique job.  So she ends up at the new local camel farm. 

Gabe was a really well thought out character.  He also had a unique job (camel farmer) and it was easy for me to picture him walking down the street in town.  

With mystery, betrayal, twists and turns this was a hard book to put down.  It's getting a special shelf place (as soon as I unpack them!) and I plan on reading it again.  So pick up your copy of His Pretend Amish Bride (available June 30th) and enjoy a unique Amish story.  Happy Reading!
