Gabriel's Bride
A Clover Ridge Novel book 3
by Amy Lillard
| -From the back cover- Could a marriage of convenience ever become real love? Rachel Yoder has two choices: marry Gabriel Fisher or move to Ohio. As an orphan, she doesn't have much to offer – any match she can make would be considered a good one. She just didn't plan on Gabriel with his big hands and permanent frown. As a widower Gabriel needs help caring for his farm and six children. But he never thought he'd marry a slip of a girl who barely reaches his chin. Yet as time passes, Rachel finds herself thinking about a real marriage. The vows they spoke to God and each other are true enough, but will Gabriel ever be able to give his heart to Rachel? As a reader that only enjoys SOME Amish fiction I usually try a new author with some trepidation. I quickly lost that with Gabriel's Bride. The book was new, different, and not the usual hackneyed storyline. I was pulled in with chapter one and it kept me hooked all the way through to the last page. I really liked both Rachel and Gabriel. Rachel is sweet and genuinely tries to fit in and help her new family. Gabriel is a bit gruff and doesn't always know what to say but he loves his family very much. It was neat watching the two grow, change, and get used to each other. I really enjoyed how Amy Lillard made her characters flawed and make mistakes but still doing their best and trying to do what is right for their family. |  . This Book earned a 4.5 Bark rating.

As with most Amish stories faith and family are foremost. I love the wholesome but also realistic life stages and predicaments that the characters find themselves in. There is romance, danger, drama, and humor all rolled into 300 pages of good book. Some of the best humor comes when Gabriel's boys decide they don't want a new mother and the tricks they pull on her, and how she good-naturedly gets back at them.
Gabriel's Bride was an enjoyable story that I would recommend to any lover of Amish fiction!
