Summary
Wesley wasn’t expecting Jenny
to be a lovely， determined young woman。
Jenny wasn’t expecting to fall in love。
And even more surprises are in store…
Wesley is so busy running his family’s Amish market at the holidays， he barely has time for Liesl， the young woman he’s been courting for years。 When she suggests her aunt Jenny could help Wesley out， he agrees to the plan。 But Liesl neglected to mention her aunt is only twenty-six years old—and as charming as she is hard-working。
Jenny， still healing after a painful breakup， welcomes the distraction of working at the market。 She soon realizes Wesley is everything she ever dreamed a man could be…except available。 How can Jenny even think about romance with the man Liesl expects to marry？
But Liesl’s own feelings are more complicated than she’s willing to admit。 With humor， faith， and a little help from their friends in the community， everyone might just find what their hearts are looking for this Christmas at the Amish market。

Because of his father’s heart attack， Wesley is running his family’s Amish market。 His long-time girl friend， Liesl， thinks he is spending too much time at the store and not enough with her。 Her solution is to persuade her aunt to work for Wesley during her busy month of December。 He is surprised that the aunt turns out to be a young， unmarried woman his own age。 He is even more surprised to discover that he likes her more than he really should。 Meanwhile， Liesl is helping a widower， Roland， wit Because of his father’s heart attack， Wesley is running his family’s Amish market。 His long-time girl friend， Liesl， thinks he is spending too much time at the store and not enough with her。 Her solution is to persuade her aunt to work for Wesley during her busy month of December。 He is surprised that the aunt turns out to be a young， unmarried woman his own age。 He is even more surprised to discover that he likes her more than he really should。 Meanwhile， Liesl is helping a widower， Roland， with his young daughter。 She likes being around Lilly very much， as well as being around Roland。 How all this works out is quite interesting。 No one wants to be the the first to declare the truths that are quite obvious。 It’s a lovely and heart-warming Christmas tale， with well-developed characters。 The smartest one in the story is Emma， Liesl’s sister， who has a very small role but critical role in the tale。 Included at the end is a recipe for Cincinnati-Style Chili， which most of the people in the story don’t appear to enjoy， but really sounds very tasty。 。。。more

This is such a sweet story！ I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about it going into it as it’s not my normal type of book at all but I found that I really liked it。 Wesley has been extremely busy running his family’s Amish market during the holidays。 He has had very little time for the woman he has been courting for years。 Liesl。 When she suggests that he consider asking her aunt Jenny to help him out he agrees to it。 However， Liesl failed to tell him that her aunt is only twenty six years old and a real This is such a sweet story！ I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about it going into it as it’s not my normal type of book at all but I found that I really liked it。 Wesley has been extremely busy running his family’s Amish market during the holidays。 He has had very little time for the woman he has been courting for years。 Liesl。 When she suggests that he consider asking her aunt Jenny to help him out he agrees to it。 However， Liesl failed to tell him that her aunt is only twenty six years old and a real charming girl。Jenny is still healing her heart after a painful breakup。 She jumps at the chance to help out and thinks it will be a great distraction。 She soon realizes， though， that Wesley is everything she has ever hoped for in a man。 Jenny is upset with herself for even thinking that way about the man Liesl expects to marry。All the while， Liesl’s own feelings are becoming more complicated even though she is unwilling to admit it。 As time goes on， just how will they all sort out these complicated feelings？This book is cute。 It has a nice bit of humor that keeps it from becoming too serious。 It’s a refreshingly sweet story and perfect for a feel good holiday read。I received a copy of the audiobook from Netgalley （thank you so much！） and absolutely loved the narrator on this one。 She’s really good and her voice keeps the story interesting and you sort of fall into it。 She’s really good。 。。。more

This book is a sweet Amish romance set at Christmas and has a twist。 It’s the story of two people who have been courting for years and are taking an expected path until they aren’t。 I enjoyed reading their story as they worked through what they thought they should do and who they should be with and what they ended up doing and with whom as they realized their truth paths。 I wish there was a Pinery near me as it sounded like an amazing holiday place to visit。 I voluntarily read an advance copy of This book is a sweet Amish romance set at Christmas and has a twist。 It’s the story of two people who have been courting for years and are taking an expected path until they aren’t。 I enjoyed reading their story as they worked through what they thought they should do and who they should be with and what they ended up doing and with whom as they realized their truth paths。 I wish there was a Pinery near me as it sounded like an amazing holiday place to visit。 I voluntarily read an advance copy of this book from Hallmark Publishing。 All thoughts and opinions are my own。 Repost of my original review on Amazon。com。 。。。more

Christmas at the Amish Market by Shelley Shepard Gray is a feel good， get you in the spirit book。 Yes， it's a predictable Amish love story but sometimes predictability is a good thing。 I love chocolate cake so I always want it to taste the same。 I'm disappointed when the taste is different。 Added ingredients can compliment the taste but the basic recipe is there。 Gray gives us comfort with a few little twists and turns thrown in！I voluntarily received a copy of this book from Netgalley。 Christmas at the Amish Market by Shelley Shepard Gray is a feel good， get you in the spirit book。 Yes， it's a predictable Amish love story but sometimes predictability is a good thing。 I love chocolate cake so I always want it to taste the same。 I'm disappointed when the taste is different。 Added ingredients can compliment the taste but the basic recipe is there。 Gray gives us comfort with a few little twists and turns thrown in！I voluntarily received a copy of this book from Netgalley。 。。。more

I really enjoyed reading this book。 The characters were easy to relate to and the story line was interesting。 From reading the back cover of the book， I could surmise what was going to happen in the story， but it did not take anything away from my enjoyment of the story。 I particularly liked the character of Jenny and her hard work and great attitude。Thanks so much to the publisher for the arc。 The opinions are my own。
