This is the conclusion of the series entitled An Amish Marketplace Novel。 Book 4 was a sweet book with members of the marketplace from prior books of the series which were fun to again meet and remember。 This was Leanna's story， a single mother who operates a booth at the Amish market and has a son that wasn't following Amish guidelines。Emory is a widowed Amish man with a teen daughter。 As the paths of Leanna and Emory cross， they find they have much in common and they start a friendship。 But th This is the conclusion of the series entitled An Amish Marketplace Novel。 Book 4 was a sweet book with members of the marketplace from prior books of the series which were fun to again meet and remember。 This was Leanna's story， a single mother who operates a booth at the Amish market and has a son that wasn't following Amish guidelines。Emory is a widowed Amish man with a teen daughter。 As the paths of Leanna and Emory cross， they find they have much in common and they start a friendship。 But their feelings change， but due to misunderstandings， little lies and other outside influences， things just don't seem to work out as either had expected or hoped。It's a sweet novel and has good family situations of learning to understand and listen to each other's needs and feelings。I received an ebook copy from NetGalley。 All thoughts are my own。 。。。more

I am so sad after finishing Amy Clipston’s The Jam and Jelly Nook because it is the final book in the Amish Marketplace series。 I have loved this series。 Her characters are so well developed， I feel like these are people that I actually know。 I have enjoyed the cousins’ bond。 They are more like sisters。 I loved Leanna and it was a joy getting to know her。 She is the oldest of the cousins， widowed with a teenage son。 She meets Emory， a widower with a teenage daughter， when their children call fro I am so sad after finishing Amy Clipston’s The Jam and Jelly Nook because it is the final book in the Amish Marketplace series。 I have loved this series。 Her characters are so well developed， I feel like these are people that I actually know。 I have enjoyed the cousins’ bond。 They are more like sisters。 I loved Leanna and it was a joy getting to know her。 She is the oldest of the cousins， widowed with a teenage son。 She meets Emory， a widower with a teenage daughter， when their children call from the police station。 They are both so confused about their feelings for each other， convinced that the other only sees them as a friend。 I really liked Emory and Maggie， too。 Simply Sarah Ann made appearances， too。 I loved the scene where she came into the stand， which was the final scene that she made an appearance。 The epilogue had the perfect ending。 I absolutely loved this book。 You can read it as a standalone， but I recommend reading the series in order， because then you get everybody’s backstory。 Thank you to Netgalley and Zondervan for the ARC。 All opinions expressed are my own。 。。。more

Of the four books in this series， I think this one is my favorite。 Maybe because the main characters are both older than the typical Amish romance， or maybe I just liked these characters more， but Leanna and Emory were perfect for each other from the get-go。 Both were widowed fairly young， each had one child， neither was "looking"。 When Leanna's son， Chester， calls late at night from the police station， Leanna is first frightened， then embarrassed。 Arriving at the police station， she learns that Of the four books in this series， I think this one is my favorite。 Maybe because the main characters are both older than the typical Amish romance， or maybe I just liked these characters more， but Leanna and Emory were perfect for each other from the get-go。 Both were widowed fairly young， each had one child， neither was "looking"。 When Leanna's son， Chester， calls late at night from the police station， Leanna is first frightened， then embarrassed。 Arriving at the police station， she learns that Emory's daughter， Maggie， was arrested right along with Chester。 While Chester is rebellious， Maggie is horrified。 The only good thing to come out of the experience for Leanna， is meeting Emory。 As their friendship grows， jealousy comes at them from their children。 They are used to being their parents' focus and don't want a new dad or mom。 Emory also has the added shove of a pushy sister-in-law who is forever setting him up on dates he doesn't want。 She has no clue that his heart has already chosen Leanna， even though Emory is sure Leanna isn't interested in dating him。 Can Emory navigate a dating world he hasn't been a part of in years， without breaking anyone's heart - including his own？I have to say， at one point， I wanted to jump into the book and shake Empry's sister-in-law！ She really needed to be told to mind her own business。 Just when Emory and Leanna's friendship was getting off the ground， she invites Emory to join them for supper and just "happens" to invite her friend to join， and hey， Emory can drive you home。。。 Why he didn't tell her to lay off， I have no idea， but I was invested in the story enough that， had she stepped from the pages， I would have done it for him。It's the mark of a good book that emotions get involved when you read it， and mine were often tangled in what was happening to the characters。 Readers who enjoy Amish romance， will love The Jam & Jelly Nook。 This is the fourth in Amy Clipston's Amish Marketplace series， but it works as a stand alone story。 If you want to go back and read the rest， start with The Bake Shop， then move to The Farmstand， then on to The Coffee Corner to catch up with Leanna's three younger cousins。 I've enjoyed the whole series。 。。。more

This is the final book in Amy Clipston’s bestselling Amish Marketplace series。 and a great one it is。Leanna Wengerd is a widow of seven years， and lives with her son， Chester， with her mother and father。 Leanna runs the Jam and Jelly Nook in the farmer's market in order to help out with expenses for her family。 Like many teens， Chester gets into trouble with the police and because he was picked up with an Amish girl， Maggie。 This is how Leanna meets Emory， Maggie's dad， who is also a widower。 In This is the final book in Amy Clipston’s bestselling Amish Marketplace series。 and a great one it is。Leanna Wengerd is a widow of seven years， and lives with her son， Chester， with her mother and father。 Leanna runs the Jam and Jelly Nook in the farmer's market in order to help out with expenses for her family。 Like many teens， Chester gets into trouble with the police and because he was picked up with an Amish girl， Maggie。 This is how Leanna meets Emory， Maggie's dad， who is also a widower。 In no time， Leanna and Emory become friends because they have so much in common。 Both think there can never be anything between them but friendship。 There are many hurdles to their friendship， but over time， Emory has a big influence on Chester and Maggie begins to depend on Leanna's friendship。As this story unfolds， we are reacquainted with friends from previous books from the series and are able to catch up on their lives。 This is such a heartwarming story and a wonderful ending to the series。 Thank you Zondervan Publishers and Amy for allowing me to read this 5-star book through NetGalley。 I was not required to give a positive review， but it is well deserved。 It is an outstanding book and a job well done。 The publication date is May 4， 2021。 Pre-order yours today。 。。。more

The Jam and Jelly Nook by Amy Clipston is the fourth and final book in the Amish Marketplace series。 This book could easily be read as a stand-alone， but I recommend reading the first three books in the series first， to have a better understanding of the dynamics of the four cousins that the stories revolve around。The Jam and Jelly Nook is about Leanna Wengard and her son Chester。 We are first introduced to Leanna and Chester in the first book in the series。 It was interesting when I started rea The Jam and Jelly Nook by Amy Clipston is the fourth and final book in the Amish Marketplace series。 This book could easily be read as a stand-alone， but I recommend reading the first three books in the series first， to have a better understanding of the dynamics of the four cousins that the stories revolve around。The Jam and Jelly Nook is about Leanna Wengard and her son Chester。 We are first introduced to Leanna and Chester in the first book in the series。 It was interesting when I started reading this one to see how much he had changed。 I could not believe how much older he was， it really was like catching up with a member of the family。 He used to be such a sweet and helpful little boy， but to see him as a surly， rebellious teen was hard。 Leanna is doing the best she can， but she struggles to relate to her son。 Emory is also a widower， and he is raising his daughter Maggie alone。 When Leanna and Emory meet at the police station there is an instant connection because of how much they have in common。 Emory also struggles with how to raise Maggie and encouraging her to get out with friends of her own， instead of constantly taking care of him。Amy Clipston is a good writer and I enjoy reading her books。 I have enjoyed this series， although this book was my least favorite of the four。 There is a constant struggle between Leanna and Emory， and I think for their age and experience that it is ridiculous， so it got on my nerves。 Other than that， I really enjoyed the book。 It is always great catching up with what is going on with the four cousins and seeing what has changed from book to book。I highly recommend this book to anyone who is an Amy Clipston fan。 I recommend it to those who love reading about the Amish and enjoy clean romance novels。 I received a complimentary copy of this book from Zondervan through NetGalley。 I was not required to give a positive review。 The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own。 。。。more

God puts people in our lives when we need them the most。 I have enjoyed the Amish Marketplace series。 Romance at the marketplace brings a sense of simplicity and by-gone days。 But this romance takes it at a new level at the police station。Leanna Wengerd has her Jam and Jelly Nook to bring a little income to her small family。 She has been widowed for over 6 years and raising a 16 year old can be tough。 Leanna gets the dreaded phone call in the middle of night to pick up her son Chester at the pol God puts people in our lives when we need them the most。 I have enjoyed the Amish Marketplace series。 Romance at the marketplace brings a sense of simplicity and by-gone days。 But this romance takes it at a new level at the police station。Leanna Wengerd has her Jam and Jelly Nook to bring a little income to her small family。 She has been widowed for over 6 years and raising a 16 year old can be tough。 Leanna gets the dreaded phone call in the middle of night to pick up her son Chester at the police station。 She finds herself in a room with her son and a young Amish girl with her single father。 God works in mysterious ways。 Emory is raising his young daughter Maggie alone for over 5 years and he is feeling inadequate overwhelmed。 Chester and Maggie are not dealing with the loss of a parent in these formidable years and their parents see an opportunity in the other。 The families develop a friendship and the adults feel an attraction that they don't know how to express。 I appreciated how the friendship bloomed and how they waited for the sake of their children。 Waiting is a key component to faith and their relationship became a product of that。 The Amish Marketplace becomes a place not only a place where the Amish are selling but where are lives are touched and community is formed。A special thank you to Zondervan Publishing and Netgalley for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review。 。。。more

What a sweet Amish love story！ I loved this romance between Leanna and Emory who have both been widowed and are raising teenagers on their own。 This is number 4 （and last） of The Amish Marketplace series by Amy Clipston。 It can be read on its own but it's so great if you read them all as you get to see all the cousins through out the series。 Anyone who loves Amish fiction will enjoy this one！Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review。 All opinions are my own。 What a sweet Amish love story！ I loved this romance between Leanna and Emory who have both been widowed and are raising teenagers on their own。 This is number 4 （and last） of The Amish Marketplace series by Amy Clipston。 It can be read on its own but it's so great if you read them all as you get to see all the cousins through out the series。 Anyone who loves Amish fiction will enjoy this one！Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more

I received an advance copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review。 I requested this book because I love stories about the Amish community since my husband is from Lancaster County。 I have read other books in this series and have enjoyed them。 I enjoyed how this story brought back many of the previous family members and updated the readers as to what is going on in their lives。 With this book you know an HEA is coming， but it took a long time getting there。 I received an advance copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review。 I requested this book because I love stories about the Amish community since my husband is from Lancaster County。 I have read other books in this series and have enjoyed them。 I enjoyed how this story brought back many of the previous family members and updated the readers as to what is going on in their lives。 With this book you know an HEA is coming， but it took a long time getting there。 The constant back-and-forth struggle of “Does he love me？” “Does she love me？” turned me off and I was eager for the end。 。。。more

Just like the rest of the books in this series， I could not lay it down。 I loved the story of Emory and Leanna along with Chester and Maggie。 It was great to catch up with the rest of the cousins。 I have loved the whole series and I wish it could continue。 They were all books I did not want to end。

The Jam and Jelly Nook is the final story in the Amish Marketplace series that features the last cousin， Leanna。 Leanna is a widower of seven years with a teenage son ， Chester， who is not only struggling with the loss of his dad， but also whether or not he wants to remain Amish。 When Leanna receives a phone call from the police station from her son to come pick him up for trespassing and swimming on private property， she feels like a failure as a mom。 Emory， a widow of six years and left to rai The Jam and Jelly Nook is the final story in the Amish Marketplace series that features the last cousin， Leanna。 Leanna is a widower of seven years with a teenage son ， Chester， who is not only struggling with the loss of his dad， but also whether or not he wants to remain Amish。 When Leanna receives a phone call from the police station from her son to come pick him up for trespassing and swimming on private property， she feels like a failure as a mom。 Emory， a widow of six years and left to raise his teenage daughter， Maggie， also receives a phone call from the police station that night。 Maggie， who is shy and would rather stay at home and sew， went out with her friends and the teens decided to trespass on someone’s farm and go swimming。 Since Maggie did not want to even be there， much less swim， she sat in a buggy to wait and when the police arrived， they caught her and Chester while the other two friends escaped。 A friendship builds between Leanna and Emory because they have so much in common with each other。 As they begin to talk and see each other more， Maggie and Chester are not ready to accept that their parents enjoy each other’s company。 Emory sees Leanna as someone who could possibly pull Maggie out of her shell and get her to attend youth gatherings and Leanna sees Emory as someone who could teach her son to build sheds and build his confidence。 When Emory’s family pressures him to start dating， they introduce him to Madelyne。 Even though Emory begins seeing her， he does not feel the connection that he has with Leanna。 Chester tells his mom that he thinks Emory is dating someone and also tells Emory that his mom is not interested in dating anyone so both of them become uncomfortable in their friendship with each other and they struggle to keep their feelings for each other from growing。 Will Maggie overcome her shyness and Chester ever gain his confidence？ Will Leanna and Emory’s relationship ever become more than friends？ How will each of them continue to deal with the struggles of raising teenagers without their spouses guidance？ Will Leanna ever find love and a good man like her cousins did？ Will Chester decide to “jump the fence” and live in the English world？ So many questions and all the answers are found in this book。 The author intertwined all the characters together and made it hard to put the book down until you found out what happened next。 I enjoyed it very much and think the reader would have a better understanding of the characters and enjoy them more if they read all of the books in order。 I received a copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher for my honest opinion of this book。 。。。more

The Jam and Jelly Nook was such a satisfying read！ It introduced me to new characters and kept me current in the lives of characters from former books in the series。 Amy Clipson's characters are so well developed。 I feel like I would recognize them if I passed them on the street。 The ending was absolutely perfect。 It leaves me sadly wishing this wasn't the final book in the series and hoping Ms。 Clipson will reconsider and add more。 I received an ARC from the publisher through NetGalley。 The opi The Jam and Jelly Nook was such a satisfying read！ It introduced me to new characters and kept me current in the lives of characters from former books in the series。 Amy Clipson's characters are so well developed。 I feel like I would recognize them if I passed them on the street。 The ending was absolutely perfect。 It leaves me sadly wishing this wasn't the final book in the series and hoping Ms。 Clipson will reconsider and add more。 I received an ARC from the publisher through NetGalley。 The opinions expressed in this review are solely my own。 。。。more

3。5 starsI liked this book but I was expecting to like it more。I enjoyed reading this book because it was about an older， widowed character which is uncommon in books in general and also in Amish fiction， in my experience。 I also really liked that the children of the main characters were involved as well as the families and not just props。 It was also pretty nice to catch the glimpses of characters from the other books （although this can be read as a stand alone）。 And the cover was very pretty！H 3。5 starsI liked this book but I was expecting to like it more。I enjoyed reading this book because it was about an older， widowed character which is uncommon in books in general and also in Amish fiction， in my experience。 I also really liked that the children of the main characters were involved as well as the families and not just props。 It was also pretty nice to catch the glimpses of characters from the other books （although this can be read as a stand alone）。 And the cover was very pretty！However， I felt that the main characters were too similar （in their lifes and their problems and even in their personalities a bit） which felt weird。 The connection between them was， also， a bit too fast for it to feel real and logical for me。 I think my main problem with the book was that the main characters were not relatable to me or anyone I know and there wasn't enough depth for me to understand them and connect without that previous knowledge。All in all， a good， entertaining read that a lot of people will like a lot more than I did （and I did like the story despite the problems detailed above）I received an ARC of this book via NetGalley and Zondervan Fiction。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more

This is the final book of the Marketplace series by Amy Clipston。 You don’t necessarily need to read them in order， but for the character development you really should。 This was my favorite of the four， but the others were wonderful as well。 Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for my honest review。

I am so going to miss going to the marketplace with the cousins！ These girls have been a wonderful treat to get to know。 I wish I could have had such a tight relationship with my cousins。
