Who are Rebecca and Matthew? Who is Steven Stowe, or for that matter Ray Estevez? Who is Tim? What is G, G, & S? Who is Robert? When Rebecca finds something she is not meant to see, what happens? Who is she under threat from? Why? Will we ever truly find out what is going on, who is behind it, and why? When she gets off the bus with someone, who is one of the first people to see her? Who is Daniel? It was fun watching this game of hide and seek in this Amish based story. Gave it an air that I have not seen in other books. Lots of fun. I really enjoyed the read and look forward to reading more from this author now.

RECEIVED THIS BOOK AS A GIFT FOR A FAIR/HONEST REVIEW and REVIEWER FOR Bloggin' With M. Brennan.

With this story we are transplanted from San Francisco to the back hills of Missouri, from a hustle and bustle city to a plain and quiet way of life in Missouri.
This is a mystery that starts on page one and doesn’t end basically until the last page is turned. What a surprise you are in store for how the evil is captured, I loved it, and so unexpected.
We have a woman on the run, basically for her life, and she is traveling with her darling six-year-old son. Now I could see why her ex husband was trying to find his son, but that wasn’t all he wanted, and we find ourselves cringing at the brutality of what they are capable of doing in the name of greed.
Two people are thrown together, one the ex wife and the other the former Amish sheriff, and their chance meeting is about to change their lives forever. I loved how the Amish community rallies around our hiding mom and child, and how the six year old is protected and welcomed into their fold.
I see it as a mistake that Rebecca makes when she takes things that don’t belong to her, but don’t think she ever realized how much jeopardy she put her and her son’s life in, and in the end even more lives are in peril.
With the abundance of food, and mostly pie, there is a bit of romance, and then there is a lot of hiding that goes on here. A very different type of Amish story.
I received this book through Net Galley and Harlequin Superromance and was not required to give a positive review.

I'm surprised this book is published by Harlequin Superromance as it didn't feel romantic to me at all. I like books set in the Amish Community but didn't really get a full feel of the Amish life in this book. The story is quite boring and concentrates mainly on the danger Rebecca is in due to something she found out about her ex husband.

The romance between Rebecca and Daniel seemed to come out of nowhere as for the majority of the book they don't mention being attracted to each other then next minute share a kiss. That was all for another good length of the book until the romance suddenly comes near the end of the book but it was a little too late for me and I felt no chemistry between them and wasn't therefore convinced of the syrupy ending with declarations of love and a marriage proposal.

Not what I expected.
